In the first hundred days of an NDP government . . .And knowing, that not only is Jack serious, that sensible people are taking the notion seriously . . . you have to hope that people everywhere will remember Bob Rae and the protest vote that gave us the NDP majority in Ontario in the 90s.
Maybe Jack's sincere belief and reaction to the upswing in the poll is enough to make more rational people snap out it and not give in to knee jerk disdain for Ignatieff and the Liberals.
Truth is, I like Jack and respect the NDP for their sincere beliefs. I simply think their fiscal policy is ruinous. Hearing those words from Jack's lips, and knowing he meant them ... it was almost surreal.

You're obviously too young to remember the disaster of the Rae government in Ontario and the misery that created.
Name the NDP Provincial government and you'll find an economic disaster followed close on the heels of their taking power.
From Ontario to Manitoba,Saskatchewan,and B.C.,whenever the NDP have formed government, business and investment left the Province,the civil service expanded rapidly,and jobs in the private sector became scarce.
Let's hope voters in this Country aren't naive enough to believe that "nice guy" Jack Layton has a bloody clue about how the economy actually operates.
On a National scale,it would be disastrous,and we'd end up like Greece,Ireland,England,and every other Country that's been foolish enough to elect far left socialists.
Anonymous, did you actually read the post. I remember. That's my point and the reason I used the words *fiscally ruinous*.
Folks, call me paranoid, but I think there's A LOT more to the Coup/Coalition than meets the eye. For those interested in stopping the hijacking of OUR democracy, please give a gander at: "The Real Co-Conspirators Behind the Coup":

and tell me if I'm wrong. Please.
