The "cool Canada" Liberals might have been without a soul, but they were at least tolerable. Currently, I can not think of single Liberal policy that would push me to lift a finger for the party. <br /><br />I am with Steve. I too do not much care for 1993-2005 version of the Liberals and while this would not matter a lick if the rest of population felt otherwise, the truth is very few Canadians would describe these governments in glowing terms. Furthermore, to pretend that the electorial success that the Liberals enjoyed in Ontario during these years was anything other than an anomaly is wrong.Kobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407275645274060038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-10572169328078792442009-10-28T18:37:47.575-04:002009-10-28T18:37:47.575-04:00Well, the NDP and Con strategists, i.e. Ann McGrat...Well, the NDP and Con strategists, i.e. Ann McGrath and Tim Powers are in full criticize mode - they must be worried.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-90621720055139387562009-10-28T16:58:48.699-04:002009-10-28T16:58:48.699-04:00There is also no reason why Ian Davey should be de...There is also no reason why Ian Davey should be defined by his father's Rainmaker Days either, he should free himself of his father's legacy and get his own life. St. Paul says something about seeding churches, wherein he seeds them and somebody else nurtures them.

And what about Kinsella? Another glory day holdover who seems to grate on as many Liberals as he does Conservatives.
