There’s no difference between calling them lazy bastards and shipping your party leader in for a photo op with them at the homeless shelter. Either way, you’re exploiting the problem for political points.

one politician’s error is another’s pr opportunity.
That’s been the way since the beginning of politics.
When your party is down in the dumps, and you need some cheap face time for the press…WHO YOU GONNA CALL….JACK LAYTON!!! I would get rid of my Canadian Citizenship if that blowhard ever got to power. The only thing that douchebag is concerned about is photo ops. He spouts off how his party is going to be a real game changer…without a shred of evidence to back it up. For the record, im not for any of the parties that are present and want to represent Canadians. I submit my vote as none of the candidates are acceptable to vote for every election. But people, at the very least see Jack Layton for the total DB he is….and never EVER let that guy stand on a big boy podium. It would do Canada justice to keep him out of any sort of power.
well that’s certainly your opinion and you’re entitled to it, however idiotic it may be.
🙂
Hi I’m Jack and I have a slighty used Yugo for sale. Trust me it runs like new.
sorry zzz if you have any sort of feelings for jack layton other than complete contempt as a Canadian…you should walk around with a paper bag over your head. he will not be good for canada period. He has no solid shred of decency, nor does he have the ability to come through with anything he says he is going to do, he proved it in his “debates” which he made a fool of himself time and time again. hes no leader, of his party OR as a potential leader of our country.
yes but Cuja, how do you REALLY feel about Mr. Layton?
Don’t hold back this time…
offer your spare room for these guys and let them live there and then there are not homeless nomre- !!! Hey really shut up and put out
I totally agree…getting a photo opt on the back of the poor to promote yourseif is terrible
Piss on the homeless.
Yeah, Layton will sink the country. What a fucking load of shit. So Harper is a knight in shining Armor. Oh, how about Malroney, nope, another cocksucker that promised the world. Martin, yeah, there’s a boatload of inspiration, fundamentally. That’s the only word he knows. Iggy? Smug little fucken American slut, wouldn’t trust that with a nickel. Fact is, there’s no quality candidates in this country, they ALL promise the world and deliver nothing but shitty policies, and all claim their failure is due to the previous governments’ policies. Simple math, money in vs money out, and these people can’t make it work.
Like theweedhog said, how many of you are going to open your homes to them and feed and clothe them………..I thought not.
Ha Ha Bro Tim. I think the same thing about Jack every time I see him. Smarmy. “What do I have to do to put you in the driver’s seat today?”…I think it’s the ‘stache.
I wonder if Jack’s aware of his sleazy reputation. He looks like the bad guy from all those bad good cop bad guy movies.
we should be voting for someone… please at least agree that we should be voting….
so I’m going to assume you’re all nodding your heads by now….
liberals bent us over with thievery and scandals…
conservatives ARE currently bending us over with budget cuts and broken promises….
I’m not voting bloc or we’d lose another province and likely have to pay for it…
Green doesn’t fit in with some of my views…
so I’m left with him by default.
It’s not that I’m choosing the man, it’s that he’s the only one left… and besides, it won’t be layton by the time enough people are ready to finally go with the orange.
ZZZ i vote every election that the Candidates are not suitable, stats canada does collect those votes(about 10k every election last i heard) you dont HAVE to put a check in any name, and its still a vote.
the NDP could always drag Quenn Alexa out of retirement, she’s the kiss of death to Federal Politics…
Layton and wifey are political opportunists – big time
The poor suck. I almost hit one of them near the MacDonalds bridge ramp. Stupid fool was right out in the street sniffing Lysol. Damn, that would have left a mark on my car!
“The poor suck.”
My nextdoor neighbour’s name is Sebastian and he’s also a dipshit.
