I thin...The guy really quite moronic isn't he?<br /><br />I think the PM still has lots of cards to deal. Don't forget Harper's team were expecting and preparing for Iffy when the LPOC elected Dion.<br />They've likely got plenty and are saving it to use in a campaign. <br /><br />Stephen Taylor's got a new post us that's worth a read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-81754808216929661342010-01-28T19:00:53.745-07:002010-01-28T19:00:53.745-07:00I am not sure if he does not know or no longer bot...I am not sure if he does not know or no longer bothers to care.

He was asked a question about the Equalization Program. And he gave the same kind of "I don't have a clue" answer. The audience laughed.<br /><br />In a recent scrum, a Quebec reporter asked Iggy about a federal maintenance contract that was being taken away from Quebec. This was big news in Quebec, yet Iggy said he hadn't heard about it ! And will get back to her.<br /><br />This is maybe Iggy's biggest achilles heels--he doesn't understand the federal files and issues. Certainly nowhere near Harper's level. And that ignorance will become painfully obvious during the intense scrutiny of an election campaign.<br /><br />He won't have Dion's excuses of poor hearing and language skills.Calgary Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036174847335286409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-71411484091955755472010-01-28T11:14:49.301-07:002010-01-28T11:14:49.301-07:00And I should add that so now does CTV and CBC both...And I should add that so now does CTV and CBC both have the comments, as both of which have been visiting me here numerous times over the last few days.<br /><br />Hi Kady =)Ardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500944437649023719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-11881433319130111542010-01-28T11:12:24.935-07:002010-01-28T11:12:24.935-07:00The thing that strikes me was Ignateiff's answ...The thing that strikes me was Ignateiff's answer to the question on the coalition where he says it MAY have happened if his rules would have been in place and then blows it off as if it does not really matter.<br /><br />The arrogance of this man is stunning.

I would argue that if the constitution is re-opened, then every facet of it must also be on the table:<br />Senate reform<br />equal representation by population<br />equalization payments<br />multiculturalism<br />bilingualism<br />property rights<br />human rights<br />etc, etc<br /><br />It's likely that Ontario and the Maritimes would give into anything that Quebec wanted, but I would hope that Nfld might show some cojones as they are getting screwed by Quebec already. If the west and territories held firm then either no changes can be made or we do re-open all of the above.skulemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-32983916399900160632010-01-28T07:33:28.260-07:002010-01-28T07:33:28.260-07:00I still think this group of coalition coup planner...I still think this group of coalition coup planners had something planned for after Jan 25 and the PM found out, just like last time. <br />Maybe we have to tell the cdn people about other dictators who have seized power, and turned the country into a wasteland while they enlarged their bank accounts. But, the liberals have a history of stealing tax dollars, think what they could do with unlimited power to stop them.<br />It must be very embarrasing for the likes of Hedy, Ujaal, Iggy and others to know that canadians will never elect them so they must seize power any way then can.maryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099534478709227356noreply@blogger.com
