She's a prime example of why people don't trust politicians at all, because she's dishonest and clueless. Its her dishsoap, she needs to soak in it.

What she is doing is her job. Same with Clueless Joe.
The sad fact is, that I think they're doing the best they can and, well, this is it.
Say what you will of the NDP it would be incredibly difficult to somehow draw the conclusion from what they've done that they've done it with any malicious intent.
This is self-delusion/justification and cognitive dissonance at it's most textbook definition.

Hoffman is in between a rock and a hard place. All she can do is be a good soldier, get up to the podium and be the welcome recipient of the rotten fruit and remain within the ranks.

But, make no mistake here. This is a #### up of epic proportions. Not just from a pure incompetence perspective but from a corporate relationship perspective, investor confidence etc.. This is symbolic of so much more than the 2 billion dollars.

I would say that most of it is valid. I would be hard pressed to see any of the legislation that they've enacted to be beneficial to the public good.
I think if the mandate of the sitting Government is to run and improve this Province I cant think of anything they've done that would fit that bill.
And finally, while I'm kind of on the fence in regards to Resolute's determination that this is unbridled Zealotry, I dont think theres much argument to be made that they arent blindly pushing their ideology while ignoring practicality and this current sequence of events is pretty conclusive evidence of that.
