I've heard a lot of good things about Wrzesnewskyj (rej-NIF-sky) and he was one of the Liberal MP's that impressed me.

He has my tentative support.

If the Liberals ever want to win again they'll have to adopt Brison's policies.

If Sgro leaves, I might run to replace her, and no I'm not joking.

I have no problem with Rae as leader so long as he adopts all of Brison's policies on anything dealing with any amount of money.

Remember the CPC has a majority, that means if we want to win (and I want us to win) we need to take their seats. Taking every NDP seat still results in a CPC majority. We should focus on taking so many seats from the CPC that they are reduced below the NDP. If that means we have to run on a "right-wing" platform, than so be it. I can back that.

You are right that this is exactly how the Tories would frame it.

This is a bad thing. They just had an Anglo leader. They can't have another one again.

Alternation for its own sake is long obsolete, but it always has a way of imposing itself even when better-qualified candidates of the other linguistic group are available. See 2006 for details. There are much better reasons to oppose Rae's potential candidacy than his mother tongue. Unless you think LeBlanc is genuinely the best candidate for non-linguistic reasons.

Oh, I don't care about the rule. It just amuses me as a tradition.

I don't know what is up with you and Brison. Brison can be nominated, will be nominated, and will win.

Is Kennedy good enough with "The French"? Last I heard he was somewhere between Dewar and Chisholm.

I would rank the current race as:

Trudeau - A+
Dull McG - A+
LeBland - A-
Dav McG - B+
Kennedy - B

with no changes if the top 2 decide not to run (and I doubt that Dullton will)

I've met him. He's an idiot.

Wrzesneysky is someone I hope runs.

This party is slowly being taken over by those who think Trudeau was a God.

I thought we had shaken that off in the 90's.

I think I'm going to be ill.

LeBlanc can best be defined as "aloof", at least in person.

What we need in a leader is the intangibles. People often support or oppose a party and when you ask them why, even with specific questions, they say "I don't know" and that's the truth, they really do not know. It's the leader or party's ability to invoke an emotion. Trudeau evokes emotion, and thus, would be a good leader, because the emotions he evokes are positive. Compare this to Iggy and Dion, who evoked negative emotions.

Calgary is liberal compared to rural Alberta.

Calgary has always been much more progressive than people give it credit for.

As for Ford, his election was directly related to Miller. Miller was far too left-wing, or, at least, looked far too left-wing. He was terrible at "selling" his policies, and that's how Ford got elected.

Miller looked overly left-wing and incompetent who allowed city hall to fill up with gravy

Looked.

The fact that Ford can't seem to find any gravy proves that this was not the case, but voters thought it was.

I don't think Rae has to defend his record really. It was so long ago, and, the people who are most likely to vote for him now - Liberals - are also the most likely to understand why he did what he did.

Rae lead an incompetent government.
Some people think Ontario NDP = Incompetent government.
It really had less to do with left/right on that
