There are also some questions on the legitimacy of the estimated costs of the tough on crime bill as an independant professor came out and stated that the costs would be lower (It was an article in the sun a few days ago)
It can also be argued that the Parlimentary officer estimation on the jets didn't include direct economic benefits or the partnership purchase benefits.
I would fully expect that Ignatieff probably won't debate too hard on the jets.
2. Please show me how Ignatieff or Layton would be a good alternative. And your second paragraph could be reversed that its useless arguing with a Liberal supporter because all they can really bring up is some nebulous unproven Darth Sideous style hidden agenda. Or that Ignatieff would make a better prime minister because Stephen Harper is a mean vindictive man.
3) No its not ok, the Bev Oda thing to me was oderous, The in and out scandal really doesn't bug me because its a practice that all parties do practice. But the sponsership scandal does stand out because in a lot of ways it was to me a lot more oderous then what we've seen in a long time.
My problem as a voter is that Stephen Harper stinks less then Ignatieff and has a higher sense of reality then the world that Jack Layton and the NDP float in.

Well then get Harper out and put in a good candidate. I hate this minority crap.
Too bad Chretien is too old. He would be awesome in a comeback. Best prime minister ever!
