Quote: “It ought to be clear to any New Democrat that if Mr. Harper were to win a majority of seats in the next election, he would attack Canada’s social state with a vengeance” [End quote]

That is the biggest question on my mind. Just what Mr. Harper and his hard right supporters would try and do with Canada’s cherished social programs. I really do not trust them with that power.

It speaks volumes about the depths of the author’s ideological psychosis that he describes them as such.

According to the author Jack Layton is wrong if he participates constructively in formulating a multi-partisan national climate change strategy, and he is also wrong if he defers to the Liberals as the central force of the Canadian left. What is Layton to do, according to this closet Liberal appologist.

Besides, if any party is truly the ‘enemy’ of effective progress on the environment, it is certainly the LIEbrals themselves, who did nothing for 13 years even while aggresively attacking their opponents on the left and right. As long as Canadians keep believing Dion-esque propaganda, its gonna keep getting hotter!

Layton should work with the Conservatives, Greens, Bloc and civil society groups to formulate a long-term approach which will protect Canada’s natural legacy for future generations.

Will Captain Jack lash himself to the wheel and go down with his NDP ship at the ballot box or will he take the life-preserver Prime Minister Harper and the Conservatives have thrown him?

Mr. Layton is no Captain Ahab, that’s for sure.

Harper is a liar that is not qualified to be Prime Minister. I run a site http://www.harperlies.com examining the very facts that are about to harm Canada in many ways, all due to Harpers lies and incompetance.

Onfortunately it would appear that Harper is only the “easy to pick out” scapegoat. I doubt Dion would be any better other then at cover up. Eithe rway I see Alberta getting whalloped. Its once again, an oil issue.
