Ed Broadbent, who was a spectacular failure as a leader of the New Democratic Party, is now an elder statesman, eminent grise and all that of Canada's perennial fourth place national party. Mr. Broadbent gave a speech last night at the Dipper convention in Halifax that Michael Valpy of the Globe and Mail breathlessly reports was blah blah blah and blah.
Seriously, same old, same old.
Mr. Ed "...proclaimed the arrival of “a social democratic moment” in Canadian politics." in his speech.
Well, la di f'ing da. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, from you, Mr. Ed, repeatedly in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.
Tax the rich, social equality and on and on and on.
Again proving that he and they don't get it the New Democratic Party, which very well could be the Democratic Party when you read this, will still get destroyed in the next election, picking up its usual handful of seats here and there and ultimately contributing next to nothing to Parliament.
Not even bronze medalists they are tired. So tired.

So if it's such a non-event, how come you're using energy and space writing about it? Don't you have something more important to do?
ReplyDeleteIn a word, no I don't have anything more important to do.
