I'd anticipated the Liberals would want to delay the election at least until the spring, if not longer, ... But look, if there's a necessity to have a fall election and the NDP ceases to prop up the government, that could still happen.
You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.
No one will ever be held responsible, not legally, not criminally, not politically, as long as this Liberal government is in power, ... A culture of waste, mismanagement and corruption is not going to fix itself.

High-ranking Liberals cynically manipulated the sponsorship program to enrich their party and their friends, ... The Liberals are still in office; no Liberal is still in jail. Political accountability will have to rest with the voters.
Since most of these announcements aren't funded in any of the three budgets the Liberals tabled this year, why should anyone believe these promises,
