Two Prime Ministerial Wannabees Weigh In
In Today's Telegraph Journal, Federal Liberal leadership co-frontrunner Michael Ignatieff and Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton offer some thoughts on issues of leadership.
Ignatieff questioned Bernard Lord's deal making prowess, noting that a better deal for child care for New Brunswick was put on the table by former Prime Minister Paul Martin but not accepted. Nothing new here, of course, as it was apparent during "negotiations" that Lord's petulant insistence on dollars for the superfluous refurbishment of Point Lepreau would block the flow of child care funds from Ottawa to Fredericton. It is a moot point now anyway, as deals with other provinces such as the one that Ignatieff claims that Lord could have secured have been essentially reneged upon by the Harper government. But hey, who needs free public child care worth hundreds of dollars per month when you can get a taxable cheque for a hundred bucks anyway?
Not to let this meander into federal matters, but I do want to ensure my readers - all four of you - that the last snide comment is not intended to be pro-Liberal rhetoric. Public child care began popping up in the Chretien Red Books in the early 1990s and no action was ever taken. Sure, Martin's desperation had him signing cheques to the provinces, but it ought not to have taken fifteen years. It is a classic Canadian conundrum: is it better to believe the Liberals when they promise the moon and risk dejection upon the great likelihood that they will not fulfill the promise, or is it better to just accept the half-assed non-solution that the Conservatives are promising, safe in the knowledge that they will deliver on their inadequacies? Here is the conundrum in riddle form: Let's say that Paul Martin walks up to you on the street and offers you $100, but then Stephen Harper walks up to you and offers you $25. You may only choose one - which should you choose? The answer is that it doesn't matter. The value of Harper's offer is $25, as he will surely give it to you. The value of Martin's offer is also $25, because even though he is offering you $100, there is a 3 in 4 chance that he will turn around and run down the street before paying and you get nothing.
Back to New Brunswick and Ignatieff/Layton.
Layton was in Yvon Godin Country yesterday, celebrating the Fête nationale de l'Acadie. On the upcoming election, Layton noted the peculiarity of Lord's recent spending spree and offered an endrosement of Allison Brewer (naturally). Layton's positive comments on Brewer are no more surprising than Ignatieff's on Shawn Graham, so it's not really news. Interesting, though, was that Layton spoke about the need for an NDP voice in the legislature to hold the government to account and to represent the people: the province has missed Elizabeth Weir, etc. Frankly, any exposure that Brewer can get alongside Layton and Godin is tremendous for the NDP.

I still think the child care deal of the Conservatives (while admittedly flawed) was the fairest of the bunch. Personally I'm glad another Liberal multi-billion dollar boondoggle wasn't allowed to go through.
Liberal leadership. Man slim pickings aren't they anon? Do they want to beat Harper? It doesn't seem like it. It looks like they want someone to play interm instead.

It is more common than you think for some individuals to experience frustration with [url=http://cungmuahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nu[/url] and locating high quality information. We are all familiar with the feelings of trying to find out about a specific thing and not even being certain of what is necessary. Barely anyone knows anybody online, so when you want important information or help it becomes critical deciding on the source of it. No individual has been immune to this because it is just the nature of the online world, unfortunately. Well, we want to present you with a few established points and suggestions about this subject that you can verify quite easily.
The general complexities of women's and men's style
Both men and women may have the difficulties of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion frequently feels a lot simpler. Of course, for both sexes, garments and fashion choices may be quite as complex, and there are many'trendy'items which could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they often see people travelling in 70s flares? On the other side, men's fashion has a few staple things that can exist eternally - which man is planning to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select classic cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.
Why basic men's fashion is amazing
The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several versions for different events, however they are all common in their search for a clever, sharp search for the wearer. The good thing about traditional style for men is that it is effectively elegant effortlessly neat. A well-groomed gentleman will more often than not appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the design of such apparel. A suit will undoubtedly be used to work in many careers due to the professional search it offers to the person, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a match will undoubtedly be utilized to several social events, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary flexibility that allows matches to be used in just about all functions is what gives it its classic advantage and a lasting devote men's fashion.
Contemporary movements in classic men's style
Although classic men's designs can never be changed, it's interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced particular classic clothes back in fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, specifically, has brought back a wide-variety of basic models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet luxurious way, acting in a polished method and placing value on appearance. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'common style for men is apparent from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in notably Victorian-style clothing and take to the roads on vintage bikes - with most of the men sporting flawless mustaches! That is only one of several examples of proof exhibiting the revival of such types. Additionally, there are numerous sites on line which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.
In conclusion, although certain issues with common men's style may be brought back as new movements, the simple outfits that they are derived from will never fall out of fashion.
