 End the arrogance: Give Harper a chance
Paul Martin ran a negative campaign, not so much because he is a negative person but because he is bereft of new, positive ideas.
Perhaps Martin’s greatest failing is that he is a petty and vindictive man. He refused to reach out to Chrétien supporters after the leadership race who had not only worked hard for the party but who could have prevented his freefall during this election campaign.
Paul Martin not only detests his previous opponents, but is also attached at the hip to his Earnscliffe buddies, and refused to dump them when his campaign began to go south.

In 1993, Martin became finance minister under Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, and by the late 1990s had brought the federal budget out of deficit, making a name for himself as a fiscal conservative.
By 2001, Martin was actively maneuvering to succeed Chétien, a situation that led the prime minister to fire the more popular Martin as finance minister in 2002.

 Martin should resign
That’s already been done and besides, Paul would probably get lost and it would be embarrassing to become the only country in the world that had to issue an Amber Alert for its leader.
No, what Paul Martin should do is hop in his limo, take a quick trip to Rideau Hall and tell Governor General Adrienne Clarkson that she should ask someone else to form a government because he’s just not bright enough to lead the country.
Martin had told reporters in French that "It’s clear that if the Syrians are in Lebanon it’s because they must keep the peace." This goes against the position taken by Canada, Paul’s beloved United Nations and many other major countries.

Martin was so shaken by seeing his only son so ill (the boy couldn't speak for a year) that he resolved to push his cabinet colleagues to fund health care for everyone, no matter their income.
Martin promised to bring more democracy to the House of Commons so that its decisions better reflected the desires of Canadians, to increase aid to cash-strapped cities, and to boost spending on education and on research and development.
As his cabinet was sworn in at Rideau Hall, Prime Minister Paul Martin stood holding the Canadian flag that had flown at half-mast on Parliament Hill the day his father died in 1992.

 Paul Martin - SourceWatch
Paul Martin (correctly Paul Edgar Philippe Martin and sometimes incorrectly called Paul Martin Jr.
Martin had served as Chretien's Finance Minister from 1993 until 2002, but despite a record of great success at reducing the Canadian budget deficit and cutting federal taxes(largely by "downloading" major expenses on the provinces and municipalities), Chretien responded negatively to pressure by Martinites for him to go.
Martin has repeatedly publicly stated that he sees federal power in Canada as being too centralized and unaccountable, and has been vocal in calling for more "free votes" which would operate outside party lines, more like the U.S. House and Senate.

 Paul Martin's Future Problems
Paul Martin, rightly fearing that this jockeying for power will pose a threat to his leadership will feel forced to clamp down on anything that strikes at insubordination.
The very democracy that Paul Martin is promising will come (to a certain extent) to the Liberal Party and by extension to Canada, and it will be responsible for his demise, abbreviating Martin's term as Prime Minister, or at the very least hampering him severely.
Paul Martin's grip on the Liberal Party may be strong enough for him to hold on until the retirement date of his own choosing, but certainly the Liberal leader that follows him won't have the unqualified support Liberal leaders have traditionally come to expect.

"Paul Martin is 'insert your province/town here''s resounding choice; Headlines such as this are reprinted daily, as we meek citizens prepare for the Martin 'coronation'; Canadians are subject to much boosterism, but little of substance, to judge whether Junior has the right stuff.
Martin has been treating this surplus as a tax, funnelling the monies into general government revenues to help “slay” the deficit.
And “dollarization” is what Martin calls the surrender of the Canadian dollar--and monetary and fiscal control of the country--to the United States by adopting their currency.

After Turner's resignation as leader in 1989, Chrétien returned: he was elected Liberal Party leader at the June 1990 leadership convention in Calgary, defeating Paul Martin on the first ballot.
In August 2002, to quell internecine strife in the party primarily between his supporters and those of ex-Finance Minister Paul Martin, Chrétien announced that he would not run for an additional term and would resign in February 2004.

Paul Martin began using the same tactics in the Liberal Party in his quest to become leader, and ultimately Prime Minister.
Martin avoids playing by the rules by systematically installing his supporters into key positions, changing membership rules, and changing the party's constitution to remove any person like Regional Vice Presidents in Alberta who disagree with membership restrictions.
I believe that Paul Martin will, if elected, call an election as soon as possible to get out from the threat of appeasing the general populace, implement his changes to the government and Canadians will be like the sailors, disillusioned and feeling used and abused by a man they put in office.
