i think jack layton can be inarticulate and silly, but i still vote ndp because i agree with most of their policies: lower tuition, combat global poverty, build schools and hospitals. oh, and do something nice for the environment. i'd rather a leader who was inarticulate about great things than a leader who eloquently defended tax breaks and "an end to cronyism." also, i was born and raised leftist. can't argue with that!jack layton's wife and toronto city councillor olivia chow, is taking another run at trinity-spadina. last i heard, tony ianno needs to go. after thirteen years in parliament, wouldn't you need a break? so, if you live there (which is unlikely), vote chow. with university being in session for this election, the 18-24 crowd might tip the scales toward ndp. yaaaay! because one seat in parliament can change the world!
also, because this isn't just about the liberals, check out rick mercer's take on stephen harper's approach to campaigning. note: not rated pg!
henri bourassa: to govern is to have the courage, at a given moment, to risk defeat in order to maintain a principle.
wilfred laurier (then prime minister): ah my dear young friend, you have not a practical mind.
a few days later, bourassa announced his resignation from the liberal party.

I have a big problem with any party that tries to ban the Bible in Canada as hate literature. Not cool.
The days of noble 'Tommy Douglas style NDP' have passed and we are left with the dictatorial charm of Jack Layton. You would be better off casting your vote with the green. They at least are democratic...
I've been debating back and forth between NDP and Liberal. Living in Edmonton now, there is a much higher chance of not have the PC take the seat.
Good old politics.
How are YOU right now?
