Mulcair has done nothing, in my view, to distance himself from the most neoliberal aspects of Charest's government.<BR/>If he were to at least admit that those attacks were a mistke, that would be a good starting point.uncorrectedproofshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109254318080084549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627755197994529937.post-85194484097899215952007-09-28T10:10:00.000-04:002007-09-28T10:10:00.000-04:00I'd like to give him a chance.

He's being labelled a Charest Liberal all too often, on grounds which deserve clearing up.<BR/><BR/>Provincial Québec politics, particularly when he was in the mix, was divvied up between federalists, and nationalists. You'd have everyone of every sort in either party.<BR/><BR/>Certainly Mulcair might be a Liberal hack-- favouring program cuts and tax breaks; serenading the CCCE with a corporate savvy tune. We've seen this before in the person of Paul Summerville.<BR/><BR/>However, I've been at least somewhat impressed with Tom so far-- he's said nothing to really make me cringe (Paul did from the get go)... let's see where this one goes.<BR/><BR/>Lastly I might say that while I never liked McDonnough's hold on foreign affairs, it was pretty cool to have the Finance Critic, National Defense, and Foreign Affairs all covered by women. Now that the caucus is only 40% (not 42%) women, we gotta worry about that stuff!ravijohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705425045097624632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627755197994529937.post-67395197083740344722007-09-28T09:47:00.000-04:002007-09-28T09:47:00.000-04:00I completely agree.

More Liberals should follow his lead. Social democratic thinking would suggest that we be open and receptive to those who want to help us. Leave suspicion and fear to Republicans and the Conservative Party of Canada.<BR/><BR/>Scott McEwan<BR/>LGBT NDP Executive Toronto-DanforthAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551978653126151838noreply@blogger.com
