Really Listening To Mulcair For The First Time...

AllTheRhetoricThatFits
ForTheOtherSixtyPercentVille


Thomas Mulcair was on the long wave with Evan Solomon this morning.

I, for one, was impressed.

No wishying....

No washying...

As he chopped a number of Republican/Conservative frames to bits.

****

Now.

I realize that there may be issues of real politick that could wear a little thin over the longterm here.

But I truly believe, at least for the moment, that we do need someone to draw a deep, definitive line in the sand so that people can see where we are going if we stay on the Conservative Party of Canada's side of the oil-soaked and completely unregulated beach where there will be no lifeguards, but there will be corporations renting towels and selling time shares for swimming rights.

OK?

And I even liked the way Mulcair turned Solomon's crap closer about the penny into a serious statement about something that matters (and, in addition, gave credit where credit was due).

Hi Ross

Nicely tagged descriptor / turn of phrase - "oil-soaked and completely unregulated beach where there will be no lifeguards, but there will be corporations renting towels and selling time shares for swimming rights."

Pretty well sums up the CPC reality so far which if not checked I think will only get much worse. The newly invigorated opposition is a positive alternative that can change the tide. Thomas Mulcair has the passion and smarts to lead the change.

Thanks Bill--

I hope there is a new invigoration.

Will be interesting to see how the party of 'The Contender' plays their hand also.
