Crass NDP too opportunistic

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Selinger-dedicates-re-election-drive-to-Layton-128638048.html

Personally, I feel this "dedication" is crass opportunism. Using Layton's death to try and get a bump at the polls feels extremely tacky, especially when you consider the federal NDP and provincial NDP don't see eye-to-eye on a number of issues - crime and gun control being the two most obvious.
This could backfire.

NDP candidate not allowed to run

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/NDP-disallows-Mangat-to-be-candidate-in-St-Norbert-127889198.html

There's more to this story and I'm certain Mangat will speak publicly about it. All I'll say for now is that I'm sure the NDP don't want this story in the papers.

Heather Mallick goes too far

I enjoy great debate and great points from both the left and right, even if I don't always agree.
Then there's Heather Mallick. A man-hating extreme lefty. She probably thinks the NDP is too right wing.
If you don't know who she is, read this. And know that you can go too far when writing columns. Personally, I was glad to see her get sued and the Toronto Star forced to apologize on her behalf.

Orange and Hi there

I see Orange Rod popped back, getting ultra-feminist and asking for flags to be lowered. A silly, NDP-type request. Yes it's sad to see Mrs. Asper pass away, but that's hardly a reason to lower the flags. That should be left for things such as military and prime ministers and such.
As for Hi There, has anyone noticed he's not posting on the FP anymore? I wonder if he's one of these people who have been banned by the paper for posting. I would not doubt it, based on some of his idiotic posts.
The NDP are sure turning into a mean-spirited party as the election draws near.
