Not to worry, STB............nothing is happening until after the election and even then, as Lizzie May stated, it will take 35 separate bills in the HOC to get anything done.

They also have a habit of putting people in the leadership role who are either totally unsuited for it - Stephan Dion; or are total eggheads with no understanding of politics or people - Michael Ignatieff or..........what we have now - an arrogant entitled brainless twit.
They always seem to be looking for "photogenic" (Jean Chretien excepted). All these action figures tend to be flawed, somehow.
Yeah, to some extent.
But no other party sinks to the depths of depravity as does the Liberal Party. I mean, seriously, they just today used the murder of 50 people in New Zealand as an excuse when they ended a Justice Committee hearing into their own corruption and attempts to influence a criminal prosecution.
In Canada at least, that is about as bad as it gets.
thank God
We need to rid ourselves of this gov't in October for the good of the country.
The Liberals have formed most of the governments of this country and I am goddam sick of their sense of entitlement. Maybe, those days are finally over and we'll return to a more balanced political landscape in this country. The apparent permanent severance of Quebec and the Liberal Party means that they'll have to learn to be more than a re-election machine.
The problem, as always, is that the english nattys nd the french nattys can never unite because they hate each other, while the english lefties and french lefties get along fine.
That one difference is what determines who forms the government
Perhaps if the Conservatives wrestled control of the party away from the social conservatives and focused on being fiscally conservative, they’d do a lot better. The simple reality is that Canadians are (generally speaking) fiscally conservative and socially liberal. This is what Ralph Klein and Jean Chrétien taught us. Both were socially liberal, balanced the budget and were reasonably popular. The only people that disliked them were party hacks
Oh gimme a break!
The Jean (the Don) Chretien's gov't was the most corrupt gov't in our nation's history.
And I don't mean just Adscam, although it is largely interconnected.
And the big reasons they eliminated the deficit (not to discredit them, they did do it) was the new revenue streams they got from Mulroney's GST and NAFTA, combined with downloading to the provinces.
the reason was also the massive cuts to federal spending.
this is where they downloaded things to the provinces that are still being disputed today.
they also cut the civil service/post office/military to pieces
they could only do this because they had a huge majority and lots of power and decided to use it.

Yup.
Pau! Martin downloaded to Mike Harris and Mike Harris downloaded to the City of Toronto which is why Toronto goes broke having to provide housing for immigrants invited into the country by the Feds.
Look at all the savings!!
What? It was a trick?
You mean, if Paul Martin hadn't "magically" made his deficit "disappear" by foisting it downstream, the Feds wouldn't need to put the cities on life-support drip.
