PMO muzzles MPs on gay Mountie union
You know, I'd rather have a social conservative PM that would openly attack people's lifestyles rather than go in backhanded ways like tax increases and cancellation of climate change programs. At least that way the electorate would be engaged in the political debates.
I spent the entire weekend in Montréal telling people that I don't see how the Liberals and the NDP are going to stop Harper gaining a majority. I just don't see it. The Libs are aimless until they get a leader, and even then, who will it be? I think Bob Rae would be the most skilled, but then again he could lose them Ontario. Who knows? I don't think Michael Ignatieff knows much about tactics, but he seems like a vision guy, which is very important.
As for the NDP, they're running on pure tactics and no vision.
Harper, on the other hand, seems to know exactly where he's going. He might be overreaching a bit, but at least he's reaching for something.
