King Jean until the right finally realize that when they're split, the libs
will remain in power until the end of time.
The NDP, being the 5th party in a 5 party system, will not cut into the libs
majority enuf to count.
I don't agree with the separatists, for keeping Canada together is, for me,
a better solution, but ignoring why the separatists want ot separate should
be addressed fully and completly.
The Alliance and the PC shoud just stop bickering and realize, as said
above, that whilse they're split, the liberals have a cakewalk. THe
liberals themselves are just waaay too old, arrogant and they know they have
it made--SHeila Copps is the best example of that--"If elected we'll scrap
the GST or I'll resign" Resign means leave permanently, Sheila--but I can't
say anything 'cause I live in Hamilton, the wonderful city that brought us
Sheila.
Anyway, all in my humble opinion.
