  1. Ah, good ole Keswick. The butt of many a redneck joke in the GTA. Didn't see anyone bring up the mention of the racially motivated attacks that have happened against Asians in Georgina, of which Keswick is the largest community. There are some who don't like the sight of Asians fishing the shores of Lake Simcoe, whether it is in or out of season. So they came up with a new game. "Nipper Tipping" as it is known consists of accosting, assaulting and throwing the Asian fisherman in the water. This has been going on with more frequency over the last few years.
  2. Maybe the old dude didn't look like he could afford to be revived?
  3. Yep, came here about 14,000 years ago. The very term "Native American" is a misnomer. Humans did not spring from the earth in North America. They migrated from elsewhere.
  4. "liberal MSM" Another falshood perpetrated by the political right.
  5. I hear ya. IF someone is scum they are scum no matter what they like.
  6. I literally laughed until I choked. (dirty mind, I know) I assume you mean LOOPholes for tax purposes. HEy man, the straight rich have been scamming and hiding a lot more money from us tax payers than a few homosexuals ever will. Have you not been watching the news for the last 5 years or so?
  7. You poor uninformed ignoramace. Go and drink your scotch on the rocks and beat your kids. Why not, alcohol is legal right?
  8. That is disgusting!!! Not that they are smoking dope but that you are so anal to actually want to bust a bunch of kids for smoking some weed. Live and let live! Get a life buddy!
  9. LMFAO Hahahahahahahahaha What a garbage statement. SSM is finally getting accepted because people are realizing the Homophobic mantra of the religious right is wrong. Having two dads or two moms will not bring down the so-called institutiuon of marriage. This institution which has roughly a 50% success rate. If Jim is happy to kiss Fred I could care less.
  10. Listened to a great debate about this the other day, and according to Canadian law he hould not be allowed into the country because he did raise money that went to Hamas. Regardless of the fact he he says the money was for humanitarian causes, the fact that he handed the money over to a Govt. official, when the current Govt. is Hamas, consitutes him raising money for Hamas which is an organization that is on Canada's terrorism list, and that means he cannot enter the country. It is not a matter of free speech! By all rights he is free to say what he wants, short of inciting hate or violence, but this has nothing to do with what he is saying. The Canadian Jewish guy who was on the BBC with Galloway is the one we should be talking about. This guy seemed to think he had enough influence with either the Govt. or the Police to have anyone remotely attached in Canada, to Galloway investigated and observed.
  11. Sounds like the cart is going before the horse in your world. You believe the LIberals hate the west because westerners hate the Liberals so damn much it has to be only natural for the reverse to be true.
  12. And here I thought it was a stereotype. Man you guys really are our Texas.
  13. Shhhhhh This a widely held belief by most conservatives that must not be debunked. IT is right up there with the Liberal Biased Media and the belief that allowing homos to marry will destroy an institution.
  14. What is so unsubstantiated? He has admitted on tape that he knew of a financial offer to Cadman. The CPC want to bankrupt the LPC, and a million dollar lawsuit would further that plan. Harper felt what was said was untrue months ago and now he drops the fight to clear his name, in essense allowing the accusation to remain undefended. I am sorry, but if you are innocent, why would you not try to clear your name? Especially as the PM of Canada! He had to have known that things would come out that would be damaging to his carreer. Here is exactly how I see it. The Liberals may have libeled Harper's character by saying that it was a $1M life innsurance policy that was offered and that he knew of it. He is on tape saying he knew of an offer but he did not know what the offer was. He would not want to admit under oath, aswell as the microscope of a trial, that he knew an offer was being made. So he very well may be innocent of knowing of a $1M life innsurance policy being offered to Cadman, but he is guilty, self admittedly, of know an offer was being made to secure a vote in the HoC. To admit such things in court would be a political disaster.
  15. The only ones trying to spin this are the CPC. 1. Harper and the CPC want to bankrupt the Liberals, and this Lawsuit would go along way towards that end. The CPC would have no trouble affording a lengthy court battle. 2. If he were truly innocent would he not want to clear his name? It seemed extremly important a few months ago, so why is it not now? IF he was totally in the clear(which the tape shows he wasn't, by the letter of the law, as he had knowledge of an offer being made for a vote, which when made to an MP is a criminal act) he would have proceded.
  16. So you don't think that Harper was/is trying to destroy the Liberals? The CPC has already admitted as such. Bankrupting them through a lengthy Court battle is a good start to that end. The CPC wouldn't call an election until after the Libs had been brought to finacial ruin through the lawsuit, which could have taken a year or more. The bottom line remains that if Harper believed he could win the case without seriously damaging his carreer and image he would have never dropped the case in a million years. You don't run away from a slamdunk win. TO do so is in essence an admission of wrongdoing on Harper's part.
  17. Ahh, the old "B-b-b-but the Liberals....." lmao Pathetic. Where is the integrity we were promised?
  18. Here's the thing WB, The liberals literally can't afford to go through a trial. If the CPC had won it's majority we would be seing the whole thing played out, but with Harper on the brink of losing power he had to concede something for liberal support. Harper also knows that he can't afford to risk the chance of losing. This is the kind of caes that hangs on symantics, and depending on the judge the case could go either way. The biggest thing against him is that Harper admitted he knew some kind of offer was being made to Cadman. By the letter of the law that is wrongdoing. Now whether the Liberals overstepped any laws in posting what they did is another matter all together. That is where the grey area lies. Bottom line is that it was in neither party's best interest for this case to come to fruition in the courts. In part it is an admission of guilt on Harper's part, for if he knew 100% he was in the clear he would have simply bankrupted the Liberals with a lengthy court proceding. I am sure he would have done so anyway, except for the fact that he needs the Libs now to make parliament work. What I can't ignore is the fact that if Harper was 100% in the clear he could have bankrupted the LIbs through court costs, called an election and be the people's ONLY choice. Being able to dominate the media while the Libs can barely afford airtime, thereby guaranteeing his majority. With the good strategy they have shown recently I cannot see them ignoring this, unless there was something very damaging to the party.
  19. I get no joy from people now understanding the uselessness of the CPC platform on daycare in 2006. But I was right damn it!
  20. Your post is as useful as ever. This is just someone with too much time on their hands and an axe to grind with the libs. This would be a sad argument against any party, even by Liberal standards. THe best people were chosen for the job. That is all that matters. Choosing a woman just because she is a woman(or any minority) is just as bad as not choosing her(them) for the same reason.
  21. 2% x 300,000 = 6,000 So it would save you $6000 on a $300,000 home. A decent income tax cut would give that back to me in 2-3 years. That way I could take the income tax I saved and put it towards my mortgage which should help me pay it off sooner and save me even more money. Then in the following 20+ years that income tax cut is going to mean a heck of a lot more to me than the initial $6000 I would have saved on the GST.
  22. I belive the same has been done the other way in the past. "Protect Alberta from the East" has been a rallying cry before. Didn't someone mention a "firewall"???? There has been talk of Western Alienation for decades. It has become self perpetuating with both sides using what the other has done, to increase their own rhetoric, thereby giving the other side another reason to do something else to fuel the fire. Canadian politics needs some sanity real soon.
  23. Does a 2% GST reduction mean more to me than lower income taxes? NO. Do the rich who spend more on GST applicable items save more money than the common person? YES. If the CPC were smart they would have lowered the income tax for the 1st $75,000 so that the lower income people have more money to spend(on GST applicable items no less). Instead they lowered a consumer tax which benifits large consumers the most. It isn't just the big ticket items. Weekly trips to the salon for $100 worth of pampering is not something that is done by people in a low income bracket. Low income families are eating at McD's for about $30, while higher income families are eating at The Keg for about $150. Just everyday spending is where the big difference is. It just keeps going. New couch? Your income is going to determine if it is the fabric or leather model you go home with. A consumer tax is better because if you can afford to purchase more then you contribute more. 0% income tax and a higer GST would be ideal as far as I am concerned. Give me my whole paycheck, and what I spend on goods and services, I pay tax on. Sure stuff would get more expensive but we would have alot more money to spend.
