Most likely. Joe Clark had the oppurtunity to do it, sitting right there in the House Of Commons, but the NDP had to fuck it up. So many chances to balance things out......

The no-Tommy Douglas NDP was a second rate party. All they did was spend, spend, spend, with out thinking. What I liked about Tommy was that he knew how to do it right, but I would imagine it'd be easier to do it for Saskatchewan than Ontario, but then again maybe he could have thought of ways for Ontario to make money. I still think he'd have made a better PM. Most of the ideas that came from Lester B. and Trudaeu came from Douglas anyway, so it's not like we'd be with out national health care or the charter. He was a hell of a speaker too. Don't get me wrong, LBP and PET we're great Canadians but Tommy would have been great too.
