I think Mr.Harper said “god bless Canada” when he finihed a speech. What’s that all about? Now he’s embracing the bloc. I’m all for sharing the wealth with Quebec but it doesn’t make me feel really confident nowthat the bloc and the tories are buddies. I believe what’s good for Quebec may not always be good for the rest of Canada. Quebec has a great child care plan that their tory buddies have denied the rest of Canada. I think it’s scary times for Canada.

Stephen Harper seems to be the Canadian version of a US republican. The Conservative Party is really the Reform Party of western Canada, and there is nothing liberal or left leaning about our Liberal Party. In fact the Liberal Party of today is more like the old Progressive Conservatives, at least in the fiscal sense. We no longer really have a Liberal Party except in name only, though they may be the lesser of the two evils at the moment.

(Remainder of comment deleted. I’m not unsympathetic to what you’re saying here, Jak, but this isn’t the topic of the post, which is about blogging NDP candidates and campaigns. If anyone wants to read the rest of Jak’s comment, I’m happy to forward it by e-mail. Ditto the lengthy comment from an independent candidate in Calgary Northeast, which was a cut and paste from his own web site.)

Careful Rob, trackbacks to your own blog can create a black hole and warp spacetime. That might mean Conservative majority depending on where we land…

Hi Rob,

I just came across your NDP blog list and thought Iâ€™d let you know about mine (seeing as how a) Iâ€™m an NDP candidate and b) I wasnâ€™t listed). Iâ€™d like to think my blog is at times funny and worth a read. Lately however, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend towards overt declarations of love and affection for various conservative leaders.

From the campaign trail,

Patrick Arnell
NDP Candidate Calgary East

Check out this blog from http://www.primetimecrime.com .

And Rob says: I’ve deleted the rest of the comment, which was a cut-and-paste of a 500-word blog post in its entirety. (You can read it here.)Â Sorry, Dean, but this thread is about NDP candidates with blogs and I’d like to keep it on topic. There are going to be thousands of blog posts about the election; linking to all of them (much less repeating them verbatim) isn’t what I’m aiming to do here.

And don't forget the original NDP bloggers at Blogging Dipperseven if they aren't running. And hey shouldn't this page itself be up at NDP.ca?

[...] And what if we were to bring these NDP Blogs as .RSS news feeds in to this site? Perhaps Paul Dewar’s … Paul Summerville’s…. or the Blogging Dippers? But for sure Pierre Ducasse’s!! [...]
