This was discussed in the 3rd debate. I dislike how so many don't pay attention to federal politics.
-
Considering a large proportion of people vote the day of or figure out what they want to vote T-1/T-2, I'd say that that's a stretch. I hope you're right! I don't think it's ALL supporters though, isn't it at 68% or something like that?

Of course they would not. Take a look at the poll data, even the supporters of Liberals/NDP don't want that -
Kicking them out of Canada. But that will never happen. The UK is now looking into implementing C24 as well! (not the bill name, but the contents within it)

Oops, sorry for misinterpreting your post. Yes, the NDP have fizzled for sure. I can't seem to find any poll that indicates they have recovered any momentum. And this is at a time that Mulcair says the NDP is looking forward to winning a minority government. #fail

Agreed. If one wants to harm the country in which I call home, they can get the [insert expetive here] out.

Even if you took today's Nanos poll, and you give it the good old Conservative bump, they'd still win. The probability that the Conservatives win is over 50%. The other two, around 25%. So if you were a betting person...

Maybe, maybe not, but perhaps part of the third who doesn't mind running a deficit to pay for mr. terrorist to live for free in prison.

Sure, let's examine this. I work for one of the world's most profitable IT companies, so it's publicly traded. Let's say that 100% of the company's profits were from Canada. Analysts are expecting $.50 per share. Corporate taxes go up, my stock price goes down. Then, I "streamline" jobs and lay off 10,000 people. Stock price goes back up. I cannot see any situation where a corporate tax increase would not cost jobs.

What makes you so sure? I highly doubt the Conservatives will win a majority.
-
The decline of the NDP is barely noticeable versus yesterday.

I propose flipping this question on its head. Does hiking the CIT reduce jobs? Yep.

I think what's he's saying is that the Conservatives will get a majority of the seats, not enough to hold a majority, but "most" of the seats, relative to the other 2 major parties.
-
Why do you think I'm voting Conservative? So my taxes don't go up. The other two clowns basically guarantee my taxes will go up and my TFSA limit goes back down.

What would force each of the federal leaders to resign?
angrypenguin replied to ScottM's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
It's not your fault at all. The CBC's headline duped me too on that article. Someone then went (to me)...uhh, what are you going on about? Of course he wouldn't be PM! Damn CBC. Defund that place! -
You sound more confident than I am, and I'm hoping that Harper wins

You mean with the interview with Mansbridge? No, he said he would cease to be PM if he didn't have the most # of seats. He didn't say he'd go. -

As was pointed out to me yesterday, the Liberals and the Conservatives are still within their margin of error. EKOS/FORUM/Angus all showed the Conservatives ahead, and IIRC outside of their respective margin -

This did not happen in the last election, and the Conservatives definitely polled higher. -
Hey guys. A lot of pro poll readers on here. What do you all make of this? http://www.thestar.com/news/federal-election/2015/10/01/what-the-poll-of-polls-says-about-the-federal-election.html "The Signal" seems interesting.

Obviously the judicial system, but when someone is convicted of terrorism, and is eligible to be freed by 2016, clearly our judicial system has failed. Given the lack of the ability to fix that system, if it came down to them roaming our streets or to be deported from Canada, I vote the latter.
-
But when it fails?
-
I agree. But who would pay for it?

Harper's a smart cookie. I have faith that he'll find something to keep him in power. -
I have no issues jailing them for life, other than the cost, but I'm willing to pay for the cost. The issue is that our judicial system can't do so. One of them is eligible for parole in 2016. Unreal.
