Still, who would pursue it? Or, more specifically, which brave party with any possibility of power would pursue it (sit down, Jack Layton)? That might be a way for the Liberals to regain the centre and knock Harper out of the game. Cynical? Maybe. Necessary?

Re-adopted, actually. It is second nature to those folks, and is, in fact, what we had prior to the call of this election.<BR/><BR/>We're in for a rough ride because Harper won a virtual majority last night and will govern accordingly.<BR/><BR/>Layton will feel great pressure to get with the Tory program in the name of national unity in the face of world economic depression. It will be up to us in the "real political economy" to remind him that his duty is to become the virtual leader of the opposition and mobilize that majority of Canadians who want to see real, progressive change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-61405704623464194152008-10-15T05:18:00.000-07:002008-10-15T05:18:00.000-07:00i think if you look at saam the eagle from the mup...i think if you look at saam the eagle from the muppet show you have iggy's doppleganger.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.com
