Stéphane Dion on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour

Born in Quebec City, Dion worked as a professor at the University of Montreal until 1996, when he won a by-election. He subsequently went on to become the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and later under Paul Martin, the Environment Minister. Fast forward a few more years and Stephane pulled off a stunning victory at the Liberal leadership convention, despite his underdog status. Well, now he's back in the ring as an underdog once more. Trailing the Conservatives by 10 points with less than a month until the election, the Liberals have some serious ground to make up. Will their 'Green Shift' plan be enough to turn things around? Watch the video and draw your own conclusions....

Can you imagine what a fucking mess this fool would have created with his stupid "Green Shift" bullshit.

@paulfornasier Running...to success, maybe? Or did I say too much?

Gee, a poet and a songwriter can't figure this one out.

Mikey's up (sic) to his standard, that's for sure.

@gricer1326 Bizarre entry from Mikey there...he mentions that we are running somewhere..and I don't know where....I'm a poet and I don't know it.....but anyway...he puts that post right after a previous post from me. Does that actually make logical sense? Not to me.....but to Mikey, I guess it does...hmmm...

@mikefastener Oh?

When did we move from one page to another?

You should notice that we expanded our coverage of this debate to an additional 2 pages.....

@paulfornasier I agree that left-wingers have held Canada back for many years. When will lie-berals and NPD'ers (Nude Democratic Party) apologize to Canadians?

Another sad commentary of the once proud party of Ed Broadbent!

Just an observation....

[mikefastener]

@gricer1326 Grocer and Pauly-boy are on the run!!!

Notice when challenged with facts they run away to another site.

Prove us wrong, sad debaters!

@billy51020 I agree...I think that is what the middle ground is about. No one interest group...esp one whose interest favours only a smaller minority portion of the population..should dominate the legislative agenda..

[billy51020]

@paulfornasier The Middle Class was practically created by labour. If there was no need for unions, then they wouldn't have arisen. But unions deserve regulation just as corporations do and just as individuals are subject to.

[paulfornasier]

@billy51020 I would say the largest part of the electorate...the middle class..is served by a mix of policies from the left and right. Otherwise..the middle class gets "used" to serve exclusive needs of either end..the rich or organized labour..and ends up paying the bill and losing their shirt either way. The problem these days is that neither end really cares much at all about fiscal responsiblity..and that is really my prime concern. The middle class pays the bill..taking it up the ying yang.

@billy51020 I agree that intelligence is there in all areas of the spectrum. But I find the dumbing down thing to be more prominent on the extremes. I think that's a clearer way of expressing what I feel. The ends of the spectrum provide clear ideas that people tend to hang onto.....often without really grasping the full effect on the population of those policies in isolation. The centre is a place of compromise....and I like it. The mix between business incentive, social policy and labour.
