Chretien begins forming his fascist dictatorship

[KrazyHorse]

Someone else who has some idea about canadian politics should talk some sense into you. Harper and the Liberals?

[Asher]

I never, ever, said anything about the Liberals and CA cooperating.

The Liberals should burn in hell.

The notion of the Liberals and NDP forming a coalition government is outrageous. If Paul Martin is the next leader (which most people think will be -- I don't know why you don't), then the Liberals will be one step closer to the CA than the NDP. A coalition with the NDP wouldn't serve ANYONE's interests.

Martin was a right-wing Liberal. Don't try to dress your bias up as objective reporting...

I'm happy with the turn things are taking. Next JC should appoint Allan Rock Deputy PM in Manley's place. Then we could see Rock for PM in 2005.

Canada needs the rock as its PM

Hey, he did play in the CFL...

[Asher]

Not only for the CFL, but he played for Calgary.

Don't say that Sprayber. We've already got one. Your's is smarter.

It is in Ontario and east.

Half the people I know in Ontario would have voted Reform/CA had Preston Manning still been running the show last election.

Ontario does not trust the NDP. The last time the provincial gov't in Ontario was NDP, and they screwed over the province.

Wait a second here, I'm seeing a trend.
When was the last time the NDP didn't screw up?

Yeah but you don't let yours out where others can see him


You guys would definitly not be ignored if you had The Rock as your PM. Of course you would have to modify question time a little bit

[KrazyHorse]

Hmm. I recall the NDP picking up a seat in Windsor in the recent byelections...

[Asher]

Oh, my bad then, this is the beginning of a landslide.

The auto workers in Windsor decided they wanted socialists to give them more money.

Lots of replies at once. Woo.

Yeah, Paul Martin was right-wing, if by right-wing you mean 'competent'. Of course, it's not really fair to categorize all left-wing parties as incompetent. It just so happens we only have one in Canada, the NDP, who are incompetant. I'm live in Alexa McDumbass' riding right now, and she's useless. She'll probably lose her seat in the next election though, if she doesn't pick a new riding to run in.

Losing Paul Martin will be a shame, since he has done a VERY good job. Denying that is sheer idiocy.

Of course, he's gauranteed to be running the party come February; hell, he's the main reason the Liberals are still running the country now. Denying that is also sheer idiocy. He's got so much running for him

• Left the economy in the best shape it's ever been
• He's been untouched by the political scandals
• He has the media behind him
• He has most of the party behind him

And the political spectrum in Canada is with the CA being very right-wing, the conservatives being right-wing/moderate-right (they vary), the Liberals being moderate-right/moderate (they also vary), the NDP being very left-wing, and the Natural Law Party floating somewhere above.

[KrazyHorse]

As I read it, in Nov. 2000 the CA garnered 64 out of 88 seats in Manitoba-West...and 2 out of 213 in the ROC. It's still very much a regional party, and Stephen "Alberta Firewall" Harper's made it even more so.

[Asher]

Krazy, what's the problem with Stephen Harper and Ontario?

And why do you think he's worse than Stockwell Day?

The NDP isn't even a regional party. It's a party full of incompetent leftovers who want socialism, mainly because they can't find a decent job.

This is really a catch-22. CA isn't, by definition, a regional party, but because it's not based in Ontario, Ontario doesn't want to vote for it. It's stupid, is what it is. If Ontario and everyone else actually voted for the party, it would represent their interests as well (it'd NEED to to stay a majority government).

Criticizing the CA for mainly representing the West's interests, when the West is the only people electing them, is really retarded.

Make no mistake, the liberals are by and large a "regional" party as well considering they tend to give the shaft to regions who don't vote for them.

[KrazyHorse]

In other words, if Ontario was more like Alberta then the CA would be a national party.

[Asher]

I never said that.

If Ontario actually would look at the party for what it is, a right wing party rather than a regional party, then they'd get MPs that would represent their views, rather than the west.

It amazes me people blast the CA for representing the West's views only. People really expect MPs who come from the West to support Ontario's views on matters or something?

The CA would be a national party if the nation voted for it. Canadian voters unfairly label the CA as a regional party BECAUSE no one else votes for it, and thus the regions who DO vote for it get most representation.
