Have the Liberals elected Conan O'Brien in Brampton West? I thought I'd have heard about that!

The only one of these that I even remotely expect to see anything really positive from is Oliphant, since he's a gay United Church minister with a half-decent record of social justice work.

Though I do realize that I'm likely to be disappointed...after all, he's a Liberal! [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]

The Liberals could have done a lot worse than Frank Valeriote in Guelph. From a brief meeting with him and intelligence from my sources in Guelph, I think he's fundamentally a decent guy. Also, as he repeatedly talked about the need for progressive voters to stop Harper's agenda, I think he also might be open to becoming another rare Liberal MP that supports PR.

If I count this right from the photos posted here the Liberals have 6 women out of the 13 newly elected and the NDP got 4 women out of there 12 newly elected.

Anyone got any stats on how many of the news Cons and Bloc are female.

You can't tell unless you unzip their pants, or unless you verify any J. Edgar Hoover tendencies, I suppose

That was completely unnecessary and I think rather insulting to many of us.

I am quite often disappointed by those of you on the left. You talk a good game, but you are less progressive then those on the right!

1) this is an online forum, all that happens here is talk.

2) what about adma being flippant makes the left un-progressive???

3) even if adma's comment was enough to somehow throw the left's claim to "progressiveness" out the window; why does that make the right more progressive???

I've obviously missed something! [img]tongue.gif" border="0[/img]

Actually, Bonnie Brown was pretty good. She was quite anti-war.
