Well, I'm probably ideologically somewhere around where the Liberals were under Chretien. Martin may be a bit far right for my tastes... we'll have to see, he hasn't actually managed to commit to anything of substance yet. However, this election, I will be voting NDP, for the simple reason that 1.) Randy White © is going to win by a landslide anyways, 2.) a favourite professor of mine is running for the NDP, and 3.) I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, if this government IS a minority, the Liberal dependence on the NDP might drag them back to where I like them to be in terms of social issues/programs, etc. (I know, fat chance)

Damn rights. If this scandal had come up under his watch, it would have been over with a wink and a smile, just like all of the other ones were! ;) Really, I'm willing to see a (comparatively) paltry 100 million dollars go missing if it means that I don't have to hear from prominent separatists every five years!
*As an interesting aside*
I was discussing party strategy with the president of the BC Young Liberals, and he was saying that the Liberals are fairly confident that in the event of any doubt as to whether the Conservatives may squeak into power, they expect many current (according to the polls) Bloc ridings in Quebec to vote Liberal. Could be interesting to see if that ever comes to be.

Nor I, nor any man that is,
