The Honest Politician

This so-called "something that happened" happens every time there is going to be an announcement where the outcome of that announcement is fairly obvious. Look we're in the middle of an election. Is the minister going to make an unpopular policy change? NO. Therefore, as soon as he said an announcement was coming it was a fairly safe bet as to what he would be saying. But that bit of logic gets lost somewhere with the whole, innocent until proven guilty thing, that has has been thrown out the window by both the NDP and Conservatives.

Yes you do, otherwise it is slander. But slander never bothers a conservative does it ?

You are missing the bigger picture. First you tell these people they can't marry because they have different sexual orientaion than the majority. Then where do you stop? What happens when another minority is doing something else you don't agree with? Do you remove their rights as well? Where does it end? Forced sterilization of those with hereditary diseases, or mental illness? The first time you remove a minority's rights, you have made it an acceptable option for every circumstance that follows. Harper cannot be allowed to govern this country.

Do you have any proof of insider trading? Do you know things the RCMP hasn't made public? Or is this just more slanderous Conservative/NDP BS?

Monte Solberg, says lots of things. There are a couple of things I would like to see in the Conservatives budget: All the associated costs with creating the privatized home-based daycare The cost of increased prison spaces and workers to house the enevitable build up of mandatory sentences The actual projected GST savings for someone who has $25,000 after tax income compared to $200,000 after tax income. I want to see housing/food costs, savings, everything. This "tax cut for the poor" is a crock.

You think it is bad now. Just wait until you have to carry extra house insurance to cover the cost of a child being injured or possibly killed in a private home-based daycare. You will have to raise your prices and possibly lose some customers because they can't afford it. Trust me, after the first multi-million dollar settlement an insurance company has to pay, they will drop daycare children from being covered under regular house insurance. It is simply too risky for them not to charge more, especially with the number of daycares, and by extention the number of potential injuries or deaths, increasing by thousands and tens of thousands. I highly doubt the Govt takes $100-$200 per month of your taxes directly for childcare. Whereas $25 - $50 per month per child for multi-million dollar liability, actually sounds pretty cheap for insurance.

How the $%^# the Bloc can be considered a Federal Party and get Federal Tax dollars to promote destroying the country is a disgrace. Without representation in all Provinces and territories they should not be recognised. The FACT Harper has said he would give Quebec and by extention the Bloc Quebecois, even more special treatment and opportunities like a voice in foreign affairs makes me sick. We have Elected offiacials who are supposed to make decisions based on what is best for the country. Ministers are appointed to oversee the application of those decisions. Sometimes the decisions are the same as what is best for Quebec sometimes They are not. No Province is satisfied 100% of the time. But giving the Bloc Quebecois the power to sabotage, in anyway, the counrty's foreign policy is a mistake.

Uh-oh. Looks like Elsie can take a break. The conservatives are doing their own anti-SSM movement with the church. "God Bless Canada" just got perverted into an anti-SSM war cry. Harper is using his "God Bless Canada" speech closing to create ties with religious people. I have no problem with that. But at the same time he is using Church Leadership to further his own political agenda. That I have a problem with.

Link Just an update.

Link So the troops we "sent" were already on an exchange program with the USA and the UK? I would hardly call that sending troops. Or do you have evidence of other troop deployments?

The only "centrifuge" (sp) for enriching uranium they "found" was was brought in by an Iraqi Scientist who had dug it up from under his rose bushes where it had been buried for over 10 years. So much for a nuclear weapons program. The only WMD's found in Iraq are the ones the Americans brought with them. The evidence presented to the UN was blatently false. Did you ever hear about the Russian pictures of the Kuwait/Saudi Arabia border before the first Gulf War? Apparently the 250,000 Iraqi troops and 1500 Iraqi tanks weren't in the Russian photos of the same area. So this war is the Second time they lied, to serve their own international interests.

The Idea a cut to the GST will help the POOR is the biggest lie Harper is telling the Canadian public, right after his "Look, Now I'm A Liberal" charade he has put on for everyone.

Harper speech Harper in his own words Fascism is a system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship: The PCPC and Reform couldn't work together and were merged into what appears to be a dictatorship where candidates are not allowed to talk about certain issues. forcible suppression of opposition, Belinda had enough balls to get up and walk. If MacKay had any he would have left to, instead he stands there like beaten animal, trying to figure out how he got screwed out of having his own party, and not even getting a voice in the new one. private economic enterprise under centralized governmental control, Privatization is a hallmark of conservative beliefs. belligerent nationalism, Belligerent would be a point of view. "God Bless Canada" IMO isn't. racism when dealing with a large group of individuals, there are bound to be one or two bad apples in every party, and every political spectrum. and militarism, etc.,Well Harper sure does want to increase the military.

Harper is centre-right. HAhahahahahahahaha. If he is centre right why did he co-found a little ultra-right-wing party called The Reform Party? Why was he a speaker at a far right conservative conference for what even americans feel is an Extreme right wing group of individuals?

Go look at the definition of Fascism.

Go read Harpers old speeches. You just gave a pretty accurate description.

Please post a link to ANYWHERE that has the SEC themselves saying they are reviewing the Income Trust Leak. From what I understand all the SEC has sent out was basically a form letter type response to the NDP allegations. HP, you can interpret this as you will: CBC I already posted and exposed that form letter for what it is. A form letter, that promises nothing and confirms nothing other than receipt of the complaint.

Nonsense, the CPC wants less government and more freedoms, hardly fascist. That is a good joke! Totally wrong but a good joke none the less. The liberal ideals are closer to communism and the conservative ideals are closer to fascism. It is not a debate, it just simply is.

The Conservative Ideology has more in common with Fascism than the Liberals does.

This is from an article Scriblett posted then removed. She must have read it. Violence against liberals? Is that the New Conservative plan? Bullying people who don't share the same point of view? Whirly? Illegal Martial arts moves? Imprisonment? Somebody better tell Harper the gag order on stupidity is slipping. CPC Candidate

Sure move your thread after I quote from it. lol

If Martin was so close to Chretien, why are Chretien supporters trying ruin the Martin Campaign. Martin and Chretien had parted ways long before Chretien retired. Try to remember the sponsorship program was Chretien's baby, and the Gomery commmission determined that Martin had no involvment.

No, all I did was wait for results after the Gomery report. The few sacrificial lambs were slaughtered. But those who actually used the taxpayers' money to buy support are still hidden and protected. The same Gomery report that exhonerated Prime Minister Martin? The same Gomery report that praised Ralph Goodale?

Let's review. Goodale said he was going to make an announcement. The economic and especially the political indicators (being in an election) suggested a positive announcement. People whose job it is to pay attention to these indicators, did their jobs. Stock was bought on the assumption of a positive announcement. When the announcement was as expected most of the Income Trusts, but not all, gained value. A NDP candidate whose party, of course, had nothing to gain by smearing the liberals, pointed out the increased purchases of stock and cried foul. The RCMP themselves say there is no evidence of wrong doing. The NDP candidate, obviously not intentionally meaning to smear the liberals trot out a form letter, as proof that the SEC is investigating the supposed leak. Proof = 0% Allegations and conjecture = 100%

You must have never read Harpers true feelings for this country.
