The PC Party is almost dead, as they will only be running 7 candidates in 2011, down from 25 in 2006. No I'm not talking about the Progressive Conservatives, I'm talking about the Progressive Canadians which was founded after the merger of the PC and Alliance. You know, that small cabal of so-called Tories who favoured continued vote splitting on the right to produce more Liberal governments; but alas that dream is slowly coming to an end. Sunday night I watched the first installment of "The Kennedy's", which was entertaining. There was the part about JFK's first congressional victory where his dad paid to have someone run for congress that had the exact same name as JFK's chief opponent. It is comparable.
In other news, the Work Less Party is not running any candidates in 2011. It must have been too much effort.
Good. Those hangers on were the reason for the demise of the party in the first place. Even Mulroney supported the merger - the only real successful PC since Diefenbaker.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is funding them though because our PC candidate is paid a salary by the party to run.
ReplyDeleteJoe Clark was a putts. The Stephane Dion of the "Right". Still hates Harper last I check. And by extension conservatives.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to your glorious merger, now we have 2 Liberal parties in power! Now in red and blue!
ReplyDeleteWork Less Party was actually deregistered last year, if I recall.
