		<description>Keep on dreaming. The latest poll in popularity as of today at the Liberal Convention Harper is way ahead of Iggy. When people were asked who had the better vision of Canada, Harper or Iggy. Harper again won by a substantial margin.</description>

		<description>David K...RE: Iggys nose stained brown...it looks as though he has got the stain down better than Harper ever did with all his fiscal stupidity in La Belle Province and his daliance with the losers at the ADQ.  You must be extremely jealous that Liberals can appeal to Quebecers in numbers that make the Haperites drool. Stupidity always comes back and hits you like a swinging door.</description>

		<description>I think changing &quot;depends&quot;  is your role in life. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Iggy is not impatient to get into power as he knows the Harperites are well on their way to self destruction and a majority LIBERAL government beckons. The country will be cleaned up fiscally after that although you will obviously be changing your &quot;depends&quot; even more often.</description>

		<description>Actually, I think you will find the criminal code will probably more adequately cover the first scenario than it would the second.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is such thing as &quot;criminal negligence&quot; which occurs when someone does something that shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other people. Whipping people into a frenzy you know or ought to know will result in them committing violence against an identifiable group could qualify. And of course, there are always the &quot;inciting hatred&quot; provisions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the other hand, in order to qualify this joke as a criminal offence, you would have to prove that the writer actually intended to counsel an offence - which in this case would be impossible to do. In this case, in order to establish criminal liability you must prove both the act and the intention to commit the act.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In any event, the only real place you would see a conviction in either scenario is on an episode of Law and Order.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a difference between whipping someone up in a frenzy (that in turn  becomes murder) and calling for murder.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My calling for the elimination of the capital gains tax could set you off in a murderous rage though I would not be responsible.  If I said that X should shoot Y, yes, the criminal code covers that.</description>

		<description>LizJ makes a good point.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Liberals rising in QC  (and Ontario in you&#039;re NDP) just puts the Dippers and Bloc in safe mode.  It isn&#039;t in their interest to trigger a General Election right now, at least until they see themselves benefiting.  They don&#039;t want to lose what they gained at Dion&#039;s expense and who can blame them?  You won&#039;t see anything from them (except from the by-elections in BC and QC) for a while.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And as far as the Quebec poll, are you really that surprised?  Iggy&#039;s nose is stained brown from trying to make gains there.  The NDP could just as well be in the same position, or the Conservatives.  Talking the talk in order to please Quebec isn&#039;t that hard.  I&#039;d say the same if CPC numbers were up in QC.  Bending over to appease them isn&#039;t my style, and Iggy is right at home in Quebec given his own antics and flip flopping.</description>

		<description>How many times have you had to change your nappy with this exciting news?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Liberals ahead of the Bloc is good news for the  large minority Conservative government.  The Bloc will get to work fixing the Liberals&#039; little red wagon.  Only a fool would get excited over a Quebec poll at this time. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When is Iggy going to pull the plug and who will be lending the hands he needs to do so?</description>

		<description>In terms of dumb things...Harper&#039;s antics last fall have dearly cost him in Quebec.
