@rebecca west:
Ok, I will desist. But I have to say I have had a stomach full of the kind of things that the Libs say to try and sway opinion.
I am 53 and am watching Iggy use the old tricks. Talk left, fear the Tories, vote for us, we're nice guys. Then what happens? Cuts to EI, cuts to the size of the civil service, NAFTA, etc.
Ok, I will desist, but I will say that I don't honestly respect the Liberal party at all. It is corporatist, and opportunist.
There, said my piece.

PS. One other thing, I served 20 plus years in the Navy. I didn't spend that time protecting national soverignty so that we could be governed by parties that differ only in name, but seem perfectly comfortable moving us closer and closed to the American corporate interest. I hate the idea that after all that time in service, that I may have been kidding myself. I hate to think that I may actually have wasted most productive years for nothing.
Can't help it, just makes me feel strongly about the rightousness of my position, and the rightousness of Social Democracy as embodied in the NDP as the exclusive, and only party capable of protecting and nuturing the Canadian National Interest on the part of all of the citizenary.
I am not trying to deflect your direction, but frankly, my military experience reflects why I chose to spend my life as I did and why i feel so strongly about how things appear to going. To say that it is troubling, is not underestimate.
