When Estonian Life asked former Councillor Doug Ford, if he was going seek the Conservative nomination, when meeting him at a U.S. Embassy reception July 8, '15 at Roy Thompson Hall. “I haven't decided yet, but I don't look forward to going to Ottawa,” answered Doug Ford.
Mulcair spoke in well articulated sound bytes, suit, no tie, the usual NDP mantra: $15 an hour minimum wage, subsidized daycare at $15 a day, no mention that were Canada were to bring all the lost manufacturing jobs from China, we would have no unemployment.
In the current copy of Mcleans magazine, the several articles on Mulcair made it look as if he had already been anointed as prime minister.
What still scares me is Mulcair vowing to repeal Bill-51 (which helps security forces fight terrorism) and to bring back Canadian fighter jets from fighting ISIS. I didn't get close enough to him to ask what his policy is to Eastern European security but I am glad because it probably would have upset me.
Some unhappy campers at the rally were postal letter carriers who had been receiving mixed messages from Mulcair. He has said that he won't stop letter carrying in the future, but at this point hundreds of letter carriers would have lost their jobs.
