Liberal Party 150 Montreal : Lacks Faith

This post is a note  to the importance of a step of faith,(conviction) in taking a course of action, making a decision.

The leadership of the Liberal Party initially decided against participation and attendence of their own senators, members of parliament. They folded days later.

Liberals, please think harder encapsulates the Montreal gabfest quite nicely. Jeff Jedras a Liberal blogger has many posts on the event. We should try to engage the other camp.

Ronald O'Dowd has a blog called Political Civil Discourse and I recommend chatting with him regarding his expertise in Quebec.

Scrap The Thinker's Conference  wrote a few posts on this subject. Check him out at Aaron Ginsberg All Politics is Local

We should always engage and debate Liberals on solutions and real ideas. In the end the government will be held responsible at the ballot. A willingness to seek a mandate from the voters should never be discounted.

The Liberals did not want to seek a mandate in January 2009. The NDP did not want to seek a mandate in September 2009. Both parties are taking cheapshots at each other for cooperating and not triggering an election.
 
The Liberal Party voted no-confidence once against the CPC Agenda in four years. They are avoiding triggering an election.

The Liberal Party refuses to introduce any motion that might trigger an election citing the long game but attack every idea being introduced by the government.

History has many examples of leaders who were able to take decisive action without having all their ducks in row.






Some may be unhappy with the progress in stopping the activities supporting AGW, deficit and policies not being "conservative" enough, let's keep talking about the viable alternatives.  We need to keep pushing for good policy without following into the trap of the left's arrogance and culture of entitlement of being the only acceptable solution.. A good idea, is a good idea regardless of what camp it originates.
