Come to think of it; google Murray Dobbin, (forget the title) meeting with Mulcair, GG, Harper, Milliken….etc….meeting regarding Israel and anti-semitism.

Let’s not forget how he publicly threw Libby Davies under the bus for that impromptu interview she had.

I have most certainly not grasped your beliefs. Every politician wants power. Quelle surprise. Is it a good enough reasons to entertain suffering a Harpercon majority? I think not.

And guess what? the NDP, to get more seats, tend to slam the Liberals but are not so critical of the Cons during campaigns.

As soon as I can find that Murray Dobbin article where he takes part in that Zionist group, along with the GG, I will post it.

Also, research Catherine Pinhas, his wife.

These days, he seems to be bending on corporate tax cuts with Harper, RE: upcoming budget.

I also seem to remember you hoping for a Harpercon majority. Yep, I’d say you’re a shillng for the Harpercons.

In contrast, Mulcair a guy who stuck it to a crooked land developer in Laval when a wetland was destroyed without authorization and he’s the guy who got kicked out of Charest’s cabinet for sticking to his guns and refusing to sell Mont-Orford Park to Charest’s lawyer buddy. I suppose, if I’m shilling for anybody, it would be for him. He leaves no don’t that he’s EARNED the public’s confidence.

You should be seeing Christian Paradis in your sleep as well, given the construction company hired to do reno at Parliament isn’t so squeaky clean, themselves and not free of allegations and seem to be hooked to ReformaTory fund raisers.

The Gowlings firm is a corporate law firm. The last thing they’d be dealing with is defendants accused of tax evasion.

Again, provide the proof that he is actually developing relationships with Accurso, himself.

I looked into that. Yanno, all easily searchable. All out in the open. If this was a real problem, how come team Mulcair hasn’t gone after it by now? Or team Harper or team Duceppe, for that matter; both of whom would be better served if Mulcair were reelected?

And do you think he could go on being a partner at the prestigious Gowlings law firm if he were entangled with ‘mobsters’?

by the by; Louisbourg and Simard-Beaudry are 2 different companies.

I’m not sure, but I think that Louisbourg SBC is an Accurso company.

I didn’t compare him to my friend. I was only pointing out that the wingnut element will never let the sponsorship scandal die a proper death it would seem, even if it means holding any younger aspiring Liberal responsible for it.

You insist the Liberals same I’m sorry? Yet, you don’t insist on Mulroney saying “I’m sorry” for the Karlheinz Schreiber affair. Practising double standards, are we? Now, it seems that Christian Paradis, a Harpercon, is involved with those very same Quebec construction scandals involving those renovations at parliament hill, yet that seems to be ok as well, or at the very least, he’s not being held responsible.

I never said Cauchon did business with Accurso. I did some research following that other commenter, church lady. I have found no evidence to support those allegations, or anything remotely close.

I was speaking in generalities about Quebec politicians of any stripe in general; that it wasn’t exclusive to Liberals; provincial or federal.

Nothing beats sliminess than conservatism; especially Harper’s theocratic far right conservatism.

I don’t think there’s one Quebec politician of any stripe who hasn’t had one collusion or interaction or indirect link with Tony Accurso.

Funny how conservative scandals, as well as those of the Parti Quebecois are so easily forgiven.

I still disagree about Mulcair tho. Without saying too much, I do have some contacts who talk and let’s leave it at that.

First off, Cauchon came back for a reason, and I remember that he wanted the Outremont nom or forget it. I will take that to mean that constituents had asked him to come back. But there is always more than meets the eye.

Trudeau may well run to get his feet wet, but there is one issue; he has to be re elected in Papineau, and that is by no stretch, a fait accompli. It is not a Liberal stronghold. In 2008, by all accounts, Bloc incumbent, Vivienne Barbot shouldn’t have lost; there was really no reason for her to lose. She’s also popular with the large Haitian community of St-Michel, the eastern most district of Papineau riding. It is to my understanding that Ms Barbot will be trying to recapture her seat. She is still active in the Bloc Quebecois. I believe she’s a party vp of some stripe.

An election in Papineau is usually a race between Bloc and Liberal. Liberals would catch the mostly federalist, largely Allophone (English a second language) western most district of Papineau; the Bloc, the center of the riding, Villeray district, mostly Francophone, separatist, where most of the protests were held against Justin when he was running. Whoever takes St-Michel, wins Papineau (as a rule, you understand). Justin, thus far, seems to only hold riding events in friendly Park-Ex, never seeming to venture out into either Villeray or St-Michel. Justin won Papineau in 2008 by a slim margin; by a little over 2%.

Right now, I can’t really predict whether Justin Trudeau will hold or whether Ms Barbot will take back Papineau.

Given that the Parti-Quebecois is likely to come back to power sooner rather than later, it’s only a matter of time before the sovereignty kick is back in full swing, thus making is far more difficult for Justin to retain his riding.

I do think that Mulcair will win his riding. The main reason is that the local voters will know that the Liberals will not likely win the federal election. There is no need to have an MP in the government if the race is between the Liberals and NDP. I do think Layton will resign after the election and the battle will be between Mulcair and Dewar. Who will win? I don’t know.

You are correct about the Liberals wanting a younger leader to replace Ignatieff. LeBlanc is a good potential candidate. I am wondering about Justin Trudeau. He may run just to get his feet wet. Bob Rae will resign after the election. He knows that his time is up. Gerard Kennedy will struggle if he runs. The beginning of the race will depend on the candidates’ fundraising skills.

If Harper does win a minority. He’ll hold on as long as he can. I can’t see him resigning very soon. Unfortunately for the Conservatives, they won’t have much time to hold an effective leadership campaign. They could get the Conservative version of Michael Ignatieff (or Sarah Palin) if there is a campaign.
