8/26/2015 at 9:30 PM

So the federal election has been called and I haven't heard who is running for all the parties in the Brandon area. Anyone know?

of your picks, or the polls? Wonder why Trevor and Enfyre put Cons at top and NDP at bottom? Random? ....hmmmm, I think not.

My order was due to memory, nothing more nothing less.

McGuire because he's the incumbent, Wyman because there's a mail flyer on my coffee table, Neufeld because the Sun was tweeting their story on (presumably) him all day, then I had to look up the NDP candidate because I couldn't remember her name.

NDP

Wouldn't matter who is running for NDP right now and where they run. Look at Alberta, it is sinking in oil sands faster than they can control it. NDP is failing that province, would you want them running any other province right now? Kevin O'Leary said it best.

Good observation, won't take the credit, I pulled the list, but that's probably why it was in that order.

That said, I still would have listed the incumbent first.

Pray it forward, gotta say, your suspicions are warranted, had I listed them purely on preference, the list would have at least started and ended that way.

Wake up it's the price of oil. Conservatives governed when oil was record high now NDP has to clean up there mess because they didn't put any money away for a rainy day.

they were left with a billion dollar surplus from the last budget from the PC's and promptly decided to spend/borrow $6 billion. No budget brought forward just a back room deal and they won't bring out a budget till after the federal Election, why is that!!

Where to begin waking up
8/27/2015 at 3:09 PM

Telling a person to wake up, really? How about some educating, here are some NDP threads. Let me know if you want me to continue?

High debt and spending with no budget.

The NDP has fallen off since the passing of Jack Layton.
