Yea, Fantino and McKay have been in damage control since the opposition started pressing about this issue. Now they're finally admitting that they'll reconsider the contract. It only took years of chiding from the NDP for them to finally listen.

It proves he's not a liar.

Well, we could raise corporate taxes by 10% and save $1 Billion/year that way.

Agreed. I think most people tend to simply look at jobs lost here and jobs lost there, when it is just as important to look at the type of job and what that job actually contributes to society.

We should take the saved money from these planes and pump it into more episodes of Royal Canadian Air Farce.

A fee is not a tax. Taxes are usually a percentage of something whereas fees are typically lump sums.

Fantino gets tactical. Fantino executes tactical retreat on F-35 jets - The Globe and Mail

Looks good on the NDP to be leading another unanimous motion. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/03/14/pol-drug-shortage.html

I was watching the debate between Dion and Julian last night on CBC, and Dion was an absolute fail. He was obfuscating facts, interrupting Julian, and just being a complete shit the whole time. It was a complete farce.

These are just puff points from the CPC spokesholes. The truth is that our economy has been on the decline and Flaherty missed his budget projections.

We buy We don't buy We buy We don't buy We .... don't know if we buy? "We have not as yet discounted, the possibility, of course, of backing out of any of the program," Fantino, associate minister of national defence, told the House defence committee Tuesday. "None of the partners have. We are not. And we’ll just have to think it through further as time goes on, but we are confident that we will not leave Canada or our men and women in uniform in a lurch, but it’s hypothetical to go any further right now." Fantino's comments mark a change in tone from previous answers to questions about the possibility of rising costs and design problems with the Lockheed Martin fighter jets. He had previously left no possibility the government is exploring other options or considering pulling out of the agreement with allies like the United States, Norway, Italy and Australia. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/03/13/pol-fantino-steps-back-f35s.html

wut?

He's like a used car salesman trying to convince me to buy his pinto.

Woops!

I still think Mulcair is the best man for the job. Cullen's idea of party convergence is completely unnecessary, and he comes off as pretty greasy.

Link?

No, he's been going on about Attawapiskat for ages and he's the only reason that Harper is feeling the thorn of first nations in his side. Hell, he's the sole reason that the media was truly buzzing late last year on this issue. He did very well on that file. Just watch QP. If anything, the irony of the OP really shows - this guy can silence the entire house when he speaks and thrashes anyone reciting scripts. He pretty much owns Del Mastro, Pierre Poliviere and any other Con he's referring as soon as he stands up.

You guys are on crack. Angus is a fantastic debater. Probably the most clever, witty and articulate guy in the house right now.

Well, I'm glad that's over.

Yea, maybe we should worry about Republicans taking over our democracy instead a few pundits creating a website, lol

Just because more people voted doesn't mean that suppression doesn't exist. It could even be that a higher turnout shows that there may be more suppressed this time around than ever before. This was pointed out as a red herring in the recent G&M article making the same claim.

It's true - they're like forum trolls in real life.

There's already another thread on this you dirty American.
