The reason for the lack of posts

It's election time. I should be blogging away like crazy. But I'm not.
Why?
Well the parties are virtually indistinguishable, that's why. Every day it more spending, more spending, and no explanation of how we're going to pay for it. The MSM media keeps telling us how well we're doing, but that's really only applicable in and around Winnipeg. I'm extremely disapointed the PCs or even the Liberals are not trying to be different from the NDP, but it appears as though this really is becoming a nanny state. I keep waiting for a chicken in every pot pledge.
Don't get me wrong the NDP are out to lunch with their bipole III plan (which I suspect is their way to give the unions even more cash through a larger and more expensive project). But outside that, what is there? What's supposed to excite me? More debt? Continued reliance on Sask and Alberta?
As we continue to lose our youth to inter-provincial migration, how am I supposed to be excited about these choices?

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.

Debate on wednesday

Selinger, mcfadyen and gerrard do battle on cjob Wednesday morning. Looking forward to seeing how each do. I'm sure the union folks will be calling in with questions. Pcs and liberals better do the same

NDP candidate not allowed to run

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.

Today's NDP looks a lot like yesterday's loser

Even if he wins, he loses.

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.
