Harper and Duceppe rocked!
Apr. 21 - Prime Minister Paul Martin gave his speech and begged for time to let the Gomery Inquiry finish it's task. He pledged to call an election
Election 30 days after final Gomery report.
In short, he gave the Canadian equivalent of a Checkers speech.
Opposition Leaders Stephen Harper and Giles Duceppe responded with well-targeted, rapid-fire rebuttals of Martin's points. They both hammered home the point that it's not the country that is in crisis but the Liberal Party.
NDP Leader gave a foolish speech in which he made promises that would amount to raising taxes.
There are video links to the right of the CTV article.
More later, other people in this household want equal (ha!) time on the computer. I should toss 'em a second or two ...

Re Nixon's Checkers speech: a piddly $18,000 wouldn't even get on the Librano's radar screen... oh, wait - that would be US dollars!

Perhaps you did not listen to Layton's speech or you're just trying to spin it to suit your political view (that would be a real suprise eh?) but he did not say anything about raising taxes.... You should probably pay attention to the actual remarks made by each leader, no matter if you like their party or not. If you had a problem with what he SAID that would be fine but this is a joke...
Also, I can see your problems with Toronto voting Liberal and I dislike the grits as much as you (for different reasons I'm sure) but check the polls... the Tories are running 3rd in large cities outside Quebec, behind the NDP.
