If I remember correctly, the conservative riding association president/executive wanted him gone ASAP!!!! Looks like they finally got their act together! Anders was popular within the party because he can raise money! Don't count this guy out, he's a career politician and there's still lots of nomination meetings left till the next election! WWWTT

Then why do we have judges???? That's just a crazy thing to suggest there! The job of our justice system is to improve society! Judges need the proper tools to do so, and this was the case before Harper started to play politics with a big part with a government branch that has a big influence on our society! I believe that previous governments could have done a better job in doing this, but Harper and the conservatives are going backwards! WWWTT

Ya from what I've read, Liepert is no heavens send! Only shows how crappy the pickens are. WWWTT

Actually Kenney should have kept his mouth shut! It is very odd for an MP or MPP to take sides in an riding association nomination meeting! The PM also took sides from a link that I read earlier which is very odd??? There could be a revolt brewing in the conservative ranks. But if there is, their keeping a good lid on it now. WWWTT

Here's a couple more links that's going to turn some heads to say the least! http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/ And then this one! http://www.debka.com/article/23841/?utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=twitterfeed Looks like the entire Ukraine is going to be another Russian province at this rate! WWWTT

Here's a link that's going to really stir the pot in this thread! http://syncreticstudies.com/2014/04/11/castrated-kiev-junta-buckles-military-refuses-orders/ According to the link, it looks like the military is disobeying the Junta government in Kiev! We'll see what happens there. WWWTT

I agree with this comment. I would add that our system is neither a true democracy! We only have the right to vote for someone, who in turn then votes on and has the ability to forward motions budgets amendments etc. etc. Including federal, provincial and municipal levels of government, I would estimate the odds of anyone actually ever having the opportunity to forward a bill budget etc. or voting on one is around 1 in 50 000! I wouldn't doubt that you have a better chance of voting/ forwarding legislation in any stereo typical dictatorship country! WWWTT

Ya I think that after Mandela died, it came out how he wanted Mandela to remembered as he put it "a terrorist and a communist". I believe that this was just too much for the conservatives to bear! WWWTT

Never said you were wrong about anything. Just pointed out that with further research, you may find a lot more cases where the courts knocked down laws. Marihuana reform is another. Cretein was supposed to reform the laws but it is only now that there is some rekindled talk about doing so (very ironic since it is the conservative government?!?!?) WWWTT

Here's another link with some more info. Not sure how reliable it is, but hey it's something! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2603075/Co-pilot-missing-flight-MH370-desperate-call-mobile-phone-AFTER-aircraft-lost-normal-communication-ground.html WWWTT

Gay marriage! Didn't the supreme court of Canada have some kind of say there? But I believe that previous governments did try to stay more in line with the charter. I pointed out the McGuinty government to show that it's just not the conservatives that treat the charter with low regard when it suits them. WWWTT

Same as in Canada and the US! As far as policy goes, do you have an English link to back that one up? WWWTT

Same here! Who's this "We vote Canada" poster anyways? Sounds like he/she is just trying to push their web sites, not a real poster. I'm not going to get involved in this thread because of the poster whom started it! WWWTT

Off the top of my head there's the McGuinty special G8/G20 laws rammed through QP. Didn't take the SCC to shoot that one down. Then there was the prostitution laws. But that was appealed by the conservatives. Also I can remember the municipal laws banning home owners raising chickens. There was a threat that it was going to be challenged in the courts alleging that the law was not in line with the charter (and I agree). Municipalities across Canada dropped that law so fast that the story was soon forgotten! Another one I heard on the municipal level that was going to be challenged via charter was laws forcing homeowners to clean snow and ice from publicly owned sidewalks in front of their house. Haven't heard of follow up. As far as saying you're wrong. In order to provide the links/examples, a lot of work has to be done researching. Probably why you made the comment that you did. Like I said before, with some research, I'm sure there's a ton more examples! This a well known famous way of governments getting around the Charter, just create new laws that are in violation, and force those that are charged to fight them. What really has been changing over the last 10-15 years is that courts, judges and the SCC are becoming more pro active in challenging the un constitutional laws. But it still takes a tremendous of financial burden on the behalf of private citizen funds! We're still a long ways away from a real true democracy! WWWTT

Here's a little reality for those who can't exactly remember how history really went! Mind you, this was the USSR, not Russia! WWWTT

I doubt that. Harper has well over 80+ people on his staff and consults with legal professionals all the time. If anything, he probably argues with the legal advise and goes against their consultation for the sake of playing up to those that are making the political donations! WWWTT

Probably a lot more than what you might think if you researched it. Other lower courts can also reject the un constitutional laws too! WWWTT

I don't think that secrecy is the thing that is holding them back. This entire incident must be seriously having a tremendous impact on their tourism industry. http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVkBfWkpTrQwAXvIXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMG04Z2o2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1397410527/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fTourism_in_Malaysia/RK=0/RS=J7FXZ5g6fv9pTnsGZmG6ELncG_o- As you can see from the link, tourism is being pushed heavily by the government, you would think that encouraging reassuring safe flight to Malaysia would be at the top of the list. Not to mention the geography of the country. WWWTT

Please provide the link. I am interested in this subject and would appreciate you follow up on a thread you started. My son was born this way. WWWTT

Yes I do! I don't hold "democracy" with such high esteem as you may. Democracy provides fantastic opportunities for special interest groups with wealth to buy elections and politicians! WWWTT

They are discussing an issue relevant to this thread I believe. WWWTT

You know what Waldo, at one time I agreed with you. But at some point of time I realized that this is not my site, nor am I a moderator. I'm just a participant with a general understanding of the rules to work within. Try to understand that CA has experience in moderating this site and he is using his experience to better it. I don't have his experience so I have to trust his at some point of time. I still disagree that MH is a regular contributor here, this gives him an unfair advantage in debating, nor can you put him on ignore as any other poster, BIASED! That's all bro, nothing personal. WWWTT

Maybe Greg is in jail? I hear incarceration can suck up a lot of your free time. Anyways, that's his business. I hope he feels better soon! Can't wait to see the new changes. WWWTT
