Liberals pointed towards the Communist System
I don't think the Liberals are moving to the far left. The reason the Liberals have won for the last 12 years is because they moved to the right.
Their financial policies have been conservative, so the Conservatives have never had any policies to run on, since the Liberals already have conservative policies....
It has forced the Conservatives to move far right and talk about things like same sex marriage......
Now Harper is "apparently" trying to move more towards the centre. But his tax plan is BS, and he will actually be raising taxes.....His child care plan is BS, after taxes and other lost benefits, most families will get $1200, but only about $300 goes in their pocket, they lose the rest to various gov'ts......
The Liberals need to keep being financially conservative. That will bring people back from the NDP, and from the Conservatives.....And they need to paint the Conservatives as being financially unstable, showing their 5 priorities for what they are: all looks and no meat.
Humorous bit:

Fresh-minted Liberal leadership contenders are looking to the left for inspiration, according to media headlines.
Ah, yes…the left!
Far be it for me to discourage them from finding inspiration under whatever rock suits them. Lord knows, after thirteen years of Chretien/Martin wilderness, they need it. But, let’s not delude ourselves. The left is the area of easy refuge of all those wishing to avoid hard decisions. Decisions which invariably confront those who replace a government lost in driftless leftward meanderings.
The left is the place where intentions are so good, that their measure, by the crass yardstick of reality, is never necessary. Where one can justify practically all means, because the end is never in question. Where lies, theft and abuse of trust are just tools for the betterment of Canada. As long as you keep that flag defensively wrapped around you while encouraging all of Canada’s aspirants to victimhood with open arms, you can justify anything.
Hey, I have an idea for all those Liberals out there who see salvation to the left. Come on, you know you want to stray further that way, anyway. Making empty promises is so much easier from NDP territory. What you need is a leader who undisputably fills that vast void.
Now take Buzz Hargrove. He just got excommunicated from the NDP, whose whimsy has led them to believe that they can do without him. He has already declared the Liberals to be his new-found friends - along with the BQ. And he has the requisite ego.
Come on Buzz, why not go for the Liberal leadership. It’s a match made in heaven.
