This and that...

Incompetence Part deux...and shows how Raitt and the Cons are playing politics with the health of Canadians.

L. Ian Macdonald continually comes to the defense of the Harperites. They are sounding more and more desperate, as I bet there is an internal bleeding of true Cons from their Party. Didn't a former Conservative PM say something along the lines of:

"You had an option, sir. You could have said, 'I am not going to do it. This is wrong for Canada, and I am not going to ask Canadians to pay the price.' You had an option, sir — to say 'no' — and you chose to say 'yes' to the old attitudes and the old stories of the Liberal Party. That sir, if I may say respectfully, that is not good enough for Canadians.

In a related event, yesterday in line at a local restaurant in Lennoxville, I was listen to three older fellows chatting.

"You hear how they are spending our money these days in Ottawa?"

"How?"

"40 (sic) billion dollars bailing out GM and their pensions. Where were they for other pensions? Maybe now that we are owners of GM, we'll get discounts!"

"Bastards..."

I will be at this event tomorrow. Update Friday...

The CBC-Ekos poll is simply amazing for its size and depth of surveying. A couple of interesting results in Quebec:

1. Liberals are tied with the Bloc in female voting intentions in Quebec.

2. Seniors are the largest bloc of supporters for the Liberals, and we outpace the Bloc in this category by more than 2:1.

3. We have a lot of work to do with youth...we need a dream, a vision...and we need to make it interesting, and relevant...
