To be perfectly honest, I believed that old PC Party to be Liberals with a different name. Remember the days when the Liberals wanted to scrap CUFTA and then NAFTA? Anyway, this will shape up to be an interesting election. Also, I agree that the NDP and Greens have far more political integrity than the Liberals (despite Layton's move to prop up the Liberals whom he later called corrupt).

Absolutely true. Personally, the only difference I see between the current Conservatives and the Liberals are in social issues, like same sex marriage. True, the Liberals run like socialists but they rule from the right.

And, in Layton's defense, propping up Liberal minorities has always helped the NDP/CCF get important reforms through the House in the past. Atleast he took a stand with healthcare and withdrew his support when Martin wouldn't gurantee his commitment to public healtcare.

Although, it seems that Martin finally got around to reading Trudeau's book "Getting Elected in Canada for Dummies."

Rule #1: Get the American gov't to criticize you publicly and then respond to them as if you have a spine. If you don't actually have backbone, pretend.
