So, is Paul Martin offside in his TV address tomorrow?

[HEyHEY]

Hey I don't want the Cons in either but it's true, this IS a Liberal party crisis, not a Canadian crisis.

What's with Quebec issues and sparking emergency TV addresses anyway?

Background: Liberal party is currently FUCKED.

1. Offside??

All he's doing is talking to the country. It's not an emergency.

Cons are holding up parliamentary business though

[HEyHEY]

2. But, he's talking to the country because his party is in trouble

Who's paying for the address? THe Taxpayer or the liberal party?

[Maple]

4. He's talking to the country

because he wants to talk to the country.

PMs can do that ya know.

And the country's business is being held up, while the Opposition puts on a circus.

Makes the country appear unstable, harms the economy...all that stuff.

3. He's in damage control mode.

Everybody is seeing the sponsorship scandal and thinking the Liberal Party is corrupt, time to vote them out. The Liberal party is a pro-corporate party run by a former CEO, so i can care less what happens to them. Hopefully the NDP will benefit, but the Conservative Party will come out the winner in this mess.

5. But we don't want

the Conservative party in there.

6. I think if the Tories have meetings with Nfld Premiers and try and

get 'seating' at the trial in Minnesota (?) over mad cows.. I think the PM can do pretty much whatever he wants.

It would be stupid to not use all the tools available to you when the other side is running around, pretending to be in power when they didn't win the election.
