If Harper wants to go he will once again break his own law and call one.

Iggy has a base of ideas he now needs to try out and pick the ones Canadians want and that are left of Harpercrite.
I see no leadership from the Tories who do anything to simply stay in power including avoiding any issues that could cause an election. Harper is terrified to face the electorate and you you know it only too well. Your buffonery on Harper's behalf is simply typical Tory nonsense

Mr. Baird parried questions about the links of a Conservative senator to Benoit Labonte — a central figure in the Québec scandal — by referring to a Liberal staffer who once worked for Mr. Labonte. On Navigator, he mentioned the names of Warren Kinsella and Robin Sears as former and current employees of the firm. In other words, the answer to both questions was: “If anything untoward has been going on, they did it too.”
Mr. Baird’s answers, then, are devoid of logic. They are also ethically bankrupt. And, they are guaranteed to increase the cynicism of Canadians who — in regard to our system of government — would say a pox on both your houses.

Baird’s bluster
Norman Spector
He’s loud. He doesn’t back down in the face of embarrassing questions. And, I’ll grant you, John Baird can be entertaining from time to time in Question Period — though not as often as it might appear from the enthusiasm of Conservative MP’s sitting behind him.
That said, strip away the bluster and the Minister of Transport’s answers today to questions about possible Conservative links to the scandal roiling Québec, and to the Navigator lobbying firm, are without logic.

DEAR JOHN LETTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear John:
I am sitting above you in the House of Commons gallery as I write this.
Paul Szabo just asked you a very sensible and fair question about Navigator, the firm where I once had the misfortune to work. Years ago.
You did not answer the question - specifically, on why the firm is being investigated right now for its relationship to the Reform-Conservative government. You instead parried with a lame answer about me working there. Lame, John. Lame.
Here's an offer: let's go on TV together, you and I, and talk candidly about that firm and your relationship - and your party's - relationship with it. What say?
Sincerely, etc.
Warren
PS - H1N1 isn't even remotely funny, John.
