…and Dalton ends the debate

In the link, Jordan fights back, passionately, and attracts an interesting commenter.
My view is Soviet, frankly: samo kritika is never a bad thing. It leads to better self-awareness and, hopefully, remedial action. And redemption.
Prime Minister McGuinty
I have many views on this subject, but I’ll keep them to myself, for now.
What do you think? A good idea?
My Lord
Adler Nation: is the Liberal Party dead?
In which I follow Peter C. Newman, who is a tough act to follow. Also tough: commenting on his book when RANDOM HOUSE WHO IS MY PUBLISHER TOO hasn’t even sent it to me, Scott Sellers. Scott, who works at Random House and is MY FRIEND. Allegedly.
Charles, who isn’t nearly as nasty as some progressives might think, makes me laugh.
Peggy Nash favours making Canada easier to break up
…not a happy headline for her. Meanwhile, Mulcair says his party hates Quebec.
Somewhere, Brian Topp is smiling.

My apologies to all who have been bugged by this.
“Tim Hudak forced an unnecessary election seven weeks after the last one.”
It’s a wordy slogan, to be sure, but we’d get a comfortable majority with it. And, unless I’m wrong, Ms. Horwath would be leader of the Opposition. Not Mr. Hudak.
His exchange a short while ago with reporters, which was something to see:
Reporter: You’d vote against it as it stands right now, if there’s no amendment you’d vote against it as a caucus?
Hudak: That’s right.
…
Reporter: Tim, make it clear, if you vote down a Throne Speech, does that trigger an election? Make it clear to the voters.
Hudak: Well you know what? It depends on the other parties and how they vote…But you’re asking me, you know, can I support…
Reporter: I’m not asking you if you support it. I know you don’t support it. But, if you vote down a Throne Speech, does that automatically trigger an election?
Hudak: It depends on how the other parties vote…But you know, you’re asking a very simple question…
…
Reporter: Tim, technically if the NDP votes against this Throne Speech and so does your caucus, are you bringing down the government? Is it a confidence vote? I mean…
Hudak: You know what? [Inaudible.]
…
Reporter: If you vote against the throne speech, the government has the chance to fall. Is that a chance you are willing to take right now?
Hudak: You know what, what, it’s up to Dalton McGuinty to respond to us…
Reporter: No, it’s up to you, you’re the one voting against it.
Hudak: You know, I told you…
Reporter: You don’t need to take that chance right now?
Hudak: I told you where our votes are parked.
