The NDP's slogan of "Today's NDP" aways makes me laugh... kind of a reminder to ignore there past, as well as the very dated polices.. straight from the 50's I suppose. Too bad the rest of the world has turned there back on such irrelivent, useless and dated idiology.

Yes sir.. today's NDP indeed.

Yes, but it's even worse considering its the best of the three!\

Don't worry, Manitoba. Ontario's are even less inspired!

Lol, that looks NOTHING like Howard Hampton!

Yeah.. I would never have guessed he's a union loving hippie from that picture.

As well his name is all wrong.. the Hamptons is a home for the successful. His last name should be Alabama or Detroit .. something which better represents him.

Manitoba to left, Ontario to right. Hard to tell when small, or at a far distance.

Also Manitoba's and Ontario's were voted the worst flags of Canada and the United States by some flag committee.

You guys might get a kick out of this:

Purchased at the Winnipeg airport last fall. No photoshopping, that's actually the product. The gal at the sales counter told me they'd been selling them for months and I was the first to point this out.

Actually "today's NDP" sounds much like the "New Labour" of Tony Blair and the intent is probably the same.

As for dated policies, however, the Tories and their R.B. Bennett approach to the future seem to win that contest.

Hey, at least your party logos aren't like the Communist Party of Alberta's (actual registered party)

Karl Marx with a dash of Groucho for good measure?

.

So are you saying they are the New New Democratic Party .....

---- or the Newer Democratic Party ??

.... either way they are the same old defenders of government waste and anti-business they have always been. ... case in point the Floodway boondogle ... but at least they still have some fans here.

"case in point the Floodway boondogle"

Really? What's the story behind THAT one, Mr. Smith?

Are you serious...???

- manditory unionization to work on project
- project is already over budget and its not close to completion
- doer had to cut back on the project to make it seem a little less pathetic
- private non-unionized workers are cut out of the project .. many of whom head out to Alberta where free entreprise is imbrassed.
- shortage of available labour pushes back completion date
- some wiseguys suggest that government offers efficient operation because they don't have any profit driver... LOL

This thing has NDP screwup written all over it... but I am sure you can rationalize it some how right?

The sad fact is this project is going to cost taxpayers a large mint.. all in the name of satisfing the fat unions.

Please don't make me go through the socialist sandwich boondogle? ...

Honestly picking apart the NDP and the stupidity of those who support them is as easy as shooting dead or at least lathargic fish in a very restrictive barrel.

Can we have a list of these boondoggles, maybe links to save you time in having to type down the details?

newflyer · #56 Posted **Feb 14, 2007, 6:48 AM**

Here fishy fishy fishy ... BANG!!!

Lee_Haber8 · #57 Posted **Feb 14, 2007, 6:49 AM**

Manitoba and everything in it will lose

Our hospital was built by contracted private employees, though many were unionised..

Quote:

- project is already over budget and its not close to completion

It was 450% overbudget, and took 3 years longer to complete... and is already falling apart...

Quote:

- doer had to cut back on the project to make it seem a little less pathetic

Province had to be forced by the city to help pay for the expenses

- shortage of available labour pushes back completion date

We had the labour we needed for the most part

- some wiseguys suggest that government offers efficient operation because they don't have any profit driver... LOL

some wiseguys suggest that private contractors offer efficient operation because they have a profit driver... LOL

It can go both ways.

Since it was finished, several people have fallen off of faulty stairs, and part of the facade is crumbling.

Yikes - don't elect NDP.

I need not explain myself. How is doom treating you anyways?
