Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

So it seems there are 6 candidates for the BC Conservatives.

Who do think has what it takes to manage the party and win the election?

Have a look in the "99 Days" thread for BC politic talk Reef.....this one is more on the Federal side of things.

On the Federal side.....

Seems we have another floor crosser, Gladu.

I knew nothing about her until yesterday.

Everything I've read makes me think I smell a rat. She has been one of the loudest voices decrying the Liberals, never hiding her disdain for Carney, then suddenly a few weeks ago she goes dead silent on the anti-Liberal rhetoric and now she's Carney's new best friend.

I think that if a sitting MLA decides that they want to cross the floor, they should have to go through a by-election or some other process to get a mandate from their constituents. A lot of voters cast their votes for a party as opposed to the individual. In my riding, I don't really care about the candidate as much as I care about the party I'm voting for.

Its happened for decades. Part of politics. You could argue that now those ridings have stronger representation now that they are part of the ruling party, an MLA with say now as opposed to a weak opposition.

I guarantee, that when the Cons finally put the boots to PP, they will stop the bleeding.
