Well, Martin is a goner. Who should succeed him as Liberal leader?

   

Why not Ken Dryden on list? He's probably got the best chance of all.

   

Who cares the Liberals are done for.

   

I would have added a few others to the list but it seems there's a limit to the number of choices you can add to a poll. Bummer.

   

Not by a long shot. All kinds of predictions were being made to the effect that the Libs were going to be reduced to fewer than 70 seats. Under the circumstances they fared surprisingly well. A wisely chosen successor to Martin could make life very difficult for the other parties in the next election.

If they choose Belinda Stronach, on the other hand, they are toast!

   

In these early days I’d guess McKenna, but Tobin’s a personal favourite.

   

Wow the libs met low expectations. It was a matter of luck it can't last. they didn't get one seat in Alberta, the parrties in debt (which has to be remidied before the Federal Accountability Act passes of forget about it.), and Tobin is a nut he can't save them.

   

Sorry but are you seriously putting forward the idea that the liberals would cease to exist as a party? If so you don't understand politics very well.......

The cons were knocked out of politics for 12 years........the liberals may not win for a while, but I guarantee there will be a Liberal Party as long as Canada exists, just as there will be a Conservative Party.....The thing is only one is in power at a time......that how politics works....back and forth....back and forth....

And as to there not being a Liberal elected in Alberta? I hate to say it, but you don't need to elect people in Alberta in order to control the gov't.....In fact, there are now much more Conservative MPs from Ontario then from Alberta........There are two provinces that elect governments, Ontario and Quebec......thats the funny thing about democracy.... population is power...

   

If I'm not mistaken, when the Liberals took power from the cons in the 1990s the cons were reduced to less than 12 seats, and didn't even qualify as a political party......

When the liberals are reduced to less than 12 seats....come to talk to me...

When they only lose by about 13 seats......I would hardly call it a decisive victory/defeat...

   

Still there's the question of leadership and the debt, without corperate support it can never be remedied,

   

I'm assuming the millions of Canadian voters who believe in Liberal Ideals and values would care that they're done for.

   

Back on topic.

I could vote for Brian Tobin.

   

Who should take up the post as head of the Ontario Liberal Mob? Well that's easy. That would be John Manley.

John Manley was appointed Minister of Industry in November, 1993. He was given additional responsibilities as Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the Federal Office of Regional Development - Quebec, and Western Economic Diversification in January 1996. Mr. Manley was assisted in these duties by three Secretaries of State.

He was also responsible for a number of Government agencies including the Standards Council, the Canadian Space Agency, the National Research Council, Statics Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada, the Canadian Tourism Commission, the Natural Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Supported by these organizations, Mr.Manley and his colleagues were given an important part to play in making sure that there are jobs and economic growth in Canada. Under his leadership, this team is acting to build a positive entrepreneurial climate and help small businesses grow; to expand markets for jobs and growth through trade; to create an efficient and modern infrastructure; and to make technology work for Canada. You can check out his many jobs through his website.

And, if that isn't enough. He has publically stated he would dump the monarchy and turn Canada into a government built upon the Repubic model...And you thought Harper had an agenda!

Love Always,

Samantha

   

Why not Brian AND Frank? That would be a formidable combo of PM and DPM.
