Agreed...it seems that 100% exoneration of Kavanaugh may require incriminating other witnesses. The Democrats still got what they wanted out of Ford.

The link to the poll is in the first entry under this topic. I believe a more recent straw poll by Nanos (i.e. asking a hypothetical question as Bernier's party didn't legally exist when the polling was done) indicated firm and/or leaning support for his group at 17 percent. Given that a significant segment of voters, many of whom pay little attention to politics outside of election periods, are likely unaware of Bernier's party and its policies, it's possible these figures understate the percentage of voters who will or might consider voting for it.

The people should be controlling politicians wages. Not politicians.

I didn't mean external invasion. What I meant was external pressure and support for Iran nation. External support for Iranian people and their struggle and external pressure like pressuring the regime to respect human rights and free political prisoners and threatening them with harsher sanctions. This is what US is doing and this is what Europe must do too instead of prostituting themselves to the mullahs at the expense of Iranian people. While the regime is murdering its citizens and jailing thousands for slightest opposition and selling off the country to Arabs and Russia and keeping the nation of the richest country in the world in poverty and spreading war and terror in the whole region and terrorizing its nation the damn prostitute countries of France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany as seeking ways to continue trade with the regime and lengthen its survival and they claim to be civilized and respect human rights while their own citizens even are in regime jails.

Trump has only exposed Canada's unhealthy economic (and military) dependency on the U.S. for all to see. His claims about tariffs, non tariff barriers, dumping, transshipments, and IP theft are not "delusional"...they are fact. Of course Canada and its putz prime minister Justin Trudeau want to keep the status quo....too bad...those days are over. As for the UN....screw them and the horses they rode in on ! Don't care...Russians...Canadians...Chinese...Mexicans...all the same game to me. Nothing special about deadbeat Canada....they all want a piece of the American pie. I think they know that Trump will not tolerate business as usual, and that includes giving a damn what Canada thinks about it. Trump was elected to break things...and he is doing a great job at that.

Citizen I appreciate all your words. I think though the changes have to be carried out by Iranians. This is because if the people of Iran don't make the change its not a genuine change by the people of its nation it's an external invasion that ignores the legal principle of sovereignty. I do appreciate your pain.

At some point, audience fatigue has to set in. Even Americans are getting tired of all the nonsense....Canadians watching Americans television broadcasts near the border can no doubt see the barrage of midterm election campaign advertising...on top of this Kavanaugh three ring circus.

Democrats are really afraid of this Kavanaugh guy....more than Bork or Thomas.

But this is the root of the growing problem in this country. Many of those who rely on taxpayer funded programs have never paid into the system or have done so only minimally. The Fraser Institute calculates that this problem now costs Canadian taxpayers tens of billions of dollars a year. The assumed "social contract" is breaking down and people, including me, are losing faith in the current system. My preferred solution would be to see the entire social benefits system redesigned to focus eligibility determination on residency requirements and contributions, similar to the American Social Security framework. The respected British economist and Oxford professor Sir Paul Collier has noted that one of the major problems with large-scale migration in developed economies is a decline in social cohesion. This is in significant measure related to the increasing reliance by newcomers on taxpayer funded benefits. Ultimately, if this problem isn't solved, borders will close. It's not a racist analysis. Rather, it's a practical and realistic one. Personally, I think we need people like Bernier raising these issues for the purpose of public debate as our traditional mainstream parties seem content to avoid such debate and castigate as xenophobes, or worse, those who raise objective concerns.

My personal feelings are that there are not enough Canadian politicians who are competent enough or have any character to run Canada. I think that the government of Canada is totally dysfunctional. They all pretty much appear to be politically correct puppet on a string politicians who seem to be only to willing to take their marching orders from the globalist/corporate elite banksters and special interest minority groups. My opinion of course. A lot of good it will do an MP to resign from his party and go independent. Independents really never go anywhere. They just end up being a lone wolf in the vast wilderness.

Nice! The resident bigot is at it again:
