OTTAWA — The federal Liberals have suddenly dropped a bid to block a Montreal newspaper from publishing a list of party candidates lined up to run in Quebec. Liberals Drop Court Case

Yes, but you beat me to it

But if the Liberals vote against the government, the government won't be able to push their agenda through. So by the Liberals "doing their job", the government won't be able to do it's job. You might not mind paying that much, but many do. All the polls I have seen suggest that the majority of Canadians do not want another election right now. That makes sense because we'd likely end up with the same result we have right now, so why waste a few hundred million dollars to end up in the same situation we are in now?

Sounds great...except for the part about it costing $300 million or so... I don't think its their job to try and force an election by turning everything they possibly can into a confidence motion.

Sounds good...but should the Liberals force an early election, let's dock the $300 million cost from the pay of Conservative MPs.

Did you read my post?

And if they did vote against the government, we'd hear complaints about how the Liberals wasted $300 million dollars on an unnecessary election. Some people you just can't please...

Maybe not, but we can certainly minimize it. Not invading Iraq would have been a good start...

You mean like Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which all pledged more per capita than the U.S. after the 2004 earthquake/tsunami??

Does that mean that the oral history of the Natives in the Pacific North-west which says that we were created from a Raven is accurate? And if so, doesn't that conflict with Christianity?

The Greeks believed in many Gods, and these stories were told over and over again by many people. Some Natives think we were created by a Raven. Other religions have oral history as well. All have thousands of years of oral history, told by thousands of people, so they are equal in that respect. Yet they can't all be true, can they? Not to mention that at some point, the oral history behind religion was written down in the Bible. If I want to learn about Christianity, my primary source would be the bible, which is written. Even if the oral stories are true, and were passed down with integrity, how do we know that the person who wrote that information down in the bible did so accurately?

How do you know that the oral history is accurate, or that what is written in the bible accurately reflects the oral history? I'm sure a lot of other religions have oral history which is also written down in holy books. They can't all be true, can they?

I was referring more to holy books...but I suppose there is history in those books. I doubt there is anything in there about DNA or the genetic code. As for genealogy, that's easy to trace without the help of religion. I know I came from my parents, and my parents came from my grandparents etc... I haven't lived for thousands of years, so how could I have thousands of years of anecdotal evidence? Unless you are referring to what is written in holy books, in which case how can that be trusted? I don't know who wrote that books, what is there to say that it's true?

Maybe it's not very accurate, but isn't it much more accurate than something that was written in a book by an unknown person at an unknown time? Fair enough, but what does the bible or other holy books say about DNA?

Sounds very reasonable to me...

As long as there is consent, it blows my mind why anyone would not allow someone to die. I've always found it ironic that most of the opposition to euthanasia comes from people who claim to believe in small government...

And just for laughs: Link I think he must have confused "weeks" with "years", and "months" with "decades"...

Obama has strongly condemned those statements, so to try and criticize him for this is just weak. In fact, it goes to show how little dirt there is on Obama if this is the best that anyone can drag up...

Maybe Harper should hire an independent expert to decide whether the tapes were altered...kind of like what was done when the Grewal tapes were altered...

I don't see his name in my post either, do you?

A post, not a cabinet post.

Huh? If I remember correctly he was given the cabinet post after the next election. What's wrong with that??

Widow says dying MP was offered a 'bribe' "JD: Would you consider it a bribe, madam? DC: Um, yes, in a way." "He was quite mad about it, thinking they could bribe him with that" Maybe the Conservatives should sue their own candidate??

I don't think he was given a cabinet post. He did get a parliamentary secretary job. At least with Brison the decision to cross the floor was based on principles and not rewards.

God would have had to create Himself. Which is one reason why I don't believe in God. Or he didn't create the Universe, he created part of the Universe which includes everything except for Himself (in which case, what created God?).
