Modeling Journey

Some astute advice from Mr Reid which every Liberal, NDP and Bloc MP should read, cut out and keep it to hand for the next few weeks, reading it every day. This advice can ensure that Canada has a progressive government in December.

Let’s listen to part of what this strategic advice covers:

“So be smart. Be deserving. Prove your case and show you have a plan that serves the public interest. Above all else, use the coming week to exert real leadership on the issues that matter.
The next few days are a campaign. Mr. Harper is no longer on trial; the coalition is. So take the initiative, show leadership and demonstrate competence.

That effort must first focus on the economy. Start with an articulation of how the coalition would direct the stimulus that the Conservatives withheld. Indicate that you will create a fund to echo U.S. investment in the auto sector. Express a willingness to create incentives to boost the manufacturing and forestry sectors. Announce an advisory board that is widely held and draws on the most talented that business and labour have to offer. Above all else, show that you're prepared to act, that you enjoy the support of serious people and that you will be guided by the need to create jobs and protect middle-class Canadians.”

Reid also recommends that the Opposition take out PM Harper.
