Scott Armstrong is running again.

Now if only we could get Neil to walk again.

And lets Lance provide the drugs - then you would have a party.

Huh. I remember when everyone was running around declaring that the Alberta PC's were completely dead in the water. What weird end for Wildrose.

Copying your opponents policy is often an efficient weapon.

People laugh when I say "pro-union centre-rightist," but I do think that's the most accurate description.

That's a common position here in Denmark based on the belief that strong unions allow employers and employees to work things out without the government having to interfere (or having a pretext to do so). Our Conservatives have generally been quite union friendly for that reason, but it seems to be an exotic position outside of Scandinavia,

Ipsos also has Mulcair with a slightly higher (57/55) approval than Trudeau but more voters believe Trudeau's ready to be PM than Mulcair.

Why do you think that is? Mulcair has a lot more experience incl. being part of a provincial government. The natural distribution would seem to be that people loved handsome, charismatic youngish Trudeau, but still recognized that he was a bit of a light weight and that old greyfaced Mulcair was after all a more qualified leader

"fundamentalist multiculturalist".

lolololololol

Why is that funny? Seems like an adequate description.
