So no link, just your opinion. Got it.

Not surprising that the young with no meaningful work experience have helped vote in a young man with no meaningful work experience.

You got a link to back up that claim?

Hehehe....6,943,276 votes, or 39.5% for Junior, 5,613,614 votes, or 31.9% for Harper. Yeah that's "solidly behind" all right haha.

Canadians solidly behind Trudeau....except for the ones that gave the conservatives 100 seats.

So no link....just your opinion then. Got it. BTW, while you're looking for that link maybe you can also find one showing that "many" of the voters in the leave camp are regretting their decision.

So the fallout has already happened. Boy that didn't take long. You not even gonna wait and see if it's just a blip in the grand scheme of things. Poor progressives lives have been ruined....oh the humanity! BTW do you have a link that shows the remain side was "progressive" and the leave side was "right wing"? Oh and you should try to get your misplaced anger under control, especially over something that voters in another country (where you don't live) have voted on. But it does not surprise me that some "progressive" in Canada would want to have a say in what voters in another country want. Maybe the "leave" side was sick and tired of people running their lives from another country. How ironic eh?

If you're that pissed now, just wait til you're old and retired and have some youngster complaining that you are enjoying the fruits of your labor after working for them 30-40 years.

I was born in Ottawa. But that's not what I say when someone asks me where I am from. I tell them where I'm living now. What's your point?

You're words are so kind and gentle. Thanks!

No, you are wrong, that's not what he said. Your post is a perfect example of crying "racism" when you have nothing else.

Ahhh....the kinder, gentler left!

Those on the left rejoice anytime they get to stick it to the "white man".

Yeah, just like when it was Harper. Because, conservatives!!!

Really??? Only you, Squid and Peter F. smh

Yes, because we all know that everything is Harper's fault. Except of course for those things that were Harris' fault.

Nice deflection....the color thing. Nobody on the left commenting on the comparison between Harper's/Trudeau's appointee's being partisan. Typical deflection. Harper Bad...Trudeau Good.

Yeah Argus, he never said anything against Harper. Because he supported Harper then. Since the election Smallc is a Liberal. See a trend here?

Thanks for the civil response, I guess my last comment was out of line....I am sorry. It was under Mulroney that the phrase "everyone will need to tighten their belts" first started being uttered by politicians, and they have been telling us that ever since. College tuition fees are set by the institutions themselves, not government so I don't think you have an argument there. The original costs of infrastructure are far greater than the cost of maintaining infrastructure. Yes some politicians have kicked that can down the road, but it isn't because of a lack of tax revenue. It's because of the myriad of useless programs and ever increasing wages and benefits for government employees that chokes the system. Schools are being closed because enrollment is down, yet the cost to taxpayers continues to rise. I am a bit confused with your second reference to tuition fees. Do you mean for secondary? I thought we didn't pay tuition fees for secondary. If you're referring to post secondary, then see above. In Ontario the McGuinty government added the healthcare tax...$600/year for an average family, yet many healthcare services were de-listed during the same time. Yes us oldtimers are paying that tax as well. In addition to tuition fees, other things have increased in cost at a rate that outpaces inflation. Gas, insurance, many household goods included. Even the cost of food has skyrocketed. But those things are not provided by taxpayers, so I do not agree with your assessment. In fact I have seen many programs and services added or increased in the last several years. Programs and services that were NOT available to my generation. I can remember while my wife had just started back to work after her 6 month maternity leave and watched the Chretien government change it to one year maternity leave. That is one anecdotal example that I can think of off the top of my head. I will agree that ever since I can remember, taxes have continued to increase, yet services are continually being cut or clawed back. I blame that on the burgeoning cost of government employees and their benefits. So yeah, we had more things covered by healthcare back in the day, but us boomers didn't need those services then. Now that we do, things are being cut to pay for programs for the "younger" generation who has more votes to offer. I guess everyone believes "their" generation has it (or had it) tougher than anyone else. It's not like we enjoyed some kind of "golden ladder". My family struggled for many years, but both of us working (for over 40 years) has made it more comfortable for us. Maybe you were expecting to have what we now have at 30 yrs old.

Can you give some examples of how he was incompetent. Thanks!

There's those comments again that seem to imply that older Canadians have had some sort of "free ride" that is not available for the younger generation of today. First, I would like to see you provide a list of benefits that my generation received in their "golden ladder" that the younger generation did not. I asked you for this once before and, as I suspected, no answer came. So let's hear it Kimmy, back up your claim. Second, think about whom you are blaming for this. Conservatives over the years have advocated for less government and less spending, but it's the Liberals who want to blow the deficit up to 30B and damn the cost to future generations (see Right Honorable Justin Trudeau and his fawning followers for a perfect example). And you want to blame aging conservatives for this??? BTW, who is it that is "at the top" and can you provide a link of some sort to back up your bs. Thanks!!

Ah, so then it could be interpreted to mean any religion. If the reference to "God" encompasses all religions, then why should it be removed from the anthem? Who is being "excluded"?

Somehow I don't think you'll have the same youth turnout when the legalization of "pot" isn't an issue anymore.
