I disagree with the entire post for a few reasons.

1.) Mulcair doesn't really have much tangible dirt on him yet.
2.) Brain Topp is not as moderate as Tom, so there's no reason for the NDP to move beyond that niche.
3.) Mulcair's been remarkably reserved throughout this entire campaign, but there's also nothing wrong with fighting fire with fire where it's necessary.

I would be worried if I were a Liberal supporter and Mulcair won.

That camp has the most to lose from his leadership.


T Mulcair, isn't he that supporter of zionist occupation, zionist apartied and zionist conducted genocide? As he supports war criminals do you think he would make for a very good public figure?

Mulcair might do reasonably well in Quebec. He might even hold on to 40 seats there.

He will be smashed outside of Quebec.

If this was true then Turmel would be bombing everywhere but Quebec.

That's not happening.

Where's Pete. I know he loves watching the sports fans as much as I do.

Memories of the annual draft, going on.

During a Cabinet shuffle, Charest offered Mulcair the position of Minister of Government Services in the Quebec government, and Mulcair chose to resign from cabinet rather than accept the apparent demotion. There was speculation that his contrary opinion on a project that would have transferred lands in Mont Orford Provincial park to private condominium developers led to his removal as Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks.

I can see why Ed Broadbent is not supporting Mulcair

Point....

But I think Turmel did not cause either the NDP fall, nor the recent rise of the NDP in polls.........I think she was seen as insignificant in the long run.

NOW we'll see how the NDP really does.....

Turmel was a former separatist. If anyone was to play to les quebecois and no one else, it would be her.

Whoever wins the leadership race will undoubtedly make some attempt at connecting with Canadians from west to east.

We've got three years and if the CPC keep blundering, it won't be that difficult to put them back into minority status - which I would already be greatly enthused with.

Oh, I'm book marking that one for the next time I see you pretend to be objective.



You really needed to ask?

He's a dipper all the way, all the time.

Well ya know I am just a DDH. I gotta ask. Just my nature. Waiting for an answer though.

Hopefully you aren't expecting an honest one.
