    They'll re-form the Reform.
    Quebec is irrelevant to the party, unless their numbers start picking up from 5%.

    Although, they have improved 150%, the largest percentage climb in any province.

      Big diff between 36% and 42%.
      Dude, you're behind the times. Your numbers are from a 20 Feb poll.

      An Ekos 28 Feb poll gives Libs 42%, Conservative 32%, NDP 15% and BQ 9%.
      See:


      The Liberals are up to their usual old tricks and Martin is distancing himself from the scandal. He looked decisive with his firing of Pelletier.

      The Liberals are rebounding and outpacing the Conservatives.

        And as for brainless Belinda vs Agathon, Agathon wins hands down. I mean Stronach dropped out of York University. Even I was able to complete a degree there.

          I heard that a summer intern from York working at HSBC did a royal job to their computer systems. It was said that HSBC would never hire any York grads from then on.

            Stronach is brainless. All you have to do to know that is listen to her talk. Both Martin and Layton would chew her up in a debate (but they would be be more subtle, since neither wants to pick on a girl).

            Little girl gets given daddy's company and can run to him for advice when she wants.

            Even if she was a good businessperson, that does not a good politician make. It's apples and oranges.

            And it doesn't matter anyway, the Liberals will win. You Albertans make me laugh. You are irrelevant in Canadian politics. Ontario and Quebec run things and, you may not like it, but that's the way it is. The Liberals will win - I don't like them - but they will win, simply because there is no credible alternative. The NDP has a better chance of doing well in the election than the tories.

            Molly is right about Turing BTW.

              At U of T we sell T shirts that say, "Friends don't let Friends go to York".

              It's a dump.

                Yeah, but it used to be so bad it was good. Much more interesting than a place like, say, Western or even U of T.

                    Computing Machinery and Intelligence is cited a lot in modern philosophy, but he never considered himself a philosopher whatsoever.

                    It's another example of how scientists (and mathematicians) do not need "dedicated" philosophers, because it's something that anyone can do. It is a philosophy, afterall...

                      You should have another hit of whatever you're taking. It must be good stuff.

                        In a telling statistic, almost 40 per cent of those surveyed this week by EKOS said they were "so disturbed with ethics and accountability" issues raised by the scandal that they "simply won't vote for the Liberals" in the next election.
                        Conservatives at 32% is the highest they have polled since 92.

                        However:

                        Looking across the country, the Liberals hold the lead in British Columbia, with 44 per cent support vs. 27 per cent for the Conservatives. But in Alberta, the Conservatives hold a strong lead, with 63 per cent support.
                        WTF?

                        I question those results for BC.

                          All of which is irrelevant- the question is, did he have an interest in philosophy, not was he a philosopher-

                            Wanna bet on that?

                                Oh.

                                Weren't the links working?

                                'His central contribution to science and PHILOSOPHY came through his treating the subject of SYMBOLIC LOGIC as a new branch of applied mathematics, giving it a physical and engineering content. Unwilling or unable to remain within any standard role or department of thought, Alan Turing continued a life full of incongruity. Though a shy, boyish, man, he had a pivotal role in world history through his role in Second World War cryptology. Though the founder of the dominant technology of the twentieth century, he variously impressed, charmed or disturbed people with his unworldly innocence and his dislike of moral or intellectual compromise.'

                                from one of them.
