The AG just asked the SCoC for a 6 month extension.

Ranked ballots favor the liberals as stated earlier the liberals would be everyone's second choice. FPTP favour the Conservatives.

What percentage of prostitutes are on crack?

A lot of people clueless on this subject. Nice to see people referring to "Escorts" as "Street Workers". Escorts are NOT Street Workers.

I want to jump in on this and the problem with our new prostitution laws is that is paints ALL sex workers with the same paint brush. exploited, drug addicted, abused etc. Like some have pointed out their are survival sex workers and they make up around 10% of the sex trade in Canada. The other 90% are "indoor" sex workers mostly working from condo's and hotels. Some of these women charge $300 per hour they are not victims. As for pimping it is illegal and it should be. As for Johns studies have showed that 10% of men have paid for sex before in their life. This could be your dad, son, boss, co-worker, neighbor, think about that. Anyways Bill C-36 is a terrible bill and is one of many reasons why Canadians made the right choice in government on October 19.

JT is expected to ask the SC for an extension of 6 months. I wonder if they will give it to him.

I believe that we need to have strong democratic institutions in the long run will have a strong economy if we have strong democratic institutions.

I hope that within 4 years we have electoral reform and have a proper representation of everybodies point of view in Canada.

Title says all.

How trustworthy is Nanos?

Anyone think the Jays game will effect the polls?

^^^^ I'm really hoping for this kind of seat projection.

Is it safe to say at this point that the Conservatives will NOT win a majority?

I can't see a world where the NDP drops below 50 seats. They will likely end up with 60-80 seats.

Anything short of a Conservative Majority and Harper is a goner.

Now that the federal election campaign has started it's important to have an adult conversation regarding assisted physician dying. There is a lack of doctors who will know how to deliver this service, it's important to have a plan in place to train these doctors.

Guessing who will be minister is part of the fun.

Similar to the other thread on Canada's next Finance Minister. Who do you think will be Canada's next Justice Minister now that Peter Mackay is leaving, which Conservatives are possible replacements? Sean Casey is a Liberal Justice Critic and Francoise Bovine is the NDP Justice Critic. This will be an important Cabinet position because the new Minister will have to act on assisted suicide in Canada. New drunk driving laws and potentially start a policy reform exercise regarding marijuana.

I can't help, but smile.

Are they going to conduct an online poll to see what Canadian attitudes are towards assisted dying? It's important to have nation wide consultations.

They will be starting soon. Will you be lobbying any MP's?

I know this is a little off topic, but when do 2015 federal election signage's go up on people's lawn?

When is the house of commons voting on Bill C51?

When is the Federal Election Debate?

The point being if the person it under his or her free will; is allowed to establish a business and is allowed to advertise that you are available for the service. How can you target the person who receives those services and than pays for those services being a criminal? Point being you should have to reach a threshold of hurt before the government can throw you in jail it's not enough to say sex work is "inherently exploitative" because it's not. I fail to see the legality of criminality for the person who purchase those services from someone who is under his or her own free will.
