say it ain't so, Joe
Joe Fontana for the leadership of the Liberal party. Doing my birth riding... proud?
You can be excused if you don't know a lot about him. His political career has been extraordinarily undistinguished, considering its longevity. He is probably best remembered as playing a mean set of drums for True Grit - with Jean Chretien on the trombone.
His unbridled passion is unquestionable. Unfortunately, it generally renders him unable to put a sentence together. He sadly doesn't share the cool self-assuredness of Denis Farina's Law and Order character of the same name.
"He said... that support came from housing, labour, and ethno-cultural groups who think he's progressive."
To those that know him, this comes as a bit of a shock. To those that don't:
- he has said that abortion should be limited to "exceptional extenuating circumstances" involving rape or incest (London Free Press, October 12, 1988).
- he opposed same-sex marriage bitterly until he landed a cabinet job, saying such a move would violate "what our country stands for" (separate but equal).
- He was one of a few Liberal MPs that helped the Harper Conservatives narrowly defeat a bill to ban the use of replacement workers in 2005.
But he sure can bang on some drums.

In THeir Own Words Part 4:
Steve -
Been around for 80 summers/Some were winners, some were bummers
Like Ignatieff I have been misrepresented. It was the great Valdy who originally spoke those words. ha ha
Don't dance around the issue. You're nothing but Valdy-lite.
Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real money.
It's all about how to select a proper companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
