Yesterday, it was the disappearance of Paul Martin and the word “Liberal” from campaign literature and signage, a development that I joked was soon to be followed by dropping the colour red in favour of blue.
Man, when you can’t run with the colour red in Etobicoke Centre….
You have the right to choose your government
In your cities
With ballots
In Canada
We are not making this up!
Here’s a challenge – find the word “Liberal” or a Liberal symbol! (Liberal was plastered all over it two weeks ago.)

I like how a context-less “thank you” from December 2004 is used to prove a January 2006 “rally”.
Peter Goldring was probably looking for the washroom.
Chris,
That’s her constituency website. The campaign one is at votebelinda.ca.
Oh. Doh.
I was wrong.
Damn, it’s gotta happen once in a while.
lol
Okay, I officially apologize, Ms. Stronach.
Her official one is tasterful and her political website is political, as it should be.
The Kramp and Goldring comments on that literature is absolutely hilarious. Those words don’t sound to me like they’re rallying behind the guy.
I thought folks might like to read the blog of one of Canada’s finest and a great representative of our military, who is part of the current cadre of troops going to Afghanistan. He is obviously a reader of SDA.
I and all Canadians are proud of our armed forces and I am sure we all wish Dave and all our troops good luck on their assignments and a safe return to Canada and their families.

I�m a 37-year old Canadian Army officer from British Columbia. I�ve been in the Regular and Reserve forces since 1987 and have served operationally in Africa and across Canada.
I am a member of the Kandahar Province PRT. The PRT is a joint military/civilian organization whose job is to promote security, good governance, and reconstruction throughout the province. We support the government of President Hamid Karzai and everywhere attempt to buttress its authority by �putting an Afghan face on every solution�.
My job is, among other things, is to coordinate our activities with all the other civilian and military �players�. Oddly enough, I basically fell into this job – but it is a job for which my recent experience has set me up well.
How�s it going? Read on�”

Etobicoke Lakeshore’s campaign is funny too. Ignatieff’s flyer talks about how he will “save politics” but never mentions the words “Paul Martin”. Not once.
Looks like the Liberals are re-branding on the fly – just like the rest of their platform… 🙂
Somewhat OT… FYI, FWIW:
mailing
$250 energy rebate cheques to prison inmates
In the words of this correctional officer: “I work to July to hand over all my
money to the taxman, and today I gave convicted criminals a rebate cheque. It’s
all wrong. It’s time we stood up and said enough is
enough.”
Borys W. is a good man, and I know that he’s popular with Conservative MPs. He’s also close to the Ignatieff riding Liberal president that just jumped to the Conservatives. I noted that he had not updated his website since early November, and suspected that he was unhappy witht hte Libranos: I received a Christmas card from him (I have only met him for a few minutes- it was not a personalized card) and I recall that it actually said “Merry Christmas”, it referred to God, and had no Liberal identifiers. I also think that he has a has a strong aversion to the colour red.
“Thank you for your guidance and assistance.”
That’s the best quote they could find?
On the way to church (can I say that here, any multicultural agents reading this?) I just saw the NW Calgary Liberal (S. Pollack) candidate croquet flag signs all over the place.
Maybe it’s just me ignoring them, but I didn’t notice anywhere the word “Liberal”. It is still red though. Her old big one with Liberal Party of Canada either got shot down, or ran over, here in Scenic Acres NW.
And they say we don’t have tolerance in Alberta…although I had to fight with my car to keep it on the road instead of running them over, like pylons in an obstacle course…
cheers
