Just watching Global. Talk is that he may be stepping down as early as tomorrow. Certainly by Wednesday. I sure hope so. The Libs don't have enough time to properly restore their party, but they need to get started ASAP. We'll see! I know that I'm not alone in saying that we need a majority 'sitting', being watched closely by a solid opposition.
Well considering the present state of the Liberal party, this seems liek it can only be good news (how could it prossibly be worse?). Dion, for better or worse, finally had the Liberal party stand up to the Conservatives, Ignatieff was at a distance from the coalition talk the whole time, he didn't have to be the leader of it at any time, and now Dion gets to walk off with all the stink of it and Ignatief can get on with leading the Liberals. What's more, if he's concilliatory towards the Conservatives, and tries to work with them, that might soften his image a bit.
Wait a minute, weren't the Liberals last week presenting Dion as the new Prime Minister of Canada after the deal was struck with the dippers and the traitors? Now this week they're trying to get rid of Dion faster than a drug deraler trying to get rid of 20 pounds of coke down the toilet with the cops at the door?
At a dinner thrown in her husband's honour, a man turned to Madame Dion And said, "Your husband has been such a prominent public figure with such a busy schedule. How quiet will retirement seem in comparison. What are you most looking forward to in these retirement years?" "A penis," replied Madame Dion. A hush fell over the table. Everyone heard her answer yet no one knew what to say next. Stephane leaned over to his wife and said, "In Hinglish dey pronounce dat word, "Appiness".
I kept emailing every Lib MP and staffer I thought would listen. They were surprisingly sympathetic to my dislike of this Rae/Dion mantrap.
Manley should come back into politics. Either he or Ignatieff are needed now.
As usual Bob Rae is the stumbling block. I hate his hijacking of the party as much as floor crossers. The man is a duplicitous weasel.
It was a classic moment of one man's silence speaking volumes. Anyone who tries to pin this idiocy on Ignatieff is a disingenuous hack.
