about the Liberal Party; go through an entire renewale process including policies, organization and ethos or just ride things out, wait for the Conservatives to fail and reclaim your position as the "Natural Governing Party? Considering the actions of "Liberal Leadership candidate Joe Volpe" (notice the none to subtle use of scare quotes) and this
, (h/t Andrew Coyne)
...A number of Liberals are using taxpayer-funded parliamentary offices to promote party leadership bids and would be breaking federal election laws if they fail to refund the public purse. Supporters of at least eight of the 11 leadership candidates have used MPs' offices on Parliament Hill to distribute partisan campaign material, according to e-mails obtained by The Canadian Press. During parliamentary business hours, offices have churned out invitations on campaign letterhead to meet candidates, attend leadership launches, or get together with campaign staff. One Liberal MP called the practice unethical and said it runs deeper than just e-mails. "This is the tip of the iceberg," he said. "There are interns being used to do (campaign) work, there's the odd phone call to twist a colleague's arm. "But that's not traceable."
you can figure out where the Liberal Party is. But if you continually do these things and you still get no less than 31% of the vote why would you stop?

the wonderfully honest Liberal Party of Canada.
No legal hair to fine to split, no Federal law that shouldn’t be bent, warped, twisted and/or pretzled.
I’m ready to put them back in power, give them the keys to the Treasury

[B]THIS IS A c/p OF AN ACTUAL LETTER SENT TO THE LIBERAL PARTY. May 2/2006
I think the ideas are GREAT!! so let the liberals know, fax them (number below) and lets Blog the Crap out of this EVERYWHERE!! could be Great for all Canadians.
…………..
Attention Liberal Party of Canada, Do you want to WIN! The next Election in Canada? If so, Please continue to read this letter.
I am a 46-year-old Canadian Male, Liberal supporter and since the Trudeau years I have followed politics, and I have NEVER FAILED to know the outcome of an Election way before Election Day. For example, this last election, I told everyone it would be a P.C. minority Government.
The next Election the Liberals have will be there most important election of the next 25 years for them, but for this to happen the people of Canada need to be taken care of in a way that is far to quickly slipping away. And the next leader must have the LOOK and CONFIDENCE of a Leader.
Below I will outline a strategy, which may seem a far reach, but if my party can achieve it, it will surely Capture the Hearts of all Canadians, and become the Best Party it once was.
If you follow most of the requests below, you will be the Next Majority Party in Canada for a Long Time. Failure to do so, and you will lose.
1) You Must make the New Leader Ken Dryden ( Never met him, do not know him, I just know he is your man), he has the LOOK of trust, and he has already endeared himself to all Canadians long ago. If he is not your Leader you will Lose.
2) You Must extend paid education through College & University. This will be expensive at first, but the benefit of so many educated Canadians after 10 years, will bring the Income Tax back to us from them too. Canada would be the envy of the World, and the most educated Country around. ( I have details on this issue if you are interested, and it’s not as expensive as it sounds, considering the final outcome and benefits.)
3) Addressing above, anyone who chooses to leave Canada and work in another Country must either pay back all expenses incurred in there education, or in the case of Dr.’s (etc..) a NO OPTION 5yr. Work in Northern Ontario, or anywhere else in Canada we need them to pay us back, then you can go work in the USA, or outside Canada. ( I have details on this issue if you are interested, and its final outcome and benefits.)
4) It is time we extend Health Care to include Glasses and Dental for all Canadians. Going back to point (2) A Healthier, more Educated Canada, has the ability to pay me Income Tax for a longer period of time. ( I have details on this issue if you are interested, and its final outcome and benefits.)
5) It is way past due for us to Buy our Military a few new pieces of equipment, such As Helicopters, etc.. STOP BUYING AND FIXING OLD JUNK, THEY DESERVE BETTER.
6) You MUST! Once again take control of Natural gas, and Hydro soaring rates. This situation is spiraling out of control, and most Canadians are now paying 4 times or MORE! What they once did for Heat and Electricity. You need to bring back a Government watch dog, and remember many people are in serious need of help. There is no reason any Canadian should have to pay so much, and be told it is because the USA will buy it at that price.
7) The Cost for this will not be Small, but the future benefits to Canada and
Canadians is EXTRODINARY! It is time for Canada to once again LEAD not
Follow our American neighbors.
8) CANADIANS WILL NOT MIND HAVING TO GIVE YOU 1% MORE IN
TAX, BUT NOW IS THE TIME ALL CANADIANS NEED SOME MAJOR
CHANGES IN THIS ONCE GREAT COUNTRY. SPEND MONEY, NEVER MIND THE DEFICIT RIGHT NOW, AS LONG AS YOU CAN SHOW THE
BENEFITS IIN THE LONG RUN, CANADIANS WILL!! TRUST YOU. BUT
YOU MUST!! DELIVER ASAP.
There is No Charge for this Guaranteed Way to Win the Next Election, Just remember me some day.
Should you not at least try implementing the MAJOR CHANGES I list above, Leader and all. You will Lose
YOU WILL NOT WIN THE NEXT ELECTION. CANADIANS WANT MAJOR GOOD CHANGES, GIVE TO THEM…. THEY DESERRVE IT!!
Feel free to contact me if you would like more advice, I am never wrong when it comes to some things, especially Election Wins.
………………..
Feel Free to Paste this on BLOGS EVERYWHERE! And Maybe! The Liberal Party will finally wake up to what Canadians want.
LETS BLOG THIS EVERYWHERE PEEPS!!

I know the Boss post above is just political spam but I dislike it when someone says “what Canadians want”. I’m Canadian and I do not want these policies implemented. You do not speak for me.
Thanks, just had to get that off my chest.
