Anyone notice how Tony Clement loves to overuse..
Pellaken replied to Seveneighty's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
look... .. well the fact of the matter is... -
I asked what Keynesism was, and I was laughed out of the room by the posters, and IIRC, the admin.

funny, when I asked a quesiton on this forum months ago, all the f***ing a@@holes here yelled at me, and I was told the topic, becuase it was a question, does not belong in a debate forum. perhaps its clear and blaitent bias because I support the NDP?

its based on differences. you see someone form china, they have "funny eyes" you hear an anfrican-canadian singing rap, he's "stupid" etc... I once had someone lecture my for 10 minutes on how "I'm not a racist, I'm right" he show'd me a picture of a few african-americans and said "look at how their jaw sticks out, and their head is big in the back... now look at this picture of an ape" that's when I threw him out of my room. He did have a point though, "White men" and "Black men" look different. it's more then skin, it your shape. I know some people from the mid-east, and yes, compared to a normal "white man" they have big noses. people look at someone, see their big nose, see their slanted eyes, and say "he's different, he must be stupid" or something like that. Racisim starts when you notice the differences, because by noticing them, you are accepting that there are differences. I grew up in Toronto, and it literally takes me about a week to clue in that this or that guy is black. I just dont notice it, it's not important to me. I'm sorry to say that I do notice the gender gap, but I'm trying to fix that. am I making any sence here?

Are Conservatives Committing Hari Kari?
Pellaken replied to maplesyrup's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
from what I near, old PCers, Stronach supporters, and Clement supporters were not allowed to vote because they never got their ballots. Bring this up to the party, and they respond with a nice "F*** YOU" in not so many words -
Canadian Laws Need To Change!
Pellaken replied to falling leaf's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
in this case, I'd support the death penalty people like this should be shot. -
Some people have argued that EEE will not sell in Ontario, I think this poll proves them wrong. The east will go along with this, Quebec? we dont know. Do you guys think we should ram this through without Quebec's consent? I wouldnt mind

there will be a populist uprising in 2007/2008. It will come here, in canada, first, then spread around the world. the people need a leader. I'm affraid to say if no one else step's up to the plate, I'll take on the role myself.

for the record Lucien Bouchard was a tory cabinet minister Jean Lapierre was a Liberal MP Gilles Duceppe was elected as an independent who was pro-seperation the 3 came togethor and created the Bloc Quebecois. 5 other MP's (all from the tories) joined the Bloc. One more was elected in a by-election. Of the original 9, only Duceppe remains.

Pellaken replied to maplesyrup's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
here's something to think about in provinces like Quebec even, there may still be ridings with 100 people, and ridings with 5. Whoever wins the ridings with 5 will be much stronger. Clement, for example, could 'win' ontario, with 25% of the vote from there. -

Does Belinda even know what a by-election is? smiley, Harper lost 11 by-elections, mrs.stronach has NEVER lost an election. -
we need proporitonal representation and we need to kick the queen out on her a@@
-
The bloc could form a government. it's how skrewy our system is. if they elected all 75 seats in quebec... the Liberals, Tories, and NDP tied at 74 seats each, and some other party gets 11 seats, then pouf, you have a Bloc government. go figure

I dislike the monarchy we should be a republic. Each province and the federal government should elect its governors (drop the lieutennant and general crap) on a piggy-back election with the general election. Party lines should be banned. I would also support term limits in this case. While I am strongly opposed to term limits on positions of power (if we adopt them, I'll move, no one can tell me who I cant vote for) I think that for powerless positions it does not matter. this would help to prevent patronage.

For The Record: Manning Did Not Endorse Stronach..
Pellaken replied to sir_springer's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
yea, and jimmy carter did not endorse dean either way, an endorsement is only as good as the coverage it gets, and this one, just aint getting it. -
nope the PC Party split into 4 peices -Quebec Nationalists (had been added to the party in 1984 by Mulroney) -Western Populists (had been added to the party in 1958 by Diefenbaker) -"Ontario" Businessmen (had been added to the party way back with people like Meighen and Borden -"Traditional" Conservatives (always been in the party) The Traditional Conservatives are made up, mostly, of the people who vote PC for the sake of voting PC. Popular in eastern canada. They "became" the PC Party post CA. Quebec Nationalists became the Bloc. Western populists became the Reform Party and the Ontario businessmen voted Liberal imagine that, 3 entire parties, and a key part of a 4th all came from the same coalition. If someone could re-build it, it may work. The problem is getting Westerners and Quebecois to agree on anything.

Clement better not win, he's a PCer *gasp* who can they elect as leader!! .... ME!

the GG is a total waste of money. she represents the monarchy. what is the monarchy? well, the queen is some german woman who has power because she's rich, and was releated to tyranical dictators of the past who ruthlessly killed their own civilians. I'm an Italian-Acadian, My father was an immigrant, making me, I guess, an Immigrant-Acadian, or when translated into monarchytalk, a f***you-f***you, which pretty well sums up my thoughts on the monarchy
-
I dunno, seems to me the legislature tried to do what they did to clinton
-
the GG does absouletly nothing of any use.
-
perhaps they did it on purpose, to make a point?
