I'm glad he's getting his swan song earlier than expected. Now, if only the Liberals had a true leader *cough*. My inside sources tell me it's going to be Bob Rae. | ||

That would be a fucking disaster. I would no longer support the Liberals if they chose that fucking joke of a man to lead the party. Bob Rae is a an ex-premiere of Ontario. He was part of the ndp and his government was a complete disaster. I sure hope your sources have no idea what they are talking about. I have my money on Michael Ignatieff. I met the guy at a political convention in BC in 2007, and although I did feel he was as much of a phony as any other politician, he was a great speaker, which is something the Liberals are in desperate need of after being lead by Dion. | ||

Silly canuck. lols Ok, calling for a vote now is about the stupidest things the opposition parties can do; they have jack shit. The liberals are still looking for their new leader, nobody outside of quebec is gonna vote for the Bloc (I don't think Bloc runs outside of Quebec anyways), and nobody is serious enough to vote Layton in to deal with the friggan economy. There is a reason why the conservatives raised twice as much money than all the other opp. parties combined during the last election. Also note that the decrease in public funding was only a part of the fiscal package that Flaherty proposed. The general Canadian populace will not vote for a loosely-knit coalition, especially when this coalition is placed in contrast to the conservatives much better established government. Calling another vote just 6 weeks after the last one will piss off everybody and make them all vote conservatives. Right now I say the media is blowing everything out of proportion, they are being way too sensationalistic. When the real political and economic experts come out with their own opinions you'll see that most of them will agree that a election right now would not only piss off previous liberal, ndp and bloc supporters, but really damage the country as less time is spent on managing the struggling economy. | ||

I live in Ottawa and my inside reports are very good. I do not like Bob Rae. I think he is a joke as well. I just wish my sources were wrong, but they know a lot more than I do. Bob Rae isn't the answer for the Liberal Party. Michael Ignatieff, hm. I believe he was also mentioned and yes, he is a great public speaker but I have my doubts about him running a Nation. Those are the two biggest candidates to lead the Liberals though. ;/ | ||

Yes, he taught at Harvard, and the only reason he stopped teaching at Harvard was because he was brought up to Canada to be the next leader of the Liberals, but that didn't work out for him. I actually believe he was the head of a department at Harvard, not just a professor. Clearly he is a smart man, but with him living in the US for so long I question if he is in touch with Canadians and our values. When I met him he seemed to be a bit of an elitist and tried to avoid talking with everyone who was at the convention I was attending. He gave a couple great speeches though. @Showtime, I also have some connections in Ottawa who I am trying to get a hold of now. I have 2 friends who work for the liberal party, one even has a office in parliament. Hopefully I will be able to get some inside info on what the hell is going on. If I can, I will post in this thread. | ||

Which, frankly, is bullshit. I can't imagine too many Canadians being happy that the government they JUST elected got replaced with the people they DIDNT elect. | ||

althought having NDP in his cabinet would force him to be a bit more cuddly. | ||
