  1. Iggy is self-destructing, imploding. Fan the flames. Pump the bellows.

    “When he is found out, he has to find various slurs to attack his opponents.”
    >>> Here is Iggy’s slur attack mode, via MSM:
    “Ignatieff said the Sault Ste. Marie speech is evidence of Harper’s duplicitous, spiteful nature.”

    Lorraine @ #72 said at BLY*:
    “There ARE Liberals who talk openly about making an “agreement” with the NDP – but only AFTER the election so we the stupid voters will be duped by a bait and switch.
    …asked a Toronto area Liberal and former denizen of the Hill whether he agreed with the idea that in order for the Grits to overcome the problems inherent in vote splitting on the left they needed to explore the possibility of an entente cordiale with the NDP. And that perhaps Bob Rae might be the right man for that job.
    “I agree. But that is a conversation for AFTER the writs are returned.
    And bollocks to the NDP. I don’t trust them, and they hate Liberals way more than Tories. Like I said, we can “negotiate” with them AFTER the dust settles.”

    Harper knows that this is his last round
    and again he can not get majority
    and but the qustion arised
    whether or nto liberal and NDP and quebec can also get majority
    in coalition of join of all parties together can these 4 group can work together
    apprently Harper are not work with them
    also:
    may be conservative may need person to
    help conservative get new person to put more
    majority if tehy think they may get for next round
    plus 24% who are not vote for either party proof
    the job of all parties is nto clear for so many canadian
    and draw line of differnces is not clear in detail to Canadian still
    ==
    next ban wepean is good idea since all problems will lead to this as well.
    intention for who even is PM is in future
    is taht
    whether or not they care about
    every single person of Canadaina right
    or for small crime in one parties bit up all communitry
    taht is discrimination still in Canada made all parties get seperted
    the best way:
    Harper and other person get elected like
    Obama and Mrs. CLintron and when one number go higheer other person can drop and join to other parties as well
    basically I strongly recommanded
    for Liberal and NDP and qubeqa and Conservative come with two person elected for each parteis and let him or her to help and other remain become one of assitant for other person got elected or member of parlimant

  3. Did you slip away to the Bilderberg meeting in Greece like Obama and Hillary in Virgina last year? Don’t be shy, nothing to be secretive about, right. Come on, fess up. Are you the next puppet in waiting like the Big O?

  4. Liberal eats, shoots, and leaves both of Lib Iggy’s Feet.
    Iggy’s Separatist Coalition by Stealth exposed by one of his own Liberals.
    It’s the Iggy Liberals’ Oswald Syndrome.
    Iggy is self-destructing.

    “Prime minister’s ‘bootleg’ videographer outed!
    The bootleg video of Prime Minister Stephen Harper that’s been drawing nationwide attention was taken by local Liberal Party member Justin Tetreault, SooToday.com News has learned.
    “I taped the event on my digital camera, in plain view, and after rewatching the tape and hearing Harper’s comments again, I shared it with friends, some of whom are also Liberals,” Tetreault told us tonight.”
    “”I have always been a proud Young Liberal, and have never hidden that fact from anyone,” Tetreault told us tonight. “I was invited to the event by Josh Pringle, the Conservative riding president, who knows I am a Liberal.”
    Tetreault has held numerous positions within the provincial and federal Liberal parties, including president of the Algoma University Young Liberals and northern coordinator of the Ontario Young Liberals, and has served as a director on both local riding associations.
    He has also assisted in many campaigns, including Michael Ignatieff’s bid for the leadership of the the Liberal Party of Canada.
    Just yesterday, Tetreault recommenced writing for SooToday.com’s Editorials page.”

  5. Tetreault just saved the CPC some big bucks. If the comments at CTV.ca are any indication, the video that has Iggy so (dramatically) insensed has turned into a great campaign kick-off for PMSH.
    Hope Doug Finley sends him a thank you card at least.

  6. Searched the CBC’s news archive for something on Kenney’s recent accusations against Ignatieff but of course could find nothing. Where’s something similar like “Tape reveals ‘real Ignatieff’: Kenney”?
    Love the way CBC operates. Often Ignatieff will attack Harper and Harper will attack Ignatieff. But both will be described by the CBC to favour the same guy. “Ignatieff slams Harper” and “Harper on the defensive”
    Fire. Them. All.

  7. Too funny. As if this video was secretly taped and released by accident on Harper’s account. ‘M’ is for Morons, and Harper has them chasing their tales already. Bring the vote faster please.

  8. Just a comment about the supposed upcoming election that everyone is nattering about. Consider this, if the Opposition vote down the Government in a non-confidence motion then PMSH is obliged to go to the GG and ask Her to disolve Parliament. At that point the GG has two options; she can disolve Parliament and call an election, or She can request the Leader of the next largest Party in the Commons if he can form a coalition government. There doesn’t have to be an election if the Leader of the next largest Party tells the GG that the Opposition is united and can form a government. This is what the Liberals are betting on. After granting the Conservatives a stay of execution with the prorogation last year there is nothing to stop the GG from giving the Loyal Opposition a chance to govern. I could be wrong but just in case I’m getting out my sythe and pitchfork, cause I don’t see an election being called for this Fall and I think you should all get ready to batten down the hatches!!!!

  9. Only in Canada could you have the opposition cry foul because the Government in power wants to be a Majority to enact an agenda we all know about!
    How many want to bet this nonsense would not even have been heard if not for the fact its was Conservatives wanting a majority in Parliament? Any takers? Thought not. If the Liberals would have said this the Toronto Star would have done hand springs in encouragement. Columns of how wise Iggy is rolling off the presses, shouted from the CBC. One good thing though. The Media has spent so much money on the last 4 elections I hear they can’t afford to cover Layton. What a tragedy for the Country.
    The MSM poodles are at it again.

  10. Antenor, while you may be technically correct, long-established convention would dictate that the GG dissolve parliament in the event of a non-confidence vote.
    Pretty straight-forward, and there’s certainly no compelling reason why the GG would act against convention.

  11. While there may be no compelling reason for Her to act against convention there is also no compelling reason for Her to call another election in such a short time since the last one, and cost the taxpayers another 300 to 400 million dollars. The Opposition if requested by the GG would be legally authorized to take power, unlike last year when they precipitously announced a coalition before they were requested to do so. At that time they could have been charged for acting against the Crown. Now they are well placed to take over providing the GG give them the opening. It will be an interesting next few days.
