Layton misses his Blair moment
Bob Rae's virtual party
With these two conflicting pieces the National Post recommends that Layton turn into a neo-con a la Tony Blair so we would then have what? Two neo-con parties in Canada?
While also saying in the "Bob Rae's virtual party" piece that Canada needs only one free enterprise (or pro-business) party.
That means in the National Post's considerable wisdom, the world is divided into a zero-sum game between two provider groups, employees and employers, but in the end it's all business.
That's the great thing about being simplistic, thinking is not a requisite. And it makes pendulum politics seem inevitable, swing from labour to ownership and back again.
You mean we all aren't both providers and consumers at some time in our lives? What if we need to have both of those parts of our lives serve our need for quality of life? Every odd day we can be Harper-Cons and every even day we can be Layton-Cons? And every single day we would be half satisfied or half dissatisfied, depending on glass half-full or glass half-empty attitude.
Couldn't be any simpler!
