There are many millions of Canadians who support peace, international law, environmental protection, rational economic policies that promote more safe and satisfying jobs, economic justice, government funded social services including education, health care, and legal aid, well administered public utilities, national independence, etc.
The Green Party, CAP, the new Progressive Canadian Party and NDP are currently the only parties that such progressive Canadians can support, yet none of these parties currently stands a chance of beating the two neoconservative parties. A new federal mainstream Progressive Party could help to break the grip of neoconservative politics in Canada and usher in a new era of real and meaningful progress for Canada.
Join us tonight to find out about the current overall landscape of Canadian progressive politics, the new election and party finance legislation that will bring significant new opportunities for grassroots populist political initiatives, the dire crisis and huge opportunity that Canadians now face, and to explore various electoral strategies to attempt to prevent a deeper neoconservative take-over of Canadian politics, leading to further radical transformations of Canadian society, and a rapid integration of Canada into the US sphere of influence.

" The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly
limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively
debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and
dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free
thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the
system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the
debate. "

BTW, I heard the Bloc has offered to support a minority government, and I also heard that the Conservatives and the Bloc are talking about joining forces for the next election.
Martin has blown his strength in Quebec, so I see a huge problem on the horizon.
Anyone else heard about this ?

I agree. I only posted that for comments. It was posted on a PCOptions forum.

This is down the list a bit, but its there:
Duceppe said there have been no preliminary talks with the Conservatives about the possibility of a coalition, but said there was shared ground between his party and the other opposition parties.
"Obviously we do have different interests, but we have the same enemy and we can come to common goals," he said.

I agree we have to support the ndp as strongly as possible and make sure that Layton knows why we are supporting them, big change, taking back our country, no Lockheed Martin census, no Nafta or other sick trade agreements, no U.S. integration etc!
Oh well it would have still been a waste of time to read I guess
