I think you should look back further at what he has done.<BR/><BR/>Charest was basically selling Quebec land to his friends (Mont Orford) - Mulcair stood up to that. So give him kudos for doing what was right.<BR/><BR/>In Quebec, he's also responsible for a Sustainable Development Plan that was adopted by National Assembly (guide progressive when you think about it). When you think about it, that "Green Tax" in Quebec is partially based on his work.<BR/><BR/>While his style is abrasive, he's usually right.<BR/><BR/><BR/>To be honest, I'd like to see Mulcair take over the leadership of the NDP. While he'd make a better Liberal, he's doing okay by me at the moment... and as a bonus, he prefer to work in French - something that would go well in Quebec.<BR/><BR/><BR/>To Anon - even as a Liberal, he did not play well with others...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-52334352610540635532008-06-23T21:32:00.000-04:002008-06-23T21:32:00.000-04:00"I think he knows he's vulnerable or at least the ..."I think he knows he's vulnerable or at least the party is vis a vis their need for inroads in Quebec."<BR/><BR/>I think they are vulnerable in more places than Quebec if this plan draws in some of their voters.<BR/><BR/>Very vulnerable indeed.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-82210735851587649502008-06-23T20:32:00.000-04:002008-06-23T20:32:00.000-04:00He's a vindictive, petty, loud preachy, holier-tha...He's a vindictive, petty, loud preachy, holier-than-thou whining pompous windbag who can't handle responsibility and doesn't play well with others. <BR/><BR/>Which makes him a perfect New Democrat.<BR/><BR/>That and he has facial hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
