Progressives vs The Liberal Party of Canada
Now that the Progressives vs Kennedy thread is closed we can continue the discussion here.
BA made an interesting observation in the previous thread about some so-called progressives voting for anti-progressive legislation.
That is why it is so important to look at someones voting record
Here is a resourse for political accountability which is very useful and can cut through the lies and deceit
For example here is Kennedys voting record:

Now the trick is IMHO, to explain that to the average voter...
What a shame.
Any LPC member who has any connection to Paul Martin should be cut loose.
Chrétien Liberals had plan for fast rail: report
$2.6-billion project for fleet of intercity trains cancelled by Martin government, ex-VIA boss said
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Chr%C3%A9tien+Liberals+plan+fast+rail+...
Not to mention Martin axed the billion dollar telecom infratructure for canada-wide broadband that Tobin wanted. Sited in part to his leaving federal politics. Maybe one of the few libs I like.
