More meat for "the Fall", as you put it. :)<BR/><BR/>And I, too, do not want to see that immigration bill passed.<BR/><BR/>My one concern is that the longer the Cons are in power the more they will take away from us & not just "our" money that they want to line their Party coffers with as in this In-Out Scheme. They have already done major damage to much needed programs by eliminating them or not funding them any longer. And Flaherty is making sure there will be no money for anymore social programs that are desperately needed by a fairly large portion of the population. They make such a lot of changes in secret that it's frightening.<BR/><BR/>But, yes, wait a little longer to let the negative become full blown.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info on the upcoming press conference!penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-25318749538597174332008-04-23T19:44:00.000-04:002008-04-23T19:44:00.000-04:00sconed...yes desparation is in the air.Brodie and ...sconed...yes desparation is in the air.<BR/><BR/>Brodie and others in the party are apparently <A HREF="http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Politics/2008/04/21/5350566-cp.html" REL="nofollow">worried</A> about what EC might have.<BR/><BR/>Not that they would be illegal mind you, just embarrassing and pushing the line.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-89765711588703245082008-04-23T19:35:00.000-04:002008-04-23T19:35:00.000-04:00penlan, the Lib's are holding a press conference t...penlan, the Lib's are holding a press conference tomorrow, apparently exposing more of the affidavit.<BR/><BR/>While it feels like election now, I'm not convinced that patience might be our best friend at the moment.<BR/><BR/>The one thing I don't want to see is hidden immigration bill pass.

Too many scandals now & more & more is being revealed about their breaking the law & rules & the follow ups that are now being carried out by ethics commissioners, EC & who knows what else, that they can no longer hide behind spin. They have done this one too many times & the straw has finally broken the camels back.

I thought the way Ignatieff handled the in and out was good. Of course it is more complex than what he said but reducing it to <I>they over spent their legal limit</I> made good use of the KISS principle.<BR/><BR/>Boy, moral among the public service must be low.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-10539121844643163032008-04-23T00:47:00.000-04:002008-04-23T00:47:00.000-04:00o/t and I apologize, but, just wondering how you...o/t and I apologize, but, just wondering how you felt about James' version of Ezra on MDL.<BR/>By your comment, it seemed you watched it.<BR/><BR/>When asked by Scott if it was about Elections Canada, he said yes. Well it was about Brenda Martin.<BR/>He said Ezra talked over everyone. Well, Ezra was last to comment, he talked over no one, was silent until his turn.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-23885779069266984102008-04-22T22:53:00.000-04:002008-04-22T22:53:00.000-04:00I would not worry too much knb because the changes...I would not worry too much knb because the changes he has made have all been transitory.<BR/><BR/>Nothing he has done so far cannot be changed when he is finally relegated to the dustbin of history.<BR/><BR/>It is true that the Quebec Nation motion and the GST cuts will not be changed but the next government will be able to get around them. Everything else he has done can be changed quite easily.<BR/><BR/>In fact, it will be interesting to see how he reacts when he sees his "legacy" so easily dismantled after he loses the government.<BR/><BR/>And make no mistake, this recent scandal is a government killer. Canadians who did not give him much of a vote of confidence in 2006 are not very likely to give him a bigger one after this scandal.<BR/><BR/>The Conservatives have created the conditions for their defeat now it is just of matter of waiting for the right time Mr. Dion to deliver the coup de grace.ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.com
