There are two former premiers, a former prime minister and a former finance minister, all with strong records of public service and economic credentials.Known informally as the ''four wise men,'' Roy Romanow, Frank McKenna, Paul Martin and John Manley have agreed to form a body of economic advisers in the event of the formation of a Liberal-NDP coalition government.
The fate of our government rests in the hands of an unelected head of state. Of all the things that bug me about this prospective coalition, this fact is the most irritating. Michaelle Jean was appointed by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin. The people had no say in her selection. Given the kind of power she wields, I think it's high time that her job be an elected post, Why couldn't we have a one-person,...
1. The yet-to-be-named coalition seems poised to bring on Paul Martin, John Manley, Frank McKenna, and Roy Romanow as economic advisors . Smart move. 2. We also have polling ! Well, from Quebec, at least. 3. The yet-to-be-named coalition is rumoured to made up of a slimmed down 24 person Cabinet, with the NDP getting 6 Cabinet seats. My guess would be Layton, Mulcair, Comartin, Wasylycia-Leis, Davies,...
This morning, there is talk of an Economic Advisory team, that would counsel the new coalition government. Made up of Paul Martin, Roy Romanow, Frank McKenna and John Manley, presenting this group is a stroke of genius. It will demonstrate stability to the markets, a sense that seasoned people are on board, respected elders involved, it denotes a coming together for the good of the country. My lingering...
In a 2004 letter Stephen Harper sought to become Prime Minister without an election. Mr. Harper's 2004 letter to then-Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson requested that she turn to him if Paul Martin's newly elected government were defeated in the Commons. Harper wrote: "We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation....
Now that it seems like the opposition leaders can at least agree to be, y'know, oppositional and all, former spokesman for Paul Martin, Scott Ried seems to think its High Noon in Ottawa . I don't expect much to come of it, since the Liberals are stuck in leadership race mode for the next several months. The idea of a coalition is a nice one, but highly unlikely to come about. I think it would take...
I seem to remember Paul Martin saying something about a major political party teaming up with the Bloc to defeat the government should be condemned for being the " unholy alliance " that it is, but I must have dreamed it. (Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! We have always been at war with EastAsia!) It looks like the three parties are going to do this no matter what, so now is not the...

"Never again will we allow the spectre of overspending to haunt this land," then Finance Minister Paul Martin said 1998. "Canadians have paid to see the movie ‘The Deficit'. They don't want to pay to see the sequel." Now, just over a decade later, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is bracing Canadians to watch that sequel. It's a remarkable turn for Harper who has fought against deficits and in favour...
The battered Liberal party has learned its lesson from past feuds and will emerge united despite a fresh round of sparring between its two principal leadership hopefuls, former prime minister Paul Martin said Monday.
Past rifts in the party such as the one caused by the acrimony between Mr. Martin and former prime minister Jean Chrétien have only recently healed somewhat. Now Liberals want to avoid the kind of nasty in-fighting they saw during the 2006 leadership campaign in which current leader Stéphane Dion emerged as a compromise winner.
LIMA, Peru -- On Feb. 24, 1998, Paul Martin, then the country's finance minister, rose triumphantly in the House of Commons to deliver the budget. "What I am about to say is something no Canadian government has been able to say for almost 50 years," he said. "We will balance the budget next year. We will balance the budget the year after that. And, Mr. Speaker, we will balance the budget this year."...
