silverpig Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 What? That sounds really weird and backwards. If anything, I think a lot of people voted for Layton solely because they liked the candidate. As an individual, he was way more likable than Harper.

Electro Rock Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 This was one of many similar newspaper cartoons depicted the nature of the Soviet-Nazi alliance in 1939-40, basically everyone at the time but Stalin appearantly, saw things for wht they were.

Buttock Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Harper is a moron. Why address the actual criticism when you can just throw some mud and attack the NDP over something from over 70 years ago? Because he's a pure partisan and he knows that most Canadians don't like him or his policies. So the Conservatives throw mud, it's what they do. For the last six years, every time a Conservative was grilled on anything the default response has been "Well, it's actually because of the mess the Liberals left," or "you should have seen how bad it was when the Liberals were in power." Now that's not working, get ready for three more years of attacking the NDP, not on their policies, but on their character. Socialist anti-business job-killing union-loving tree-huggers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well all it took was some attack ads on Ignatieff being "un-Candian" to lead us down the tubes. Reminiscient of the Clinton impeachment for getting a BJ, which led to eight years of Bush. I hope as a democratic society, Canadians can learn to vote for key policy issues, not on the likability or charisma of leadership. Voting "god" or voting for the leader which best represents your "qualities" is really only a smokescreen to elect the bully from highschool. I voted Ignatieff, having seen him speak multiple times at UBC, even before running the man is an intellectual and understands foreign policy better than anyone. Canada is and has historically been liberal, the movement towards an NDP/Conservative alignment demonstrates that smokescreen politics really work. Yes Jack was likable, yes Harper is "truly" Canadian, but both fail in the larger picture of moving the Canadian economy away from resource dependency to a sustainable future. In terms of actual policy, Harper has spent 10 billiion on 65 f-35 aircrafts. Fighter jets... with no aircraft carrier or naval fleet, Canada has 65 jets that would look great in an airshow. These fighters are being trained right now in Florida, not even job creation for Canadians in bases like Winnipeg. In the future, vote intellect, it never fails.

Matthew Lombardi 18 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 They are not, but I think the Liberals are different. The party's history IS their legacy, and they can use that to their advantage if they choose. The current Conservatives, on the other hand, cannot look back to the days of Borden and Diefenbaker, Mulroney or even MacDonald for that matter (personally, I wouldn't want to promote any one of their legacies). I mean, they simply are not the PC Party of the 80s and 90s. They can look back to {reston Manning and Stockwell Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
