Now she doesn't have a seat so she doesn't deserve a place at that table. I also think she's got a pretty big hurdle despite this i... |

| How many of these tax exemptions do we need? As the article says, this law certainly doesn't help low income two earner families or single parents, who need it way more.

| Liberal minority, NDP alone not enough to pass bills: this is where there's uncertainty. Harper will be gone most likely, but the Conservatives will still scream COALITION if the Liberals get the Bloc's support.

PublicAnimalNo9 PublicAnimalNo9: Fuck, we even had Bob Rae telling us that we don't know how to vote  (Apparently, anyone that doesn't vote for a Liberal candidate is confused about how voting works.)
