A little lemon with that Basil (en francais)

Jack Layton must be hauling out the stress relief dart board again today.

Not content with campaigning for the Liberals or supporting the Bloc, Buzz Hargrove unveils his latest election strategy. The NDP should just stop running candidates in most ridings in the country and let the Liberals win. The Liberals, of course, would reciprocate in the other 10 ridings.

OTTAWA -- Taking his controversial strategic voting plan a big step further, Canadian Auto Workers president Buzz Hargrove said the Liberal Party should stop running candidates in NDP-friendly ridings while the NDP should pull out of Liberal strongholds.

Lest local readers forget, this is the man who supported Joe Comartin for the leadership of the NDP and who Joe Comartin and Brian Masse continue to loudly support.

No need to run candidates in Windsor - that belongs to the NDP. Despite the fact that Essex was represented by NDP MP Steven Langdon for eight years, it should be returned to the Whelan family.

Buzz must be running out of unions to raid and is looking for another sideline.
