Especially if you look at the Western poll numbers. Care to comment Scar? He's probably writing a new post on how Harper and Bush are secretly getting married right now? Better not vote for Harper...that hypocrite!!! He's gonna sell us out to the USA The Liberals would still be campaigning like this if Jimmy Carter was still president...

Regamy shows remorse: Well, that changes everything. Release this poor "victim of society"!! 2) Regamy's partner also got 10 years for attempted murder 3) More harsh Canadian justice: Kill an 18 y/o girl by slashing her throat and get out on $5000 bail. And more harsh Canadian justice: State-run, taxpayer-funded ultra leftwing CBC spins youth crime The first paragraph reads: But if you scroll down to the last paragraph, you see this: However, in a December 2004 article on youth crime, the Toronto Sun reported the following: Crime statistics in Canada chart here Just like Saskatchewan's NDP when it comes to cooking the numbers when they claim that they have reduced welfare... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very good post indeed. That is just more encouraging to criminals... :angry:

Uh uh. Involving ourselves in missile defense means letting another country set our defense priorities for us. That's giving up soverignty. That's not an answer, nor is it logical. That's like saying, "I sleep with a garland of garlic around my neck to protect me from vampires. I have not been bitten by vampires, ergo, the garlic works." AG: that link should work now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The U.S. is going to set MD policy anyway. And it is a logical response. When you live next to the world's only remaining superpower, they will have some control over your foreign policy. How is my argument related to your garlic analogy? You know well that the CIA and CSIS work hand in hand.

And the NDP 3rd highest. It would be interesting to see how a Conservative government deals with the CBC. Even better, I wonder if they'd cut CBC funding even more than the Liberals did.

I don't see how 'both' parties have mishandled healthcare, the CPC is a new animal but if you consider it Tory, then under Mulroney it was doing much better than Martin who cut transfer payments to the provinces and started the whole mess. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ironically this is true. It is all about the 95 budget cuts...pick up any Canadian politics book. The "great saviours of Medicare"???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, yes. Clinton awarded no-bid contracts to Halliburton for work when he invaded Kosovo--without authorization from Congress, and much much more importantly--the UN (who has sovereignty over every country on the planet). Clinton is a neocon!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sometimes the truth is harder to swallow...

That's right...100% correct based on your assessments. Did you take university logic? Are you even in high school yet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BTW: could you post a link because I didn't see...

Pure class. I'm not even religious and I find this despicable. :angry: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the life in Toronto, eh? And the Globe was making such strides (I am a former subscriber). NOT anymore...

The CPC is not mired in scandal...

You make me consider voting Conservative...now I probably will...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not ruling out legalization period, I just think that we can't just legalize it tomorrow. We should decriminalize it in several steps first. That way, we, as a society, could gradually get used to its status. I am open to a healthy discussion on the matter, just that is my opinion.

It is highly unlikely that the supreme court would find the constitutional - this is the opinion of almost every constitutional expert who is not a card carrying member of the CPC.In any case, Harper is being duplicitous on this point. If he really believes that SSM should be defined as a seperate concept then he should just say that he would use the notwithstanding clause if necessary and suffer the consequences. If he is not willing to use the notwithstanding clause then he should admit that SSM is not really a big deal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There would be too much pressure on Harper if he is elected and he continues to campaign on SSM. He will have to do something to prove to his voters that he meant business when he campaigned on that issue.

Legalized marijuana would not be good. Can you imagine, we have enough societal problems with alcohol. How about a doctor showing up for an early morning appointment stoned? Would you feel safe driving? I admit I have tried drugs in my experimental days but I was responsible...not all of my friends were <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As for Dion, living in Quebec I will have to politely refrain from comment

If you are referring to Martin's speech in Laval, I was there and I can't say I met many people who weren't interested. A lot of people were pretty much relaxed about it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> My neighbour is a retired constitution lawyer so I would have to ask him (he rarely comes out though). I would have to do more research on it.

Marijuana can have very positive effects if used in moderation. I have not smoked in a long time but the few times I did I was very relaxed (and VERY hungry). I mean, we are not talking about shrooms or heroin here, but we still most definitely cannot legalize it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I for one am tired of the same sex issue and good for Harper to get it out of the way first and foremost. I do not want to pay for an election based on it as there are far more important issues confronting this country than SS and I hope that Harper delves into issues that need attention and have been left on the back burner for much too long. Enough is enough and let's move on with the issue of medicare, government accountability, change in how government works; elected senate if we must have one; education; and so forth. And I do not want an election spent discussing abortion either. If women want an abortion by all means have one but pay for it [i see that as an elective surgery - form of birth control] unless it is a life threatening situation then it should be part of our publicly paid system. Enough is enough!! I have had it up to my ying-yang the way this country is being run now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For me, marriage is a religious institution. I am a Catholic but not intensely religious...I have my beliefs and they are personal. But I did support C-38 because I do not believe the state should determine something on religious grounds. Civil unions? For sure. Marriage if OK with religious institution? For sure. Have I and will I attend gay marriages of my gay friends? Definitely. But overall, that is how I feel about the law. I also don't believe it should or can be turned back w/o using the nonwithstanding clause.

With each other. Sure. Have fun. You gotta learn sometime. They just don't gotta learn from their 40 year old neighbour. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For sure, I wasn't having sex when I was 14 but some of my classmates were. It is a personal issue and one I really don't think should be decided by the state...like gay marriage. There are certain things I believe a person's religion and value system will determine and because I believe church and state should be separate, this is what I believe.

FOR ME: 1) Not legalized BUT decriminalized. 2) That's religious and personal enough for me...I cannot comment. 3) Yes for the environment. 4) You know, the law could use some twinkling but they are going to have sex whether they're 14 or not because this is not a police state.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Finger pointing? Doesn't sound like anything I have ever heard happening in an election campaign???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> This just in: the NDP has a hidden agenda. They will turn Canada into a communist state and the Americans will come in and invade us. Jack Layton has a scary hidden agenda.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You have voted Liberal??? But no I don't think Campbell has that much influence over Canadian politics...I did like it when she ripped Mulrooney though...

Nice site Shoop...I like it...
