    “The National Pharmaceutical Strategy: a ‘prescription unfilled'”
    “Before we get to what the parties are saying, it helps to understand what this national strategy entails, at least as it was envisioned when the federal, provincial and territorial governments signed a 10-year health accord in 2004 that was supposed to be a “fix for a generation.”

    “The accord, signed on Sept. 16, 2004 under then prime minister Paul Martin and the first ministers, set out an extra $41.2-billion over 10 years in dedicated funding for health care issues such as reducing wait times, training medical professionals and expanding home care and a national pharmaceutical strategy.”

  3. I think what we are seeing here is the death of the Liberals and the rebirth on the NDP. We are about to go through what the US is going through. Politics will be polarized. On one hand you will have government unions and race baiters and on the other hand working people and businesses. The takers vs the makers. There is no squishy middle ground for the Liberals to occupy anymore. There is no money left for them to squander.

  4. “Democratic leaders do not whip votes”

    Nor do they impose draconian gun legislation on a free and law abiding people.


    The Liberals fight for the rights of criminals and criminalize the victims.

    You got that right. Cretian whipped the vote to ram the long-gun registry and search and seizure down the throats of law abiding Canadians.
    Iggy is continuing that reprehensible tradition.

  5. LOL! These SDA threads are a laugh a minute these days. This has got to be the best election campaign entertainment I’ve had EVAH!!

  6. I was in Toronto’s Chinatown this afternoon and saw more Conservative signs in the business windows than Olivia Chow’s.
    I’m hoping Chinatown’s business leaders are on the CPC side now because of the Tories supporting the business owner in the incident with the returned shoplifter being held by the owner until the cops arrived to arrest the shoplifter and went after the owner too.
    BTW, there’s a strip of public land near my house where the Green and NDP signs haven’t been touched but the CPC ones have been knocked down. I expect the MSM to be reporting on it any minute now.

    I will say what ever i feel like and i felt like saying that ….why? look at the mess we are in …of course i am not serious about “slaughtering” anyone you moron….buti am serious about splitting canada if the cons do not get the confidence of the house then the govorner general will appoint the opposition and at that point i will be pushing for a break up of canada …do i want any part of that no i want this country to be as solid and strong and free as possible but if our govornment get’s formed by one person i will absolutley want to separate i am sooo tired of this garbage pile of a govornment .
    Harper is the best i have ever known yet the cbc and all the rest will have you think different and i respect there bias but i am being forced to pay for it at least now i have an option but that was not without a bitter fight ……I would heart broken if canada were to ever split up for any reason but at some point you need to ask yourself Am i willing to have my kids there kids so on and so forth keep paying for the “country of quebec”? and the likes i say if your province sink’s iti s anexed by the province that can afford it and all of it’s law’s and policies are changed to match that of the purchaser and if you are a purchaser or a producing or a “have” province you get to decide your rules in your province while using a common sence aproach to the federal law’s whne it comes to disagreement’s between the province and the feds …anyway i know i left some bait for the trolls but they can go pound sand if they want o take my comment’s out of context they can buti will prove them wrong and the truth will set me free!!
    lol.

  8. Simply Devine: a sad tale.
    It was a dark and stormy night, and Tall Jack Cane had just entered the polling booth, when to his left, Iggy and Lizzie, arms locked, jettisoned their frantics and ……
    …-
    “Tale of a frustrated Liberal
    By the time the rally wound down, Patti Devine was frantic.
    The long-time Liberal attended the party’s event yesterday in Summerside, P.E.I. because she wanted to see Michael Ignatieff in person and “to see how passionate he really is.”
    Devine says she liked what she saw, especially how the Liberal leader tailored his speech to Prince Edward Island with examples about the Tignish fish plant and federal breakwater at Stanley Bridge.
    But the self-described political junkie says she’s still flabbergasted. “I don’t know really what’s going on. I don’t know why the national polls are not reflecting this enthusiasm from Liberals.”
    Devine says it might not be good for her health but she can’t tear herself away from poll data suggesting a virtual tie for second place between the NDP and Liberals.
    “I guess it’s the Quebec numbers that are putting the NDP up so high. The NDP it’s like a utopia, right? I mean yes, I think they’re an important voice to have but it’s not realistic. We have to pay for what we’re going to do.”
    As for what she feels Ignatieff has to do in the last week of this campaign, Devine raises her arms in a sort of “who knows?” kind of gesture.
    She suggests he should do more townhall events where people meet him face-to-face. “I don’t know what more he can do.”
    As for Devine, she says she’s looking forward to when she can focus on something else.”

    I respect your opinion about my opinion but don’t ask me to refrain becasue it will only encourage me to spew lefty type vitrol with a conservative twist get it ?
    And i so would love to finish of what the british left behind but that is wrong and well unfair so we will just have to live with the french people i alway’s think of french people like baby robin’s in then est who wait for momma to come home and puke food into there gaping mouth’s the only difference is that the robins grow up and eventually leave the nest and learn to provide for themselves.

  10. “I was in Toronto’s Chinatown this afternoon and saw more Conservative signs in the business windows than Olivia Chow’s.”
    Most of them came here to escape Chinese Communists. Why would the vote for one?

  11. Jack and Gilles went to Parliament hill
    To join Iggy the Liberal squatter
    They got quite a scare, ‘cause Harper was there
    Cried Iggy “I’m going back to my Alma Mater!”

  12. “Battle therefore … is essentially a moral conflict. It requires … a mutual and sustained act of will by two contending parties and, if it is to result in a decision, the moral collapse of one of them” ~ John Keegan
    What we have witnessed is the moral collapse of one party. Sauve Qui Puet!!

  13. PET Cemetery Report.
    Here is the hand of traitorous Liberal infamy; Liberal Ignatieff to the Asian Sikhs:
    >>> “You have built this great country and we have built it together side by side.”
    “Sikhs have been here for 100 years or more,” Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff told thousands of people celebrating the holiday. “You have built this great country and we have built it together side by side.”

    This is the traitorous Liberal Count Ignatieff and his other brother.
    Down with the socialist Separatist Coalition.
    A Conservative majority government is absolutely necessary to preserve Canada from the traitorous socialists of the Separatist Coalition.
    Vote Conservative.
    Stand with PM Harper.

    The key to the Chinese vote is lower taxes.
    That’s why Harper needs to get to Vancouver this week.
    The whole Liberal multicultural rainbow society shtick only goes so far with the Chinese. Even less than their propensity to vote for any party bathed in lucky RED. Never step between a Chinese mama bear and her dough, which was why the new HST ain’t going over so well.

  15. Iffy watched that Seinfeld episode last night after the hockey game where George did the opposite that he would usually do. That is the only explanation where he would relegate himself to third place. Of course it worked for George but we are talking politics and voting day will be ugly for the liberals now.

  16. I predicted a minority Tory government back when smalldeadanimals put up the prediction page.
    I think I was horribly wrong.
    This campaign is probably going to be historical in a 1993 level way.
    Vote splitting, weak Liberals, weird Quebec voting patterns, united right….
    Something massive one way or another is about to happen next week.

  17. Ignatieff has flip-flopped on everything including his marriage vows. What he says should not even be considered news until he proffers the opposite opinion – then we can take the average.

  19. Let’s see: two parties that want to spread my middle class “wealth” to the point that it would make more sense to go on welfare, a party that wants to break up Canada, but keep their Canadian pensions, and a bunch of tree huggers. I’ll stick with Mr. Harper, thank you. Not perfect but by far the best option for our nation.

  20. These people are willing to work for him, but who are they?
    http://www.avaaz.org/ca/
    All I can find is they are a creation of moveon.org and Res Publica.
    I suppose Mr Ignatieff can be forgiven for wanting to work with his fellow Americans, but this is odd

  21. I think the Iffy campaign is being run by the Marx brothers.
    The only time Iffy didn’t listen is when Groucho advised, “I refuse to belong to any organization that will allow guys like me as a member.”

  22. Bob Rae is looking pretty smug in that photo-op with Iggy trying his best to be brave.
    Bob the undertaker…that’s right…just biding his time,waiting for the building blocks of his/the new party to fall neatly into place.
    You see Bob’s got everything to smile about ’cause it doesn’t matter what Iggy says…he’s not in charge,… he’s just the over emotional easily plied frontman for the ‘power-ful’ back room cabal who at this time,don’t give a jacks**t which one of their flunkies wins/appear to run the show.
    I think Bob Rae at this time is beyond wanting to front the ‘party’…that’s not where the power is any more.
    Expect to see him after the the smoke clears and the mess is cleaned up and a united-left-under-one-banner party emerges.
    In their world anyone is expendable who can’t stay ahead of the wave.Clearly Iggy cannot… but he’s useful right now.
    I believe that the most interesting part of this power grab will be the election results and should the CPC win a majority they had better dilligently watch their backs.

  23. Paul in Calgary, we all know what you mean, and we are all sick of sending Quebec, BILLIONS of dollars from the hard work of Albertans working in the evil OILSANDS/Agriculture and whatever else we bust our asses every-day to send east. Remember, a lot of the workforce here in Alberta came from the east, they are helping and we will prevail, Harper will get 195 to 197, I said it before and I will say it again. Canadians want to work, contribute and have a safe criminal free place to raise their families, with lieberals stuffed into the closets of history, we will have taken care of theives to start.

  24. HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK…
    1. Open a new file in your computer.
    2. Name it “Michael Ignatieff”.
    3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
    4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
    5. Your PC will ask you: ‘Do you really want to get rid of “Michael Ignatieff?”
    6. Firmly click ‘Yes.’
    7. Feel better?
    GOOD!——-Tomorrow we’ll do “Jack Layton”, and the next day we’ll do “Gilles Duceppe”
    In celebration of any coalition signing, KFC will be issuing a Coalition Bucket.
    No salad, no fries, just left wings.

  25. “In celebration of any coalition signing, KFC will be issuing a Coalition Bucket.
    No salad, no fries, just left wings.”
    Back in the day here in Sask., KFC used to offer the NDP bucket consisting only of left wings and a**holes.

  26. inflation , for Iggy would have sold out democracy for 30 pieces of silver now costs us $300 million.
    get behind me Iggy.
