I'm sure if Harper knew he could get away with attacking abortion and gay marriage he would, the GOP does it in the US because that nation is split 50/50 with left and right, in Canada it is 65 left / 35 right so I guess you could consider Harper GOP material who is just under different circumstances

you can't spend your way out of debt...sooner or later they're gonna either have to get serious and spend nothing unless necessary and slash a lot of programs or we're going to go bankrupt

wrong, he's still being paid by the tax payers to sleep in Parliament...sounds like a good gig!

our first CON! So, what is your opinion (not on Trudeau) but on Kent? What is your take on him reading his talking points instead of answering a simple question that the Minister of Environment has to know (it's a no brainer, right?)

I bet you won't find any conservatives in this thread, they can't argue this one so they will stay far away after all, if a conservative could PWN a liberal by answering a question showing them they know what they are talking about they won't pass up the opportunity, they'd rub the liberals face in it Peter Kent would for sure, that man is really arrogant

more facts for you jack, basically what i said except on bbc Georgia violated a peace deal and bombed South Ossestia, how the f*** is Russia in the wrong for protecting its allies? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7550804.stm SOUTH OSSETIA TIMELINE 1991-92 S Ossetia fights war to break away from newly independent Georgia; Russia enforces truce 2004 Mikhail Saakashvili elected Georgian president, promising to recover lost territories 2006 S Ossetians vote for independence in unofficial referendum April 2008 Russia steps up ties with Abkhazia and South Ossetia July 2008 Russia admits flying jets over S Ossetia; Russia and Georgia accuse each other of military build-up 7 August 2008 After escalating Georgian-Ossetian clashes, sides agree to ceasefire; however Georgia launches a surprise attack 8 August 2008 Russia sends in columns of armour and troops and fighting erupts with Georgian forces in and around Tskhinvali 9 August 2008 Russian jets bomb central Georgian town of Gori, Russia says its troops have "liberated" Tskhinvali

They are just his yes men ...they honestly have no clue what they are doing, Clement (hahahahahha) put in charge of cutting programs when he spends 50 million on his own riding, Baird doesn't know jack shit about being foreign minister ..someone tell him if you're going to punish Syria with sanctions you don't give Canadian companies that are there a break, duh! Oh hell, none of the ministers know what they are frigging doing This kind of behaviour is good though, it means Canadians have 3 more years to wake up and this is the kind of junk that they will wake up to

Here's some more ammo army man http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8281990.stm The war in Georgia last year was started by a Georgian attack that was not justified by international law, an EU-sponsored report has concluded. However, the attack followed months of provocation, and both sides violated international law, the report said. Russia said the report delivered an "unequivocal answer" on the question of who started the conflict. But Georgia said the investigation proved that Russia had been preparing for war all along. The report said about 850 people were killed in the August 2008 war, and that more than 100,000 fled their homes, about 35,000 of whom are still displaced. read the rest by clicking on the link apparently a lot of people on MLW think Russia attacked Georgia first well heres your proof that is not the case and to think Bush thought about retaliating against Russia for this what a f***wit

in the early 90s georgia tried to stop a separatist movement in south osesstia .. the soviets helped the separatists by intervening (similar to what NATO is doing in the mid east georgia lost control of the break away regions it once held In 2004 Georgia elects a leader who vows to get the two regions back and as well is interested in joining NATO The Russians supported the South Ossestian independence referendum in 2006 where more than 90% supported full independence By 2009 almost 90 % of South Ossestians have Russian citizenship so to start this war..we have a Georgian leader who vowed to gain back its lost regions...justifying it by saying russia was attacking Georgia first Georgia shells south ossentians main city and kills russian peace keepers the leadership of the south ossestians call for russias help russia bombs the shit out of georgia and kicks their ass the georgia leader goes on CNN and whines that the Russians are in the wrong reports come out to say both countries were in the wrong but that russia had the right to defend its peace keepers

facts or spin? i have the facts but seems like all you have is western media spin

well since you refuse to answer a question I'm going to ignore you

nah let the dumbasses spend their way out of the government

It seems like Canadian right wingers are just as dumb as American politicians

[quote name=DogOnPorch' date='22 November 2011 - 03:04 PM' timestamp='1321992287' post='733 258] Did I say asbestos was safe? Nope. And you might want to check your brake-pads...might need changing. you said it wasnt a danger if sealed yet you can no longer use asbestos when making new homes, buildings or renovating buildings and homes in Canada so you can see the double standard hypocrisy right? if its safe enough to sell why isnt it safe enough to use? this is a direct question which i expect a direct answer

Why is asbestos banned in Canada if its safe?

Well, they do kind of smell like shit so I must have pulled them out of your ass. Learn how to wipe properly

all he said was he had charisma... which he did

Funniest political video you'll see all year Gotta give him credit.., he fought it!! gotta give him an E for effort

So we have an environment minister who couldn't answer what Ozone is...there is no way in hell you can defend him now con bots http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/ozone-gaffe-shows-tories-favour-spin-over-science-trudeau-says/article2244506/ Justin Trudeau figured he’d be made to look the fool but instead it was Environment Minister Peter Kent, who couldn’t answer the simple question as to what is ozone. And Mr. Trudeau, the Montreal Liberal MP, told The Globe Tuesday he’s “sure now that Minister Kent will deepen his knowledge of his extremely important file.” “It just worries me that this government consistently prioritizes politics and spin over science and facts,” Mr. Trudeau said. “Canadians deserve better.” Too tightly scripted and perhaps caught off guard, the Environment Minister stumbled in the Commons Monday when the Montreal Liberal asked him to “explain to the House what ozone is and what is the difference between its impact at low altitude and high altitude?” Mr. Kent, like every other minister during Question Period, did not waver from his talking points. Instead, of trying to answer the question he simply threw back an insult at Mr. Trudeau, criticizing the “quality” of the questions from the Liberal opposition. The minister added: “This government would gladly compare our record on the environment, in all its dimensions to...” At that point, a frustrated Mr. Trudeau interrupted: “You don’t know what ozone is.” The Speaker called for order and Mr. Kent continued: “...to complete my question, again the opposition is using a questionable media source quotation of one of my staff that has been taken out of context.” Mr. Kent was referring to a Postmedia story in which a document uncovered by an access to information request talked about cuts to ozone monitoring programs. In a scrum after Question Period, Mr. Trudeau said his query had begun partly as a joke. He and his colleague, Kristy Duncan, had wondered what would happen if he stood up and asked the minister to define ozone and “just give him the opportunity to make me look like a fool for asking a question that he would obviously know the answer to,” he said. Rather, Mr. Trudeau gave Mr. Kent the opportunity to play the fool. “I’m sure he’s right now going to Wikipedia,” Mr. Trudeau joked. The answer, Mr. Trudeau added, is “fairly simple”: ozone is an oxygen molecule with three parts. It is dangerous at low levels of the atmosphere because it contributes to smog and at high levels it is good because it reflects ultraviolet radiation. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May also weighed in. She told reporters she would be “stunned” if Mr. Kent didn’t know what ozone is. And she lamented that ministers are so scripted in Question Period. “If a question comes for which an answer has not been previously written, even when the answer no longer makes sense, they read their answers.” The issue is nevertheless important, she added, noting there is a “huge hole over the Arctic ozone for the first time” in history. “We need to find out why it’s there.”
