Legislature?<BR/> "He did a great job on the leadership campaign and I'm hoping for the same kind of issues-based, principled approach during the election campaign."<BR/><BR/>Right, principled approach! Would that be refering to the Antisemetic approach to Bob Raes wife. Seems to me those guys ended up being Dion suporters.<BR/><BR/>And while I'm at it, who will be the English speaking spokesman for Dion? 24 million Canadians want to know.<BR/><BR/>Horny ToadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1166910000697228632006-12-23T16:40:00.000-05:002006-12-23T16:40:00.000-05:00I'm a BCer, not a Con, but can't help seeing parac...I'm a BCer, not a Con, but can't help seeing parachutes all over the sky as too many Torontonians for the available seats suddenly remember long-ago connections elsewhere - in places they left behind.<BR/><BR/>Gerard, for example, educated at U of T and Trent, spent 3 years, back in the 80s, in Edmonton. <BR/><BR/>Justin, a Montrealer, taught here in Raincouver for a couple of years in the last century. That makes him "our" guy??<BR/><BR/>Don't forget, we non-416/905ers might have a few decent candidates whom <EM>we</EM> know - even if Ontario doesn't - right in our own front yards.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to sound grumpy.

I've felt his fame is somewhat undeserved. Just because you are the son of a PM doesn't mean you will be any good. I think he needs to make it on his own as I am generally not a big fan of those who have things handed down to them. I myself refused to work for anyone in my family and instead choose to make it on my own rather than family connections.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1166892516097382702006-12-23T11:48:00.000-05:002006-12-23T11:48:00.000-05:00You'll have to add - some 40 patronage appointment...You'll have to add - some 40 patronage appointments by Harper so far during the Xmas break and, amendment to the Conservatives 2005 donations report to Elections Canada - on December 13th, interesting isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1166892415824305862006-12-23T11:46:00.000-05:002006-12-23T11:46:00.000-05:00Martha Hall Finlay in Trinity-Spadina would be goo...Martha Hall Finlay in Trinity-Spadina would be good.<BR/><BR/>Interesting - I read where Helena Guergis represented Trinity-Spadina during the Harris regime and in those days she pledged not to vote against SSM BUT since she's now with Harper she voted against it - in other words she voted for "VOTES" and not prinicple.

I think Gerard does have legitimate Western roots and an Edmonton connection. Anyway, as I said he'll probably run in a safer riding, but I'd like to see out stars in ridings we can swing, not safe ridings. Gerard in Edmonton would be huge, but I'm doubtful too it will happen.<BR/><BR/>Anon, have any examples to share with us?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1166823600704265832006-12-22T16:40:00.000-05:002006-12-22T16:40:00.000-05:00The sad story is that Dion is pushing hard on the ...The sad story is that Dion is pushing hard on the 1/3rd women candidates and te joke is that since they are not getting good candidates, they are asking male candidates to go through a sex change! The party is going to end up losing a lot of seats by putting candidates who cannot win an election but willfulfill the 1/3rd mandate.

He's a star, no doubt about it, but I think you and I both know how much westerners would love a provincial politician from Ontario to run out there. <BR/><BR/>I think he'd be best in Toronto. His seat would be locked up, so he could help us campaign in other parts of the province and the country.Zachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312456253891615523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1166809869558144082006-12-22T12:51:00.000-05:002006-12-22T12:51:00.000-05:00Kennedy vs. Rob Anders in Calgary West - dare to d...Kennedy vs. Rob Anders in Calgary West - dare to dream.Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076562758392176950noreply@blogger.com
