Never sit with your back to a door.
Globe & Mail is reporting the knives are out before the writ is dropped.
Several prospective successors to Paul Martin as Liberal leader are quietly building their networks for a campaign that some are calculating could start soon after the next election.
John Manley attended a reunion of 300 of his former leadership organizers on Saturday. Immigration Minister Joe Volpe crisscrossed the country this summer meeting ethnic-community leaders with Liberal ties.
Add to that Martin Cauchon, Maurizio Bevilacqua, and Scott Brison, according to Lunch Pale is tracking the chatter on various leftie blogs. Boy, that says something about how far from the center the Liberals have crawled of late – when the hard left claims a Liberal Party leadership campaign as their own.
Paul Martin’s minority government did achieve its primary goal – lasting longer[1] than Joe Clark’s did.
Footnote:
[1] Of course, Joe Clark was his own worst enemy, in that he actually respected non-confidence votes.
John Manley, Joe Volpe, Allan Rock and perhaps Frank McKenna potential leadership rivals and all with enough baggage to be charged extra for that flight.
Didn’t Clark confess that he allowed the vote to proceed because he simply miscounted MPs?
Personally, I would like to see Belinda Stronach take the helm of the Liberal Party. Her recommended democratic reforms and platform of renewal is incisive and timely. I can’t believe this obvious choice hasn’t occured to pundits and the Globe and Mail.
The airhead Belinda could start baking a bigger pie now to correct our economic problems.
She is able to buy a lot of staff but I wonder how many people she approaches to put on her payroll refuse to be bought by the almighty dollar and see that she really is nothing but an airhead with no substance and have too much pride to lend their good name to her selfish ambitions.
Actually, I think PM Belinda (Gawd, what a NAME!) would be an absolute HOOT.
Can you imagine the cigar and blue dress jokes comin’ out from that one?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Which was defeated on 14 Dec 1979.
Hey…maybe Sheila Copps will make a comeback again. Forget Belinda…Copps would be the star of that circus.
Im having better pictures of Belinda with a brazilian than Sheila Copps in a bikini in Hamilton harbour , or Svend with a Cuban in his mouth.
Cal2…who’s the Cuban I haven’t heard about? I thought Svend was taken?
Which American was it who said: “If nominated-I shall not run. If elected- I shall not serve.”?
or: “If you elect me, I will join the opposition.
And if you appoint me- I will move to Florida or Arizona and never come back, ( while continuing to to receive my paycheques and benefits.)
Bwahahahaha!
Cuban , Puerto Rican or some other caribbean immigrant who is actually an illegal alien that would have been sporting a big ring walking hand in hand with Svend in Stanley Park.
Our hope is that SvendRobinson (surely our most arrested MP and Hedy Fry (surely our MP with the most bizarre imagination and consistant liar) , head to head wipe each other out. I wouldnt want a conservative to represent that riding , the ridees being too strange for that label.This is the place where the government hands out free needles whilst
paying for it by reselling confiscated margarine from Quebec.
Remembrance day? I feel sorry for the vets who have to look and see they fought for Banada, the banana republic of the north.This place is unrecognizable to what they went to war for.
Guess Who? just poked his head up from a gopher hole? It’s the ex-Member for Kicking Horse Ass.Get ‘im. One shot’ll do it. >>>
