“We will make information more accessible by requiring transparency to
be a fundamental principle across the federal government,” Trudeau said
in Montreal on Day 10 of the election campaign
His plan for the Senate is basically status quo.
Trudeau also said a Liberal government would bring substantial change to
the scandal-tainted Senate by bringing in a merit-basedappointment
process.
Uh, yeah the Liberals are fine ones to talk about transparency in government.
Maybe
they should pay back the $40 million that the Libs stole from taxpayers through adscam before
they talk about transparency and cleaning up government.
Others have had to do what the media has failed to do. Vet the Thomas Mulcair's candidates who have extreme views on certain issues. So let's meet some of them.
Star candidate Linda McQuaig for instance has called for a moratorium on our oilsands.
It's not just her who is anti-oilsands, it's others too under Mulcair's wing.
You have candidates who have come out as anti-Israel as well.
Have a look at this. It's resolutions from their Montreal 2013 convention. Even though some didn't pass, it gives a sense about what their members are all about. Take the time to go through it. Some pretty crazy stuff there.
This is little taste of who the NDP really are.

Marotte, the NDP candidate in Quebec’s Saint-Jean riding; Morgan
Wheeldon, who was, until stepping aside Aug. 9, running in the Nova
Scotia riding of Kings-Hants; and David McLaren, running in

Well last night was the first leaders debate of this federal election so far. I will try and be fair in my analysis.
Thomas Mulcair was surprisingly weak seeing that everyone was saying he was a great debater using his prosecutor style. I think he played it safe. Actually once in awhile he looked kinda creepy.
Justin Trudeau wasn't that great and he wasn't that bad. At least he didn't make any big gaffes. So I guess it's a win for him and his supporters. His closing remarks was not good at all.
Elizabeth May wasn't that bad either really. I did notice she challenged Mulcair and PM Harper but she didn't challenge Justin. I thought that was interesting.
PM Harper was very well I thought seeing that he was being attacked not by three opponents but four. Paul Wells being the fourth opponent. He responded to every time with facts. Basically he was setting the record straight on all that misinformation that has been put out there by the opposition and the media party. Of course being the incumbent it's expected that he would be challenged the most.
Paul Wells I thought threw softballs at the Justin, May and Mulcair while going hard on the PM. If you're hard on one you should be hard on them all. That;s only fair but then again Wells is a lefty and good friends with Justin.
Overall this debate wasn't that bad. I would say PM Harper won the debate on facts and setting the record straight. The big loser last night the consortium.
