How much traction is this really going to get

Good thing they had that "falling out", huh?

The conspiracy part of me wonders if it was engineered...

I've thought that myself.

Re: How much traction is this really going to get

“When push comes to shove the Liberals will make any deal with anybody,” Harper said after he was forced to rush back for a midnight vote. “And it doesn’t matter whether it’s with the socialists or with the separatists or any bunch of crooks they can find.”


Guess that means the Liberals will be making deals with the Conservatives.

The Conservatives need a new Mulroney to trick people into voting for them for a decade or so.

Care to expand or explain the nature of this trickery?

Really, it doesn't take a lot of rocket science to see what is going on here.

Kindergarden bickering over soundbites, presumably.

The correct response to being called a doodoohead is not calling the other party a kakabrains, but rather something a bit more detached and mature.

Well, the original budget was a deal with the Conservatives. Then, Gomery happenned and the Conservatives decided that reneging was a better idea.

Martin seems hell bent to drag the Liberals back left.

Bollocks. If Martin had a majority, he'd be merging banks, cutting corporate taxes, and surrendering Canadian sovereignity to the US like there was no tomorrow.

And what is wrong with that?

And Canada is like the kind wife to the drunk on the stool. Keeps getting her ass beat, because they've gotten so used to things being that way.

Canadian politics is cute.

Oh that's easy. How about the Conservative rumour during the 88 elextion that journalists would be able to work in the US without a greencard. Or the story about Canadians being alble to buy cars in the states and bring them across the border. Both lies were widespread at the time.

I was just laughing at the idiot Harper who said that the Liberals would make deals with the socialists, the seperatists and crooks. Well if the NDP are the socialists, the BQ are the seperatists so that means the only party left that the Liberals could deal with are the crooks in the Conservative party.

Nah, Canada is like the woman who knows her husband isn't perfect, but he's better than that bastard she dated in the 80s.

And this was how Mulroney 'tricked' the Canadian public!? Two back to back majorities on the strength of duty free cars? Be serious.

edit: Btw, were you not one of the posters critical of me for thinking the Canadian public was stupid. If you really believe your posted statement about journalists and cars perhaps I am right?

Too bad this came up late on a Friday. This discussion could have been a hoot.
