*Wednesday, November 9, 2005 The NDP’s Common Sense Solution: No holiday vote, judge Liberal inaction and record after New Year Parliament is at an impasse. Unlike the spring, when Liberals enacted some good NDP ideas to get things done for people, this fall they said no to protecting public medicare from privatization.* The NDP can’t express confidence in a government that’s not getting things done for people and can’t condone the Liberal record on ethics. Jack Layton today proposed a common sense solution to the Parliamentary impasse, proposing the NDP set the timing of the upcoming election via our November 24 motion. This would allow key events such as the First Ministers’ Meeting on Aboriginal people and avoid a holiday election. The NDP’s common sense solution would also provide the needed opportunity to judge the Liberal record on issues and ethics, and get politics back to what it should be about: Getting things done for people. The NDP’s common-sense motion will: >place the start of an election campaign soon after the holidays, likely early January for a mid-February vote; >enable the upcoming First Ministers Meeting on Aboriginal Issues to proceed outside of an election campaign, and pass legislation currently on the order paper; >allow Canadians to see Justice Gomery’s second report before they vote; and >provide an opportunity to judge the scandal sooner rather than later so politics can be about what can get done. And after Justice Gomery's indictment of the Liberal Party, this government doesn't deserve to set the time of when it will be judged. It has not earned the right to court voters again with their own tax dollars — this isn’t an unaccountable majority and compromise is required on all sides. carry on my peeps
I like the ndp. i went campaiging for them last election, whee! basically I walked around with my friend and handed out pamphlets, it was fun
I hate liberals who pretend to be religious conservatives then raise taxes (for all but the rich, who get them lowered) and then spend 50% of our budget on the military...... hmm... wonder who I'm talking about....
pssst....i am tlaking capital "L" liberals just in case you didnt know...the conservatives here are sucky too, and their leader looks like an allien/boy scout
hah, I just remembered the canadian alliance guy and his classy ass speedo. god, that was an awful party. are they even still around? I wish the ndp had gotten more seats this year. I'm suprised our ndp chicka didn't get it.... she's a farmer, a mother, goes to church, teaches at the unversity (but through the christian school/subcollege/something), she was head of some farmers federation a couple years ago.... she shoulda gotten in, she was tres cool
liberals (democrats, anyway... as liberal as you'll find in this country) are for complete control of the states (ideally)... basically they want the states to have no powers and to follow the rules that they see fit.... pretty much pissing on the constitution as much as the neocons. go conservatives.* *big difference between neo-cons and conservatives.
liberatarians...... or liberatarianism with current taxes, socialized medicine, good schools, and a reasonable military.....
are you talking about Stockwell Day? and when he showed up to that press conference on that jet-ski? ahha cause his WIFE told him to the CA aren't around anymore, they joined with the PC's to form the Conservatives a couple years back, and thats when Stephen Harper came into the picture... it sucks that your NDPer didnt get in, i odon't think an NDP will ever get elected from around here--yay oilberta
