Bull puckey?Never heard that one before. Anyways if you do not like our constitution then why are you arguing with me about how it is written? Section 6 is very clear about ONLY citizens having the right to enter Canada,travel freely,earn money and vote. Cheney and Clinton(or anyone else who is not a citizen) clearly do not have the right to enter Canada for any purpose.And when they are IN Canada they do not have the right to earn money,travel freely and vote. If however Clinton or Cheney were to express their opinion then they have the right to do so(such as participate in a television interview while on a fishing trip in Canada and not be given any money for the interview) This is not the case if they are offered money to do an interview or sell tickets at a convention. However there may be something in a trade agreement between the Canada and the US that would allow them the right to do so.You will have better luck there then in the constitution because the constitution is clear on this matter. And as a side note I would never pay one freekin red cent to attend any seminar from any American politician!Nor would I waste my time to protest one.If someone else wants to protest any politician for anything then all the power to them!Just the act of protesting would give that politician the aknowledgment that they had some kind of influence over others. WWWTT

Let the record show that the conservatives did not run attack adds against Turmel,how you interpret that is your opinion. If Turmel was a ticking time bomb then the conservatives are showing an unusual high amount of discipline/restraint in not attacking her. WWWTT

Yes I am suprised because I clearly heard that the French police or investigators were looking for someone from the military with neo nazi ties. Was there not an attack on a soldier from North Afrikan decent?Was security not beefed up at Jewish AND Muslim schools? The trail was pointing in that direction. But anyways I am happy to hear that the perpetrator will no longer be preying on people. This guy obviously was spun out of wack and had to be stopped! WWWTT

This is fale! The leader is ultimately the best figurehead for the party,or the members would have never elected them(an argument can be made however in the case of the liberals). In the case for the NDP I believe the leader can have strong influence,but never dictate. WWWTT

You are engaging in pure speculation and fantasy! If Mulcair won he can not take control of the direction of NDP policy!He can influence it if he wishes,aswell he can be a good spokesperson/figurehead/face for the NDP.But never dictate policy. If Mulcair lost the leadership he would never leave because the NDP are on the verge of forming government and he would be right up there with a high profile cabinet position!He would have never joined the NDP in the first place if he ever believed that the NDP would never have some signifigant success! And as far as where the liberals stand on the political spectrum?If I was a conservative I would be more worried about the liberals coming closer to the right!Obviously the SS liberal has picked up anchor and is sailing further to the right,they clearly have sailed out of the left and are not looking back. WWWTT

First off,Mulcair as of this day is NOT the leader,he is the frontrunner in the leadership race but not the leader! Secondly Ed Broadbent is NOT in the leadership race,nor an MP. These are two distinctions the NDP have from the liberals concerning this scenario. This second fact is important because after the leader is chosen,Ed can easily step away. I emphasize this by pointing out that Pat Martin has clearly bein asked whom he supports in the leadership race.And I distinctly heard him on the CTV program "Question Period" that he will not say because he wishes to remain nuetral(or something like that). And as far as the conservatives attacking Turmel goes,absolutely agree that a counter attack would have bein in order! But for some reason the conservatives did not do this.Was it because they have no money?Turmel has bein compared to Stephen Dion when she speaks English wouldn't this be enough to make the conservatives salivate at the opportunity to attack an opponent? Maybe they considered this but realized the risk and decided to play it safe and just attack Rae? WWWTT

What is this? What does quality have anything to do with determining the number of unemployed in Canada without the number of people that are currently in the job market or essentialy without sufficient data???! WWWTT

Ok then if Canadas unemployment rate is %7.4,then how many Canadians are unemployed? And then lets compare that to say 20 years ago,if the unemployment rate was even higher at say %12(by the way these are somewhat acurate examples of the unemployment rate). By just looking at these numbers you do not know exactly how many Canadians are unemployed do you? To do this you need to know the quantity of people in Canada that are currently in the job market to determine the quantity of people who are unemployed. I think you are getting confused because the quantity of the rate is being numericly expressed.Say the unemployment rate is at 7%The numerical value or quantity of the rate is expressed with the number 7(or as 0.07 when calculating).This is not the same as the quantity of the unemployed which is expressed as a number and never as a percentage. If you are under the impression that the actual quantity of the unemployed can be accurately described soley as a percentage,then I hope you do not work for revenue Canada! WWWTT

No its not! Rate is defined as a pecentage. However a rate can be used to calculate a numerical sum but stand alone it is a percentage.ex. unemployment rate is 10%,number of people seeking employment/in the job market is 10,therefore 1 person is unemployed.10 is the rate and 1 is the quantity of unemployed out of the quantity of 10 in the job market. WWWTT

When the leader of the NDP is chosen I will stand 100% for him/her and continue to contribute to the party. Keep in mind that the the NDP are going through a leadership race wich you are giving no value.The liberals are not in the same position. There is a difference between a good scrapy spar within the party fold vs allowing a rival political party to run scathing attack adds against your interm leader without being countered. Let me put it this way,if the conservatives tried to pull the same stunt against the NDP,I guarantee the NDP would unanimously counter. WWWTT

Yes in comment #54 by Topaz he states the most unemployment.What do you think he meant by that?The most unemployment rate or the most uneployed? I interpreted it as the most unemployed.I was not lying! By the way the word "most" is a quantitive adjective/adverb. WWWTT

This is what you wrote right? The site you provided only goes back to 1974 so it does not cover all of Canadas history. Aswell I recall seeing a stat that some time in the 50's the unemployment rate was around only 5%(but I can not find it now unfortunetly) In adition some of these stats are somewhat misleading,back in the 50's many women were stay at home moms(a legitamit occupation!)but was that fact taken into account when compulating? WWWTT

No I do not agree with this statement! Dick Cheney was not coming to Canada to soley engage in free speech. He was coming to Canada to earn money from speeking! Cheney can use satelite/telephone or internet to do this,however no one would give him money to go attend a seminar where he does not make a live performance and only appears on a big screen via internet or phone or something like that. So therefore he is not protected by the constitution since he is not a Canadian citizen and the citizens of Canada constitutionaly trump him! The constitution is just is not granting a non citizen the right to come to Canada to earn money for conducting speeches.(aswell if Cheney was to conduct a speech via satellite from the US he still is not protected by the constitution because he would not be within the juristiction of Canadian law) WWWTT

Not true! First the NDP are going thrue a leadership race and heated debates are the norm(I actually encourage it!) And the NDP does not have the history to support this claim. However the liberals do! Aswell this guy making the claims to not defend Rae(his name eludes me and the site you provided takes too long to click up) is trying to let the conservatives smear Rae to clear the path for his own leadership agenda.This pretty much falls in line with the liberal historical in fighting. WWWTT

Yep this is why I think its funny when some people think the liberals will be the official oppostion again next election(or the next 15years). They are still divided and fighting amongst themselves just as much now as ever! WWWTT

Ya Harper looks like he is disabled and is rolling along in a wheelchair,whats so funny about that? This is pathetic humour and very borderline! If you guys will laugh at imaginary tire-tits and tire-balls you would laugh at anything! WWWTT

Thank you! WWWTT

And can someone who is not a Canadian citizen have the right to enter Canada for any of these purposes? WWWTT

This Hour Has 22 Minutes did a spoof on this last night. Wasn't that funny then and not very funny now. WWWTT

Which in my opinion when the government does so it is unconstitutional! I hope the pilots are successfull with their court actions! WWWTT

Where in the constitution does it say that someone who is not a Canadian citizen has the right to enter Canada for to purpose to freely express themeselves? WWWTT

Go back and read! The constitution applies to people "in" Canada because only Canadian law is applicable and Canadian law is not enforced outside of Canada! Cheney is not a Canadian citizen so he does not have the right to enter Canada!And constitutional rights do not extend to people who are not Canadian citizens and are not within Canada! And upon entering he does not have the right to earn money from making a public speech/seminar/etc! Yes maybe I could have bein a little more specific but that does not matter because this Cheney caracter would only come here to line his pockets. You think this guy would come here for free or at cost? If you believe that then you got bigger problems in life buddy. The same(similar) is also applicable when foreign media wants to set up shop in Canada and has to ask the CRTC for permission. This is different when domestic media/broadcasters publish/broadcast questionable material. WWWTT

Yes you are right. But does someone who is not a citizen of Canada have the right to enter Canada,move freely,earn money and vote? Nope! But the charter clearly reads that Canadian citizens have the right to do so! In other words not everyone is equall under the constitution and Canadian citizens enjoy "more" rights. WWWTT

Yes I will not contest you on this. However it is my belief that there should be.Just my opinion. WWWTT

Nope under section 6 only citizens are given the right to earn money! If Cheney came here and spoke for free thats a different story,but thats not the case is it. WWWTT
