Yo...Chretien on a skiing trip James?<BR/>Give it a rest. You know damn well what the RCMP dictates as to security for the sitting PM, whoever that may be. Your looking for dirt where there is none.<BR/><BR/> I realize you are a little stressed with your current leader and the polling numbers. Just relax a little bit. If Harper wins the election, Liberal's should just accept the reality that he was the choice of Canadian's on election day.<BR/><BR/> I will agree with you on one thing. I find it unbelievable the NDP will pass the Lib's on election day. Dion would really have to blow the english debate for that to happen.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-64769393278403798852008-09-28T11:32:00.000-04:002008-09-28T11:32:00.000-04:00You mean like when Harper feels like going to a ho...You mean like when Harper feels like going to a hockey game with his buddies?

That's a reality check! Your tax dollars in action folks. "<BR/><BR/> Of course you realize being the PM does come with some security measures and risk, right? But hey, since you brought it up about taxpayer dollars, let's go back to the 2006 election. Then PM Liberal Paul Martin had the OPP close down a major highway, during rush hour no less, so his entourage could attend a photo-op shortly after the Jane Creba murder.<BR/><BR/> Forget those taxpayer dollars for the OPP to close the highway, let's talk out of pocket money. I lost $70 in pay sitting in the gridlock caused by his 10 minute photo-op.

Too busy on the leader's tour to lurk lately?<BR/><BR/>I think Conservatives are impressed when one of their own is an "elite/elitist". Reach for the Toppers are rare in their party. In Liberal political circles it's rare if one of us politicos WASN'T on the "Reach For The Top" or Debate Team. I was on my "Reach for the Top" Team, and was captain of my debate team. I also played football and hockey. Yeah... some of us are also well-rounded... I guess that's why they call us the "elite"... lol...<BR/><BR/>Love Harper's labels - when he wants to name-call... When he's hiding his own past, then he is someone "who's changed". Yeah, right. His mentality really hasn't changed since the NCC days. He is the same wolf in sheep's clothing. They love to trot out the "oh, but he's changed" since the:<BR/>1) Western ghettos comments<BR/>2) The firewall comments<BR/>3) The "Northern European Welfare state" comments (which insulted both Canadians AND Europeans)<BR/>4) incessant attacks on Canada in his blessed "promised land" of USA<BR/><BR/>Harper hasn't changed, and the public - 60% of them - know this. They are just trying to figure out how best to dump him. In the next couple of weeks we'll see the results of that need...
