And where Is David Orchard ?
When Peter MacKay proved what a unprincipled man he really is by betraying the deal he made with David Orchard at the last Federal PC convention and helped Harper destroy Progressive Conservativism, I lost all respect for MacKay, and he's done nothing to retrieve that respect since. I went looking for Orchard this morning and found him.

Taliban want Jack Layton to win
That's the word from Afghanistan apparently, we want the guy who wants to pull out. I'm sorry, but I actually believe that Dick Cheney is the head of the Taliban.
It's About Water Rights
This election will prove to have been one in which a) Harper wins & water becomes a commodity, after which money talks & everybody else lays down & dies, or b) he loses; the corporate agenda ends & a cooperative commonwealth is created in Canada, in which our lower, middle & upper classes all acknowledge that when Queen Elizabeth signed the Charter of Rights and Freedoms she made Canadian individuals collectively sovereign, above & beyond the House of Parliament, the crown is us, the water is ours, or Conservatives give it away to their monied friends: that's the choice.
Harper is a Liar
He is lying about the Greens being Liberals, he lied about 4 year terms,he lies about the nature of his party and his policies, but I wouldn't expect a fundamentalist Christian to be able to discern a lie. They live a theological lie.
May v MacKay
Since Peter MacKay proved himself to be an unprincipled power hungry wannabe when he betrayed the Progressive Conservatives by reneging on his deal with David Orchard and made his infamous pact with Harper that resulted in Canada's most right wing government since Arthur Meighen, my hope is that the people of Central Nova will rise up against him and turf him out of office.

How about Real Debates ?
We have so few and such boringly formatted, sometimes ridiculously raucus yet relatively uninteresting 'debates' that they should either be scrapped because Canadians must not know how to debate, or the tv shows should become real debates, and taken from the hands of corporate apologists and the gutless CBC. The moderator should shut down spin doctoring and staying on message repetitiveness as soon as a catch phrase begins looping. You don't need to be potentially able to form a majority government to be in the debate, you just have to have the respect of the Canadian people, a respect discerned through previous vote percentages and whether a party receives public funding or not. I actually think it would be a very insightful debate if Stephen Harper wasn't there, then you would see Conservative spin for what it is: an attempt to manufacture consent through fear and message manipulation. In fact, there should as as many debates as required to leave a different leader out of every debate, and then one more with everyone. Then we'd be able to separate fact from fiction.
