Some amazing stuff! This guy should be a member of parliament where his ideas can be heard. Is there anyone else of this view?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-49426394037400308872011-05-05T08:30:40.723-04:002011-05-05T08:30:40.723-04:00It seems to me that the Liberals need to think lon...It seems to me that the Liberals need to think long and hard about the direction of their party first. The last time they ran into anointing a leader was a disaster. They need to re-think policy first then elect a leader aligned with that policy. Of course, WTF do I know.<br /><br />Crap like tanker bans, cap-and-trade (aka the Green Shaft) just isn’t what’s important. Pick one or two key items and keep focused on them. Fundraising is also key. But in my view this goes with policy. Who’s going to support you if you have no policy or the policies you have are so arcane – at least to the Tim’s crowd?<br /><br />It seems to me that the Liberals listened to every little NGO and other special interest group out there to formulate policy. And look what it got them. A tanker ban on the west coast probably satisfied the 4 guys from the Dogwood Initiative (http://dogwoodinitiative.org/) but BC at large didn’t give a shit. In fact, most probably realized how stupid this idea is in the first place. As in, how the hell to you fuel Vancouver Island and other locations on the west coast with such a ban? Oh and why is it OK to run tankers on the east coast but not the west coast?<br /><br />Old dumb as a fox Jack talked about health care, jobs, looking after seniors and so on.<br /><br />Harper talked about squat during the campaign because he had been campaigning for the last two years against the hapless Liberals. All he wanted to say had already been said, over and over and over again. Iggy is an American only here for himself. (Driven home by jack’s debate line – “you’ve been absent for 70% of the votes”). We are good money managers. The big bad coalition. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Say nothing now for fear of screwing up the message you’ve been delivering for the past two years.<br /><br /> What ever happened to the executive team at the Liberals? The current group are just awful.<br /><br /> <br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-73615403817476249222011-05-04T20:07:01.549-04:002011-05-04T20:07:01.549-04:00Anonymous 7:46

It has nothing to do with whether he's "good" at them or not it's not his job to be a pundit it's his job to run the nuts and bolts of the party I'd rather have a president of of the "behind the scenes" variety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-24591356436627278422011-05-04T19:56:39.172-04:002011-05-04T19:56:39.172-04:00One other thing
