This is the kind of Son of a b*tch that we have running our country up here. The Liberals lost a seat to the Conservatives in an important bi-election in an important riding, the other day, and Chretien blames a guy who's sick, saying he should've known when to step down, when it's obvious Chretien himself is the one who should've stepped down much sooner. The only good thing is, the longer the prat stays, the more he's going to tick off his voters. Some more good news? While Canada has had a problem with vote splitting between our two right wing parties, it looks like vote splitting is starting to occur on the left as well. Also - there are overtures from the right that they are in informal talks about uniting.

"Mr. Richardson had been sick for a long time and perhaps he waited too long to resign," the PM said. Pot, kettle, black.
Although it's nice that the liberals lost a seat, the fact that the PC won and not the CA will likley encourage the PC's to continue their resitance to uniting the two right wing parties.

Chretien blames a guy who's sick, saying he should've known when to step down, Ivan, I lived in the Perth riding, Stratford to be exact , for over 20 years. Several of my relatives and friends who still live there knew during the election of 2000 that Richardson had the early stages of Alzheimer's . One relative, a long time strong Liberal , heard rumors and called his office. She was told that Richardson's staff had been and would continue to cover for him. She consequently refused to vote.
The Liberal party knew then , in 2000, he was suffering from a disease that would only get worse but in the interests of winning, ( Richardson was extremely well known and liked, a good MP for everyone and there was no replacement that would win ), the Crouton by signing Richardson's papers , not only allowed a sick man to run but encouraged him.
Chretien is a cheap shelfish little man. That's his real legacy.

The CHP is Canada's only pro-Life, pro-family federal political party, and the only federal party that endorses the principles of the Preamble to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Canadian Constitution: 'Canada was founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.'
- Gary Schellenberger, PC 10,407, 33.8
- Brian Innes, Liberal 9,413, 30.5
- Marian Meinen, Alliance 5,404, 17.5
- Sam Dinicol, NDP 4,705, 15.3
- Ron Gray, Christian Heritage 902, 2.
The Christian Heritage party can't find common cause with either the
PC or Alliance? What is the CHP, then, a bunch of ayatollahs?
