Now, as to who forced an election, the Bloc had made it clear that should the Conservatives give Quebec a HST deal than they would support the budget and not bring the Conservatives down on other matters. The Conservatives said no deal and proceeded to offer the same deal to Quebec just after the writ was dropped.Kobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407275645274060038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14377350.post-34105669627156882652011-04-27T21:30:28.275-07:002011-04-27T21:30:28.275-07:00Sorry, I am just confused about why Ignatieff forc...Sorry, I am just confused about why Ignatieff forced this election and why he thinks he should lead a govt.<br /><br />... G8/20 overspending, corporate tax cuts, gun control, defence procurement, democratic deficit, health care ....<br /><br />I don't see a consistent narrative, nor do I see a position which Mr Ignatieff and the part have been substantially different ...<br /><br />perhaps it is why so many people have seemed to pursue the third wave ...Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392584022559747331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14377350.post-62597644820527355482011-04-27T15:47:34.597-07:002011-04-27T15:47:34.597-07:00Iggy is now musing about a merge.Iggy is now musing about a merge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14377350.post-8116681077926420772011-04-27T14:36:35.520-07:002011-04-27T14:36:35.520-07:00Exactly.

Realistically, there isn't too much that Jack could do that we would dislike as much as we dislike the Harper Party and their policies.<br /><br />Harper and Flaherty have done more to destroy our economy than ANY government duo in recent history. If Jack (with Liberal help - or vice versa) can govern anything like Allan Blakeney (NDP-Sask) or Roy Romanow (NDP-Sask), or even some Western European leaders of the center left - then we sit in good stead. <br /><br />Pragmatic progressive social evolution is NEEDED in Canada right now, or we continue to harp the tripe of the banks and MNCs who seem to have influenced our politics far too much.<br /><br />Canadians are speaking now - and the only party they are resonating with are the NDP. We should listen. <br /><br />Our politics (overall - including the NDP) had wandered too far to the right. Years of Harper and the angry right with their media mouthpieces can do that to you (look at the US). What we hear is the sound of Canadians saying, "whoa there, just a minute".<br /><br />To hold our own, and ensure we maintain the center, we must continue to attack the Conservatives. Let's finish Steve and send him home to Alberta.<br /><br />Monday.WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.com
