You got Conrad Black endorsing Trudeau and Rob Ford endorsing Harper. Isn't there something about a pot and a kettle that would be relevant to that hilarity.

Sooooo, you got nothing then. And his legacy is, he's an ex-con who renounced his Canadian citizenship in exchange for a British title.
Flossy can't separate people defending Conrad's right to two citizenships, like the Mulcair, Dion. Or how he had a right to return to Canada, like Omar.

Flossy is very one dimensional, if you haven't already grasped that.

Can you show me Fords criminal conviction please?

Try harder bud.

Why don't you actually read the article I posted and you will see how much he has been the Conbot's Messiah.

Oh my, more irrational and emotional outbursts.

Are you sure you're ok? I mean you've resorted to homophobia and moronic statements like the above. Maybe you need that tempra and a nap, more than you know.

I know who Black is, I wasn't born yesterday. It still doesn't change what he is though, no matter how much you wish it did.


I find it amusing that you see something major about how this looks for Harper. So you think it's a bad thing for Harper that a former, staunch Conservative supporter and now current foreigner and convicted felon has switched his allegiance to endorse Trudeau?


Go ahead, I'm still waiting for you to spin this one instead of making snide remarks.

He's good at both. Spin and snide remarks, that is.

You'll probably have to wait though. I think he's taken some tempra, and gone for a much needed nap.
That's ok. I do have a life and can't wait all day for him. I'll come back later, it'll give him time to try and find a good line of BS to spin this.

Oh I forgot what a fine, upstanding man Ford is.
Yeah, the thinking is really flawed there. I can see the "logic" though. Toronto being Canada's largest city has voted for a Conservative mayor the last two times now. I think the strategy is if you can take Toronto, you've pretty much got Ontario.
But Ford is a really, really bad cart, or horse. Doesn't really matter which way you look at it.

The Fords have a lot of loyal followers in Toronto.
Anyway, personal character aside, the Fords have the same right as everybody else to support whomever they please. Anyone who would NOT vote Conservative just because the Fords are is pretty shallow.

So do the Leafs, which shows how smart Torontonians are. :p

Of course they do just as Harper has the right to accept as many crack-head alcoholics as he wants into his campaign.

I agree. That would also means anyone who would not vote Lib because of Black would be shallow too. Unfortunately too much of our population is swayed by the campaign rhetoric and lies from ALL the major parties and don't bother to look at the real issues objectively.

Anyone who wouldn't vote Conservative is pretty shallow. :) :)

Certainly not shallow and certainly not voting for Harper and his crowd
Harper is going to a Tory gathering promoted by the Ford boys and one
a Narcotics abuser by self admission and we all know how the Tories
feel about drugs eh?

Boy, the NDP are getting desperate or something. Over the last 2 weeks they have called my house 3 times. Once to talk to my wife, who wasn't the least bit interested. Just a couple of days ago we got robo-called by Ed Broadbent on behalf of our local NDP MP. And just now, another call from our local NDP office.


Kind of sad really.
