“Taxpayers shouldn’t have to support political parties that they don’t support.”

YES ... we can support them as individuals if we wish -- political parties should not be funded by the taxpayers!

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government will move quickly to cut the financial legs of its political opponents by moving to end the per-vote party subsidy in its June budget. “We want political parties to raise funds directly from their supporters and not the taxpayers. So as soon as we can get ...

Jack ... what exactly does it means to have an "appreciation of some of their (Quebec's) key issues".

I just don't get it --- what's with Jack?

Jack Layton has been leader of the federal New Democrats (NDP)since 2003. He says that he is “delivering the kind of change that can make life better” for me and my family, and that his leadership is all about teamwork.

Now Jack Layton says he is, “ready to take the next step”, and that he is “applying for a new job: Prime Minister of Canada.”

Give me a break – is this alleged break-through really anything new? According to the Vancouver Province (April 26th) they think so, bleating out that, “no one predicted the unprecedented national surge in popularity of Jack Layton and the NDP.

John Cummins to lead the BC Conservatives -- deals a blow to Christy Clark's Liberals

Former MP
John Cummins
This morning at a news conference in Vancouver, former Conservative MP John Cummins announced his intentions to lead the BC Conservatives. Cummins is the first to announce his intentions to seek the leadership, and will give the party a real boost in public – and in the media.

John Cummins first ran federally as a Reform Party candidate in 1988, but was not elected until 1993 when he went to Ottawa as the MP for Delta. He won re-election each time since then through the transition of the Reform Party to the Canadian Alliance – and then the Conservative Party.

A look at his biography shows a man that in 1988 earned an M.A. from University of British Columbia ... and who received a B.A. from University of Western Ontario in 1966.

Dear Christy,

You do not know me, however consider me to be one of many like minded British Columbians, who have no appetite or desire for a provincial election.  Please take pity on us!

Michael Ignatieff and the rest of your Liberal friends and associates in Ottawa – and their buddies the NDP and Bloc -- already plan to send us to the polls AGAIN for the kuzillianth time in a few years.  Great – we get to vote in a federal election that will again change absolutely nothing; although perhaps the voters of Canada will have the last laugh on Ignatieff and give Steven Harper and the Conservative a majority government.
