“*Stealing page from Liberals, NDP targets women in homestretch”

“If the NDP is really going to displace the Liberals as the main opposition party, they’re going to have to dip into the Grits’ old bag of tricks. Jack Layton has started to do a little of that with a last-week appeal to female voters.”

““Women are significantly less likely to be conservative or Conservative. So the pool of potential Liberal voters is always predominantly female,” said David Herle, a polling and market-research expert at the Gandalf Group who was a key Paul Martin strategist. Now Mr. Layton is fishing in the same pool.”

Oh, EBD, he's a neo-liberal socialist. It's not anger; it's leftist "righteous" indignation, doncha know?! /sarc

Every time I think this a$$ clown can't get any worse, he proves me wrong. He has always been a narcissist who loves to be in the spotlight, but it appears this is morphing into much more serious issues.

Just imagining how this would be treated in the media has this been a CPC MP?

hmmmmmm

Apprently this man has wimmins' issues? His treatment of Bev Oda went unreported by Liberal media. His absolutely disrespectful abusive treatment of Oda should of made headline news but it was ignored. Frankly he should be booted out of office ASAP.

C_miner, let's not drive off that bridge till we get to it.

Pat Martin is a disgrace but I am not sure if he is any worse than that other NDP freak Thomas Mulcair.

bverwey

The msm will never pick this up, look how long it took them to even acknowledge the Boooo and flyer garbage pictures. This is the last days and they are favouring the NDP now more than Biffy and LIEberals.

Only if you are a Con will they pounce on it. That is why msm thought that Bev Oda was guilty without given a chance to speak - it is ok with msm.

Can't wait until CBC gets budget cut in 1/2 - like Global Warming/Climate Change and HRC - the Cons are afraid to admidt wrong to support these expenses and continue funding.

Perhaps a majority might change their minds - doubt it though.

Tantrums? Nothing a good lickin' wouldn't cure.

tantrum interruptus gluteus maximus ruber est...

...insane!

There is a point there. I was talking to a female friend when she said she had voted in an advanced poll. She voted for Layton but wants a Conservative majority. Go figure.

I guess it would be too good to be true if, after the election, Martin were reduced to flipping burgers at a Winnipeg McDonald's.

I look forward to the day that martin is exposed as a neutered big mouth when someone of the fairer sex challenges him to a round of fisticuffs.

If there should be an NDP-led coalition running this country after May 3rd, you can bet that Pat Martin will have a prominent cabinet post.

The reason for the NDP surge in the polls, I think, is twofold: firstly, the Liberals are bleeding votes to them as a result of running a catastrophically inept campaign, despite the best efforts of the MSM to run interference for them. Secondly, Jack Layton, until now not being that close to power, feels free to offer the moon to voters, which apparently has great appeal in Quebec. The promises of the Tories and the Liberals, on the other hand, are somewhat constrained by fiscal reality. Layton can be as "hopey-changey" as he likes because so far no one is concerned about holding him to account for it.

It remains to be seen whether or not this surge will hold until election day.

Pat Martin is one scary guy getting a free pass from the MSM.
I live in Manitoba and not a word of this has hit the local news. It appears the politicians under the NDP banner can say and do anything they want to women with out a worry in the world of being held to account.The Winnipeg Free Press is the NDP BFF. How else do you explain year after year of NDP rule in Manitoba?

We must be gentle with him,EBD. He obviously grew up in an abusive environment.

He's my MP. I have never seen so many Conservative [Bev Pitura] lawn signs in an election, usually one has to look for them. He'll likely be re-elected.

Waiting patiently for Milewski,or Fife to track down the 'ex' to get the lowdown on what an ass Pat really is..waiting..ah,forget it.

This is who Pat Martin is. Anyone that has watched CPAC/HOC has seen this kind of behavior before. I believe that he has had to apologize a few times for comments he has made to female MP's. Martin is a @sshat, entitled to his entitlements.

Oh yes Pat is one of the newley, chosen ones by our MSM. Since Iggula has been a total intelliduncia disaster, that Harvard tall forehead thing just didn't go down our throats to easy, so Jack Lenin Layton has become the latest Lindssay Lowhand for us dullards out here in the land of the great unwashed. Yes, no investigation into the subsidized housing thing for Jack and Chow, no publishing of the NDPEE constitution, which looks like Marx's diary, no publishing anything of the Supermen of anger NON, management, Martin and Mulcair, never mind the lust to shut down the VERY BUSINESS that pays the bills for this NUT Jack, The Alberta Oil Sands. No our CTV CBC Globe Star have all jumped onto the NDPEE Titanic heading over the Niagra Falls of Business Failures. Women that vote for this communist must, have none or hate the children they have.

bvervey writes: "Pat Martin is a disgrace but I am not sure if he is any worse than that other NDP freak Thomas Mulcair."

Well put, and true. Mulcair is much better at putting on smiling airs of concern and bonhomie, but he is one of the nastiest pieces of work on the Hill, as anyone who works there will confirm.

"women of the female persuasion"

I haven't seen a line like that since the last Bowery Boys movie back in the day. Leo Gorcy made a career of that sort malaprop .... thanks for a great morning chuckle.

Thomas Mulcair and Pat Martin = the stuff of nightmares....they are the scariest thing about a PM Jack Layton...

Martin's insulting reference to Kelly Block was certainly not reported very well by the media. No surpise there. There was absolutely nothing racist about the bill and, according to most reports, it was welcomed by the rank and file natives and those chiefs that had nothing to hide.

Block is a personable and extremely hard-working MP and is very visible within her riding. Contrast this to Martin who is nothing more than a blustering windbag who gives a whole new meaning to the term a**hole.

He is a man with a limited horizon- a turd hurler, nothing more, nothing less.

Just a piece of scum trying to hang on long enough to ensure that he gets a big pension at the taxpayer's expense.

When that other Martin, Paul, was PM we used to laugh at Pat Martin's bons mots, eg. "there is nothing more useless on God's green earth than a Liberal backbencher". Sadly, for a number of years now we have been seeing the other side of this narcissistic, publicity-seeking, raging buffoon and it is not pretty at all.

Pat Martin is undoubtedly in need of professional help, but he thinks he is pure, so he won't seek it out. Unfortunately, that riding, Winnipeg Centre, is reflexively and stupidly NDP-voting. It was represented for decades by socialist St. Stanley Knowles whose boots, socialist as they were, Pat Martin is not worthy to lick. He is one very sick puppy.

Despite the apparent conspiracy by the Winnipeg Shackled Press and the rest of the MSM to hide Pat's true nature from his constituents, some of it is probably getting through. I expect this time his margin of victory will be reduced relative to the last election. But he will still be elected. And as wacked out as he may be, he still has something to aspire to - he is not as wacked out as Libby Davies. Yet.

All of the above say it well.

I know Kelly block personally and there is not a racist thought in her mind and biffjr. is right. Kelly is personable and has been hardworking long before she became an MP.

Martin reminds me of Trotsky and Mulcair reminds me of Felix Dzerzhinsky the Cheka founder.

No doubt you have all seen the latest Ekos poll that shows Smiling Jack the Marxist seems to be doing a great job of wooing some voters away from the Liberals.

For many liberals, a male conservative is an enemy, but a female conservative is something far worse - a traitor.

Bat shit crazy.
Truly saddening knowing this is what passes for government in our country.

I live in Winnipeg and have been ashamed of Pat Martin for years. However, this is the first I've heard of this incident; I'm sure it wasn't in any newspaper. Funny how the incident with Shelley Glover was national news when she was accused of "ageism" against Neville.

I remember Pat Martin being a guest on Charles Adler's show when it was live on CPAC I believe in 2004. Even then Pat Martin was seething with anger and Adler commented on it.

This guy is ridiculous. And yet he thinks he's right in everything he says because he's standing up for the supposed righteousness of the left in this country. Those comments towards Kelly Block are completely uncalled for. What a jerk. But is it any surprise that the liberal-biased media didn't report it? Of course not. Can't discredit an NDP MP right?

Sounds like a story that the Sun News Network should pick up on.

Here is the classic example of "biting the hands that feed you", Quebec going wildly after NDPEE, the very dopes that will shut down the MONEY TAPS, the evil TARRRRsands as Jack calls them, the people that send 9 billion a year Straight to Quebec. Go figure, Lenins court jester shutting down the economic driver that feeds a Province Quebec, who is 160 billion in debt on top of it all. Our so called MSM are the dangerous ones, aiding and abbetting the downfall of Canada like they have presided over, all while gloating in the USof A, unreal.

I live in Winnipeg-Centre, Pat Martin's riding. The NDP could run a convicted pedophile here and still win.

This is a typical Leftist response. They do not counter the argument presented, instead they try to destroy the person presenting the argument.

Obviously, Martin's bitter hatred towards conservative women is indicative of the systemic hatred of ALL women within the NDP ideology. Right? When John Baird argues passionately on an issue, the Left always says he's "angry", and that it shows that ALL conservatives are "angry".

farmer joe @ 11:23 - that's right out of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.

Also note that 'it' is used instead of 'him' or 'her'. Talk about dehumanizing.

think about this
A Coalition Coup led by Layton & Layton becomes the PM. Thats if a Conservative Minority happens.
Would this country be in bigtime touble?
So that said now will the Center Liberals seeing they may not be able to stop the Orange Crush swing their votes to Conservatives, Or would there be a Coup after the election within the Liberal Caucas & center liberals cross the floor to prevent this.
Dont forget all this prior coalition talk has been with Ignatieff leading the Coup with Layton just grabbing the coatails. Now this new scenario is predomiment on the horizon.
Which is even more troublesome for this country, A NDP Led Federal Govt with the support of Left Leaning Liberals, Dosanjj & Rae for example.

Despite having run a very gaffe-free campaign, notwithstanding the best efforts of the MSM to invent scandals, Harper still seems to be having difficulty motivating his troops. The prospect of an NDP-led coalition could be just what is needed to push his poll numbers decisively into majority territory by giving his supporters an issue to focus on. Up until now, that issue has been pretty elusive.

Off topic: Jack prepared to re-open constitution. I guess two days of success was too much for him to handle.

"Reopening Constitution not an 'immediate issue,' Layton says Globe and Mail"

Tall Jack Cane disappoints again.

'Nother setback for Taliban Jack:

"Escaped Taliban prisoners
BBC News"

The apocalyptic vision of an NDP-led coalition is Canada's worst nightmare come true. Layton's wild promises simply cannot become reality without taxing the crap out of everyone and everything, especially when he wants no part of an economic engine like the Alberta oilsands. The NDP claim that tax cuts for corporations mean more dollars in the pockets of CEO's is simplistic and unrealistic. Has Layton never heard of dividends and retained earnings? The man is a far more dangerous menace than Ignatieff will ever be.

The best thing for this country would be for the GG to state that if a minority government is defeated, another election will be held forthwith. This process will continue ad nauseam until a majority government is achieved or the opposition decides to compromise and co-operate with a minority government. No coalitions permitted! Perhaps then the House of Commons could function properly without the opposition devoting all their energies to defeating the government.

biffjr

there is nothing in the constitution that prevents a coalition

and as to "opening the constitution" for reform, the USA up dates theirs about every 7 years, and ours is long over due

Another radically progressive misogynist. Well frizzle mah grits.

If Pat Martin were a Tory MP, remarks like this would be headline news for days at a time, until the guy resigned or was forced out of caucus. Even then, such remarks would be presented as proof positive of the woman-hating, scary philosophy of the Conservative Party in general. But because he's an avowed socialist, he gets a pass from the MSM. It now appears that the MSM can run interference for the NDP as well as they can for the Liberals.

"there is nothing in the constitution that prevents a coalition"

There is also nothing in the constitution preventing the GG from denying a coalition.

I live in Winnipeg-Centre, Pat Martin's riding. The NDP could run a convicted pedophile here and still win.

Posted by: Brent at April 26, 2011 11:22 AM

Unfortunately Brent is very correct on that statement.

Another riding in Wpg, Elmwood Transcona, is a similar lost cause, having elected Bill Blakie NDP repeatedly, till his return to Manitoba to double dip as an MLA in the Manitoba Legislature. His riding was then taken in a by-election by fellow dipper Jim Malloway.

Another NDP strong hold was Winnipeg North, which was held by Judy Wasylycia-Leis , who also tried to double dip, by resigning her seat, and taking a run as Mayor of Winnipeg, fortunately she showed her lack of substance in the campaign and lost to the incumbent Mayor Sam Katz. In the by-election to fill Winnipeg North, it was won by LPC candidate Kevin Lamoureux. But now to win it back, the NDP brought in Rebecca Blaikie, Bill's daughter, who lost in the last Federal Election, when she ran in a Quebec riding while she was a student there. Even though she is a relative (pun intended) neophyte, expect Winnipeg North to go back to NDP just because of her family name.

That was the topic of discussion on Andrew Coyne's blog when Coyne shut his blog down for months in 2004. Coyne left his Comments open for the weekend and went off to his cottage.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/praising-high-standard-of-conduct-joe-clark-backs-scott-brison/article1999163/

My guess is that Rage Martin is caught in a vicious cycle. My speculation is his first love likely dumped him for being an first class ah0le. So now Rage Martin is a little defensive when it comes to the Ladies. When he comes upon another lady that he may fancy, the ah0le in him always pops up and he gets dumped again. Each time he gets rejected the simmering rage increases a bit. Every now and then, when the opportunity presents itself.....being challenged by a women , etc..... the rage boils up and he blows.

It's either that or he is just an ah0le 24-7.

From Kim Calder:

"All candidates debate being held and put on by Gordon Bell High School (also being used for educational purposes by the school in the electoral process) 7pm.

It is now confirmed Pat Martin (NDP incumbant) will NOT be attending the event due to a fundraiser, instead the NDP have slotted Winnipeg South candidate Dave Gaudreau into Martin's place."

so what.

I had the occasion to actually send a follow up email to a local conservative inquiring the status of an earlier inquiry and got the very offensive and brusk response he wasn't interested in being my (quoting now) 'email buddy'.

I then proceeded to WALLPAPER his riding with hundreds of copies of said email with a suggestion that anyone voting for him deserved the same response.

he lost the last election by a couple hundred votes.

I then coyly suggested to his camp followers the loss was because of the printed email I put in all those mailboxes.

I think you're on to something here joe; seems to me ALL parties do that.

Just watched the CBC thing with Candace Hoeppner and the android Evan Solomon. Martin reminds me of a couple of men I've known at too-close quarters: Hysterical, abusive alcoholic bullies in both cases (obviously I know nothing about Martin's personal life; I'm just free-associating). Martin seems unable to control himself or behave in a rational or dignified manner. Maybe politics is just too stressful for him.

Speaking of respect. Layton respects PQ questions. But does he still respect the SC and the Clarity Act?

recent Inkless Wells twitter:

Rosemary Barton: @InklessPW agreed. I meant we did NOT get to Clarity today. We did consti and bill 101 stuff.

Rosemary Barton: @InklessPW it was a question from a listener. Wud u accept results. I can get exact phrasing if you want. We did get to Clarity in scrum.

Paul Wells: @RosieBarton For a few of us '95 referendum dead-enders, there is simply no question remotely as important in any election.

Paul Wells: Hey @RosieBarton, when you get a minute (I know, not easy) would appreciate full context of Layton's comments on "accepting" referendum vote

Paul Wells: RT @aradwanski: Is it just me, or is it a little depressing that the 'firewall' guy is the closest we have to a Captain Canada among our federal leaders?

Paul Wells: A prime minister needs to govern the whole country.

Paul Wells: I'll tell you straight, I think Stephen Harper has made a hash of 40 important policy files. But on Quebec secession I trust his instincts.

Paul Wells: Does Jack Layton still believe Clarity Act "has been broadly accepted across the spectrum as a basis for proceeding"? http://is.gd/PxaGl

Paul Wells: I'm sorry, but I take this stuff kind of seriously.

Paul Wells: No mention of constitutional requirements for provincial consent for the massive constitutional amendments that would be required.

Paul Wells: Jack Layton will "accept" result of a PQ referendum on secession. No mention of Supreme Court mandates regarding clarity of question, result

Paul Wells: RT @smithjoanna: Call-in Q: if you're in gov't & PQ in gov't, will you accept result of referendum on sovereignty? "La reponse est oui," Layton says #elxn41

Good thing Martin doesn't totally suppress his public antipathy for non leftist females. That
would be bad for his mental health. If he was a conservative with the same attitude towards
gays no doubt "research would be ongoing" to drum him out of politics at the first opportunity.

Actually that statement was made by GYM.

Memo to dummy Conservative ad team and messaging room.

The reason Jack Layton's ads have been so effective is that they went beyond pointing out his opponents' weaknesses.

He did that, sure, but followed up with another segment outlining what he would do.

That effectively painted a positive alternative.

You guys didn't and if you get smoked at the polls and the country becomes the People's Republic of Canada, it's all because you can't understand that people get p**sed off at not knowing what they're voting for.

“It seems incredible to even suggest that the most successful political party in the Western world – an electoral machine which held power for nearly 70 years in the 20th century – could be in terminal decline. Yet the same fate has befallen equally successful parties in other countries. The British Liberal Party was also the natural governing party in the second half of the 19th century and first two decades of the 20th. Yet after the First World War, radical voters shifted to Labour, leaving the Liberal Party as a rump that has never reclaimed its former glory – the decline and fall of which was chronicled in George Dangerfield’s famous book The Strange Death of Liberal England.”

More at the link….Meow Pfft Meow!

Naturally, Jack Layton will need a ground game on May 2 to turn sentiment into votes.

The Conservatives have demonstrated and effective ‘ground game’ from sea to sea, over the last 3 election cycles. I expect that moving down to the wire, all hands will be on deck.

I wonder why he got divorced?

I cannot excuse the conservatives spending election money improperly if that in fact happened. BUT, what makes me crazy is seeing that arrogant bugger Ralph sit there as if he's never been involved in anything slightly shady. I remember well the roll he played in ADSCAM, as well as the lead roll he played in the INCOME TRUST affair. I will forever believe that Ralph was helping certain individuals with providing them on info ahead of the markets. What I don't get is how Regina voters keep electing that BOZO year after year.

OT

I say "bring it" if Jack wants to open the Constitution. My number one political wish is the EEE Senate. That, and only that will assuage my feelings of Western Alienation.

That said, JL is talking pure BS. It's one thing to say "re-open" the Constitution and it's another thing completely to "open" the Constitution. Unless of course, Jack has a plan to put the world and it's problems on 'Hold'.

Hopefully after the election he is just another insignificant piece of dog sh*t on the sidewalk.

Coalition government is a "disoriented government"

Now that Duceppe has enlisted the help of Jacques Parizeau, former head of the PQ in Quebec, and has become involved in this election campaign, obviously he smells blood, Canadians must be reminded of his enlightening previous comments, in regards to a coalition in Ottawa.

“A weaker govt in Ottawa is eminently satisfying. The image must be one of a weak, disoriented govt which will become weaker and more disoriented in the future. This is perfect”

how Jack wins votes with Pat Martin

Can't see how the escape of Taliban prisoners is a setback for Jack, he may need to replace a few of his MPs if this story is any indication.

Has this made any of the msm news??

I did not know Pat Martin recently divorced, I wonder what Province the papers were filed in

Any SDA readers know how to find them in BC or MB?

Pat Martin has exposed himself time and time again as unfit for political office. Martin is a colossal A-Hole and a bully, and like all bullies he's a coward! I've noticed that Martin's bullying rage is always directed towards woman, which to me suggests some kind of pathological inferiority complex, or wife beater mentality. A truly pathetic, angry man that gets a free ride from the MSM. Martins over the top raging antics in the HOC and the committee rooms are a disgrace, and illustrate the stifling, polarizing effect one person can have within the political sphere. Stick to bullying woman Pat, you're good at it, but then I suspect you've had a lot of experience with that type of bullying cowardice. Having said that, the woman I've witnessed Martin bullying have handled it well, and show a great deal of restraint and intelligence.

Pat Martin is representative of the angry vitriol venom spewing cobras that comprise left in this country. If you think he is unique then take a 15 minute gander at the CBC or Globe and Mail comment board.

"I live in Winnipeg-Centre, Pat Martin's riding. The NDP could run a convicted pedophile here and still win."

I thought they were.

The unanswered question is: 'does Patty boyz Martin have a restraining order on him (maybe from his ex-wife)? Pat threatened the lady who asked the question - 'I will put out a restraining order on you' Pat said to his questioner. Pat should be cooling his sorry hide in a jailhouse. Intimidation...Where are the feministas and the Human Right pipples?

Bring on the Layton led coalition and soooo long suckers! You wanna see a firewall go up in a hurray? The ROC better remember we are having our very own election in the very near future, bring on the Wild Rose!

I, too, would be happy to see a "re-opening of the Constitution" if it meant being able to ditch the Charter. Sterling Lyon of Manitoba and J. Angus MacLean of PEI warned of what the Charter might bring to Canada, and both were ridiculed at the time. It seems to me that they were both quite prescient.

It's pretty clear that Martin's using female Conservative MPs as proxies for his ex-wife. 'Can't get at her, so he substitutes Kelly, Bev, and Candace.

What a scumbag.

jus.gov.mb.ca

Never a mention of the divorce locally.

NO MSM coverage that I know of about this apology story today. Compare that with the Winnipeg Free Press' dogged pursuit of a certain Tory MP's marital discord a few years ago.

GYM:

and as to "opening the constitution" for reform, the USA up dates theirs about every 7 years, and ours is long over due

Not at all true. The last revision to the US constitution was in 1992, almost 20 years ago (ironically, an amendment first proposed in 1789, that changes to elected officials' salaries don't take effect until after the next election); the previous one (lowering voting age to 18) was in 1971. That's two amendments in 40 years.

Thanks for playing.

I'd like to see Martin try that on Shelly Glover....

I'd like to buy Pat a drink.

No, make that a few drinks.
This guy must be a blast at a bar. The kind of blast that requires handcuffs.

Cheers Pat!

Does Pat have access to firearms? I hope not.

Just checked out Pat Martin's background info and sure enough -- like many in the NDP -- he was a union activist. In my experience, many union leaders are angry, hostile individuals who use their involvement in the unions as a way to vent their hostility and express their anti-social instincts. There is really something borderline psychotic about many of them. I think it is a personality disorder. This is a stereotype, I know, but lots in the NDP fit this profile. Pat Martin for sure.

Hoeppner seemed to be enjoying herself, though. It must feel good to see your opponent light himself on fire and destroy himself in front of so many people. Even Goodale looked embarrassed. On the other hand, Martin should be grateful so few Canadians watch CBC nowadays.

LindaL: "There is really something borderline psychotic about many of them. I think it is a personality disorder. This is a stereotype, I know, but lots in the NDP fit this profile. Pat Martin for sure."

So, can you imagine them in Stornoway or, worst case scenario, at 24 Sussex Drive if the Coalition coup takes place? I shudder. My husband said, "We'll have to leave Canada," and I said, "Yeah, but where to?" There're no hills left ...

Olivia and Jack in 24 Sussex = Michelle and Barak in the White House and then the world will be totally run by crazy people.
