Layton Would Help Liberals Delay Election Call If Corporate Tax Break Killed

Posted on Sunday, April 24 at 11:21 by sthompson
They've seen public support plunge in recent weeks in the face of damaging testimony at the inquiry into the sponsorship scandal. "It's really not about propping up anything," Layton told CBC Newsworld. "In fact, we now know there's going to be an election. It'll be about the corruption issue. It's a question of whether it will be sooner or whether it will be in the wintertime." Full story: http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/04/23/ndp-liberals050423.html

    Hey Jack, what about scrapping NAFTA, and ratifying the Romanow Report? Is your current conditions for supporting the liberals the best you can do?

    Proof the NDP are just as sleazy as the Liberals - Layton and his wife used to live in taxpayer subsidized housing in Toronto while they were both pulling in the big bucks. I wonder what else these NDP'ers are putting their sticky fingers into? Oh but they're such great soothesayers...

    I hate the NDP with a passion. They are bunch of Liberal wanna-bees with social policies that are too left wing and out of step with the majority of Canadian views ( can you say gay marriage?) We need somebody like David Orchard. I wish Mel Hurtig stop supporting these new democrats and get together with David and form a nationalist party. God knows that is what we need in this country!

    you make interesting statements, and you know this how? You might want to express how you know how much money they were making and how much they were paying in rent, at this taxpayer subsidized housing unit and then I might understand the statement. Are you Jack's ex-accountant? Not liking a person or their views is one thing, but making statements as above, should probably have something like proof to support it. IMO

    Yes, they do live in coop housing.
    They pay full-price.

    That's the whole idea behind co-op housing - it's not just "poor" people that live there. There is a range of income levels that live there, and people who make more money pay more rent and are not subsidized.

    anon, I don't know about you but I want Canada out of NAFTA. Can you see the Liberals or Conservatives taking Canada out? The NDP is the only party that would be able to form government and get us out of NAFTA. And could you please tell me how gay marriage is affecting you life? IT's about being tolerant. If two men are in love they have every right to get married!

    Yes, gay marriage is not the scourge of our society. Why such fear of it?
