Now the NDP are pulling out the attack ads against Ignatieff for not supporting the coalition. Layton has become an absolute crybaby. I never thought I'd see him fall so far.

Poor Jack Layton, his bubble has been burst at fantasy land and he won't be Deputy PM of Canada.

I really regret not taking a swing at Layton when I passed by him in the lobby of CBC's Ottawa HQ almost a year ago.

That's like walking into a room with Marty Feldman, Mel Brooks, Richard Moll, Michael Jackson (after all the surgeries), Ryan Smyth, and myself, and declaring I'm the best looking one in the room.

Well, Jack's probably not finished as leader of the NDP... But I highly doubt he shows his face west of Ontario ever again.

I went to the article (on the CBC website) and I could not believe how many people posted anti-Ignatieff or anti-Conservative comments...with atrocious spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.

It really spoke to the level of intelligence and education of the NDP/Bloc followers.

glad to see common sense prevailed here.

NDP and the bloc are only looking out for the best interest of themselves.. its very annoying when they say its for the betterment of Canadians.. its all about them.

Glad to see the Liberals decided to actually do what better for canadians. Also great that they want to see some accountability.. that is what they should be doing.. Working together.. Have not been a fan of the liberals for a while now but this is a good start in improving that.

There was an article today in the Sun today that had a link to the NDP website asking for comments. I submitted the comments below along with my name and e-mail address. I have not received a response.

It's nice to see it's the same old same old with the NDP and Jack Layton. While the Liberals are trying to work with the government by supporting the budget, old Jack wants to fight them every step of the way. If Jack and the NDP had Canada's interests at stake and not just their own power hungry agenda, they would try to help Canada through tough economic times rather than disagree for the sake of disagreeing.

I have renewed faith in the American political system when I see the losers of the presidential election vowing that they will do everything possible to help support their elected government and encourage their followers to do the same. They are going to get through this economic crisis together. I wish I could say the same for Canada.

And Jack, word of advice, if you would quit coming across as a raving lunatic you might get more support. Right now, everyone but your supporters sees you as a nut job that has his own personal agenda. Hell, I might even get behind the NDP if it was someone else running the show. Right now you are nothing more than a detriment to this country.
