So many aspects to this. Ray Novak, chosen, I’m sure, because he would be willing to take the complete fall for the next illegal act ordered by harper. Of course harper knew. With Novak, it’ll be harder to claim ignorance when some horrible order is issued because the nature of the relationship between harper and Novak is well known. It is said no one is closer to harper than Ray.

Just mind boggling. Did you see the PMO statement on wright’s resignation? Really bizarre, brief, with a floating statement at the end pretty much ordering Canadians not to pay atention to the issue, but to focus on the government’s rhetoric on the economy and jobs.

I’m pretty cynical when it comes to this government and media coverage, but I don’t think this latest will fade easily. It will leave a mark. McGregor and Maher winning an award for good journalism, the constant blaming of the press when unpleasant truths are written about harper & co., and Duffy turning on past colleagues…this may be what’s been giving other journalists more of a bite, lately. I hope so. This rot can’t just settle, forgotten, glossed over by pandas, Laureen’s latest adventures, or – look! Justin said something silly!

I understand where you are coming from and I don’t expect to change your mind. We all have our own belief systems and grieving process.

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I am sure of one thing. This will be used in the next federal election until progressives can put aside ego and vote strategically. What are the chances of that happening? Slim to none, in my view.

I can’t corroberate the Greens offer to vote strategically, it was mentioned in passing by a Green voter. I’ll post a link if I find one.

As for your statement: “I have heard that the Greens approached the NDP about co-operation prior to the campaign and the NDP weren’t interested.”

I’d like to see more information on this incident.

Encana, Gwyn Morgan, Harper, the mailroom boy for Chevron, could not afford an NDP win. So they bought the election. I have heard that Clark’s first phone calls upon winning were placed to Harper and Redford. As goes BC, so goes Canada in the next election. This may seem like sour grapes to you Owen, but to me it’s a warning and a prediction.

It would be useful to know who hired Topp and who decided to keep him when he launched his business partnership with Boessenkool and Guy.

I’m not so much depressed as I am growing angry.

The arguement that the Green vote would automatically transfer to the NDP is flawed.

You can’t blame another Party for the lack of Campaign effort by Dix and his staff and the poor advice they followed that lost them a sure win. This was an inside job.
