If there was ever a bigger moron than Jack Layton, I'd like to know who he is.

Bob Rae wrote that he left the NDP because the party had moved so hard to the left that it was just too much for him to take. Gone is the NDP of Ed Broadbent; replaced with essentially communists in denial. According to Rae, the NDP of today is all about protesting everything. (More fun I suppose.)

Rae himself wrote that he was concerned about how the NDP of today viewed all large companies and businesses with complete and utter disdain. That the only good set up was if it was run by government. He found himself more and more unable to agree with this and left the party forever.

As far as the banks go, if you use one of the ATM's to which you belong (i.e. your bank's), you don't pay a fee. I personally try to live by that. I try to plan to have some cash in my pocket and when I walk by a CIBC, or Royal ABM, I use it with no fee.

If I am in great need of cash and I am too lazy to go to either of my bank's ATMs, then I pay the price. I try to difuse the price by taking out 200 bucks as opposed to my usual 100 bucks to lower the convenience fee.

At the end of the day, the banks are entitled to charge what they feel the public will bear for the right of quick convenient cash.

Fuck I hate Jack Layton.
