| stof said: Well that's definately the saddest thing I've seen on these forums yet. On a happier note. I think the Loonie is so high because it's celebrating the NDP's byelection win in Quebec! |
I don't want to ruin the party, but NPD (Sorry, I want to say it in French^^) victory in Outremont was not caused by any interest from Quebecers toward the NPD. It was mainly caused by Thomas Mulcair, a really popular guy here now that he blamed Jean Charest in the Orford conflict and left the PLQ, and to the fact that Stephane Dion is as charismatic as a 2x12 piece of wood^^ (And also that the liberal are really struggling here since the sponsoring scandal.)
Everybody here think that Jack Layton is funny and a great guy, but nobody votes for him, it has always been like that, probably because NPD is a really centrist party that wants to control everything (In a good way, but still, taking powers that belong to the provinces)
But I have to say that I was really happy to see them beat the Liberals^^
