The NDP can't take a strong, principled position on BDS or the Flotilla massacre and then a bunch of the party's white male poster boys(Dewar and Mulclair) fall over themselves to silence and put the best NDP MP in her place as soon as rightwing extremists target her for a tiny error. Dissapointing to say the least. This does look a little like a move by the 'Liberal Democrat' wing of the party to iron out one of the few differences between them and the Grits.
I hope Mulclair loses his seat, I knew he was a pro-Israel Liberal but I didn't realize he was such a backstabber. I think his agenda is becoming increasingly clear. Cauchon is far from great but he's better than a lot of other Liberals, the opposite is true of Mulclair's and the NDP.
