And the Tories want to mimic him now? I don't know there is evidence to suggest it is helping the Tory cause, do you?

Still gutter, I'm afraid, despite your bloviating.

As I said, it is accurate that adult prison is where they would be headed Don't think so. I think it is any judge, any jury that they don't like. I do. I just don't think they should be going to adult prisons as part of their sentence.

I think the hypocrisy comes from the Tories who talk about the poisoned atmosphere of Ottawa when it is the Tories that throw gas on things by running negative ads in a neverending election campaign. I think the whining on the part of the extreme right wing is rich on that account.

If only it was my interpretation, you'd be fine. It appears that the reaction in Quebec is disgust. However, I know that the gutter reaction to that is likely anti-Quebec venom.

The Tories always play the tough on crime angle even when crime is going down nationally. They have no regards to the cost. Mo regards for whether there are alternatives. They want to criminalize behaviour on a wider scale and don't trust judges, juries or the police in many cases. They use anecdotal evidence to support their case and use fear as a means of driving the debate. And then they accuse their opposition of being in league with child molesters.

They didn't swell. The polls say they stayed the same. Yes, I have seen the fact check. As many observers said, both Duceppe and Harper were right and they were wrong. Duceppe was wrong that 14 year olds would be in general adult population. However, he was correct that they would be vulnerable if they were transferred at 18. Even Corrections Canada admits that. So, Harper was right that 14 years would not serve in adult prison but was wrong that when they were transferred, they would not be subject to what Duceppe says they would be. I know it doesn't matter to the right wing who believe they have it coming in adult prison. As Corrections Officials have pointed out, their preference is to house younger offenders elsewhere. The Tories want to increase sentences with no regards to the cost or whether better alternatives exist.

At least from the viewpoint of one columnist. We'll see if it send Ignatieff's numbers in Alberta lower than Dion's.

The U.S. said that the Iraqis had the weapons and were a threat immediately. That was the reason they went to war.

I believe the U.S. was the one that said they are not looking. All the specialized teams tasked with the job are no longer in place.

And why should it? Have the Tories talked to the provinces about the changes yet?

Perhaps you can point to some example to jog our memories.

It is the NQ supporters now that the Tories have been trying to make Conservative supporters. So I imagine it is the Tories who care.

And you don't think there was a backlash? You think that the Tories should go even more negative and it will result in a majority?

Compared to the Tories who have taken gutter politics in a new direction. Lower.

It neither helped or hindered the BQ's polls at the time. While the Tories were calling the BQ soft on crime, the BQ said the Tories wanted 14 year olds in adult prison. It was fundamentally true as well that the Tories wanted 14 year olds in adult prison. Your party wants to increase sentencing for everything with no plan for paying for it or giving evidence that it is the most suitable justice solution.

Give me a break. I was mocking your statement with the same over the top remarks are you were making.

The picture is gutter politics. No way of getting around that.

Option? I think what the BQ pointed out was that the Tories seemed headed to legislation that would raise 14 year old violent crime to adult court automatically. The Tories generally distrust judges or juries to these things on ther own. Actually, I support giving judges discretion on all sentencing within the law. Minimum and maximum punishments are already set through legislation and precedent. The Tories want to ensure the court has no discretion on sentencing and that large prison sentences are automatic.

Yes. In Gaza. Now the process can move on to the next area. I think you're the one who is looking foolish. The Palestinians and Israelis don't see it that way. And I keep showing the process was initially focused on geography as all sides agreed on. Part of that process is done. It moves to the next part now. The fact is that there is no example of your process of sanctions working historically. Now maybe you'll admit the failure of sanctions as well.

The Tories are free to call an election anytime.

Now you are just changing the subject. If the Tories really want Senate changes, they should talk to the provinces.

Please do continue then. It sounds like it will be a winning strategy.

The ones who held them up were the Tories. They wanted to debate other bills in the Senate first.

So then you admit that the Tory ad is accusing the BQ of being soft on pedophiles. And you expect this to be a big winner?
