Bingo! If the Liberal's spent more time stating there solutions instead of personally attacking Stelmach and preaching "it's time for change" they would have done much better.

Time for change? To what???

To some degree, but going into homless shelters and litterally throwing his change at them while shouting get a job! is crossing some sort of line for a head of the province, no?
Anyway, what a good and long thread this has been. At least the Liberals have a strong leader in Dion and will oust the PC.....oh wait.

All other things aside, is that something that you respected Chretien for too? He always said what he wanted regardless of how it came across and was often criticized by Conservatives for it.

I think the eastern creeps and bums one during his time as mayor was everyones favorite.. I dont agree with attacking the homeless, but more often then not his political uncorrect comments were fairly justified.
