why don't u run for office yourself? or at least get in to the gov't in some shape or form ... other options are too weak without the necessary public force!

i for one am working on the int'l level and trying to work it through int'l law on a more global level. we may not see results in our lifetime but at least we're setting the stage for more substantial change in the long run!

the common man cannot run for office in Canada any more. Thats half the problem. It takes alot of $$$ to get into office and getting it is what makes these politicians so corrupted by the time they actually do take power. This is why i say a general strike would put the power back in the hands of the people for the cost of a day's wages.

It's funny to me that after nearly a decade where people bashed the Reform party, nearly all their campaign platforms and ideals are being hailed as the savior of Canadian policitcs by both people on the Liberal and Conservative side of the spectrum.

Right of recall, deficits, fiscal responsibility, better justice system and management of our social and health care programs, and the most important one, keeping government in the hands of the people.

And to Rocco, if you can't read, those in this thread "bitching" are the ones proposing ideas and pushing for change. That, coupled with the right to vote, is all you can do as a normal citizen of this country. You, being a pro on bitching on this forum, should watch where you throw stones, especially with that nice glass house you live in.

I suspect that tomorrow will be a very bad day. Increased taxes and fees - with the effect only to be seen months from now when consumer spending drops as a result (taking the economy with it).

Not to mention the fact that the liberals have been spending away in the last 7 months to inflate the deficit as high as possible so that they can "justify" the cash grab about to be handed down tomorrow.

Open your wallets. The days of keeping the money you work hard for are over. This is the end.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end.

Agreed but how do we wake people up?


As for the former post. I have always voted reform ever since i started voting in 1993. Sadly no party exists in Canada that holds my views entirely. Namely fiscal conservatism but liberal social policies.

This is what the liberal party is SUPPOSED to be but unfortunately they are not. The closest anyone comes to how i think in Canada are conservatives.
