I know we're trying to stay positive, but how about some anti-Tory attack ads starring Andre Arthur?

When the Supreme Court calls you racist when they make a decision in your favour, something's wrong.

Bob and Ujjal, thanks so very much for taking the time to remind everyone you're Liberals now.
This was supposed to help them?
Ujjal is whinny sore loser, cry baby. Here is what he said in 2008 to endear himself to NDP voters. Eat those words asshole, clearly your political analysis is really out of date and obsolete my baby, my poor forgotten baby. Baby, baby your parties out of time.
"I can confirm that they have advised me there will be a recount," Dosanjh said Thursday.
He declined to comment any further on the closeness of the vote but let loose in his election night speech and in interviews the day after.
Dosajh blamed NDP Leader Jack Layton for splitting the left-of-centre vote and giving Canadians another Conservative government.
The Liberals, he said, obviously bled votes to the Greens and NDP to no purpose.
"(The) NDP's irrelevant insofar as the federal scene is concerned except insofar as they have the ability by splitting the vote to effectively elect a Conservative government, which they've done twice," he said Wednesday.
He criticized Layton's "pretension to the throne," campaigning as if he could become prime minister when the NDP "didn't have that kind of support."
"If you say you're applying for the job of prime minister and you gain less than one point nationally in the polls, what does that say? Everyone recognizes that was simply a delusional Jack Layton".
Dosanjh also said he did not know what were the plans of Liberal Leader Stephane Dion.
"I don't know what Mr. Dion's plans are. He's said he's staying and I take him at face value if that's the case. There is a review coming up in May and that would be the opportunity for the party to deal with this issue."

"the NDP is a natural habitat for someone like me"

Lay-off Uji, everyone in BC (at least) knows he has no credibility left. The whole province took the boots to him in 2001 and reduced the NDP to 2/79 seats. The whole BC NDP campaign was run on Ujjal's image. Uji is not liked or loved, he's just there.
Is Harper the best person to manage the economic recovery?
I'm puzzled that the Harper Conservatives' are getting such a free ride from the other parties and from the media on their main campaign mantra: that they are the best economic managers, that Canada is leading the international pack to economic recovery, and that Harper knows best what's good for jobs and the economy going forward.Let's look more closely at the Harper record, beginning with his response in the fall of 2008 to the recession that engulfed the world, the deepest since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In October 2008, the Harper government ordered a massive infusion of liquidity to protect the banks. However, incredulously, Harper's economic and fiscal statement the following month completely denied the reality of Canada's descent into recession. It blithely projected budget surpluses going forward three years. (In fact, the deficit ballooned to $55 billion in 2009.)
Harper's economic statement signaled his plans for $4.5 billion worth of public spending cuts on 2009 alone-measures that would have made the recession even worse. It included a plan for major cuts to civil service wages and equalization payments to the provinces, and no new infrastructure investment.
It took the prospect of his government going down to defeat for Harper to reverse himself and bring forward a credible fiscal stimulus program of his own two months later.
