At the end of the day, people just don't care, like our newest GG, who supported Quebec's separation. As far as Dion goes, I don't know if he's got divided loyalties, but he sure can't lead. The Liberals need 6 or 8 years of him.

Only because the pollster was selective in his choices,which makes for a bad poll. If ALL the PM's were on the list it might have played different. Too bad you didn't get the results you were hoping for.....maybe the next slanted poll you post will work like you wanted. Interesting angle, I hadn't thought of that. I was distressed at all the Liberals on the list, realizing it's because Canada has voted so many in.

This is actual slander against a university and the professor and students who did this study. Concordia University has as an excellent reputation, especially for conducting sociological studies. What the study entailed was taking the findings of 240 other studies --no small amount-- and compiling the results for overall picture. You misrepresent the truth and accuracy in your zeal to discredit, because apparently you do not like the results. doesn't quite mesh with the Dominionist view of the world eh?!. So sue me. They did no research of their own, merely looking at other studies, try 100, not 240! And costing $25,000, that would pay 6 people one month's salary to read through some papers and come up with a result the Liberals wanted. Yes, us dominionists will take over the worldhahahahahhahahahaha! Give me a break.

Some of the comments are funny on the link, but other than that it seems to be a waste of time.

18 bottles of beer on the wall, 18 bottles of beer, if one of those bottles just happens to ball, 17 bottles of beer on the wall; [/color] nicely done MB, good timing!

Oh, and are you sitting down? I have bad news concerning the Easter Bunny.

That sounds about right for a self admitted troskyist and a socialist. Personally, I try to read more balanced material.

What the hell is it with Vancouver? No Tim Hortons? That's completely ridiculous!

Social competence is a pretty wide net that captures pretty much every quality that matters, as far as I can see. What other areas were you thinking of? That's what I'm concerned about. This 'study' is only 74 pages, and yet uses wide sweeping terms to encompass it's findings. Yet it's only 74 pages, and they didn't do any of their own research. Another report I read said this study cost $25,000. That is simply not enough money to do anything more than a white wash. Obviously they didn't read any of the many studies out there that show a direct relation between the father being in the home and an absence of crime, improved academic performance, and reduced pregnancy rates.

Well, I'm glad that whole dilemma has now been solved. Somebody should phone Harper, oh wait, just what exactly is this 'social competence'? Is that the only measuring stick they used to come to their conclusion? Aren't there at least a few areas that should be compared before you come to conclusions on children? And what about this lack of any findings whatsoever on kids with gay dad(s)? It doesn't quite sound like a ringing endorsement after all. It seems they didn't do any of their own research at all, but merely looked at some studies. But the Rosie O family photo sure looks nice.

Wait Drea, here's the best part: "God is a delusion, if his enemies are to be believed: nothing more than the creation of a species with prefrontal lobes too small, and aggressive instincts too strong, for its own good. His worship is poison: his adherents commit child abuse -- metaphoric and actual -- on a daily basis" Lovely people, these God is poison haters, I wonder what else they think. These are nothing more than bigots, and you are one for your constant smears on religions.

Just waitin' for the chorus of these are extremists, moderates wouldn't teach their kids to hate Israel. Only it's beamed to the entire Arab world.

And yet the Tories will have to respond in the allotted time. Kind of funny how that works. Harper is probably hoping people forget that he has a make-up artist that remains an expense not accounted for. Hey listen, I have some more bad news for you concerning the tooth fairy. Are you sitting down?

I agree with the benefits of harmonizing immigration, but I too see the numbers of undesirable immigrants (ones in Canada with criminal records who if their appeal process looks discouraging merely flee into hiding) as a problem that precludes any agreements with the U.S. We let in people who claim they have no passport who are only hiding their identity. We have a very lenient appeal process that can drag on for up to a decade. We hesitate to hand over criminals to the U.S. for fear they might be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. All of these reasons make it unliikely the U.S. would be interested.

Strike two eh? That would be funny if it wasn't so arrogant.

Ah yes, the quote from the executive of the Sierra Club was particularly rich. Good luck getting any attention on that one.

Good point, funny how waiting times for serious operations don't seem to rate up there with gettting a damn passport! But some people's reasoning skills go askew when they think about conservative leaders. Ah well, at least they're good for a chuckle.

Yeah, get back to me when Chretien explains all of his decisions, or Martin his.

I've never seen someone counting down the days for anything like this since Christmas? Listen sonny, there's no Santy Claus!

I wonder what the next decade holds for Europe. You can only bend over so far before you fall over. They are in the grip of the UN and the Muslim minority.

Well B, I think you've struck a nerve! When people start referencing Eugenics, something is afoot. BTW, eugenics was not a left or right thing. Einstein believed in it. Yikes! You can find all manner of wackos on the net, the problem is some can't tell which ones to take seriously.

Thank you, but I was not referring to the SC, but all the courts that a president makes appointments on.

You have only known one Gay person?!?! Yeah, just the one guy. Wait, are you gay?

Yes, guess I should have put in quotes. Yes, the link she provided supports my theory that all this malarky about the rapture is part of the blogosphere's demonziation of Bush. Not that he's any angel, but you get my drift. Some people just can not handle christianity and must attack it whenever they see it. Even the MSM has its limits.

Uh, your link is 3 years old, and I think it's common knowledge that Bush was trying to put some conservatives on the bench to counter the last 8 years of Clinton.
