From policy statements, speaches & other recorded comments. The other neat thing about this new site is that it is entirely interactive. If you've got a link you'd like to add, or a quote that you'd like to see posted, you can become a contributor to our collection. Please feel free to forward this note to people who are outraged by the Canadian Alliance Party. -- Mike A.

Message-ID: <396DBE97.A2F49A40@openconcept.on.ca> Hello, Although the Canadian Alliance Spoof site is still less than a week old, we've decided to expand it to include more opportunities for you to tell us what you think of the real Canadian Alliance Party. - Participate in our interactive polls - Add your comments to Posted Articles - Contribute stories to be published - Write bookreviews for progressive publications - Sign up to be sent weekly quotes - Great Articles - Check out Stockwell Day: From Pastor to Politician, as published in Briarpatch Magazine. Plus you can still: - Contribute real Alliance/Reform quotes - Add links to related sites Please let me know if you have any other ideas which would make this site a more effective tool. Please visit the site again, bookmark it and come back often http://www.canadianallianceparty.net/ Also, I have heard that some people do not believe that the quotes on the page are true. Fortunately, truth is stranger than fiction. I have worked to ensure that there are valid references for all of the quotes. There is one exception to this, in that right now the page does not allow me to moderate the new quotes that people post. So occationally someone throws in something that is inappropriate. I have been deleting those within a few hours though and will be fixing this in the next week so that quotes are better screened. Random Quote from: Rich Vivone "He's provincial treasurer when there's so much money flowing into this province they don't know what to do with it. . . . We haven't seen Stock in a situation where you have to make a tough decision, where there are two equally valid competing values and you've got to choose one. That's the real test of leadership" -- Mike A.
