    Fair trade over free trade. - fuck that

    But anyway your right, It pretty much just advocates everything Canada already is now, except would push even more left. If I were you guys however I would hope for a younger NDP leader with new idea's and a pair of balls this time around however. If the liberals make a come back next election your dreams of overcoming the conservatives are doomed.

    Vlady boy anyone ever tell you that you ................ seem to trail off a lot?

    I didn't really like him, honestly. Although I would've rather just seen him retire than die of cancer.

    It's very sad news for the NDP. But who's now the leader of the NDP and opposition leader?

    A great loss for one of the best opposition leaders of our time. He will be missed.

    he condemned Canada to a straight forward left-right election, this is something Harper isn't going to lose for a long time. I fail to see why anyone would praise him after that fiasco.

    are you stupid? A Social Democracy and a Communist nation have nothing to do with each other.

    Stalin you never asked me, but I agree with most of the things Layton stood for, and I do respect him. When you posted the thread a while back about Layton being diagnosed with cancer, I was one of the guys that said "Oh no!". I just thought that you went out of line insulting MayorEmanuel because he doesn't respect Layton as much as you do. And I never "shit all over" anyones' legacy. The simple fact that you said that to me makes you no better than that which you despise. And you don't even know me. But whatever, think what you wish about me.

    Not at all, the man died a few hours ago and instead of paying his respect to the man he takes a dump on all this accomplishments. He was a human being who deserves some respect, he's lucky I don't out right ban him.

    every human being deserves respect in their darkest hour.

    Fuck all of you who've been ignorant today, it's a joke yesterday when bad shit doesn't happen, but it's not fucking acceptable today, directed at the man who died.

    This, if Stephan Harper died, even though I dislike him intensely and his political views, I am not going to be like "Why would anyone like that man, he didn't do anything worthy of my respect." Only a disgusting human being would do that. I would honorably pay my respects to some one who died while being in the service of my country.

    Everyone flips out when Che disrespects the soldiers the who died in Afghanistan and rightly so, but when I get upset over the fact people are disrespecting a great man who gave his life selfless to this country am I the bad guy. You people need to get a grip.
