I would almost guarantee you that this "personal trainer" is the son or daughter of a Conservative party contributor. Or maybe she's just really hot :silly:Quote:

People need to learn what "unsustainable means". By the figures you've given (average today is men 80, women 84 btw), he should have bumped it from 65 to 75.
Most people's problem with Harper is they have no vision beyond next week.
Harper wants to see the country in at least as good of shape 10, 20, 30 years from now as it is today.
His plans for the future do not sit well with the "now" generation.
If you were Duffy's personal trainer, would you admit it?Quote:

The East will go Liberal
The West will go to Harper
Que NDP/LIB or split
Ontario is the huge question mark and really, the bottom line I think is whether or not people are starting to clue in with respect to
a) foreign ploicies
b) Economies, fiscal issues and taxation.
Let's just hope that the realization is what these last three issues will look like under Justin or Tom terrific.Quote:

Federally...theres foreign policy ( and that matters not at all provincially) and the shine has been falling off JT since Sept and ISIS, then pariliament hill. This alone might be a game changer.
Lately even the Star is ripping Ms Wynne (more accurately the party) for tax/spend, and cost of things...and Im guessing theres a lot of people who did vote for them, who are beginning to regret it, if they don't already.
True, Onatrio's bloody apathy and the GTAs inability to look much beyond it's borders, or tomorrow is a cause for concern, but the Unions also factor heavily in prov elections and much less so Federal ones.
This stuff with Duffy is just theatre and a side show.
Civil servant unions are genetically predisposed to hate Conservatives and Harper. I predict they, the Provincial Liberals and the CBC will pull out all stops in the campaign to get JT elected. OPSEU will support CUPE financially and with boots on the ground. The working families coalition will kick in also. And if it's a Conservative minority ( my guess at this point is, it is ) then expect a coalition after the election to remove the Conservatives. I hope I'm wrong but at this point that's how I see it unfolding.
I can't see any coalition working,long term. In the past,coalitions have not lasted more than a few months plunging us back into another election....if memory serves.Quote:

Lorrie Goldstein (i''m not a huge fan of the sun, but they are one of the few that keeps the left honest, by calling spades, spades abeit in a spectacular fashion) has a good article today. I'll link at the bottom but it's unrelated to the Federal issues, so lets not.
Their impact though should be watered down. In provincial elections their influence, clout, etc can't be understated. No doubt many will simply march to their drum beat as per usual.
How many "fence" sitters though were swayed by the BS and rhetoric, and fear mongering......but that's not as "important" when it's Federal....and secondly, how many more are now seeing the "truth" and regretting having the wool pulled over their eyes. In case I'm not wording it right, a lot of people either fell for it, got swept up in it, or "devil you fear" (not counting the die hards, etc)...I suspect that will be greatly diminished come the Federal election.
