Even the new Liberal slogan, "We Can Do Better," is the same slogan used by former Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield in the 1972 federal election. But, unlike Stanfield in 1972, the Liberals have not explained what they would do better – or

    I don't know if they can do better, but given Harper's flip flops and willingness to do anything to stay in power, what's the difference?

    This centralization of policy along with strict "message control" has shortchanged Canadians. It has meant little public discussion of key issues and testing of new ideas by Liberals (or Conservatives). Instead, the focus is on attacking the other guy.


    Yup.

    I'm in favor of selecting people for political leadership from the jury pool. Let them serve their single term and then go home. No campaigns, no fund raising, no lobbyists.

    I sincerely doubt that picking people at random would yield us worse leadership than the present system that pikcs the biggest brown-nosers and liars.

    So far the better they can do is a recycled 1972 PC party slogan and the flag of Indonesia. Most Canadians don't think that's worth $300 million for Iggy to find his backbone.

    "We can do better" probably stands for the liberals ability to pick a leader that is good for Canada. They haven't done so well since Lester Pearson.
