Here in Winnipeg I am shaking my head at the Harperistas - so much venom.
Those calling Premier Williams a 'traitor' etc., are just lending credence to the notion that Harper is standing on an empty platform. Otherwise why are they be so upset by this turn of events?
Surely one fiery Newf's crusade to prevent Harper from forming a majority doesn't really pose a real threat to the Conservative machine? Does it?
Maybe, deep down, the Harperistas are protesting so vehemently against Williams because they know their exalted leader's policies amount to nothing more than a hill of gaseous beans. Maybe they know the vision of the country Harper is offering us is a borrowed bag of tricks - already been discredited south of the border. Maybe they know he intends to construct along the bank's of the river in Ottawa a Potemkin Parliamentary Village while he guts the federal government of all its powers. Maybe they are afraid that Danny Williams will shed light on Harper's faux face.
If Danny Williams truly believes Stephen Harper poses an ongoing threat to the welfare of this country, his province and our futures, then let him say so. He has the same rights as any of us and yes, more balls than most. He's willing to 'put his money where his mouth is' - so let him speak. After all, if Danny Williams is indeed as inconsequential as many of the CONposters are professing where's the harm?
Unless, ... unless, of course, he his speaking the truth?
Godspeed Mr. Williams.
p.s. you'll note that few of the CONposters are disputing Danny's claim that Harper is, in fact, a liar. In and off itself this speaks volumes - let Danny now speak his.

Dion's Wpg Speech
fr: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080903.wcomartin04/CommentStory/specialComment/home
Watched Dion's address today on TV.
Oddly, I was pleasantly, surprised by his performance.
No, really... seriously, ... c'mon, stop laughing!
True, his command of English is still horrific. True, when he talks too fast he elides over so many syllables that he becomes virtually unintelligible. True, his skinny neck and slim head remind me of an ET-esque character. But, when he took his time speaking today, I could understand him - - and maybe, ... just maybe, there is a method to his linguistically challenged madness.
The argument he advanced against renewing Harper's mandate was cogent. If one's a Lib (I am not) then they may take some solace.
I suppose if you read the speech in text form and looked solely at its construct and thematic development then a case could be made that the Liberal narrative has possibilities.
In fact, it may even be capable of giving our PM 'Achieve Steve' a run for his ... ah, ... there I go again, ... dreaming in techno-colour.
Oh well, better a dream than another Orwellian nightmare inspired by the very thought a Harper majority.
Blessed-Buddha, is there nothing we can do to avoid this fate?
As for the NDP, can't Slick Jack be imposed upon not to split the anti-Harper vote?
Maybe he could ally his party with the Green's? Of course, Elizabeth May would necessarily have to be the leader of any new coalition. As Jack is pathologically incapable of doing little more in an election campaign than generating empty nauseating bluster.
p.s. Am I the only one who worries that one day, as Slick Jack beats his chest in indignation (over this, that, or the other thing) in a media scrum that one of those odd veins on the side of his temple is suddenly just going to explode? Just curious?
