leaders' rhetoric does not match reality- Tuesday
April 12, 2005
by : Maarjaleena Repo
Saskatoon : With
talk of another election and the Harper crowd pompously pointing fingers at the Liberals

White Rock B.C.
:Politics makes for strange bedfellkows and that certainly is the case as talk of
a June election is stirring the Opposition party to crank up its campaign machinery.
But realistically there are a lot of voters who have no political party left to support
and thus we had the inconclusive results last year, nothing really has changed.
