Socialist in Oil Country

One thing you fail to mention... These Quebec NDP MPs are NDP, not Bloc Going into the election, they weren't expected to be on the radar in Quebec, why would a sovereigntist be running for a federalist party that had no chance of winning (at the time)? Are all these MPs suddenly gonna go Levesque on all our asses? I don't see it happening. Their interest is to increase seats in the next election, not becoming a one province party.

This Bloc Quebecois lite? PLEAAAASSEE

I would be willing to bet that the majority of voters for either party would rather the parties stay separate.

No The posts Are disgusting

I thought the changes didn't matter unless you still had an antennae? Those days are about 20 years behind our household

This thread Disgusting That is all

Obviously it probably won't ever happen, I am aware of the methods that would have to be pursued to abolish it. It doesn't change the fact that the Senate is a waste of tax dollars and space. You wisely said federated country when stating there are no unicameral parliaments, but you choose to neglect the fact that some of the best functioning democracies in the world are unicameral. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, Iceland, South Korea to name a few Again, the Senate can take a hike

Here's an idea Don't spend a BILLION DOLLARS on the security (something other countries have no problem avoiding) and don't hold the summit in the downtown core of the largest city in the country. There are tons of nice places elsewhere in the country to host said event. Next year, for example, it's being held in Cannes, France. I wonder why they didn't pick the centre of a major world city like Paris or Marseilles? Because they are smart enough to know that it would be a total disaster. Why the hell put the summit in Toronto? That is almost what we spent on OLYMPIC security How much money was spent on the fake lake? What, we don't have a good enough lake in this country to serve these foreign heads? Tony Clement's riding also got a fun and fancy makeover for the G8 in Muskoka, especially considering none of the leaders saw any of it.

The healthcare itself is not the problem, it is the system Their SYSTEM of delivering care is one of the worst among developed nations, that much is indisputable. If you are a rich individual, it IS one of the best. Otherwise, I would much rather be in Canada (and also I would much rather be in most of Europe than Canada) in regards to healthcare http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html

The quality of posts here was utterly despicable. I don't see how Oleg has never been banned based on his many comments I have read over the last few days

I'm aware that the constitution guarantees the Senate their jobs Doesn't make it any less wrong The Senate can take a hike

This When the only developed country that has private health care on Earth is also one of the least healthy and worst healthcare systems among developed countries, I think it's safe to say to hell with that nonesense

If we gave them more funding their production and programming wouldn't be so brutal The only shows people watch on CBC any more (based on BBM ratings) are Hockey, news, Dragon's Den and Rick Mercer We should be funding it WAY more, I wish it were as prominent in this country as the BBC in the UK

You're OK with him spending a billion of your dollars on the G20 security and shutting down a whole city?

Well in both world wars conscription was implemented very late, and very few people were ever sent out to the battlefields Though there WERE deaths of men who were conscripted in both wars
