My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

Shorter John Ivison
I am getting really, really nervous about the NDP's chances this time. It might be time to dust off my UK passport. I hear Doug Finley might be doing the same thing.
Sounds about right. But I have to wonder whether many voters would see, say, "anti-corporatism" as the shocking allegation Ivison seems to think it is.
He continues with the meme that the NDP aren't fiscally responsible, although he uses the "anti-corporate" dog-whistle to make that claim. Such horseshit. The NDP is by far the most fiscally responsible party in the country, when you do a straight up comparison of provincial finances under various party flags.

ReplyDeleteI'm nervous about it, sure.
ReplyDeleteBut whatever. It's an interesting time in Canadian politics.
