Because the conservatives want the banks to profit at the consumers expence! And give them a corporate tax cut at the same time! WWWTT

Yep,that's why Flaherty is just blowing hot wind again. WWWTT

Wouldn't think that if you still knew who cut the GST to 5% from 7%. WWWTT

If you think that taxes didn't have to go up to pay for the war and the loses suffered then it is you that does not know what they are talking about. And yes the cost per plane,per bomb,per soldier,per ship,etc,etc was far cheaper. No guided missles,no nuclear weapons,no nuclear subs,etc,etc. Also the buildings and infrastructure that was destroyed and needed replacing was far cheaper and compared to todays standards required more labour intensive procedures. I personally believe that there has never been a war on the same scale as either of the great wars is because the cost now would be so astronomical that the war would bankrupt everyone into defeat! WWWTT

Boo hoo hoo,my name is Rob Ford and everybody is picking on me,it's not fair,these people are not playing fair,boo hoo hoo,I'm Rob Ford,I'm Rob Ford!I'm Rob _____' Ford!!!! That's what Rob Ford and his defenders sound like. The Ford brothers are using their own money to pay for all expences related to their job(council and mayor),which in my opinion should be illegal,if not a criminal offence. This act creates a false sence of ability granted to the perpetrator. The voters fall into the false belief that everyone should spend their own money to pay for their employers expences. As far as I'm concerned,this act should be made illegal,then the Ford brothers can be charged and locked up for good! WWWTT

Different mind set all together. Also the cost of war at the time was less,or perhaps I shoud say the cost of the war machine was less. Also,there was an incredible loss suffered on all sides. But an increase in taxes solved everything now didn't it. WWWTT

Pakistan has proven your opinion wrong! Argue with the fact that Pakistan HAS and openly TESTED nucleaar weapons! WWWTT

Wrong again! Military expenditures add little value or return. Only when an aggressor is landing on your shores is there any real return. Simply put,1 billion spent on hospitals or schools or power generation give a way bigger bang for the buck as opposed to 1 billion in fighter jets. That's why the Soviet Union collapsed! WWWTT

That's about an in depth answer/comment as "Just watch me" Want to elaborate or expand as to some explanation into how the vote will split between the liberals and NDP. From the info I looked at,it suggests that the split will come from the conservatives and liberals,giving the NDP the by! WWWTT

The US abondoned billions of dollars in military hardware that had to be replaced at the end,not to mention the cost during. Military expenditures are unlike most others,espesially infrastructure costs. Infrastructure expenditures improve the country overall(healthcare,education,clean water,etc,etc) So therefore military costs do not have the same return. WWWTT

I have read one estimate that approximately 2 000 people died every year under Saddam from 91 to 03.(political unrest) And that 5 times now die every year since Saddam is now gone.(that would be 10 000/year due to political unrest) It seems like almost every other day I hear about some mass bombings where at least a dozen people die. The middle east is something messed up and I think it's best to let them solve their own problems. I am sure they will evolve to a higher level,but if we force it on them,it's going to come back to haunt us. WWWTT

Agreed. Vietnam was also a pain in the economy.I believe the recession during the early 80's,some claimed there was a link. WWWTT

I find two points interesting.The first is the low Quebec interest. Reason is because the conservatives believe the liberal growth will come at the NDP expense. I do not think low Quebec interest will translate in high Quebec liberal voter turn out needed to take support away from the NDP Turns out the strongest place for the liberals are in Ontario.But Ontario is conservative territory??? The other point would be the age of most registered to vote.50 and above. It's in my opinion that with the higher age bracket and location,the conservative base will erode in Ontario. WWWTT

Of the 300 000 who signed up to vote in the liberal leadersip finale,only 117 000 have registered (40%) Where the age is known,59% are over 50.13% are from 25 to 34,19% 35 to 49 and 8% are under 25. 46% of the total are from Ontario and only 11% are from Quebec. To me,these numbers are proof that the liberals are starting to deflate. Also that much of their intitial support will fade away very fast and is not reliable. If my assumption is true,then the liberals real numbers put them at arount 18-20% support. And when Justin starts to really answer the questions?????? Any thoughts as to what registration numbers mean? WWWTT

The pikins must be getting a little slim when a shallow Q and A become a thread topic. The question should have read "Justin,if you think you can defeat Harper,HOW will you do it?" But that would involve more than a three word answer,and that's where Justin moves into uncharted and troubling waters! Something tells me that this guy is going to be the next Dec.21/2012 WWWTT

Once again the consumer is taking a kick in the crotch from the conservative government! Its up to the middle class to pull our economy up(because those corporate tax cuts are just not working). But for some reason now the conservatives think we got it to good??? WWWTT

That was a war created by foreign colonists that could not let go. Same thing happened with Portugal/Angola/Mozambique. The harder to let go,the bigger the loss. WWWTT

3 numbers for you 9/11 WWWTT

To summarize what I have read in this thread I would say that on one side there are those who feel that this invasion was moraly wrong.On the other,it was justified because the US is almighty and capable. But that "almighty" reason seems to ring hollow. The US never goes up against a formidable opponent alone. Iraq was severely weakened from the first gulf war and years of sanctions and incursions. Then after months of intelligence gathering from their UN inspector spies,they calculated the risk was worth it. And bingo,the US walks through and leaves an entire country in chaos. The US only figured out how to get rid of the "bad guy" and not how to rebuild the country. It's obvious that the US never cared about the Iraq people. WWWTT

Yes very true,Ford is only interested in the retail side of politics! Also he is trying to create a climate where only wealthy people are able to be in municipal(Toronto) politics,and that is very wrong! WWWTT
