  1. I don't understand why some people feel that rights can somehow be dismissed with a poll or election. What if there was a poll about gay marriage? Would this poll somehow have any relevance? WWWTT
  2. And judges have no say? And what about constitutional rights? WWWTT
  3. Freedom of speach is a costitutional right! Once in a while somebody has to excersice their rights to remind everybody we have them! And besides that,is Harper worried that Washington is listening to the NDP? Or if Washington is more willing to listen to the NDP then why not let the NDP talk? WWWTT
  4. Oh come on man! How many freekin guns do you own? If your a gun collector than there would be an signifigant extra cost to securely store your collection. After all it would be practicaly an armoury! And the removal of a door frame?What was it a 34" door? WWWTT
  5. Thanks for pointing that out jbg. I'm not a big Lightfoot follower but I'm somewhat aware of the folk material or theme. The songs that I am aware of that I believe to be of a more commercial success don't fall in the protest category,but I could be wrong since admitingly I am not the closest Lightfoot fan. WWWTT
  6. Actually if want to get technical,right wing and left are just broad generalizations of where someone situates themself politically. WWWTT
  7. Do you see the contradiction in your comment? WWWTT
  8. Actually as it turns out Pats controversy is opening up the discussion as to "why" he feels frustrated with this conservative government. Whats wrong with that? Should he appologize for creating interest? WWWTT
  9. Heres another angle being used on Sun TV that I have noticed that I find interesting. Apparently they are claiming that Gordon Lightfoots daughter has bein attending and supporting the OCCUPY protests.And claiming that Lightfoot is a multi-millionaire. Now I am not disputing any of these claims. What I find interesting is that Sun TV seems to be desperate to make some supporters sound like they are hypocrits Now this is odd to me because I wasn't aware that the OCCUPY protest was an anti wealth protest. To me I was under the impression that OCCUPY was anti right wing government and corporate policy. Aswell Lightfoot is a folk artist singer/songwriter.And folk singers typically write about hardships and injustice(Lightfoots success I believe does not follow this trend) Is this a weak attempt to drive a wedge between the oppresed and the oppresed voice for change? WWWTT
  10. The dragon's den,Don Cherry,Kevin O'leary. Do I have to prove these are right wingers? Do I have to prove that they can be seen a regular basis on CBC. But would say someone like David Suzuki be able to air some kind of program on Sun TV? Ezra has even been a guest on CBC many times aswell before Sun TV! WWWTT
  11. This is a false statement! The NDP are very rooted in rural Canada and now that Harper got rid of the gun registry their job will be much easier. There are some rural regions in Canada that are exeptions,but hey Harper at one time had a real hard time in urban Canada. WWWTT
  12. Actually I think you are right. You claimed that you felt that the CBC was biased and you provided a link. Yes very good! Next time you feel your opinion is worth something go to the bank or an evaluator and cash in! WWWTT
  13. Actually I errored slightly. In Sas. the NDP received over 32% but 0 seats out of 14. In Manitoba the NDP got 25.8% and only 2 out of 14 seats. However I am still correct in saying that a slight shift in support can result in as many as 20 seats changing hands. WWWTT
  14. You provided a link to someones opinion about the CBC! I guess thats the best you can do. WWWTT
  15. Hey now hold on a second! In the last election the NDP did get alot of support in Manitoba and Saskatchewan,over 30% I believe.They just didn`t get the seats out there to reflect this! An extra few percentage points in their favour can completely turn the tables on the conservatives in these two provinces and as many as 20 seats can change hands! I wouldn`t underestimate the potential the NDP have in uprooting the conservatives! The liberals never had any real chance of doing this but the NDP are not bound as the liberals were. WWWTT
  16. Actually I was a little suprised to see they even had someone representing the left view. But yes I wasn't suprised to see the limited capacity WWWTT
  17. This is completely false! Provide links if you want to add weight to your argument! The CBC is very well rounded. An excellent example would be Evan Soleman! WWWTT
  18. There is logic in Pats choice of words and approach. His tactic appeals to many and will actually increase support. The reform pretty much cornered the market on this "cowboy political" style. If anything critisizing Pat could make the conservatives look like hypocrits. WWWTT
  19. From what I have read Pat used the "F" word. I guess if you are worried about an NDP surge then this would be justification for asking him to step down. Good luck WWWTT
  20. Yesterday I watched some of a debate/discussion on the OCCUPY protests on Sun TV. Man this tv station is so blatantly biased it isn't funny! They had this weak guy representing the left(all the names elude me).Apparently he has a talk show on 1010am radio. Every argument that the right on this network uses is pretty much taken right out of this thread! I was dissapointed to see that there is little or weak rep. for the left. WWWTT
  21. This seems odd? So if the democrats say OK Obama we are not going to back you then does Obama have to step down? Has this ever happened before? Can Obama still run as an independant? Wouldn't this hurt the party and allow the opposing party come up the middle with an easy victory? Its just seems very odd and unlikely to me WWWTT
  22. True the left does counter the "tough on crime" image" with the economics of their proposals. But the point I am trying to make is that the conservatives in Canada are trying to use religion,moral ethics in their campaign style.Much like the Republicans in the US. I find this puts them in somewhat of a contradiction with many Canadian voters because the conservatives are also pro Isreali anti arab.And the Canadian voters that are the most religous are from the Islamic faith. WWWTT
  23. He did not leave much for the imagination. He was definetly an open book! WWWTT
  24. Not necessarily true! It seems like things like hockey and being able to play a musical instrument and sing somehow hit a political chord(no pun intended) come election time in Canada. Aswell isn't the conservative crime bill somewhat of a social issue?Or the conservative alleged image they are trying to project as a tough on crime party? WWWTT
  25. Are you saying Obama cuased this disaster? Really?!?! WWWTT
