OH NOES Chretien doesnt like what Harper is doing! What ever will we do!!

Nobody cares what you think Cretin.

On an admitted tangent, I have to wonder if there is a single living ex-PM that Harper would listen to or that conservatives wouldn't denigrate. Martin, Chretien and Turner are all out, obviously. But on the PC side, you've just got Campbell, the fall-girl; Mulroney the disgraced, and Joe Who. But even former (Prentice) and current (erstwhile PM hopeful Perter MacKay who I read got snubbed in Harper's little slideshow) top Tories are being left behind.

Say what you like about Chretien, but it's clear that the current government is a one-man show. Call it strong and cohesive, call it disciplined, but it's all held together by just one guy and when he's done, there'll be nobody to fall back on.

Fixed your post.

Harper is more like Chretein in his style of rule than any other ex-PM. Chretein is just pissed off because he liked sucking up to dictators in the UAE, China and Cuba. Harper prefers not to.

You are right on hurley. 2Cdo's so called fixing your post is just tory delusional ideation.

You may very well be right, as evidenced by the Liberals' decline and leadership vacuum since Chretien. But that doesn't bode well for the Conservatives - Harper won't be around forever.

Yeah, held together by a nazi leaning ideologue and an autocrat, I wonder who he really does get his marching orders from. Call it ad hominem attack, the guy is a piece of work. Considering he pretty well does what he damn well pleases now, (and of course the smear campaign/ad hominem attack has started in full election mode on Ignatieff) I seriously cringe at the thought of him gaining a majority.

However, the good news is our fragile economy has turned the corner - wow - the only place in the world to achieve that, I guess thanks goes to stevie and we should all vote for him and his band of buffoons. More good news out of the US bodes well for his upcoming majority because as they say, as goes the US, so goes the world.
