a number of ridings were very close...the NDP dropped a few seats in the wee hours of last night as the last polls started reporting....there are a number of mandatory recounts for several ridings; it could take a while before the actual seat count is final |

The ONLY way he get can get anything passed is by getting a majority in parliament to vote it in. This means he has 2 choices, the Bloc or the Conservatives.
The NDP did not win enough seats to be counted on alone when it comes to voting the passage of a bill. This is why i call on MArtin to work with the Conservatives and not the Bloc in order to get something done in parliament.
So you see... i do have a clue.. |
the liberals are closer to the Bloc and NDP on most issues than they are with the cons. This means that won't have any trouble passing new laws and measures.
If let say they want that missile defense for example then they'll have no choice but go with the cons...
The liberals will have many options to get their things going. |

Actually... the Liberals and Conservatives are closer in many ways. The Liberals are pretty closet conservatives with politically correct thinking (or red tories as most people refer to them as).
This is why Martin forced out the lefter leaning Liberals such as Sheila Copps.
Read the 2 platforms of the parties and then tell me that the Liberals and Conservatives are radically different.
PS did you know that on Sunday our Foreign Affairs minister announced he'd be sending Canadian troops to Iraq under a NATO command?
Canada..... shafted again! |

are they similar in regard to the social issues? or that the Liberals want to keep the public health care system PUBLIC? or how about the foreign policy?
don't kid yourself.
Nato are sending troops as a peace keepin mission (UN is involved too). Canada is part of NATO and supports almost every UN mission. Canada is only doing what it has done many times. This is not an invasion and destruction mission that the Cons were supporting last year.:rolleyes: |

In Lieberal attack ads they said "Harper would support sending troops to iraq" leading people to believe that they wouldnt.
Also under the Lieberals we have had an INCREASE in private clinics in Canada. Why just the other day i visited a private walk in clinic. The service of course was paid by OHIP but it was a for profit company providing the service. I only waited 20 mins too! |

they wouldn't and they didn't....troops are now being sent as part of a PEACEKEEPING mission; something Canada has a worldwide reputation for...it is NOT the same thing as sending troops as part of an invasion or war exercise.... |

This is exactly why i said that the lieberal campaign was nothing but scaremongering and half truths. Sending troops to Iraq no matter what the reason still puts them in harms way which is what the Liberal party was playing on to get votes.
Deception..... get used to it Ontario... you voted for them! |

Wait...you mean Canada actually has troops??? :toothless
Last time I checked they didn't even have the apropriate uniforms :toothless |
|

| Jayx1 |
| Yup, and harper wanted to change all that. Hard to have a peacekeeping force when you cant even transport them overseas isnt it? |
|
|
| starsearcher |
Canada doesn't really need troops...
But whatever's there now should be better supported...don't get all excited though JX i'm not a cons supporter :thepirate |
