If he didn't follow through on campaign promises then he'd be bad for not doing so. I've seen another ad running in Ontario that is extremely unethical, at least the incorrect Harper quote is. Most people buy into it not realizing what was actually said.

I understand that the vote by the farmers was conducted by the CWB not the gov't. I would say the farmers voted with their ballots the last election, electing a CPC gov't which promised to get rid of the board. If the board really is worth while then the farmers will stay with it, they won't opt out, thus it will survive on merits. Ontario doesn't have a board, they rejected the concept. We don't need forced collectives and oligarchies or draconian wartime measures remaining in place now.

Not counting Canada or the European Union, Canadian taxpayers provide foreign aid to half the remaining members of the G20. List of G20 nations receiving foreign aid from Canada •Argentina $2.66 million •Brazil $9.43 million •China $35.86 •India $29.51 million •Indonesia - $36.93 million •Mexico $2.6 million •Russia $3.38 million •South Africa $19.85 •Turkey $1.07 million

India also receives aid payments from Canada, yet as with China they have grown their capital through their expanding economies so I don't see that we need to continue giving aid to India either. It doesn't seem right to hand over millions of dollars to countries whose economies are booming as we lose jobs at home.

Being able to eat shark fin soup ?

As I understand it, the Wheat Board was developed as an option around 1935 but was made compulsory for WW2 purposes, yet draconian wartime measures remain in place. The Wheat Board only operates in AB, SK, and MN where it has a monopoly. It has no jurisdiction in the other provinces, which makes me wonder why the board is spending money running ads in Ontario opposing it, and pushing the lie about a Harper quote for propaganda purposes and disinformation.

I told you - Please to remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot It's symbolic of the plot to blow up parliament, they must feel that it should be done here.

Well said. !!

IMO it means throwing aside our own culture and heritage in favour of others, along with being ever so careful to make sure that everyone else's religion, culture and so on are accommodated, even if ours are not... Hold the flames please...

Blowing up Parliament - that's what gunpowder treason and plot, as it where !!!

Totally agree, there is no reason why we should be giving aid in any form to China. Last year we gave 36 million to a country that has over 2 trillion in reserves, along with a huge military. We really need to ask a lot tougher questions about how our foreign aid dollars are used.

Indeed, but maybe the Liberals been rethinking their position in branding the conservatives as "religious fanatics". They won the election so maybe the liberals need to be seen as defending religion - hey we got religion too ya know. Besides, the RC Church is against abortion, birth control and believe in creationism, so Justin must really have a dangerous hidden agenda.. Heck Liberal MPs even put forward a bill a http://openparliament.ca/bills/40-3/C-573/ for a Pope John Paul II Day supported by http://www.johnmckaymp.on.ca/newsshow.asp?int_id=80693

Naturally it's the CPC's fault and nothing to do with a huge global economic problem, in particular Europe - Greece and all.

Exactly... they still use Harper's religion in the usual scary agenda tactics, double standards and all...

Talk about hypocrisy and liberals in glass houses not throwing stones... It's okay for them to question and make fun of Harper's religion - hidden agenda yadda yadda, but not one of theirs - hypocrites !!! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2011/11/03/pol-justin-trudeau-faith-spat.html

It was funny - sometimes we have to get past political correctness and laugh.

IMo it`s time they were given the boot. They are entitled to peaceful assembly but are not entitled to illegally occupy a public space. They`ve made their points, whatever they are... time to move on.

That thought crossed my mind... - Not to mention that in N.Y. as a consequence of their (protester's) actions 21 people have lost their jobs. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/11/01/milk-street-cafe-owner-sacks-21-employees-as-consequence-of-occupy-wall-street-demonstration/ The Occupy Wall Street movement, which says its goals include improving the economic lot for 99 percent of Americans, may have some explaining to do to some cafe workers now out of a job. and in Vancouver they are looking at half a million in costs so far...

Oh come on really, there are umpteen posts that could fit the same description. (don't stimulate discussion). There is a health concern, rats have been reported at one Vancouver site... it's time for them to leave, they've made their point I think, not sure what it is in Canada. There's no reason why cities should continue to allow an occupation of public land, they've had their say, it's time to go.

It's up to the CBC to retract and apologize. I see no reason now why Ford should release them as it wouldn't matter, you et al would simply say they were edited - so what's the point.

Not being a 'Ford Lover' I wouldn't know, but I do know that it has been said repeatedly on here, that due to death threats on himself and his family the police advised him to call 911 if he felt necesssary - what part of that don't you understand - or are you willfully ignoring it. Ideologically blinkered beliefs will not allow you to consider that it is now fact that Ford did not lie.

Not a good idea to simply repeat lies without checking the news tonight is reporting that TO Police says that the Mayor did not use those words and did not say 'I'm Rob-fucking-Ford,' etc. during a 911 call Monday morning and has released a statement to that effect. Not that the Police Chief's statement or facts will sway anyone from their ideological blinkered beliefs. LOL

That is fact, if you don't believe it, call the police and ask them, that is advice they gave him due to his receiving death threats which are documented. He didn't call THREE times, he called twice - they returned his call while he was on his way to work. That's when he got frustrated with their response. I didn't say it got dark to light, you are not reading or understanding... I'm saying that we don't know what time it was as we are not seeing the whole clip, and we don't know if CBC used light filters. You might want to read about it.

There is no evidence that he lied.. in the link I posted it shows there was a child there, we don't know if it was dark when they first accosted him and ran up the driveway as we don't see all of that in the CBC tape, of which they are only showing us the last minute or so. We don't know if they used a filter on the camera either. So far, it's all speculation and innuendo with very few facts, other than an edited CBC tape and 911 gossip reported as fact. And again, he called 911 because that is what the police have instructed him to do due to death threats, he did the right thing calling 911, not knowing who they were. It may have been an over reaction, maybe we wouldn't have called 911 but if I'd had death threats I sure would, There is absolutely no evidence that he called the operator names berated her, but he admits to useing the F word out of frustration in the third call (they made to him). The CBC is not looking good in all of this and makes a da.n good case for cutting it's funding ASAP, their credibility is on the line here more so than Ford's.

Kudos for that WB !!! I posted this allready but will do so again - so far there is no evidence that he lied, so until the CBC releases their unedited tape, starting from the beginning, and the 911 tape is released, it is all supposition and malicious innuendo. Ford's daughter heard screaming on 911 tapes
