The calvacade of awesome continues.
NDP leader Jack Layton, who's party has been hurt in every election ever in time by strategic voting and the ongoing success of the Conservatives and Liberals in convincing voters that it's effectively a two-way race and who's main message in Toronto was "a vote for the NDP is NOT a wasted vote (this time)" made a stop in Saskatchewan yesterday to argue that they should vote strategically.
"Voting Liberal in Saskatchewan in almost every riding across this province does nothing but elect a Stephen Harper Conservative," he said.
Brutal hypocrisy or turnabout being fair play? You make the call.
Meanwhile technical glitches caused call display functions in Manitoba to report that calls asking people to vote Conservative were coming from the U.S Senate. The jokes pretty much write themselves.
As long as I'm harping on the Conservatives (aren't I just PRECIOUS?) check out this choice CBC quotation of an economist on Harper's reduction to the GST: "Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid," he said.
According to Dose magazine today, a 2% reduction in the GST would give the average Canadian family $400/year. You know, a cup of coffee a day. What Sally Struthers wants you to pay to help a starving child in Africa.
