  1. It is a very unlikely prospect. I am kind of interested in Martha Hall Findlay. I'm still open to Kennedy and Ignatieff. I'm watching Dion. Given the feeling of Canadians on Afghanistan, it might be hard for Harper to win a majority, especially in Quebec.
  2. I have no idea.
  3. Would you be okay with a foreign country looking at your back records?
  4. I'm surprised this story is not getting bigger coverage.
  5. What are the overall numbers for cancer research?
  6. And yet the feds are backing the appeal of the judge's decision.
  7. I think that is what the fear is on Rae. No one knows what sort of things he would do with spending. Bevilacqua has had a good relationship with Rae over the years. Other than that, I don't know the reasons why he would throw support behind him.
  8. Probably not. But it could be a combination of his social conservative stands on issues that will have an impact in places where he needs to win seats.
  9. I finally saw the movie this weekend. It was quite good for a limited budget film. Coincidently, the Globe and Mail ran the story on my former professor Dr. Tim Ball and his campaign against the idea that the world is warming. His thoughts are that the world is cooling. He hasn't had a peer reviewed paper in 14 years but he is being funded by the oil and gas industry and prominent conservative types at the University of Calgary to dismiss the science of global warming. I can't link directly to the article because it is protected content on the Globe and Mail site but here were some of the letters written to the Globe in response. http://www.desmogblog.com/friends-of-science oh, one last edit. I think I read that the movie has grossed $22 million as of this weekend. Not bad for a Powerpoint movie.
  10. I see him running for an MP after this. I don't see him spending times in the backrooms.
  11. He probably won't win. But it is a way for the Liberals to counter the attack from left.
  12. If that is true, why are the feds supporting McGuinty?
  13. Harper going north was planned as way of bypassing the "gone fishin'" criticism. And as a separate issue, he is making a lot of claims on climate that even some of his own departments don't agree with. And if those claims are true, you wonder why he is in oppositon to Kyoto. Clinton took the heckling this morning and turned it around and earned the crowd's respect. A leader can do that. And this still brings up the question of why the Conservatives would think that Chretien should have gone to Vancouver and not think that Harper should have gone to Toronto?
  14. Do you know what the proportions are for diseases such as cancer and heart disease are? Paul Martin accepted as prime minister of Canada to attend this conference. Once, he was defeated, an invitation was extended to Stephen Harper on the day he was sworn in. I don't believe he had his agenda booked for this day at the time. And when Jean Chretien didn't attend in Vancouver, the Conservatives hammered him on it. Are you saying they were just being petty or did they have a point?
  15. Does that mean all our bank records should be examined by the U.S. government? http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/14082006/2/nati...nk-records.html
  16. What other areas are you extremely liberal on?
  17. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/14082006/6/n-ca...s-slightly.html Bevilacqua has dropped out and supports Rae. It is revealed that Rae is the best fundraiser in the party as well.
  18. You used to be a Marxist?
  19. HIV is one of a number of auto-immune diseases. When research is done on HIV, it also has applicable material for other viruses, cancer, etc. Scientists say that any money spent on research on the immune system benefits us all.
  20. No, but I'd tell his kids to be careful even if they are not promiscuous. They can still have a relationship with someone who has had a previous relationship and caught the virus. Unless the argument is everyone are virgins until marriage... Is that how it is for everyone that you know in your life?
  21. Many people don't even know they have HIV because they can't afford to be tested. How do you isolate them? And how do you isolate someone who shows no symptoms?
  22. No, it was the debate the renewed mission. At first the Conservatives said no and then they decided to let the debate happen. The Liberals are divided on the mission and voted as such. A free vote is something the Conservatives consider a good thing, right?
  23. As some people have mentioned here though much of the disease can be defeated by behavioral changes. In many places, fear and ignorance are spreading the disease. It takes leadership to help combat this.
