  1. The main problem with the Liberal daycare strategy is couples who feel so strongly that their children should be raised in their formative years by the actual parents get nothing. They already would be foregoing an entire income, but the Liberals feel only the parents who stay working and send their kids to daycare should get anything from them. Further, if the parents want to have their children looked after by another family member, they could only get cash for it if the family member opens a day care and it meets with the gov's requirements. Talk about big Brother wanting to institutionalize children away from their families.

    The conservative plan, as was stated, lets the parents choose. The Liberals do not.

  2. You morons. First: the article is a book review, and the lione is clearly a joke.

    Next:

    Check this out, I was watching the CTV news at supper tonight and the story of the Christians who were hostages came up and the CTV called them Christian Activists! They are there because of goodwill to help the Iraqis under an organization, I believe, called Peacemakers. This is the kind of bias that keeps showing up all over.

    Yeah, how dare they refer to members of a group called Christian Peacemaker Teams as Chirstians.... :rolleyes:

    Apparently you missed my point. Calling them Christians if they are is okay with me. Calling them activists when they are clearly not shows anti Christian bias.

  3. In Ontario, the Liberals have a sizable lead, and I'm curious as to the political climate there. The Liberal party has had many controversies over the years and the Gomery Inquiry has revealed one which may tip the scales for Quebec to seperate, and yet if the vote was held today, the Liberals would take Ontario again.

    Those of you in Ontario who support the Liberals, what is it about the Liberal party that you support it so faithfully? Or is it memories of Harris that cause you to shun the CPC? Is Harper seen as a scary politician? I am conservative, so I hope you can make allowances for my bias, but I am baffled.

  4. So some are getting preferentil treatment now. Argus. That is a good reason to enshrine the dysfunction, is it?

    What is your answer? We all know that healthcare has been mishandled for a long time now - by both parties. and the answer seems to be; so wha!. Let's allow others who can afford it to join the exclusive club.

    Sorry, but that is not my preference. There are answers and they havebeen provided by no less than three Commissions. Putting some of the recommendations of those into practise might help.

    Whi knows, brain transplants for the New Conservatives might be covered.

    What would I call Germany? Nothing at all in this context.

    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.

  5. Harper mulls income-splitting among tax cuts as campaign enters Week 2

    Actual solutions to problems we face,how refreshing.Keep going Stevie,your on the right track.

    ...where are the Liberal solutions?

    Income splitting sounds like a unique way to approach things for families. The CTV stated that the GST 1% reduction would save a person about $360 a year, which they pointed out difffered with the Conservative number of $400. Quibble over 40 bucks in a year, sounds like the CTV alright. I haven't heard them differ with the Liberals though. At any rate, I'd notice an extra $30+ bucks a month, it's an extra tank of gas for me. Plus whatever the benefits of income splitting. Bring it on, Harper.

  6. When pointing to conservative bias in Canadian media, liberals always point to the National Post, which recently had an editorial protesting the fact that a lesbian bookstore in Vancouver gets its new stock inspected to insure it doesn't contravene Canada's weak laws. How's that for Conservative bias. There might be one or two other newspapers that are centrist, but the fact of the matter is fewer and fewer people read them anymore, the action is in tv networks.

    And this is where the anti-Conservative bias is sooo obvious. The link you provided, Argus is what I've noticed all along for myself. For the Conservatives to win, they are going to have to beat the networks as well. Time will tell.
