Well... Stephane Dion's is. Done deal.

Hehehe... how very Canuck to not start a new thread after the election. Perhaps it is time... who's it gonna be? The new leader, I mean.

Shane has been saying for years that Don Cherry oughta be the prime minister! He would bring a whole new sensibility to the office. ;-)

I think he'd pretty well have to head up the Conservatives, though, not any of the other parties.

Because of his snappy fashion sense? That's very conservative.

Would add a whole new concept to clearing the benches.

This is an old thread. But, at least there was room for logic in this one (versus the current thread that is up).

I brought gnu's interesting old debate back as the issues in this article will likely continue stong into 2012 as the Liberals are "waiting for a miracle" - (no disrespect to anyone else also seeking for change on specific issues or even a whole bunch of them).


If you wish a spot to participate "go for it" - if not, it will just move down.


That was then, this is now

Trudaeu has three years to prove himself. Even if he actually could (at least grant me that THAT is a longshot), Harper is adept at the game and big business is everything ALTHOUGH if Trudeau can tap the hearts of Canucks rather than the wallets of the rich and middle class, he will win... because he has two things in his favour already. First, Canucks may simply wish a change. Second, Harper is a piece of shit that doesn't care about any Canuck who isn't rich.

There is my insightful, astute and in depth analysis. I hope the fucker gets run over by a bus. in one of the new ridings in The Big Smoke.

Regardless of what how you view the individual, gnu, Harper has seemed to be a good political strategist, with his administration covering so many bases - while those in opposition parties were asleep at the job. The question is have they "woken up" and is it "too little, too late"?

I suspect some forgot the impact of youth and the ever-changing mood brought forward by new Canadians (except in Atlantic Canada, that is). Also, the old statement on politics that - "the main concern ifs the economy, stupid", can't be ignored.


My observations are that concerns for the economy versus environment move up and down throughout periods. With recent global challenges, I suspect concerns for the economy are at the forefront - though experience is that this can change quickly and concern for the environment could move to the top. But, I suspect those governing have a back-up strategy for that possibility.
