… and that was his biggest failure for which I’ll never forgive him.

You know how smöl PP might be our next PM? (Polling is shifting towards LPC but it’s still quite possible)… had he actually gotten serious about MMP or PR the CPC’s extremist views wouldn’t stand a chance.

<sniff> yeah and that…

The irony will take the sting out if a Liberal-NDP split lets the Conservatives skate up the middle.

Could be worse you could live in the States or North Korea… It’s getting hard to tell the difference other that that the current firing squads are restricted to convinced criminals…

Their fall doesn’t excuse our shortcomings. We can do better.
