Hither and yon
So who gets the nod?

Justins out.

McKenna took a look at the books and bolted.

Manley is still looking at the books and the word on the street is that he ain't liking what he is seeing.

Kennedy.....who?

So its Bob and Iggy.

The rest is filler.

Iggy is an academic who has preferred to live and teach in the land of The Great Satan.
He is more American than most Americans.
Great to have him pop back and save us all.

Bob; well Bob has baggage.
Rumour has it that Bob cannot balance a chequebook.
Or perhaps now he can.
Also the word is that many who lean to the left view Bob as a bit of a quisling.
Anybody but Bob and all that.

I pick Iggy.
I think he can get the most cash scraped together.
And these days the Fed Libs have more hands out than the folks down at the Sally Ann.
Plus Igg has already been campaigning hard for months.

its Iggy.

Pick a random person out of the phone book and they would make a better leader then Dion.

Hopefully they pick someone who resides a littls closer to the centre.

To put Dion on the helm was a powerful move by the Liberals........it has a deep strategic emphasis.;-)

Cretin is the one who first brought in the rule changes knowing full well that most of the Liberal funding came from corporations; but what did he care, since he was on the way out and skewering Martin was foremost in Cretin's puny brain.

Holy crap, Walter, you and I agree on something. I gotta find another forum. Love your earings by the way.

:lol:

For all of Bob Rae's faults, he inherited a sh i tt y situation, way back when.

And, if he gets to be Lib-leader, he will again.

Me, I'd go to Florida for the winter.

Mehh, who needs it??

The best screwing in Canada happened during the last year of Mulroney in the tune of $225.0000 according to Mr Brown, and $300.000 according to the German who paid it..........
Guess what? Mulroney’s lower amount had to do with revenue Canada....so he can get a lower penalty for not filing on time... Talking about honorable business, oh my God.............................

Sorry Socrates.....Mulroney was scum, but the money did not belong to the taxpayers.......the best screwing in Canada (?!)'s history was the tens of millions paid out to Liberals (and kicked back to the Quebec Liberal Party) in the sponsorship scandal............

Chretien's most impressive achievement was to make the rat Mulroney look like a relatively honest man.

Good day Colpy,
The money may not belong to the taxpayer but according to reports it was received during the last days in the use of the PM'S OFFICE, correct? Either way it was immorality that got in the way.

Who are you to talk about immorality here when you are praising the immoral trudeau in another thread???

It's going to be fun to watch.

Bob Rae gearing up for Liberal leadership race

Updated Fri. Oct. 31 2008 6:30 PM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
Bob Rae said Friday he will be a candidate for the Liberal leadership and strongly rejected persistent rumours that he was backing away from a run at the party's top job.
"I have every intention of being a candidate, I have expressed that very directly to my leader, Mr. Dion," Rae told CTV's Mike Duffy Live on Friday afternoon.
Rae has reportedly sent a letter to Dion asking that he be relieved from his duties as foreign affairs critic, so he could concentrate on his leadership run.
Rae has also started to mobilize his campaign machinery, and he held a conference call Friday afternoon with about 60 organizers from across the country.
"Our campaign will be stronger, better organized than it was last time, and we're going to win. I'm looking forward to it very much," he said, referring to his unsuccessful bid for party leader in 2006.
Rae was forced to announce his intentions because of swirling rumours suggesting he was having second thoughts about entering the leadership fray.
"This is absolute nonsense," Rae said. "It is not worthy of the political process."
Some of Rae's strategists believe the rumours are being spread by supporters of potential leadership rivals Michael Ignatieff and John Manley, The Canadian Press reported.

I like the looks of Bob- AS A PERSON, but didn't he put Ontario in the tank when he was the premier? Or is that just good training for putting Canada in the tank? From what I can see right now I think Manly would be the best candidate to lead the party, but is he P.M. material? I think if everyone was smart they'd let Harper continue for a couple of more years while they hone their skills and if Harper is as bad as they all say they'll win in a landslide in two years and the people will be more in favour of having them.
