On one hand, I won t complain if this means anonymous Liberals are no longer worthy of front page news. Now that Harper has a majority you can be sure Elections Canada won t be pursuing it very hard. Come on Star track this down and find out who is behind it. One report I heard said calls came from North or South Dakota. This the kind of thing journalists should be investigating. I hope you guys at the Star haven t forgotten the robo call phone scam yesterday which tried to send voters to non existent polling stations. The downfall of the Liberals is the least of Canada s worries right now, except that it does seem as the Liberals have declined, so has the positive role of government in helping vulnerable and Canadians. I guess from their writings that many of your colleagues at the Toronto Star are happy about the latest turn of events, but the coming years will teach them about the costs. I hope Layton soon wipes the smile off his face, because the shifts that are going to come through from Parliament, Senate, Court and other government appointments, are not going to help the Canadians who need help the most. Sadly, more for Layton has just meant less for many ordinary Canadians. The less fortunate in Ontario still suffer from shifts which took place during the Harris years.
Unfortunately, it is a lot The Moonstone to dismantle things than it is to restore them. I guess Layton would say a decade or two of suffering is all worth it, if ultimately the NDP can form a government and get to work on trying to reverse the many years of progressive decline. This will be the 3rd election where the type of people Layton claims to care about will be worse off even though the NDP s seat count has dramatically risen with each of those elections. Wonder how all of Ibbitson s Parliament Hill Press Gallery hacks who hate Harper feel today. So much for the media s attempt to run the country. Will that mean the end of voter anonymity? Donors will be identified, with information available to party in power and others? This would be a concern because of what one or more parties could do with this info, from federal jobs to poll by poll spending. A link to something or your own or expert nalysis would be appreciated! The Cons will eliminate political subsidies. turnout numbers and relationship to demographic the vote splitting real or fiction: much change in % of votes across three parties, ie did Con simply hold vote while NDP increased, etc. So look for Ignatieff to try to find a way to leave, without automatically triggering a leadership race as required under the constitution. My bet is that they d like to take their time, now that they re facing at least four years in the wilderness. I m not entirely sure that the Liberals are in any mood to plunge into yet another leadership race. If that s so, and my reading of the party constitution Section 54 is correct, Liberals would be then forced to have an immediate leadership contest too. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is holding a news conference at 10, and the general speculation is leaning toward his immediate resignation. There will be plenty to write about on this topic in days ahead, but for now, as a place-holder of sorts on this blog, I ll say I stand by the predictions made in a previous post Trading Places.
