Hey sofa, I played with my kids today... I feel much better :O) On the dispute I think Harper handled Stronach poorly. If he is a man of such strong principle (I think he is and I think he is honest FWIW) that he had to deliver Stronach an ultimatum as he apparently did then he should have been prepared for Stronachs's actions, even expected them ... that is my point. Anything less is naive. Telling her she had no future had no beneficial effect and sounded like a tantrum to me. If I ever had a boss tell me I had no future.. I'd be thinking fast... I do not respect Stronach at all and yes I think she is a whore (hence my initial more saccharine use of the Paris Hilton analogy...and per my dictionary link to fresc) as you may have assumed but I am frankly surprised at Harpers naivety after the revelation of the type of meeting they had.. As to the social issues I guess I agree.. I posted a free vote should be had for such things... The courts shouldn't decide these social issues, parliament should by free vote... My comment on Gay marriage was simply that I'm ambivalent on the issue... while I'm not ambivalent on abortion... and think some form of assisted suicide should be legal.. but I would accept a free vote ... after seeing how some folks think Harper is out to destroy Canada with his buddy Duceppe I'm reticent to accept referenda on these issues... His priorities are "good government" viz the BNA Act. That he's in opposition means he doesn't get to set the agenda. EXACTLY... and that should remain his focus and that of his MPs... until elected and people no they are not monsters... Then he can go for mandates on the other issues... it's reality.... he needs Ontario otherwise he's wasting his time... Harper has to realise job one was ending the corruption in Ottawa and giving the country a viable alternative... restore the checks an balances... There is time afterwards once you have an accepted party... It is a fine line but there are priorities... any good manager knows that.. Now off to bed for me.. I think I'm repeating myself.. g'night Kastel
