It's only because I hate that horrible man so much that I can countenance the thought of Iggy.<BR/>And don't forget is he is in a coalition he will have to govern by consensus, and Jack and Duceppe can keep him in check....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-17675562603965631192008-12-08T22:42:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:42:00.000-05:00Hi janfromthebruce...as I told Beijing Iggy is too...Hi janfromthebruce...as I told Beijing Iggy is too right-wing for me. But I don't have to vote for him. All I ask is that the Liberals get their act together,so the Coalition can have a chance to make its case.I'm confident if they do that Canadians would be happy to have a more consensual and Canadian government actually governing instead of playing cheap political games.<BR/>If the Liberals decide to prop up Harper's hideous government they will pay a big price for wrecking all that hope for change, and I don't think Canadians will ever forgive them...<BR/>And I'm glad you like my posts...I really don't have the time these days. But if I have to give up sleeping I will... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-71470092328832094132008-12-08T22:34:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:34:00.000-05:00Hi Mark....don't worry about Harper he's in no pos...Hi Mark....don't worry about Harper he's in no position to critize anyone. Remember he's been really damaged.<BR/>As for Harper firing the Governor General for exercising her rights, well in that case I think we can ARREST him. :)<BR/>The fact is at a time like this the progressive forces just have to be ruthless, take power and keep it. If the Cons were in the same situation they'd do it too.<BR/>And since only the Cons have money for an election right now, the alternative to accepting the GG's offer is just letting Canada burn.<BR/>Extraordinary times require extraordinary actions...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-15369890785002266782008-12-08T22:27:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:27:00.000-05:00Hi Beijing...you're not the only one who feels tha...Hi Beijing...you're not the only one who feels that way. And I certainly wouldn't vote for him myself.But unfortunately this coalition won't work unless the Liberals are part of it. And since the Liberals seem determined to make him leader, I just want them to get it over with as soon as possible. So the Coalition has a chance to properly make its case. My hope is that the desperate situation will lead him to make the right choice....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-70307851517163188222008-12-08T10:06:00.000-05:002008-12-08T10:06:00.000-05:00Oh man...where is my noseplug?

Now we know they weren't serious about a coalition, because if they were, they'd have gone with Bob Rae, who has been in both parties and hasn't been holed up at Hahvud.

I have an Iggy organizser sitting beside me right now very pissed off.<BR/><BR/>Harper will dismiss the GG if she doesn't call an election.

I...As much as I love you Simon, I have to disagree. I think the Count is a quisling. He will go on to destroy the coalition and prop up the Conservatives until he feels the poll numbers are right for him to show a backbone. <BR/><BR/>Ignatieff is the worst thing to happen to the LPC. He has been since he first returned to Canada for his leadership quest. <BR/><BR/>This is an non-partisan opinion for sure. Maybe I have no right to say these things but I really believe him to be poison.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.com
