Iggy is doing what the Liberals do best: make demands from the government but offer no alternatives of their own. That is why he didn't want an election at any cost, because the Liberals have no platform or position, or if they do no one outside the party knows what it is. Worse, Iggy gives out homework assignments to the government and thinks he can just give a pass or fail grade, send the country into election and no one is going to have issue becasue he's the all powerful Ig. What arrogance!
As time passes poor old Iggy's need for a biggy is beginning to wilt and wither.
Hold Harper accountable?
Compromise?
Not even close.
Ignatieff said, without question, that we would have an election if Harper didn't adobt the Liberal idea of the 360 hours to qualify for IE.
All Ignatieff got was panel of do-godders to look into EI.
Wow. Awesome.
The only compromise was Harper allowing The Professor to dither for 3 days to save a little face after getting nothing that he demanded.
A comment on the stimulus package.
The Canadian Medical Association (or it's equivalent) has weighed in on the new economic stimulus package.
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to
make any rash moves.
The Gastroenteritis's had sort of a gut feeling about it,
but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a
misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the
Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists
thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said,
"This puts a whole new face on the matter."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the
Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The
Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists
didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to
the assholes in Ottawa .
