Well, we know what the Supreme Court of Canada thinks, and it has ruled against the system as it stands today, a direct product of the Liberals' cutting transfer payments to the provinces and then ignoring the growing line ups for several years. Now Martin wants to fix the problem since he's running for re-election, and surprise surprise, Canadians have their doubts.

I heard a report in the news that 60 arab youths had responded in kind with baseball bats, destroying cars at random. Don't think this is near over.

Every celebrity gets hate mail but only right wing pundits seem to publish them to get sympathy from there adoring fans. I suspect this is because right wing pundits make a career out saying things that make people angry. They must consider it a badge of honour to get hate mail and would be disappointed if they did not get any. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sparhawk, take a look at your remarks. You are capable of more than childish stereotypical remarks that only smear. Nobody likes hate mail, and the kind that Michelle gets include remarks that are so gross I became quite upset just reading them. The level of hate is scary, and for you to make these remarks shows you haven't seem much of it.

Nothing like latent anti-american sentiment to get the blood pumping for some Canadians. The U.S. is a super power and an economic giant that tolerates our silly racism only in the hope that we will come to our senses. But we are not, and our PMPM continually taking pot shots at the U.S. administration is going to have really economic fallout. Think the Americans are not playing fair with the lumber dispute? You ain't seen nothing yet baby. We are a parasite to the U.S. Sending over 80% of our total exports to sell in their economy, but offering them little else. Things are in motion now. They will soon require all Canadians to have passports to visit their country, and this alone could cause huge delays for us Canadians who love to skip across the border to buy American goods and then trot safely home so we can stick our noses up at them. If they ever decide to shut us out of their markets since our gov. has been so two faced to them, our economy will drop like a stone.

Whatis with this silly nonsense about which former so and so criticized Clinton, this thread is about what Martin did in once again blasting the U.S., this time on an issue that they have greatly out-performed the Liberals in. Martin's a twit who in campaigning can only attack the other party's ideas, doesn't have anything new or creative, and has to resort to playing the anti-American card time and time again. He thinks that by re-announcing policies that he already did earlier we will forget we've already been fed this slop.

Many do not sign up for King and country anymore. Many in the U.S. sign up for the training opportunities and career advancement. You can get education paid for as well. Put you've served in the army on your resume and employers put you above other candidates. There are plenty among peace activistism who are suckers, but anyone who goes into something with their eyes wide open and willingly is not a sucker.

I trust Michelle Malkin than I do the liberal media--which has been caught time and time again lying--and especially those moonbat sites on Gadflyer's (your source) blogroll. Malkin is so dangerous to the liberal ideology that she receives hate mail like this. What the hell is the left's obsession with the word "whore" when it comes to attacking rightwing females? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They call her a lot worse, actually. Her and Anne Coulter are so dangerous! Ah Lefties, if only we could get them mad at the real enemies, there's no limit to the damage they could do.

What would be good for Canada is if Martin quit offending them every time he opens his mouth about them. It's hardly that complex really. This latest offense tops them all. Saying the Americans need to get it together regarding Kyoto when Canada's performance is actually worse than theirs. What a twit.

Yes, all the weight of corruption is starting to hava an effect. The Liberal faithful can talk all they want about how they will fix things, but average Canadians are starting to realize while being in power 12 years, we've had enough of their corrupt ideas.

This is actually pretty serious. Can you imagine the scream mode the Liberals will go into if info starts coming out about this investigation, specially if it is damning.

You know all you have to do with the Liberals is wait. They can't help but let their arrogant power corrupted attitudes get the better of them and step into all kinds of trouble.

Yes, monty, the left is unable to see how their dogma stifles free thought. I was on Babble, and although I didn't get canned, the hateful responses were surprising. To get canned after only one post on that Left wing Dem site you joined just shows the hate for anything but left thought. And they are well organized on the Web.

Hey normie, how's it going? Still campaigning hard for the Liberals I see. Good for you! One suggestion, though. In your comments, often contain inaccurate digs at the party leader you are campaigning against, in your case, Harper. The effort here is twofold: trying to convert the simpleminded by shear weight of repetition and getting the other side to respond, soas to give yourself reason to then further distribute your ideology. It's a delicate touch because you don't want to be strident enough to be accused of trolling, and yet it is trolling after a fashion. See what I mean? Try practicing it first to ensure you get it right. And then you should be able to post 30 - 40 times a day, way more than otherwise possible. Keep up the good work!

Hey normie, how are you doing? Still campaigning hard for the Liberals I see. Good for you! One suggestion, though. When making an argument, a good strategy is to keep repeating your points again and again on various different threads. It doesn't matter even if they are accurate, it will make them seem like 'gospel' to fellow supporters and rally the troops. Keep up the good work!

CPC has not been in power, their record has only been in opposing the Liberals. All liberal supporters (and err) don't trust them and are afraid of them Liberals have been in power for over a decade and have had scandals, resignations and lies - beginning with the GST removal. All Liberal supporters(and err) trust them. You are obviously unable to see corruption and scandal. So, go ahead, vote Liberal or whatever, but don't expect anyone to believe your tripe about Harper when Martin's record includes actually serving in government. A guy that uses private healthcare while preaching how to save public has removed his own credibility.

What's this? You drag up 2 guys that got voted or kicked out of their parties and then quote them as if what they said still stands? You must still have a ton of their quotes and didn't get to use them all while they were still around. If you would like to know what Harper's position on this is, go to the CPC website, it's all there in black and white. I know I know, you would rather mischaracterize them instead.

When you stoop to silly responses like this err, you reveal your hate, but it has no place here.

Look, once again, CALLING for the death of anyone is not the same as killing them. You can't refute that. A nutbar who kills a doctor is not the same as Osamas who mastermind the attacks that kill 100s or thousands. Said nutbar is also not the equivalent of a muslim who straps bombs on his back to get on a bus and take out everybody. Either cite examples or show your argument to be full of hate. There is ALL kinds of hate in the world, but if one kind is regularly killing people and terrorizing whole countries, then that kind is worse, whether your anti-Christian bias allows you to see it or not.

Actually the facts change everything. Point of view only obscures the facts.

Sure they can, but to hide their true identity is sleazy. It's like they are pros because they eat sleep and drink politics and they come to places like this and they can manipulate the ones who are not up on all the latest facts.

Look newbie and others. Why don't you just be honest with everybody and admit you hate Christians. Cause your comments are repeatedly refuted time and time again and still you keep on harping. Just admit it.

I know we got at least one of these on this board. He knows all the Liberal talking points and uses terminology like strategized voting.

My point, Kimmy, is you have to ask the question WHY are these people opposed to decriminalization, when the present system of laws doesn't work, when it facilitates access to kids, when it only hurts people who have not hurt anyone else, and when there is a huge, expensive underground economy profiting off of it. I'm not saying they are making money off the current system, but someone is and their actions certainly suggest they don't want to change that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay Bubber I can't resist. The present laws are working just fine, remember 95% possession charges get no jail time and lots just get fines. If you legalize pot, any kid will be able to still get his hands on it just like cigarettes and booze. The huge underground economy will still make out like bandits shipping it south. And this conspiracy theory that 'someone' doesn't want to change the status quo is baseless. Listen, you want to smoke pot, go ahead. No one's going to bust in on you in the privacy of your own home. Kimmy cited examples of cops merely asking people to smoke elsewhere, they didn't even arrest them! The cops aren't dumb, they are not going to waste their time arresting someone and dragging them into court only to have the judge shrug his shoulders 95% of the time. Be happy for what you do have, if you lived in the States, they'd lock you up for a long time.

I'm not sure why you picked $500 of disposable income, but even CTV news thinks the typical Canadian would immediately save 360/year which is close enough to the CPC estimate of $400. As to your eat the rich philosophy, aren't they the ones that pay the top tax bracket which is around 42%. Then there is all the luxury taxes they have to pay and an objective person can see that they are paying their share like everybody else.

All central nervous system depressants reduce brain activity and distort judgment. This includes alcohol, tranquilizers, both prescription and nonprescription sleeping pills, and a long list of other legal substances. None of these substances, whether used in moderation or used in excess, result in a lifetime criminal record and a 5% chance of jail time for possessing less than 30 grams. But Stephen Harper thinks it's rational to jail people for possession of less than 30 grams. Perhaps he's using some pharmaceutical substance to arrive at this irrational conclusion or even worse, his brain, in a nonmedicated state, actually perceives this position as rational. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Normie, hows it going? Still campaigning hard I see. Good zingers on Harper, but I recommend the occasional happy or confused face to further make your points. Keep up the good work!
