Bob Rae and NDP Leader Nycole Turmel

http://bit.ly/oUL4Vd

Interesting piece in the Star about Bob Rae and NDP Leader Nycole Turmel.

But the most interesting passage is not the most obvious:

"Friday, Rae aimed at Harper over his cuts to government services.

Curiously, during a walkabout in her riding earlier in the week, Turmel refused to comment when asked about them."

Perhaps no one knew Turmel's separatist leanings because she kept quiet about them? Regardless, a reticent Leader of the Opposition is almost a contradiction in terms.

And one could question Rae's NDP socialist background... so it's quite rich coming from him don't you think?

Well, there are social democrats and there are socialists and there is a difference...
