The Liberal Party of Canada is contemplating moving up its leadership selection date in case of an earlier-than-expected election.
The Liberals are claiming that Prime Minister Stephen Harper might be planning to call an election prior to the Liberals' leadership selection.
Or...
Are the Liberals stupidly planning to defeat the government? Even under the circumstances, which point to a guaranteed Conservative majority, from my reading of many recent polls, plus the Liberals' $30-odd million debt and apparent inability to raise much in the way of donations, one cannot underestimate Librano stupidity and chutzpah, nor their delusion that there's nothing wrong with them and they'll be back in power in no time flat.
Pitiful Libranos.
And listen to Party President Mike Eizenga:
"We don't trust Harper," Eizenga said. "He's displayed a certain craftiness. He's got bad policies, but his political craftiness is something we have to be wary about."
Now isn't that funny? They don't trust Harper? Fair enough, as in politics one shouldn't trust one's political opponent, a fact the Liberals are well aware of... since they themselves know they can never be trusted, either! Not only that, Canadians don't trust the Liberals for well-known reasons. Conversely, more and more Canadians these days are coming to trust the Conservatives, including in Atlantic Canada (I saw in my local paper this week the results of a poll indicating that the Tories have 42% support in the region) and Quebec, both regions not so long ago considered an impossibility for Conservatives to win support and seats. Not to mention they're hugely more popular than the detested Libranos.
"Certain craftiness"? Look who's talking! The Librano$$$, who're infamous for their craftiness in laundering Canadians' money for their own enrichment! They're also infamous for their cowardly, dishonest, vicious attacks on the Conservatives over the years, which helped them cheat their way to electoral victory.
"Bad policies"? Well, which ones? And what about explaining/proving that they're "bad"? And what about the fact that they're popular policies, which helped get the Conservatives elected in the first place? Geez... what a pathetic bunch, those Libranos! They've got nothing. Nothing!
I see the Liberals today as a tiny, mangy old mongrel grabbing at the pantcuff of the Conservative government.
The Liberals have no dignity left.
They'd literally rush through the leadership selection process to install just about anyone at all, to hell with leadership qualities/aptitude, not to mention vision for Canada and suitability to even be Opposition Leader, a position that could well slip out of the Liberal grip in the next election anyway.
The six foot hole is already dug. Why don't they just jump into it?
