Just attended the pride parade and KUDOS to the crowds, floats and organizers. Every political leader was there, nationally, provincially and locally EXCEPT our premier! SHAME! Makes me want to change my vote. Mr. Premier is clearly out of touch or has bad advisers. NOT IMPRESSED! —D

There WAS a big cardboard cutout of Layton. That’s gotta count for something….
You’re just getting around to changing your vote on this clown now? What took so long?
The premier was in Vancouver at the Council of the Federation of Canadian Premiers.
I didn’t realize that any parade has mandatory attendance for elected officials.
I was not at the pride parade either, because I had prior commitments in another part of the province. Does this make me non supportive or homophobic? I hope not!!! This bitch is petty and resounds of an hyper-sensitive person trying to make a big deal about nothing. If you want support try and carry yourself with a little grace.
I’ll bet that not all gays go to the parade. Some of them have jobs that demanded that they be elsewhere. But thats no excuse for the PM, eh?
If that is the only reason you are thinking of changing your vote, we are all in bigger trouble than I thought…
Who gives a rat’s ass who goes to the parade and who doesn’t. Thankfully the fog put the flamers out.
So the fog prevented you from attending is what you’re saying?
I would have gone, but i was too busy humpy the waitress’s leg for IDing when i ordered a beer and a burger (with cheese), then i bludeoned a would be rapist on barrington street with a dozen dead pidgeons and force fed him roadkill. Awhooo!!! I am man!
very nice great v…clap clap
Maybe he just doesn’t like parades? Maybe he just bought Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits collection and time got away from him?
Or maybe he kept listening to this:

So it turns out he has cancer. Don’t you feel like an asshole now.
That’s Jack Layton, Bravo Echo Yankee…this bitch is about Darrell Dexter.
Great Value that was awesome.
As for this bitch, there are more important things to think about going on in this world then who showed up at a stupid gay pride parade. Get your priorities straight OP.
Trust me I’m not defending Dexter; if he’d turned up, like the other shills, he’d have been criticised like the bitch from last week as being “Temporarily Gay”. We all know politicians of all stripes would fuck a dead dog with sore eyes just for the vote, but DD did have a valid reason, as someone said previously, he was in Vancouver asking for spare change for bankrupt NS.
“he was in Vancouver asking for spare change for bankrupt NS.”
AHHAHAHAHAHA the picture that popped into my head when I read that made me actually LOL, PP.
That just made my day, dude. <3

Oh, you’re just the worst kind of person…
oops. haha, my bad.
It was that first cardboard cutout comment that confused me. Still no excuse for confusing the two, I know. Don’t I feel like an idiot now.
To answer your question, I don’t. His physical health has nothing to do with his politics, or my reaction to them.
Right on Ivan. Not that I don’t wish him well, personally, politically though, not so much
