.... the CPC comes out of Manning's Reform Party, which ran on the catch-phrase, "The West wants in!"..... the CPC is nothing more than Western separatists.
logic bomb
-
NDP a more Federalist party then the CPC who throw the idea of Federalism ...
still confusing being Canadian federalist with federalism....remember, we are a confederation, not a federation. Less central government is the key to confederation...as they planned it.

You're obviously not aware of this, but they do just that when they become MPs. Even the Bloc MPs had to swear their loyalty to the Queen.
I am aware. I was thinking more of live, in front of cameras, on Radio-Canada...before an election
-
I could too, but of course that's not true.
What's not true? Are you saying that the NPD now support Clarity Act?
-
Now how do feel about Cabinet Ministers being former members of the BQ?
I think they should be required to take an oath of Loyalty to the Queen.
In French of course...
-
Or better yet, stay and continue to criticize the system, for our benefit.
Yes. Thankfully, our soldiers are their to support that option.

Wow. CPCers sure are poor losers, even when they win a majority.
Well, if not liking a party that has made it their position to ignore the rest of Canada and other stakeholders in Quebec's future, in order to be liked by separatists is being a poor loser ( or poor winner) then fine. I can live with that.

It's not appropriate. The ROC have been waiting for Quebec to get back on board with federalism and as soon as they do, the ROC questions their "loyalty". The Quebec Left had been supporting sovereignty for some 40 years. Everyone and I mean literally every last politically active person on the Left in Quebec has supported sovereignty in some shape or form in that time. Now that Quebec has taken a chance getting back on board with federalism, showing that "Quebec wants in", the loyalty of MPs in a federalist party are questioned because they were politically active on the Left.
You want to question the loyalty of federalists, do it when they act like separatists, not before. Until then all you're doing is saying that Quebec doesn't deserve to be involved in the federal government. And I'm sure you can imagine how that will work out. By alienating Quebec from federal politics, you're giving support to the sovereigntists you claim to be fighting. The only solution to a Quebec that can't take part in federal politics is an independent Quebec.
What evidence is there they are "back on board" with ferderalism? Aside from supporting a left wing party seen as soft of separatism?
-
Since you're rejecting my supported claim, then cite that passage in the Bible to back up your assertion.
You seem to know more than the Apostles do what Christ meant.
Really now...so you think that the apostles believed that Jesus was editing the Law?
anyway, Jesus implicitly condones polygamy and the entire body of Mosaic law....Some Jewish men approached Jesus and asked what would happen in heaven is, say, a man died leaving his childless wife behind which meant that a brother of the dead man was obligated (under the Law) to marry her...
Now Jesus didn't ask...is this man already married? of course not, because being already married was not an obstacle...
-
In theory the idea of a Confederation is fine. In practice it's unworkable.
Ummm..in practice it has been working for 144 years...
-
But assuming that isn't imminent ... is there an alternative to the 'growth economy' model so we can live here sustainably? Is human life on earth self limiting because we are dependent on growth?
OR ... is that just a bad economic model?
Absolutely. Just reduce the world's population to around 5 million, trash all our technology beyond flint knapping and let the forces of nature work.
-
I think that is what needs to happen too. Maybe not the actual people but this political economic structure we use needs to die, it creates too many problems and its solutions usually lead to bigger problems.
Come back when you have a solution that doesn't offer greater problems...
-
And once they burn through that...
We're still stuck the need to grow, an imperative to produce, and a dwindling stock of natural capital to produce growth. What then, hire more police?
Buck up Crewman Eyeball...there will always be a position with red shirt for you in the Delta quadrant working the interstellar kelp mines...

That would be the government by way of estate tax.
I'm sure eyeball is against inheritable wealth anyway..

touche'
More often than not, I find maple leaf to be a few cards short of a deck...but he does have a point.
The hooligans do have a lot in common with the Ghaddafi regime.
The main goal of the regime and the holligans has been theft and neither have shown any hesitance to attack their fellow citizens...

Actually he's right, the neighbourhood hit first is known as little Mogadishu,
cite....
The borough is very ethnically diverse. It has extreme contrasts:[4] areas in the west, such as Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are among the most prosperous in the country; in the east of the borough, some wards are classified as being among the most deprived 10% in the country.[5]The population grew by 8.6% between 1991 and 2006 and is projected to grow by a further 5.4% by 2016 to 233,125. The male to female ratio is 50:50 and the age structure is similar to that of London as a whole although younger than the national average.
Haringey has a high proportion of young adults in the 20-39 age range and a low proportion of residents aged 45 and over. The borough has a high proportion of lone parent households.[16]
The ethnic composition of Haringey's residents is 65.5% White, 20.1% Black, 6.7% Asian, 4.6% Mixed, 1.1% Chinese and 2% Other. An estimated 193 languages are spoken in the borough.[17][18

I'm all humour, but that was maybe just a bit too subtle for me.
I guess after failing miserably in Quebec, all CPCers can do now is question Quebeckers' loyalty.
Always a good idea...as a matter of fact, questioning the loyalty of all NPDers is appropriate, even the anglo wing (and especially the BC wing)....too many closet internationalists for my liking
-
Now he wants to be done with it after perpetuating a thread all last week because it involved the "NPD".
I wonder how many of the NPD...or even the anglo wing, would refuse to pledge to the Queen? I suspect their allegiance to the head of state is shallow...and the Queen, odious to them.
Which is why an oath would be so amusing.
I guess lacking humour, you missed that...

Today's Paradox: After an unprecedented downgrade of US long term federal debt, sales of US bonds are stronger than usual:
The U.S. Treasury had no trouble attracting investors to its auction of $32 billion in three-year notes on Tuesday -- the first bond sale since Standard & Poor’s cut the nation’s credit rating to AA+ from AAA on Friday.are the interest rates higher?
-
They should all be asked to make oaths of loyalty to the Queen and be done with it

in Canada anyway, has evolved into accepting hooliganism as a legitimate form of protest.
Again, who is accepting it?
These riots are nothing more than soccer hooliganism on a grand scale...and just as politically motivated. The motivations are fueled by lager, consumer goods and pure ardrenalin excitement.
Trust me, this ain't the revolution

Why did you omit this?
Because we were discussing unemployment, not your apologia for violence.

Here is a what if.....What if France decided to back an independent Quebec, ....

There is so much you don't recall....
We fight our wars overseas so we don't have to fight them here...
