The results of the last election could be an indication that we are seeing a change in that attitude. Then again it could very well have been just the Jack Layton effect.<br /><br />We will know more in four years.ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-82925302015359502382012-01-10T13:19:42.795-05:002012-01-10T13:19:42.795-05:00Tough crowd ;)Tough crowd ;)Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-62958399437239786752012-01-10T13:10:13.163-05:002012-01-10T13:10:13.163-05:00And in Canada, it's rumour not rumor.

Especially since she made a public endorsement for Mulcair.) <br /><br />But I suppose this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Some NDP MPs don't appear to be hardcore politicians/party members.sharonapple88https://www.blogger.com/profile/11149226422042041129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-11287400224774315672012-01-10T12:22:34.024-05:002012-01-10T12:22:34.024-05:00Star story quotes St. Denis saying she was "i...Star story quotes St. Denis saying she was "impressed by the Liberals' 'sense of duty' to the country." The possibility of responsible gov't. by the LIberals should impress any Canadian with a brain in his/her head. <br />What other party can lay claim to that 'sense of duty' ? Certainly not the NDP, who brought us Harper as PM from day one. As for the Cons, it is to laugh.farwestiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157409737418287619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-77841811737640025412012-01-10T12:16:52.811-05:002012-01-10T12:16:52.811-05:00Feed the narrative, feed the narrative.Feed the narrative, feed the narrative.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-42128736698888862292012-01-10T12:13:05.384-05:002012-01-10T12:13:05.384-05:00Kinsella's been hi-lighting McParland's ed...Kinsella's been hi-lighting McParland's editorials in the National Pest as of late. <br />Have to concur -- he's right. <br />McParland hits another one out of the park here:<br /><br /><a href="http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/01/10/kelly-mcparland-lise-st-denis-pokes-another-pin-in-deflating-ndp-bubble/" rel="nofollow">Full Comment: Lise St-Denis pokes another pin in deflating NDP bubble</a>Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.com
