The difference is that Harper has a lock on a good 15-20% of the voters who will vote Conservative with almost any leader carrying the flag. The only constituency that is anywhere near as safe for the Liberals as the Con Alberta base may be English Quebec - a few Montreal/Ottawa area ridings. I don't see it as a shortcoming of Iggy that the Liberal identity is not as easy to define as flipping on Fox News.Offroad Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140085449827582909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-91446446397191481632010-11-06T09:06:18.985-07:002010-11-06T09:06:18.985-07:00Well Anon, since you asked, I'll be voting acc...Well Anon, since you asked, I'll be voting according to the issue I see as the most immediate and potentially destructive to my Canada, the environment. That means I'll be voting Green.<br /><br />The Libs, despite all the research and science that's been pouring in virtually weekly since Harper took power, remain Tar Sanders, Fossil Fuelers as though you can have Athabasca and stand with the world in arresting climate change. That's so hypocritical it's rancid.<br /><br />That's the path this clown prince has chosen for the Liberals and it is one that betrays our country and future generations of Canadians.<br /><br />@Anon 5:06, I'm not okay with what he's already done with the LPC. By the way, have you read "The Burden" from The New York Times, 2003? If not, read it and allow M.I. to open your eyes.

The less charitible interpretations become pretty cynical pretty quickly.<br /><br />I've actually gotten to the point where, even though I am literally a card-carrying liberal and have been for eons, I'm seriously considering working for the Other Guys in the upcoming byelection and the next election so that he can be turfed as leader and we can move on.Jon Dursihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06977770633544495176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-23563486132753399802010-11-06T05:51:27.310-07:002010-11-06T05:51:27.310-07:00Anon, I am considering voting for Marijuana Party....Anon, I am considering voting for Marijuana Party.<br /><br />Mike like Pearson?
