Outremont
In all the Liberal Party hand-wringing over the by-election in Outremont, have any of the movers and shakers considered the possibility that voters simply prefer the NDP candidate, Thomas Mulcair?
Please read this ridiculous bit of hysteria from TheChronicleHerald.ca:
I mean, really - if you're going to suspect someone of sabotaging Dion, I'd suspect a New Conservative first, an NDPer second, a failed Liberal leadership candidate third.
And lest Liberals second guess themselves too much, Dion was your best bet - by far. But maybe, just maybe, it's Jack Layton's and the NDP's turn for a kick at the Federal can. Besides, what do you guys care if Layton becomes Prime Minister? The NDP had all your best ideas first and none of your crooked weasly bad ones that finally did you in with voters, anyways.
Surely Stephane Dion would be pleased as punch to have an NDP Prime Minister. Afterall, the NDP had a sound environmental policy long before anybody else on the Federal horizon. Afghanistan? We'd be out of there on time, if not well before. The Bloc would certainly have nothing to complain about with an NDP Federal government - heck, it might just as well give it up and stop fielding candidates like it said it would if it lost the referendum - which it did.
You know, I think Stephen Harper and his New Conservatives would do well to have an NDP Prime Minister, too. We all would.
But read how these hysterics refer to the NDP:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Liberals are alarmed at the prospect of the NDP winning the seat.
"Our concern is that if they get a riding in Montreal, then there's a risk that they're like a cancer" and will spread, said one senior party official.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, senior party official - SooeySays: "Go fuck yourself and yo mama".
Meanwhile, here's the real reason why everybody's so afraid of an NDP win:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And if the NDP wins the traditionally Liberal riding of Outremont, it may make Liberals hesitant to vote to bring down the government.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah. That sounds more like the Liberals we all know and loathe. Gawd. If I were Stephane Dion? I'd switch parties and run under the NDP banner - leave that desperate machiavellian bunch of smarmy power brokers behind to machinate themselves into oblivion.
