The federal Liberal Party of Canada is officially dead.Media is reporting that Bob Rae will not seek to run for the leadership of the Liberals.
Justin's question is: do I die with the Liberals, or join the federal NDP and defeat Harper.Justin Trudeau is thinking about it. Good thing he won that fight.

Justin's father was once a CCFer. He only joined with Pearson because the federal Liberals, at the time, offered a route to power.

The Liberals and NDP are two polar opposites?Merging 2 polar opposites for the sake of power never works... Its a nice dream however...

I'm not surprised he would say that considering it's coming from the guy that doesn't understand the difference between parliament and government.

1.I think you're right...The Liberal Party of Canada is on life support and the plug is about to be pulled...And I think you're right that Justin Trudeau's best bet,assuming he wants a long political career,would be to get as far away from the rotting carcass that is the federal Liberal party,the Mulcair version of the federal NDP is probably his best option...
2.The current version of the NDP is looking alot more like the Trudeau Liberal party of the late '60's and through the '70's than anything the Liberal's have4 have looked like in the last 15 to 20 years...And it's true that one of the reasons Pierre Trudeau went with the Liberal party was because the CCF/NDP of the time wasn't electable with mainstream Canadians...
The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
