Actually the baby boomers go all the way to 1965-66. PET himself and pretty much every MP,senator,MPP,premier,judge in the 60's,70's(mostly anyways) and into the 80's were not baby boomers.Aswell most of the voters not until the 80's were boomers.Actually the boomers didn't start taking control until the 80's.Who was the prime minister then? Even now Harper has bein racking up the deficit like theres no freekin tomorrow buddy!But according to you somehow it is still PET's fault.Anybody but the conservatives right? WWWTT

Actually yesterday I saw a three way debate about this topic on "Power and politics" on the CBC. And the conservative MP(his name eludes me now) kept harping about how the liberals mismanaged EI over five years ago. Is this how the conservatives are going to handle any criticism for the next four years,by blaming the previous liberals? Man alot of Canadians are going to be happy to see Harper and company go in four years! WWWTT

Hey sorry to bother you guys. But what does these military machines have to do with federal politics? You guys should ask the moderators to start a specific heading for military weapons,machinery aviation and you get the idea.There definetely seems to be enough of you guys interested to make it a popular heading. WWWTT

I have noticed I made an error in my previous comment on this thread. I made the claim of .333% of the boomers bein born by the time our national debt started and .666% not being born yet. This should have read 33% and 66% respectively.0.333% is actualy one third of one percentage and 0.666% is two thirds of one percent. My apologies! WWWTT

I don't think you have a good concept of time and/or mathematics. Government debt in Canada started around the 1950's when only about .333% of the boomers were born. 0.666 of the boomers were still not even born yet let alone in any position of power to make any relevant decissions! By the mid 60's when the final boomer was born,national debt was well established and most voters(18+) were comfortable with the level of debt at that time.Keep in mind by this time only a small percentage of voters were actually boomers and absolutely no boomers were elected politicians with any actual say. I don't think it was until sometime well into the 80's or even the early 90's when the boomers had the majority say (voter power) and political status to actualy have the final say where the debt was going.And by this time The Canadian governments started to at least try to get it under control. So knowing these facts makes me wonder your intent behind your comments. WWWTT

Excellent points being made here! Please keep them coming,and please if not asking too much please provide links! Thnx WWWTT

I believe I heard somewhere the last of the boomeres were born around 1965 or 66. And with better medical treatments and using the odds in relation to the increased numbers involved I would make a strong guess that there will be numerous individuals that will live to be over 110 years old! This will bring us to the year of 2075-76 or so. Did you ever think of how old you would be by then? WWWTT

Thats a very vague statement! Much like what you would hear from astrology! Very open to interpretation. I would use caution and beware! WWWTT

Oh so Canada is returning to only peace keeping missions,when did McKay make this announcement? WWWTT

So now your opinion is Canadas foriegn policy? Field is short for battlefield. Losen the hat buddy. WWWTT

Yes your right because Canadas sovereignty is liscensed. Harper and the conservatives can sue for patent/copyright infingement! WWWTT

Sounds like you've got your hat so freeking screwed down its covering your eyes from actually reading! WWWTT

Reading is not one of your strong points is it Shady? Canada only saves money when there are Canadian troops in the "field"! Why is there any freekin troops in the "field" anyways! Was Canada invaded?And by whom? Time to pull our troops back home!And keep them here!As a deterent from any country invading us. WWWTT

At the end of March (24) the NDP will be holding their leadership convention. I have signed up and ready to go!

Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to meet some of the top contenders.I know a couple high ranking union reps welcoming my participation so this should be a good weekend for me! Vote NDP! WWWTT

Is this how you answer a question?With a question? WWWTT

Did you thouroughly think your comment through before posting it? On 9/11,the most prestigeous military facility in the world was successfuly targeted and you claim that it is not the military's responsibility for their defence?(pentagon) Can you please explain to me how the police,intelligence and leadership are going to stop a plane flying near freekin mach 1 within minutes of colliding with a freekin structure? WWWTT

My appologies,I should have elaborated. NORAD,as a result of the events related to 9/11 has shown that it is as usefull as a car without important components/functions such as reverse gear. WWWTT

Yes its actually funny. Really the thread would be more appropriately titled "If you had absolute,unquestioned total control over every juridiction and aspect of Canada and definition of.Regardless of concern from its citizens/voters,etc,etc well you get the idea. If anyone had this kind of power the corruption would leed to unimanginable devastation! WWWTT

Actually your statement reminds me about a joke. This guys is looking for a used car to drive back to his home province(U know which one). He finds one he likes.And asks the seller whats the matter with the vehicle.The seller tells him that the reverse gear is broken.The buyers sais "Oh thats OK cause I am not coming back" WWWTT

Actually China is the largest investor in green energy WWWTT

Actually Harpers conservative government has made it easier for construction trade workers to immigrate to Canada.Because there is a shortage now and will be in the foreseeable future. WWWTT

Gay marriage its seems,has become a hot topic! And the unlikely knight in shining armour defending the rights of gays has become the conservative party. The conservative party? Wow who would have thought the party that wanted to ban gay marriage just a few years ago has now become the most vocal in defending gay rights?!?! I thought this party drew much support from people whom opposed alternative lifestyle? WWWTT

Sorry but your opinion does not trump my experience. Unless you can provide reliable links? WWWTT

It seems that alot of people commenting here are looking too much into this.(my opinion) I personaly believe that this person may not have actually had expected to be elected 8 months ago and now wants to shrug of the responsibility associated with the official opposition,but still wants to be an MP? But maybe thats not juicy and controversial enough for MLW? WWWTT

Aswell many inter-racial,inter-religious marriages are not recognized in some countries around the world! Are you saying that these other countries should influence us in Canada in some way? WWWTT
