| 5. Belinda Stronach will probably run |
|
Maybe Michael Ignatieff. At least unlike the last three leaders (Turner, Chretian and Martin) it won't be an annointing. It hurts the Liberals to have a leader who feels entitled to the position.

| 3. I don't hate him that much |
|
Not like Chretien. I hated him with a passion.
And it's not like Martin was invovled with the scandal. Sure, he was Finance Minister but he wasn't part of the Chretien/Gagliano/Guiter cabal.
And remember, when the scam started, Martin and Chretien were going their separate ways. Towards the end, they were using lawyers to talk to each other.

a)Anne McClellan

| 9. You'll be pleased to learn, then... |
|
...that both Pettigrew and McClellan lost. I know I am. Couldn't stand either of them. Pettigrew was an idiot and McClellan was a LINO. Good riddance.

| 10. Finally, someone who agrees with me! |
|
I can't even convince my wife that they're scum.
Well, she saw Pettigrew on Fahrenheit 9/11 and now she knows about him.

| 7. Not a fan of his, but the best thing about Chretien... |
|
...was the way he explained our refusal to fight in Iraq. In fact, it was my first sigline when I joined DU:
"I don't know, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof is a proof? A proof is a proof and when you have a good proof it's because it's proven."
You'd think ol' george would've understood when explained that way. :rofl:
