Has anyone heard from the usually anxious to be seen and heard Jack Layton lately? I can't remember the last time I read an article about what Jack Layton thinks about such things as more stimulus, or the Auto Industry or G20 priorities or anything else for that matter. Maybe I'm just not reading the right sources, but it seems to me that Jack is unusually quiet. Especially for Jack.
When I read a link from the Toronto Star by Chantal Hebert provided by Dee earlier, I got to wondering why we aren't hearing from him? That article points to a poll done by Leger, which indicates Canadians coast to coast largely agree on something for a change. No bailout for GM and Chrysler. According to Hebert, only 15% of Canadians support bailing them out, and even in Ontario there is only 17% who support it.
So, back to my thought, why aren't we hearing from bouncy Jack?

Job losses worry Harper: he could become victim too, he says

The Canadian Press
He says he is concerned that many Canadians will be losing their jobs because of the bad economic times and that he may also wind up being a victim and lose his job.
In a speech and news conference from London, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tried to put the difficulties into perspective, saying the recession is mild compared with what Canada's early immigrants faced when they came to the new land with nothing.

Compared to these two statements from the best Canada has to offer I`d say silent Jack is looking too brilliant for his smile just by keeping quiet.
Better to be silent and thought a fool..
ReplyDeleteBut it's Jack's troops who are in the cross hairs. If he doesn't speak, loudly on their behalf, they will remember him. Piss off the troops, or piss off the National Navel Gazing Association. Rock and hard place.
Oh the NDP are around. I like it that Jack has been relatively quiet.

Dee, regarding Mulcair on Flaherty's statements. A Turkey shoot. First the Turkey pokes his head up out of the grass, then it gobbles. That's when you fire. lol
ReplyDeleteHeh. Great analogy comrade.
ReplyDeleteMulcair is right about people having to live on their credit.
Yes Dee, I've mentioned that before. That is what the data supports, and explains how a large segment of the population dealt with the effects of $147 barrel of oil and all that it affected.
