Thanks for the triple threat explaination. I don't know why Harper would consider it a sure thing either.

Doesn't surprise me to hear that the Sponsorship scandal is still a hot topic in Quebec, considering that's where it happened.

I agree, Dion does get a bad rep. Especially with regards to his English. Although he seems like a good politician, I don't think he was necessarily the best choice for leader of the Liberal party.

I live in Ontario and I think that a majority of people here are a little wary of voting for NDP, considering what that got us when we voted Bob Rae as Premier of Ontario. Rae days anyone? Isn't really considered a good period in Ontario politics.

I agree about the whole separate country thing. Just because the US is one of the superpowers and also our neighbours, our policies don't need to be exactly like theirs and our PM doesn't need to suck up to the President. We are our own sovereign nation with our own beliefs and culture. That is what our policies should reflect. Not our friendship with the States.

I agree, they are more likeable when they don't have anything to gain or lose.
