@doomsword86 You really want chairman Jack as a Prime Minister? He would only represent the big unions and not the people of Canada.

@doomsword86 The police are very liberal when it comes to pot. B.C.produces billions of dollars worth of cannabis every year and the police only go after the big guys, not a person that grows their own supply.

What Jack says to get your vote is not what he would do if the NDP ever came into power. There is a big difference between an opposition party and a ruling party. A lot of other things come into play, i.e. what the Americans want etc. Canada is very dependent on the Americans, like 80%.

Ignatieff is a fucking retard! Later Douche.

Chears iggy, it's unanimous, your a fucking loooooser!

This arrogant opportunist will drive the Liberal Party not only to defeat but into the grave. Yuck. By refusing to work with the NDP he is guaranteeing that they will surge past the Liberals. Maybe he spent so much time in the US passing himself off as an American that he can't understand that Canada does not have a 2 party system.

Damn Iggy you are really sketchy, better than Harper though. Though Jack is looking good, probably going to vote NDP

[1988scottcarey]

He got aggressive when a "vote" was for the liberal party and NOT the coliation

If the opposition has the courage, they will defeat the government after parliament reconvenes. This is assuming another Harper minority. The GG would not call another election but would ask the opposition, if they could form a government, that has the confidence of parliament. This is standard procedure, when a government falls back to back, without any business of parliament conducted. If the opposition can form a government, the GG gives them the mandate to govern.
