There are no real politicians anywhere in North America right now

Sorry but you can't justify this to me, Canadian tax payers are paying the finance minister and the people he hired to do his job for him you might be okay with that but most people are not

I wasn't being serious

no, which is why I can't take girls down there

is a proof is a proof

Russia has a naval base in Syria, plus I wanna see the world come close to a nuclear war, I wasn't around for the Cuban Missile Crisis

are you saying the federal government will still regulate and pay to make sure the CWB is operational? because that is not what i read anywhere

why even elect them then if they are going to hire people with tax payer money to do the job they were given? so tax payers are paying them (for doing nothing) and then the people who are doing the ministers job

Russia has stepped up efforts to defend Syria in recent days, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov keen to frame the violence in the country as a civil war in defiance of claims by western powers that President Bashar al-Assad has overseen a bloody crackdown on innocent protesters. As we saw prior to the attack on Libya, which was also framed as a “humanitarian intervention,” NATO powers are keen to demonize Assad’s government by characterizing attacks by his forces as atrocities while largely ignoring similar attacks by opposition forces, such as this week’s raid on a Syrian air force intelligence complex that killed or wounded 20 security police. U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner rejects Russia’s claim that Syria is in a civil war, stating, “We believe it’s very much the Assad regime carrying out a campaign of violence, intimidation, and repression against innocent protesters.” Of course, we heard similar rhetoric even as NATO-backed Al-Qaeda rebels were commandeering fighter jets and firing rocket-propelled grenades in Libya, actions also undertaken by “innocent protesters,” we were told at the time. As we have previously reported, despite overwhelming speculation that Iran will be the next target of a military assault, Syria is the likeliest target for the next salvo of NATO-backed regime change. US President Barack Obama got the ball rolling back in August when he called on President al-Assad to step down. The UN has already withdrawn all non-essential staff from the country. Without Russia’s help, Syria would be largely defenseless against a NATO attack. “I don’t see any purely military problems. Syria has no defence against Western systems … [but] it would be more risky than Libya. It would be a heavy military operation,” former French air force chief Jean Rannou commented. Given that the western press has proven adept at manufacturing lies to justify military interventions, whether the actions of Assad’s regime represent genuine atrocities or legitimate conduct in the midst of a civil war remains unclear. Some have claimed the abuses are being embellished, while both former CIA agent Robert Baer and ex-MI6 officer Alastair Crooke point out that the Syrian people definitely want change, but not in the form of a NATO “humanitarian” assault.

if you don't know don't make it sound like you do, all of the articles I have read said harpers cons have the biggest defecit in Canadian history

You need a better example than OJ LOL and what should happen if the Cons manage to not cut down the defecit by 2015 like they promised? will you vote for them? probably

our household debt is one of the highest in the industrial world

from a 2009 article http://www.thestar.com/iphone/news/canada/article/742220--flaherty-s-deficit-plan-take-an-axe-and-cut-deep OTTAWA–Faced with the largest federal deficit in history, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says he will start looking for programs to axe and government assets to sell off as soon as the economy recovers.

when was the biggest?

we're in the biggest defecit of our history.. now is not the time to spend spend spend the libs in the 90s even cut down their spending by a lot why cant the "fiscal conservatives"?

the cons would have to show they are serious in getting rid of the defecit by cancelling the jets, prisons and cancelling the crime bill... if they do that then yes

The Canadian public knew about it... its not like they did it secretly and it was necessary and the public went along with it but good try

yeah wrong guy

........... really? when the liberals were the government they never hired consultants to do their work and they gave Canada a surplus which aide Canada to survive the recession fairly well even with a clueless reformist government

neither do the conservatives

lol, didnt you read they are paying 20+ millions a year and yet they said they aren't gonna be able to be able to balance the budget sounds like a big f****** fail to me

yes but that was then and this is now, you can't dance around it! the cons have a bigger government than the socialist Trudeaus ouch LOal
