Hey, Canuckitards! Whaddaya think of the PC-CA romance?

[ironflange]

Well, we've managed to get a horse and a goat into bed; let's see if they can manage to produce an offspring before one or the other gets fed up with the whole weird scene.

1. They are already

questioning it, and planning sabotage. :D

[HEyHEY]

4. Come on Mapes it'll be funny

I can't wait for this..I even heard that they may bring old stocky back from the dead...ooohhhwahahaha

[Maple]

8. Yes Stock may run for the leadership

which should provide days and weeks of entertainment for the whole family! :D

[HEyHEY]

9. Yeah that VCR is gonna be busy

Taping the news and alll...when the whole fiasoc is over, I wil edit it as a blooper reel and sell it on e-bay.

10. I kind of miss ol' Stock

You could count on him to do or say something really crazy on a regular basis. "Sure, Mr Day, it would be a great idea for you to show up for your first press conference wearing a wetsuit and riding on a jet-ski."

Harper is nauseatingly boring, and I don't think McKay is much better.

[HEyHEY]

11. Oh yes the "I wanna be Trudeau" Stunt.

But all kidding aside, after awhile Stockwell was so pathetic that I couldn't bear to watch him.

12. Congrats ironflange!! 200 posts

:toast:

[TrogL]

14. They're both policy wonks

So they got together and made a nice policy decision.

Nobody checked with the grass roots of either party.

This is gonna be so much fun!

2. A bit more background info. would help. Totally clueless here.....

in "the greater Toronto area". grin.

[Maple]

3. The CA party

and the PC party leaders have signed a deal to merge.

The members of both political parties aren't as sure about the bargain.

Both are in the basement in the polls.

6. Okay thanks!!! Yes, saw this in the newspaper today. snicker. -nm

5. It's big big news here in Calgary.

It's going to be fun to see what a royally pissed-off David Orchard is going to do. I think we'll wind up with two parties still, but two different ones.

[pink_poodle]

7. As long as the peeps get what we want. As if! -nm

[TrogL]

15. CBC news said

Orchard is furious, calling McKay a traitor.

[Interrobang]

13. Looks like the PCs done forgot what that "P" stands for!

Anybody who'd want to get in bed with the C*R*A*P*s (I'm never going to call them the just plain "Alliance" after they so aptly named themselves the other) doesn't deserve to be called a "Progressive Conservative." Maybe they should change the name of the party to "REgressive Conservatives."

Then again, it's not going to matter a fart in a windstorm come the next Federal election anyway. I wonder if they'll actually manage to have official party status this time around or not.

[TrogL]

16. But that's the first plank in the platform

The new party is to be "progressive socially". I just wonder what the Reform/Alliance/Freeper-types have to say about that.

[Tyler Durden]

17. Like those PC neo-con wannabees were PROGRESSIVES.

They sure tried like HELL to make Ontario the 51st state. NICE that they failed so miserably, but sad that it took so long to figure out the scam.

[Swede]

18. Orchard will not stand for it.

He has nothing in common with the relegious right of the CA.

[HEyHEY]

19. Well, the CA isn't exactly "The religious right"

They're nothing like they have in the states.
