My view - based on reading Hughie Segal's Book Reflections of a Happy Warrior in the Conservative Crusade is - sooner or later the Libs will want to try for a majority - hence another election is a given - but when? Papers today said not for a while so parties can rebuild their funds. I would expect lots of barbecue action over the summer.
But economy could hit bumps - USA spending in the gulf is may be driving up price of credit and thus interest rates which may prevent Paul Martin from delivering the payola to his stooges on the left. So the less cash the less cooperation and the more chance of a snap vote.
Who ever is not in the government now would seem to have a vested interest in trying to put together the clearest picture of what happened at SponsorGATE and try and link it to thieves in the ruling party. Make them look bad and just keep pointing at the thieves. Show the proof - tell the voter to judge. Voter not stupid but voter did not have the proof to convict this time around.
Internal - knee cappers. If anyone mouths off - its heads will roll time. They must be absolutely brutal.
External - JOB JOB JOBS - they have to have a plan for expansion of the economy in the face of the decline of manufacturing. Sooner or later the Auto industry of which half is USA driven (and we are not USA lovers are we Paul Martin?)
will implode and take the Ontario economy and the Ontari-ari-OWE good times parade down the tubes with it. Its already happened in the rust belt from Buffalo to Rochester.
When that happens you will have Medical coverage - a GP doing MIR rooms in every tin pot town. Need a consultation - on the plane to TO - paid by the government and your taxes from your snow plow job, and your kids job and your wife's job at Tim Horton's. And when they patch you up you can come back to Tin Pot township. And the jobs will be down south of the Rio Grande if you get my drift.
And DND you ask? Well what of it? Its going on sleep mode for a year or two to save deployment $ and build up the eqpt inventory. Just my guess of the elevator talk at NDHQ. I could be wrong but I don't see the uniformed branched of PWGSC planning any expansion.
Did you enjoy your tax free tours boys and girls?
Some tongue and cheek here but on the whole - what else can we do? If the deployment force = the regulars and we can't expand the reserves or call them out then its a limited sum game. So take a break and enjoy your TOUR in Pet.
Me? I ain't been on a "tour" as it`s known these days - except for my 6 months patrolling the Czech border with 4 Bde in 73 - I am the guy who caused 10 million Godless Commie Russians to blink - freaked out the KGB, and made the cracks appear in the Warsaw Pact - which caused the Berlin Wall to fall in 89.
You dig? - :rocket:
