Mulcair didn't take the fkn low road monty1. he was the one and only leader who stood firm against the racism over the niqab.
why are you being a lying liar?
I realize you don't like monty1 (or Justin Trudeau), but surely you are not forgetting that Justin Trudeau spoke out against the niqab racism just as much (if not more so) than Mulcair?
Both Mulcair and Trudeau said basically the same things on this. The reason that this hurt the NDP and not the Liberals was that the Liberals were not competing with the BQ and the NDP were. The loss of suppport for the NDP gave the Liberals an extra boost so ironically the same position helped Trudeau that hurt the NDP.
On this issue the two parties and leaders were not substantially different.
That's how it works in politics Sean. The winner gets all the marbles. But for Trudeau he was speaking from the heart against racism. And for Mulcair, he was probably speaking from the heart against recism too, even though your word leave doubt on what he would do if he didn't have the Quebec vote to win. Do you really think that Mulcair would have turned turtle on the issue if it wasn't for Quebec?
