They're not waiting for the politicians, they're going to come up with a list of their demands.<br />The blogosphere is like tepid tea compared to the work going on over there. It's like thinking in a river of human thought, and come Jan 23rd that river will be on the streets, and after that it will grow into something this country has never seen before, all through the Olympics, and the return to politics. Substantive change will be on the books, and the Libs will either support it, or get lost in the flood.Jerry Pragerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054428435443042500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-55690892809013856772010-01-12T01:23:23.151-05:002010-01-12T01:23:23.151-05:00I totally agree with you.

Also shows the grits are past Adscam and want to ensure it never happens again.<br /><br />Might I throw in copying the Ont Libs strong new guidelines for government advertising that were put in place after the shameless self-promotion circus of the Harris/Eves regime.

Just watched that CBC P&P clip where Tom Flanagan said everyone knows Harper prorogued to avoid the Afghan questioning, that no one believes the PMO's talking points anymore, and that he hopes no one thinks he's a Harper stooge. I was expecting everything to go black & white and for Rod Serling to pop out from the side.<br /><br />Steve, you are bang on here. If the Liberals quickly offer a few substantive alternatives, that could very well finish off Harper.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.com
