I didn't watch the video (couldn't be bothered) but I think Harper is a bit more of an up front kind of politician then some. I'm not a conservative fan for the most part, but you have to give kudos to Harper for keeping the minority government together this long, both his own camp (which seems to be harder for the parties then anything else) and the other camps. I personally hope the minority government stays the way it is till oct. 09, and if we had another minority just like this one, i would be extremely happy. Because I think that the parties are making parliament work very well at the moment, and I like the things that I am seeing.

Jesus, seven years of law school flush down the toilet? I think we do in fact have a gun problem, and maybe the registry is not being managed as well as some would like, but its still better then all these people running around without registered guns. See, if the gun is registered by the law abiding home owner and it gets stolen, and then used in a crime, at least there is a trail (perhaps evidence at the theft scene) which can be used to add one plus one and make two......finding the criminal. As for the bb guns in canadian tire and such, there is a psi level (basically the force involved in the firing) that designates if it is an "imitation' or not. so not all are illegal. plus there are a lot of loopholes already in the leg that need to be closed. guns have few legit purposes for the average person. people use them like they use hummers-small men needing big toys to compensate. very few people need a firearm.

I'm willing to travel the globe and help prevent inbreeding amongst the races.

I'd do it. lol

If I was single I would date girls from any (and all) countries, races, colours, etc. Who cares about your skin colour? Dating/mating is about the urge to reproduce, find a mate, and have fun. Colour means nothing.

I hope there is no election. I absolutely love the way the country is being governed. They are all having to play nice to a degree to keep from going into an election, so with all the blustering and fingerpointing, they are still having to make compromises which I think is good. I dont think there will be an election. I think the economy will stay relatively the same. I think nothing will change in the middle east. In the US, my hopes are for Obama to win the demo ticket, and hopefully the whitehouse, but i dont see the latter happening. The Mulroney affair will be laid to rest (let the thing die already), Dion will get squeezed out of the liberal leadership (will anyone even notice?), Harper will continue to rule his party with a gestapo fist, but if there is an election, will get a minority, cause he doesnt have the power to keep from showing his true far right self forever. And Laytons mustache will make the 2008 porno awards as cheasiest ornament on a politician.

Ban all guns except for law enforcement. That way there wont be any legal guns for thieves to steal. 99.999999999999999999% of people dont need a gun. The few that do, let them apply for special permits.

Big deal. So 80 guys got caught. They are almost all (in all sports) doping. Steriods, GH, blood volumizers, insulin, etc. And then all the legal stuff like creatine, glutamine, etc. You want to play with the big boys, you have to break the rules. Lets see. Stay clean, work in a factory for 40 k a year till retirement. Take the juice, play ball, make millions and party like a rock star. Not a hard choice for these guys. Look at the California Governor. Did good things for him. I think its all about risk analysis. Health/legal implications vs. financial rewards. Roll the dice see if you win. It's not cheating......cause they are all playing the same game.

This was a terrible decision. The court that convicted him was left with no other option under the legislation. But the parole board did have the power to free this man. Yes, killing is wrong, yes it is illegal. But he did it out of love for a child in terrible pain, that he watched in pain for 12 YEARS long. That man is no threat to anyone, and I believe the personal pain he had to bear watching his child all those years in pain and then finally having to end her life himself to spare her more pain is more then enough punishment then the "justice" system could ever dole out to him. Maybe sometime someone will use a little common sense and compassion.

See I don't believe those individuals should be in prison at all........Another option would be much more appropriate in those individuals cases.

I like a lot of what Chavez has done for his countries poor, but this last stunt was just plain stupid. I'm glad they voted against it, even if by a small margin.

I personally like strict muslims and jews. They work and pay their own way.

I stand by my comment. The north is a useless waste of time. Way bigger fish to fry at this point.

I trade every useless white welfare bum for an asian, african immigrant that works any day. Unfortunately thats not how things go. We have to keep our current bloodsuckers, and happily import more. Just keep working, you few who do...........your taxes need to pay for more welfare.

Why does anyone want all that uninhabitable ice anyways? And if its of any value, give the land to some eskimos tribes. Maybe they will know what to do with it since Harper (and 140 years worth of other PMs) doesnt seem to know what to do with it. lol

I would like to see EI segrated from other revenues. An arms length body to oversea would be nice. And the top end doubled from 40 k a year to 80 k a year. As well, there should be incentives for longer working careers without collecting. For instance if someone works 30 years without collecting and has paid all those years, perhaps they could collect 75% rather then 55%. And more attention to job rehabilitation, job training, etc. to get people back into the workforce. Maybe subsidize employers that take on apprentices (like a 50/50 cost sharing between the employer and the fund). Or eliminate the EI premiums for an employer that takes on the employee. And raise the capped rate for those collecting. And if there is still a surplus, cut the premiums 50/50, or perhaps employer first (since they pay 60 vs. the employee 40). Lots of options, but just paying and paying, by both the employer and employee, and neither seems to get anything back is a bit disheartening to be sure. Something has to be done.

Women shouldnt be with men....ever. And children shouldnt be with adults. And the population in prisons shouldnt be subjected to rape for their crimes committed. Its not part of their sentence. There should be more supervision.
