The article is from 2008. I'm sure Harper has changed since then.

This is pretty disturbing. I predict Harper-Magnotta comparisons by the end of the week.

I wonder why Conservatives are so defiantly defending communism..

Umm.. If it was just Quebec, I highly doubt Harper would be trying this hard to keep it. There are votes at stake with this move.

What's interesting is that the CPC adamantly defended this protectionism on Power and Politics just last night. The entire party supports protectionism. Do you really think they'll listen to a defected Liberal?

Looks like Harper's going to need to drop the protectionism if they want any real clout in the Trans-pacific partnership. John Ivison: Kiss goodbye to supply management

I was just going to mention the Coyne article. He's a fairly conservative-minded pundit, so it should go without saying that his opinion wouldn't be skewed to the left on this matter. He makes the obvious assertion that many have already acknowledged - the Cons have become blatant hypocrites on the matter of fiscal transparency.

The house was really pushing for that apology yesterday. Fortunately, Kenney eventually gave in, but I would not be surprised if the federal relationship with it's Alberta cousins has been marred moving forward. This is dangerous, divisive politics and Alberta should think twice about who truly has their interests at heart.

In all honesty, he really is a piece of shit. This whole issue is a job for utilitarianism anyway..

Bullshit. -- Rae Seriously though, it depends on the context of the comment and how offensive it really is.

Was watching Power and Politics last night and the Conservatives admitted that they are withholding information, but they simply think that it is within their right to do so because that information is not pertinent to the budget. Obviously the parliamentary budget officer disagrees.

I personally have no problem with your enlightening posts, but I thought it was the forum m.o. to throwdown evocative threads.

So.. about enforcing that banstick.

McGuinty's budget is more focused on being a budget.

Kelly McParland?

u so crazy, Fletch

I'm not surprised he would say that considering it's coming from the guy that doesn't understand the difference between parliament and government.

Conservative Libertarians getting in a tiff about the word "bull shit" ? Funny how that works.

Zing!

Clearly they are getting moneyhats from the evil, Quebec loving NDP.

This is precisely why he's not truly a Libertarian. It's really just his own agenda dressed with sensationalism.

It still amazes me that people see Ezra as some shining beacon for libertarianism.

Actually, he could be looking at 5 years in jail.
