Default Andy Ference speaking at the Federal NDP Convention

http://www.ndp.ca/hfx09/speakers

Good to see Andy out there working hard for the NDP. I know he has long been a favourite on this forum, this will only raise his esteem in the eyes of many on this board.

Well we had a good run.

That should put an end to the "Bring Back Ference" sentiment. Unless he runs on stage and body checks Layton... then I think Sutter has no choice but to bring him home no matter the cost.

But I like Andrew.. and I dislike the NDP! Cognitive dissonance! I am alone on an ocean of not-knowing-what-the-hell-to-think!

He's an environmentalist. Of the parties that actually have seats in the house, the NDP has the strongest commitment to the environment.

I don't really understand the shock here.

From now on, whenever someone mentions Ference, I will think about Brad instead of that tree hugging, tofu eating, David Suzuki kissing, hippie Andy

He finally feels comfortable enough to speak his mind now that he's out of Calgary. No surprise there.

I've always found it so ironic that rich people support the NDP so heavily.

The first people that suffer under the NDP are those that make more then 10 bucks an hour.

Oh no - someone I respect supports a different political party than I do. I must hate everything he's ever done now.

It is ironic, clearly those individuals do not understand the whole "incentive to work" thing.

I don't know if I've ever seen many hockey players make their political opinions known. Ference is obviously not afraid to be vocal about things he is passionate about. Good for him.
