I have had very productive discussions with Paul Heller and other members of CAP. There is no question we have common visions for our country. With the election rapidly approaching we are all seeking ways to work together, while a formal merger is not in the offing, lets all pull together. The fate of our country may well depend on our ability to collaborate on its behalf.
I am inviting all those people who feel abandoned by Paul Martin and the direction he will take Canada, to join us to build the national progressive alternative. For your interest I’ve enclosed a copy of my Letter to the Editor, Globe & Mail, on this issue.

Its the first time I see your post here (I think) so I\'ll say Welcome to vive
Regarding your response. I will also be voting NDP as there is no real other choice. Although the NDP may not seem very strong on economic plans, and can be a little to left to some. Their still the only option over the far right wingers in the CPC and Liberal party.
As for the NDP - CAP merge. The problem with the NDP and CAP merge is not so much with NDP not wanting to change their name. Allot of it has to do with NDP and Union ties. Part of the proposal from Paul Hellyer and CAP was some changes in the way NDP and Union are connected.

You should maybe know that the NDP is the only party who is on a consisten climb in popularity. Over the past few years the NDP have actually grown in support. You may be right about this upcoming election, but there is a reason why the NDP have grown in support over the years. Slowly people are realizing the \'far right\' problem in politics in Canada and across the world.

I don't disagree that the NDP has risen in popularity, but the party is still not going to form the next government. At the risk of sounding superficial, the Conservatives will win the West, and Liberals will win the rest. The NDP will not even win the Atlantic provinces; reason being, the Atlantic provinces are always depending on govt. handouts, and they won't get them unless they have an MP who is party of the governing party. Feel free to disagree, but we'll see in May.
