Martin warns against importing U.S.-style extreme right
Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin warned Canadians on Thursday that his main rival , Conservative leader Stephen Harper, would turn the country into a bastion for a U.S.-style extreme right. "I really do believe that Canadians don't want to buy the far conservative right in the United States," Martin said in a television appearance. "They don't want to see (it) imported here and they do understand that a sharing, working together has been the way we've built this country." The Conservative campaign suffered a rare embarrassment this week with the revelation that a candidate in British Columbia had been charged by Canadian Customs with smuggling a car and alcohol from the United States. Harper said candidate Derek Zeisman, if elected, would not be allowed to sit in the Conservative caucus in Parliament until the matter was cleared up.

This Martin is worse than Chirac.
Anyone have any idea what affect Zeisman will have on the election.
He was going on trial in Febuary but still ran for the riding. Talk about sabotaging a whole party.
It was starting to look read bad for Martin until this Zeisman came along.

To import the US-style extreme right into Canada, the US-style extreme right would first have to agree to be exported to Canada. That's not likely to happen.

Leave it to a fanatic like Martin to say, with a straight face, that "sharing and working together" is the basis for the nation state.
Of course, what the lunatic leaves out is the fact that "sharing" means socialist income redistribution and "working together" means working to support a bloated, moralistic government that wants to tell you what to think and how to live.

What would be a "right wing" "extremist" in Canada -- anyone opposed to universal health care?

I don't think he did anything that hundreds of thousands of other Canadians (myself included) have not also done. The affect will be ZERO.

"Anyone have any idea what affect Zeisman will have on the election."
Zero affect.
Martin is committing slow suicide every time he opens his mouth.
Canadian election cycles are very short. Elections aren't scheduled every four years like they are in the States.
Here an election can be called at anytime between three to five years of a mandate. So campaigns come without warning and are very short.
One week in a Canadian election campaign is like several months in the US. If a Canadian politician makes a mistake he's only got days to recover.
Martin has dropped a lot of balls.

It has some effect.
That seat is now gone to the NDP.

The Liberals have been in power since 1993, and party members are conceding privately that defeat is now likely. Dont let the door hit you in the @#$

He's still running against the US strawman. Apparently that's all he can whip.

We're not trying to export the right. We're trying to export the left. Unfortunately, they won't go, but maybe Martin can help by offering them incentives.

PM Martin, you sound like John Kerry...

International politics as usual: Take the focus off of your own failures and inadequacies and blame everything on: USA, George Bush, and guns.
If the Canadians once again can't see through this, then they deserve what they will get.
To: Northern Alliance
It's the same old liberal scare tactics:
"the Conservatives will annex Canada to the US"
"the Conservatives will import US style private health-care"
"the Conservatives will take us into the illegal war in Iraq"
"the Conservatives will rob from the poor to give the the rich corporations"
same old, same old

I find Martin's political philosophy completely out of the ballpark, but many, even the business left of Toronto, believe in it. For instance many believe that strong social programs are the backbone to a strong capitalist economy? Barf. And now Martin wants to take socialism to a brand new level. Government subsidized daycare for family's too addicted to two paycheques to actually take care of their own children.
