as somebody who has voted liberal more than once solely because i was concerned about funny ndp economic positions, i have to state that i'm a little confused. linda mcquaig strikes me as a pretty good representative of "modern liberal' economics. strangely, the liberal party's response was to hire somebody that seems to be to her right.

silly conservative rhetoric aside, economics was always the liberals' strong point. people knew better than to listen to the foolishness coming from the conservatives (which always led to tough economic times, and broken budgets), and the naivete coming from the ndp which would no doubt lead to a systemic collapse in ways that maybe people weren't really interested in. the liberals were the only party that made any sense in the economic sphere. it's the reason they won so often.

but, recently, it seems like that's been shifting. nowadays, the liberals seem to be as stupid as the conservatives when it comes to economics, and the ndp have really moved into the place the liberals were in.

the conclusion is that the people that would have previously had the good sense to keep the liberals in power should be voting for the ndp. but, whether that happens or not is another question.

i think the vast majority of liberal voters in that riding, and any other, would prefer linda.

so, what does that say of justin's decision, here? both on the level of his ability to make decisions (this is a very stupid decision) and on his ideological persuasion?

in truth, those are empty questions. he didn't pick chrystia freeland, and the people that did picked her to teach him about a topic he knows almost nothing about.

there's no clothes on this guy.
