Considering the Liberal party is the same party as the Liberal party from 30 years ago, and Dion's tax grabbing carbon tax is very similar to the NEP, the comparison is fair. This Conservative Party however, is not the same as the old PC party given that it is a merger of that old party and the upstart Reform party.

I'll give you that one - and he was demoted from his post as soon as it was revealed.

You mean the "alleged bribe" that the RCMP found "no" evidence of? Not "insufficient evidence", but NO evidence of?

How many "elected" people are in the senate again? And how long was Ray in Dion's "shadow cabinet" before he was elected? Are you sure the Liberals have never had an unelected member of parliament as a cabinet member?

Clearly that is much worse than enticing an MP from other parties across the floor to the cabinet to avoid losing a confidence vote and to cling to power, especially when you consider the critical cabinet post Belinda was given of "Minister of Complex Files" or whatever made up crap they gave her.

Now even you know he isn't breaking the law by calling an election early. If you don't, perhaps you should actually read the law, especially where it says the PM has to have the power to go to the GG if the Parliament is dysfunctional and unable to work. Considering Dion, Layton and Duceppe have been saying for months that this Parliament is dysfunctional, they should be thrilled the PM is finally taking the step Dion has been too scared to take. Now Dion will be able to finally fulfill his promise to "get back to power where we belong" when he was elected leader of the Libs. That is, should he get the votes for his massive tax grab known as the Green Shaft. Hey, has he even paid off his leadership campaign debt yet? Didn't think so... that's the guy I want running the country - the guy that can't manage his own leadership debt and has to go begging for an extension.
