you mean that “meagre” campaign team that beat your candidate by the same margin as 2006? you do realise that with the lower voter turnout that means you lost by a bigger percentage, right?

i suppose we’ll see Liberals out in force opposing the SmartCentres Wal-Mart complex and requesting that your provincial buddies shut down the Portlands Energy Centre and cancel plans to run a high-voltage trasmission line right through our neighbourhood?

no? didn’t think so.

Gabe, is this really a productive use of your time? Don’t you have some lectures to go to? Haven’t seen you in the quad recently…
By the by, you look dead sexy in your vids.

Comment on Jack’s a hypocrite. Criticises Tories for not showing up to debates. by Darren

Are you serious? While it is important to attend as many all-candidates events as possible, no leader of a party is able to make it to every single one in their riding in light of all their other responsibilities (e.g. making their policies known to Canadians across the country and bringing support to party candidates in other ridings). Your argument is pretty lame.

“Right under Jack’s ad, it says “Support the Drudge Report. Visit our Advertisers.” Support the Drudge Report? Support the Drudge Report? Thanks Jack.”

Actually, it’s YOU who are supporting Drudge by visiting his site. I seriously doubt the NDP bought a banner on one of the most visited sites in America. It was most likely a google ad, which was generated in response to your Canada IP and/or a search for Canadian politics.

Comment on Jack Layton makes Transit Announcement in Toronto… Just not Toronto-Danforth by global citizen

You are right on about Olivia Chow being terrifed about Liberal challenger Christine Innes. Christine is a lawyer an community activist. Olivia is following Jack’s lead and cancelling debates at the last minute. Not to mention the vandalism happening to election signs, etc. in Trinity-Spadina. It is getting UGLY in Olivia’s riding.

it was agreed upon by the organisers Peter would stand in for Jack. that means all the candidates knew beforehand too and agreed to it.

Seriously, get a life…instead of talking about ‘representation’ how about you focus on proportional representation and do something useful such as watch mr. dion’s lack of participation in his riding’s debates. shameful.

well gabe, then you would know that the organisers, all of them, had agreed to the format and for Tabuns as a stand in, BEFORE the debate.

your website here is a joke.

jack is in the riding as much as a federal MP, expected to be in Ottawa, can be, and you know that.

as well, it is a long standing tradition that Leaders of national parties are afforded the courtesy of a stand in for local riding events if their national tour prevents them from attending. as a political science student you should be well aware of this.

Harper and Dion are afforded the same courtesy. In fact, just last week on CBC radio 1, they announced that Dion would be appearing to answer questions on the call in, and Bob Rae appeared instead, and the host was unaware of the switch. when asked about it, Bob replied….we are all on the same team so it doesn’t matter who appears.

Jack will be here tomorrow if you’d care to speak with him personally about it.

i think you’re full of it buddy and this site says more about your juvenile shenanigans that it does about Jack’s integrity.

BTW, your Liberal candidate, Andrew Lang supports both the Big Box on Eastern and the Portlands Energy Centre, both opposed by almost all of the community and the City.

way to support the community.
