Harper's greatest test
Lots of good debate on P-90.
Coyne's talking about it here:
Coyne's talking about it here:
I agree with Harper: this is a matter best settled by individual MPs voting their consciences. You take a stand as a party on the things you agree on. You leave the rest to MPs and their constituents.The critics at the E-Group have an outlet over here:
So the position of the party on these issues will be whatever Stevie says they are when he needs votes. Don't rock the boat in the meantime.Andrew has more over here:
How do you think that would play out in the media?And points to Matt's thoughts:
In my opinion I think the MSM would probably avoid printing the proposed canned statement, and instead would proceed to flog the "hidden agenda" story even harder. P-90 does not seem to be in the CPC's best interests.
The CPC adopting P-90 at their convention doesn't really help them in and of itself, but living it could help them tremendously - and it's really the only thing that can.And Brents thoughts:
If resolution P-90 is voted down, we can then vote for resolution P-91 and get what the grassroots want without having to swallow the poison pill contained in resolution P-90.This is going to be Harper biggest test of leadership.
