Uhhh, so military spending is on *toys*? Hmm, typical talk of respect except for an area you don't believe in.

House motion passes supporting Kyoto
Ricki Bobbi replied to Catchme's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Energuide used to pay for the assessments. They found that upwards of 80% of people would get the assessment on the Government dime then not go ahead with the renovations. So much for the lots of people needing help. The assessments are much less than the cost of the renovations, even after the subsidy. IIRC with the new program people have to pay for the assessments, but *IF* they go ahead and get the work done their assessment money will be refunded. 50% spent on administration is awful. The Children's Wish Foundation should be ashamed of themselves, if your accusation is true... -
Why Stephane Dion is Unfit to Govern
Ricki Bobbi replied to scribblet's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I still believe the snide un-Americanism really hides a massive inferiority complex towards the U.S. -
After years of stonewalling, and a judicial inquiry of tens of millions of dollars, the Liberals paid back the $1.14 million dollars that was illegally obtained. That was promptly? As to the legality. An act in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy is part of that conspiracy. That the Government has NOT wasted more tax money prosecuting the crimes that are clearly evident to all but the most blinded Liberal hacks is not a positive reflection on the Liberal Party's actions. Just stick to the truth. Hey, keep it up though. Every Liberal out there who tries to defend the party over Adscam drives another voter, or two or three, to the Conservatives.

Wow. What a great article. Unfortunately he is preaching to the converted in the Citizen and the Post... -
House motion passes supporting Kyoto
Ricki Bobbi replied to Catchme's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
They were in power for two years after that and never did anything? Cancelling Energuide, streamlining it and bringing it back was a strong move. Energuide used to spend 50 cents per dollar on administration. wtf??? -
So people should give up their jobs and work on minimum wage for the *experience*? Why not try making a realistic suggestion?

What's wrong with our parliament?
Ricki Bobbi replied to ClearWest's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
What a profound response. One suggestion I would make is to move to a primary system for nominations. This could be modelled on one of a number of the different systems that exist in the US. Either have people register at tax time for the party they want to support or have open primaries. This would prevent leaders from appointing candidates and give people a chance to replace an MP when they have outlived their usefulness but represent a *safe* riding... -
Just in Catchme's mind... The wacky attack on the MP seems like it could lead to a stron sympathy vote for him. Chalk up another seat for your Canada's New *Majority* Government.

Ricki Bobbi replied to ClearWest's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Realistic proposal? Easy to snipe from the sidelines, but it's tough to make priorities. -
No. Provide a link and I'll take a look. No I don't agree. I think your snottiness and arrogance is quite offensive. The Conservatives are governing well. They only *look bad* in your hack partisan eyes. I definitely do agree that your appeal to discussion is undermined by such childish attacks on the party. Ahh, the hypocrisy and faux-intellectualism of the left is what I find funny. Please don't appeal to behaviour on a higher level rings pretty lame when you only direct it towards conservatives ... then you repeatedly won't behave at the level you want other people to behave at.

Tories to Run Negative TV Ad Campaign

Exactly. I have a feeling their actual ad buy was very, very small... -
Tories to Run Negative TV Ad Campaign
Ricki Bobbi replied to jdobbin's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Whatever. They are going to be upset about seeing political ads but won't care about watching dumb*ss mutual fund, car and restaurant ads over and over? Anybody who would care about a political ad on during the Super Bowl is a hack who's vote won't be effected by the ad anywyays... -
Wouldn't surprise me. It was well known that his French was much better in private.
