Oh I love it when the liberals get all cranky, I'd be all pissed off if I had some queer little fellow like dion as a "leader". What do you have to look foward to with a girl that has a penis leading your party.

If you had 100millionth of his brain you might qualify as a human being.
he has more intelligence in one finger than harper has in his whole body..

Guy, you know that people think with their brains, not with their fingers, right? What sort of intelligence does Dion have IN his finger exactly that you think makes it worthy of mention?

Like the one we're having now?

John Chretien's government was a strong majority and he had no problem pushing through the senate because Liberals have been stuffing the senate for years.
There was no need for him to call an election because his slightest whim, be that stealing money for his party or using the RCMP to beat up protestors, was done.
The media even blessed his every action with some sort of amusing chuckle.

The Harper government may have been able to get bills passed through the cowardly abstaining Liberals but it's all stuck in the Liberal senate, just like the crime bill.

And an election will alter the senate how? Well, I guess there will be one change, Fortier won't be in it. Or will they just appoint him right back when he loses?
There's no evidence that whatever executive action Harper ordered has not been done. All sorts of programs have been scrapped, civil servants demoted, opposition bills neutered, at his whim.
You think the media will say, "Oh, okay, he won TWO elections. Guess we'd better lighten up, eh, chaps?" Hardly. So what's the point?

Again, how will the senate change as a result of the election? I suppose, on further reflection, Dion could win and fill all the vacancies Harper has refused to, and we'd have an even more Liberal-dominated senate than we do now.

This is a snap election to try to keep the Liberals down in exactly the same way as the 2000 election was a snap election to keep the Alliance down.

A new mandate from the people would be nice and it would also drive home the fact that the "natural ruling party" isn't entitled to rule forever.
That might also wake up the CBC and the other media hacks. Who knows, with a possible majority, maybe something can be done with the senate after all.
The Liberals defiantly don't want it changed.

A side benefit is the Libs are at their weakest ever and they stand to take a big financial hit when they lose a number of seats.

So you admit it's all about making political gains, and keeping the opposition down?

It's the name of the game, I am sure the NDP would not think twice if they ever found themselves in government. Why so appalled?

Did the NDP run, and win, on a platform that included fixed election dates after having been screwed by a snap election? No.

This is a snap election called by the guy who railed against snap elections.

Cute.

Even if this were the NDP calling a snap election, they wouldn't have passed a fixed election dates law. SO while it may be crass, it would at least not be as hypocritical as this.

See, you claim this is part of the game, but Harper claimed and tried to score points for changing the game.

truth hurts don't it... harper is a major liar and asshole.. dickwad.. king wanna be and calgary dumb ass... should be shot and pissed on

A 52 year old Canadian/French man without a drivers license
what kind of protected life has that scrawny little wimp had. How does he get to all his outdoorsy activities? Outdoorsy for him is probably walking 2 blocks to the library in winter.

If you had intelligence (which you don't) you would do a little research instead of relying on tory propaganda and bullshit.. if a person has a disability, is physically or mentally challengecd, isn't in the tory view good to look at or doesn't speak English well.. ( which is 3/4 of the population) you make the people to make fun of list of the torys.. you are ignorant in knowledge of M.Dion and perhaps you might take a minute to get to know him so you at least would have a clue of what you are talking about.. you are a brainwashed rednecked tory with little knowledge of what is going on outside alberta.. and if you take a poll (which you fools seem to rely on so much) of how many people do not have a drivers license.. it might surprise you.. in eastern Canada where civilized people live you dont always need a car.. we can even walk on the street because there is not tory bullshit or horseshit on the road

Do you have a crystal ball? You can say Jackie boy would do something totally against what all politicians do and live up to a promise? Can you really predict what Layton would do if he ever had power, you seem pretty sure of yourself? If so, how come you did not win the 15 Million lastnight?
