“Go Jack Go! I like Jack Layton!”
It has been so hard not to comment on the Political Beings that are running around the country right now. You know there are Human Beings and then there are Political Beings. Human Beings are normal people and Political Beings are not so normal….

Canadian Human Beings are going about their ordinary lives each day. Political Beings kind of do different things and worry about different things than we do.

But that is not what needs to be seen today.

This past week the reports are out that the NDP and their leader Jack Layton are zooming ahead of the Liberals.

According to an Ipsos Reid Poll done and published on Thursday April 21, 2011, just before the weekend, the Conservatives are cruising to Victory with 43% support, the NDP are at 24% and Liberals 21%.

Who would have ever thought that the NDP would shoot to the top? This happened in Quebec in particular and then is also taking place in other parts of the country. Jack Layton is likely going to be moving from his Granny Flat in Ottawa – and into the official residence of the Opposition. Michael could be looking for a new place to live.

It is at times like this that the Electioneering in Canada gets more interesting. The drag down and knock out blows that the Liberals and Conservatives have been hitting each other with… have left the Third Guy loose to do great damage to the whole mix.

What? What happened? Where did Jackie come from?

The Liberals and the Conservative diggers were looking for bad stuff about whatever Political Being in the other party they could get.

You know… that person wrote something about abortion six or eight years ago… so they must be weird.. don’t vote for them. That person over there has an Uncle that was crooked – so he must be crooked too. The other guy made a speech and said some things that were way out there… and reporting what he said will destroy him – for sure – so get it on the news report NOW!

All the mutter of Political Beings… yikes!

But now there is a fresh look… what if Jackie is going to come up from the rear and then pass the second runner? Wow – now that could be interesting!

Wouldn’t it be fun to vote for an NDP candidate locally – just to stick it to the other guys that have acted the way they have?

Whether I actually think that way or not – I think that there are about 12% of our population that is not showing in the three main party “Percentages” (which total 88%) that could flip over to the NDP… making their total a whopping 47%!

Duh 47% is bigger than 43%!!!! And away more than 21%...!

And knowing how some folk will flip flop in their decision making at the last minute… more than 12% could go this way.

It has been said that the NDP are an Orange colour of the Red Liberal… and are much like the Liberal mindset.. only kinder. Maybe turned off Liberals will go Orange too?

At this stage in 2011 I think it is possible to see the NDP and Jack Layton making a move soon.

And you know the part that is so amazing about this guy… he hasn’t attacked anyone… but rather just kept on trucking ahead.

“I like Jack.” I think that is the call that is going out now across Canada in a simple Canadian way. “I like Jack!”

And I think that two major Political Beings are going to be wondering where that come from.

These top two of yesterday have beaten each other up over and over again. They have spent millions on letting us know how bad they each are.

Jack didn’t do that.

Now Canadians are beginning to believe that the top two are really bad – because they themselves have convinced us.

But Jack isn’t that bad – nobody has said anything bad about him. Everybody loves Jack… even Quebecers love Jack… and are turning against the Bloc. And if you live in Western Canada… anyone that will be able to deal with Quebecers in a better way… will have their vote.

When Big Michael I. started warning people against even considering Jack, I laughed…. It was because Jack was so new and not experienced. He used other words than that… and simply stated… “I am better than Jack… you should trust me more!” (my words here)

NDP’s roots are in the CCF party out of Saskatchewan from what I remember. No one knows about CCF anymore.

But they came into being as Political Beings – only very little guys in the southern part of a non descript Province that didn’t really have much at the time but wheat. They were used and abused by Liberals and Conservatives for a long time.

CCF stated that they could help the local folk be heard. The local folk believed them and they were elected.

Tommy Douglas was one of its leaders. Imagine a Baptist Minister standing up to Political Beings and winning!

“I like Tommy”, was said a long time ago too.

As I begin my watching again this week… I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next poll to show me what is happening to Jack.

This week Stephen and Michael will begin exposing Jack for what he is. Jack is a problem in the right and left side of these Political Beings. This is going to be more fun than the Hockey Night in Canada that is never gong to be over.

BTW – We will still be watching Hockey until the first harvest of Strawberries!

“I like Jack.” And in my case… it is coming from the tearing down and ripping up that the other two have done so well. Negative ads are going to help Jack… Go Jack Go! “I like Jack!”
