I think you need a lesson in Liberal party history or you have a huge blind spot in your political knowledge on this subject...

We'll hold on arn't tax payers funding the conservatives? Where is all this money coming from? What about the tax deductions.. arn't they loosing the taxpayers money.. why are they tax deductable, should a business pay taxes on the money it makes?

Yea, but the conservatives were obviously fine with it, what's the other parties excuses other than using this as a catalyst to destroy a government that was elected twice in two years?

I applied to join the reserve? You? Or are you one of them, other people fighting for my values is good but I won't stand up for them myself types?

I did as well except I found a job.

Why do we need it in Afghanistan, what missions does it need? Was it harper, if it was harper, does he have military experience to know what the militarty needs?
|
Because us being in Afghanistan is actually legitimate and our military needs the tools?
Unless you enjoy watching Canadian soldiers coming back in coffins why shouldn't we give them what they need?
EVERY Canadian knows our military is laughable when it comes to actual hardware - have you been living under a rock?

Hold on so are you saying you don't support overseas missions?

Sorry where did I say I didn't support overseas missions again?

Waste of taxpayers dollars.
1. Get rid of light sentences and replace them with probations and works orders, if they screw up repeatedly increase it. Give them a chance to end probation orders, restitution orders etc.. or otherwise early if they cooperate and do well. Resitutution depending private victim or social vicit.. if private victim the victim should be able to set the acceptable punishment, if not agreed at a pretrial level, all trials should be by jury, and open to public input.
2. For serious crimes (where an ongoing social danger or harm exists), death at their choice, or ship them off to a ghulag that will generate revenue for the government, or turn one of our islands into a "resettlement location". Give them materials to live life in the ghulag like real people in a community, but protect them. The current prison system is a waste of time and resources, and they shoulnd't be located near communities, and should be self sufficient as possible.
3. Time doesn't matter, it is the lessons learned during it. I don't support punishment for crimes, I think that we should be proactive in rehabilitation and progressing people personal growth and capacitization in society to assit it in being the best it can be.
|
This is a joke right?
You want to rehabilitate every criminal to death?
'I don't support punishment for crimes'?? wtf?
See this is the problem with today's society - no personal responsibility for anything, it's society's fault..blah blah.
You do the crime - you do the time - zero tolerance

I know china is doing fairly well, with a perhaps 7 to 7.5% growth rate but that is subject to change (it was forcast to be 9.5% however the growth rate and the loss of growth are two different factors... eg. china lost 2% while canada lost 0.5 to perhaps 1%.

I don't count China, they're a communist country hello!

and what does that mean? All his MP's come from Quebec? Where else would they be representing? However the key is things outside of Quebec effect Quebec, so the Bloc has an interest in what develops outside Quebec in the view of how it effects Quebec, I would suppose.
Once again while i volunteered to be a bloc candidate they don't run the party outside of Quebec.
|
Why would a party that doesn't campaign outside Quebec (EVER) care what the hell the rest of Canada thinks unless there's something in it for them? That all the Bloc cares about - EOD on this end.
| quote: |
Thinking the bloc is blind to everything that goes on outside of Quebec, it is not the case it is a fairytale.
|
Of course they're not blind, they hold all Canadian policies hostage until an acceptable offer is made that's in the best interest of QUEBEC, not Canada.
| quote: |
What the hell is that suppose to mean. THis is the emptiest peice of rhetoric in relation to the circumstance ever. I would say it is the other way around. The conservatives are a one way street, while the majority of parliament is a three way street, or atleast a three lane road - perhaps in Quebec.
|
The truth hurts I know because you know I'm right.
All the other parties lean left so what? It's not like I just let out some secret. Anybody with any Canadian background in politics knows this. It's the reason the Liberals were in power so long because they simply didn't lean as hard as the NDP or the Bloc.

There are lots that weren't expecting it, not just me.
| quote: |
Learn about parliamentary procedure, they have the right to assume power if they hold a majority.. parliament is not a partisan organization, every elected member has the right to represent its constituents how it chooses. Also Partisanship holds only a figurehead role, not a real legal application, it is loosely based in conventions which favour democratic choice, of the members. The govenorgeneral chooses the Prime Minister in the role of the Queen as powers delegated to her. However by convention the largest group of Commons Members lend their support, as a show of the person most capable to form a government - however this need not be a member of parliament. Coalitions are a real thing in the parliamentary system, they just arn't all that common in Canada, but in places like Europe they are far more common.
|
By not that common you mean, oh, in the last 100 years of Canadian politics???
| quote: |
The federal election is done by riding, not as a whole federally to elect a party. It elects local representatives. By convention those representatives give advice on how to form government (as part of the process of parliamentary consent of the queen to act on advice of Parliament. Somewhat the same idea of Orders in Council (which harper is likely to potentially abuse to some degree by stalling over the chirstmas holidays, when a "crisis" is ongoing.

Not sure why you feel compelled to give a lesson in Canadian politics - I'm going to guess it's for the benefit of those outside Canada but if the other three losers are going to play dirty ball why not capitulate?

Harper is the one who called the last election.

Yes and?
You too.

There is little if any speculation. Their government appears stronger, and more inventive. Also the recent demonstrations of illegal conduct of the conservative party - again, likely don't help the situation. It makes Canada look stupid.

Actually it makes the NDP look stupid.
Who the hell doesn't do a role call on a conference call?
And to have access they would have had to have been given an invite with a number and a password to call into that audio bridge.
Pure incompetence on the NDP's part - and they want to run the country!
| quote: |
It will go ahead next monday unless harper damages his party more. |
Time will tell.
I agree that Harper should have at least talked it over with the other parties before tabling the party funding cut...
