I do agree that the 3 ideally should work together but when any sort of move forward is made it is greeted by hysterics from the media, other party leaders and a party members themselves. I still have hope from reading all real responses from Canadians (letters to editor) to the agreement versus the media spin and it gives me hope.

Well I agree with PR, although not sure about the system, but I am not sure I agree at the expense of a Harper majority.

Dryden is generalizing too much when he says people can’t afford to vote Green and NDP. There are places in the country where the Liberals don’t have a hope thanks to eastern policies like long-gun registry, and neglect of Canada’s rail transport system.

There are probably dozens of ridings where it is a forgone conclusion as to who will win, so a Green or NDP vote in that riding serves to bolster the cause of PR in future elections by bringing the popular vote further out of whack from what members we have sitting.

janfromthebruce: Straight From The Heart was published in 1985 – hardly ‘right before the election’ in 1993 as you wrongly claim.

This 13 year rhetoric is old and tiresome. There are new kids on the block in the Liberal party.

If my cousin got into legal trouble am I responsible? NO.

Enough already.

Kinsella has no problems with spending nearly $1 million on an old conflict and vendetta that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of Canadians – he’s wasting our time and money on an issue that is his own – not ours. Money could be much better spent.

Jack Layton is a smart man, but he has a serious EGO problem that is hurting his party. He’s out for Layton, not Canadians and it’s showing more and more. Layton should get rid of his tie die shirt and get out of the 70’s.

We could all waste time dredging up old crap on any one of the parties – enough already.

Time to move on. We can’t just keep living in the past.

As an NDP’er, I would never sacrifice my vote and give it to the Liberals.

Jan says,

“And when they interrupt with wondering why they didn’t get the ‘job done’ for the past 13 years, tell them that the libs really, really, really mean it this time.”

Still old.

And I know Martin and Chretien cut programs. I would have cut them too. We were in a deficit situation. What are you saying we should have rung up more debt? Just nutty talk. Talk about flogging a dead horse. We paid the price and paid off that debt and then Jack stepped in and made sure we didn’t get child care, we didn’t get the Kelowna Accord, students didn’t get any help financially..this is Jack’s fault when he crashed the government. Not only that but we gave the financial store this year to Quebec to boot. I might be a lot less unhappy about the Quebec thing if we hadn’t lost so much in return (e.g child care, Kelowna accord) Thanks Jack.
