Let Borys Wrzesnewskyj be the Candidate in Etobicoke-Centre

As I've said over and over and over again, I believe the mushy middle in Canadian politics is disintegrating. The nice comfortable zone of easy answers is vanishing. The opportunist Liberal Party of Canada is finding itself becoming increasingly irrelevant. The Liberal Party of Canada has long allowed Canadians to put off making tough choices and while that might have been a good, practical thing a few decades ago, now all they do is make (fewer all the time) people believe that you can have your public health care and your dreams of stock market riches at the same time.

In short, I believe that the Liberal Party of Canada should die. But, that being the case, I still think that the narrowly defeated Boris Wrzesnewskyj should be the anti-harpercon candidate for Etobicoke-Centre. Even though there's a temptation for the NDP to maintain the momentum of eliminating the Liberal Party of Canada, given the revolting nature of the present regime of usurpers and frauds, and given Wrzesnewskvj's results in 2011, that there will be greater rewards if the NDP stands down for the re-match.

(This is all assuming that the Supreme Court of Canada isn't going to hold off on hearing this case until October!!! Argghhhh!!!!! What a low point for Canadian democracy!)

Agreed. The vote margin was such that I'm sure lots of voters who supported Borys Wrzesnewskyj will be very motivated to right a wrong. This by-election (if it happens and I sure hope it does) is not about party platforms but righting a wrong.

And should the Council of Canadians succeed with their challenge of some 7 ridings, the same principle should apply in closely contested seats.

Wouldn't that be a sign of political maturity and respect for democracy against its enemy?

Steve Harper, President, the Corporate Party of Canada

Harper’s not crazy nor stupid. Harper is just the front for corporate interests.


Harper’s Neoconservatism: This entire “hard right” movement is a crock. It is not a religious evangelist movement, OR a moral movement.

It is a corporate movement.

Nadine,

He's a frontman, a corporate shill for sure.

But he's also stephen harper 24 hours a day.

That would drive anyone crazy. I think his successes against Canada's pissant democratic pretensions have stirred something ugly and dangerous at the tiny core of his being.
