When Jack Layton says that Harper and the Con’s can’t be trusted I believe he is quite sincere, and right of course.
………………………………………………
But if his motives were truly to rid Canada of this scourge, as opposed to simply grabbing power, then perhaps he could come out and say that for the sake of this great nation of ours he is willing to tear up the agreement, and his 6 cabinet posts, but pledge to the Liberals his and the NDP’s support if they were to form government, similar to what the Block has done.
………………………………………………
Michael Ignatieff is right in his position that the Block MP’s are not traitors to Canada but duly elected representatives of a very large and significant segment of Canadians who are being deliberately alienated and marginalized to the extend of being disenfranchised for the sake of the self-serving political expediency of Harper and the Con’s. This scare mongering is being achieved by the greatest propaganda machine Democratic countries have seen in recent history. This is a development that, I think, all Canadians should be very concerned about and take action to marginalize it as all right wing extremist philosophies should be in a tolerant, free, open modern democracy .
