go public with that tell em you think the Liberals are more right-wing then the tories pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!! if you, and everyone else did that, the NDP would kick some royal a@@ this election!!!

Islam is not a social experiment, it is the warship in the right god, and in that, it is a success.

if stronach or haprer wins, will people leave the party?

EEE will never work. EEE senate, and Quebec will walk away from our "dumbass confederaiton" to be blunt, BC-AB and PQ have about the same population, so I dont see the difference.

I'll go first how will the race go? well, I think in the begining, people will rally around Harper. I also think the Stronach will pick up some support. For the first month it will look like a head-to-head in the media between these 2, while Harper is always 'the front runner' Things will change in the last month or so. Stronach supporters will hear bad news from the Alliance. that some of their members will leave if Stronach wins. Harper's supporters will realize they do not have a majority, and hence, will not win on the first ballot, and therefore, not win at all. People will begin to rally around Clement, as a neutral party. Quebec will come in behind Clement, and when this happens, is when the whole situation will change. Harper and Stronach will split the party, but Clement will not. He will win on the second ballot, 55-45

yeay, I'm not weird other people think like I do

IIRC, every year in britain, 100 people are killed by guns in the US? 64,000 the US has 5 times the populaiton of the UK

But why ? And more importantly, how ? No government is going to give away a chance at real power. No government is going to reform the upper house so that it sends legislation back to the commons. And if we were to succeed in creating an effective senate, would we be happy with twice the red tape that we go through now to get laws through ? The US system is so clogged that the president is pushing for a line-item veto. Is this what we want in Canada ? governments will have to. The only way to reform the senate is to get public support. as for the checks and balances, I dont see it as "red tape". there shouldent be more government, just more democracy. My senate, basacally, puts the hand-appointed nominee from provincial party leaders and premiers into the senate.

abolition is a dumb idea IMHO as for how to elect senators, this caucus idea they have in Iowa seems rather interesting.

Why ? Has the senate done much more than rubber stamp house decisions for the sitting government ? exactly, thats what needs changing.

we need major changes to the government and the way we do things. the best way to do that is to reform the senate. as for house reform, I think that PR is the best option, meaning that the seats per provinces are not important.

if he were to lose, it'd have to be to a conservative, and tories just arent going to gain in the east.

after years of selling gas to the new england states, Nova Scotia is finally allowed to use its own natural gas. yeay for nafta

this is more then a "who will win poll" How do you think the race will go? How will Quebec vote? What affect would each leader have if they win? Can Harper win the east, etc?

if the NDP is a joke, the conservative party is an entire stand-up routine!

You mean the one that is the manifestation of the cancer of social liberalism? If so, then Svend Robinson is the Pancreatic cancer of social liberalism. Pel, what do you think of BEv Desjarlais,who refused to vote for gay marriage? or Yvon Godin, who is said to be pro-life? Blaikie is pro-life too so I hear. I think everyone should be free to have their own opinions, weather I agree with them or not.

this is totally acceptable, logical, and reasonable. is totally un-acceptable, and I will do my best to make sure it never happens in this country.

I voted for the one party that is not infested by the cancer of social conservatism.

we seek to eliminate those risks, not the benifits that come from them. imagine with free education how many more people would be willing to take the risks to become a doctor etc.

I dont see now that answers any of my questions. If you start a new thread I will gladly answer your quesitons, all of them.

what about the argument that the "need" for profit, is just "the satisfaction of individual urges and sellfish desires."

first of all, thank you for recogonizing that newfoundland is not part of the maritimes. most people either forget, or dont care enough to make proper posts. secondly, I am strongly supportive of maritime union. We already have a preimier (Bernard Lord) waiting to take his office.

I have a logical question I want to ask neo-conservatives. How can you beleive in the freedom of people to make money freely, but not beleive in the freedom of people to live as they chose (AKA gay marriage, aborition)

I dunno, you should ask them, I think both their e-mail addresses are online

Broadbent possibley Lewis Dave Barett I hear Shelia Copps Stephen Harper yeay
