Now that's a flip-flop!

Betting Holland will need more than twitter with the very impressive Chris Alexander running for the Conservatives in Ajax-Pickering next election. Appears he may have twigged on that fact.

Ajax-Pickering riding does not qualify as "low hanging fruit" but is within striking distance. Reviewing the 2006 campaign for some Liberal MP's having Dion make a local visit was seen as a liability to their electability. Do you think Mark Holland or Ajax Pickering liberals will view a visit from MI as a liability?

I doubt that Holland will be hanging posters with a 'Team Ignatieff' slogan on them!
But if Iffy does pay Holland a visit, he will have to run down a man Team Liberal tried to lure into it's ranks....I'm thinking embarrassment # 376 for the Libs here.

It's NOT that he changed his position, it's HOW he changed his position, imo. For me, it's a communication flaw.
In position 1, he sounds like a condescending know it all. It sounds insulting and holier than thou.

In position2, if he had said something like, " I was wrong about this communication medium, it is very cool and I stand corrected.....let's do it together...", he would have appeared to be player.
Instead, he comes across as someone unable to admit that change can be exciting and that he was an opinionated arse. Which he tends to be. Imo, of course.

Bec, 'must say I share your opinion on Holland. He's also way too angry for a politician of any stripe.

This man is nobody's flunky, grasshopper has learned well from his master - Ignatieff, on just what it is like to pay attention to detail. Problem is, he pays attention to the "WRONG" details. There are various degrees of intelligence - Mr. Holland is not one of them.

I certainly hope that Holland will be defeated in the next election. His Conservative opponent has some gravitas versus Holland who has done little to disguinish himself as an MP. Being an attack dog does not generally hold you in good stead with your electorate if their is a serious challenger. Mr. Alexander will be a formidable opponent and Holland's disgusting tactics will not work this time.

Is the Speaker of the House ever going to make a ruling on Mark Holland and Marlene Jennings concerning their possession and parading around in front of the media those many boxes of files belonging to the Conservative Party of Canada?

And why did it take them weeks to return said boxes of documents when they were clearly marked as belonging to the Conservative Party?

Typical Lieberals................................

A blast from the past via Bourque;

Senior Dion Libs are telling Bourque that the MP Mark Holland's shocking comments about the Party's secret plans to socialize Alberta's oil sands industry have caused the Party significant negative impact in the West at a time when the Liberals are desperate to build support for their cause across the land. Indeed, Holland was said to have spent a significant part of the day today cobbling together some semblance of a rationale to soothe over the scar left by his iambic utterings emitted on an open-line radio show yesterday, the gist of which was re-hashed by Charles Adler in an exclusive text for Bourque last night. Add to that one Dion kool-aid drinker, who noted by email, "Pierre, it's one thing for Stephane to unleash our pit bulls, it's another for the mutt to tripod a squirt on Alberta". According to another source inside OLO, there's a small chance Holland may be demoted from his current critic's gig. One wonders why.

Anyone from the Ajax-Pickering riding got any info on Holland's chances nest election? I noticed he was growing some facial hair for a time, today his bare face is hanging out in all it's surliness.

OOPS, the should read NEXT election.

Just another example of the Liberals' steadily imploding fortunes, since the back-room elite anointed the Harvard carpetbagger. As long as they keep Iggy at the helm, the Conservatives can bide their time until the next election, which will undoubtedly be a majority. The Liberals will still be the official opposition, but will be relegated to within single-digit percentage points of the NDP.

I am starting to believe they needed someone who was not a Liberal during Adscam. Looking at the negative press, task force being started, we might be witness to a purge in Quebec in the next six-twelve months.

To the credit of the Liberals in their brilliant attempt to frame logos, novelty cheques equivalent to Adscam they reinforce their past bad behaviour.

I think Ajax - Pickering is going to be one of those ridings the Liberal$ are going to kiss goodbye for a long, long time.

Canadians are waking up to the reality that Liberal$ seem to consistently talk out of both sides of their mouths.

I don't think there is any floor in sight as to how far that they can fall. A new leader (a left winger) and a merger with the NDP seems to me like their only option. .

When the PM used a media consultant (so they said) and when Preston Manning changed his hair style and glasses, the media went wild for days/months.
Why no coverage of Holland's new hair style, and didn't he used to have black hair.

Let's just say, Holland can change his hair, grow facial hair and who cares, he's far down the political totem pole and his personality is the grease that will keep him there.
