We are witnessing and reading the typical skeptical responses that comes with every new invention or development. We note that although hundreds of inventors were trying to make the airplane a reality, the Wright Brothers as well as the many Belriot Fliers and their tours couldn't make the airplane any more than just a public curiosity. Then came WWI when the airplane became an urgent need first for surveillance then for bombing and finally as a fighter. The electric car will have to go through its own rites of passage before urgency makes it a necessity as those protectionist forces crumble.

Rest assured that MD's and other like-opinions on this discussion forum are not shared by the general population.

While business analysts (as well as members on this discussion forum) critique Canada for not being entreprenurial enough, out comes something proudly Canadian and globally competitive yet unsupported by our own government. Our streets need more alternate vehicles such as hybrids, motor scooters, bicyles, public transit and these electric cars. They should vastly improve not only the environment, our expenditures as well as local traffic congestion. It's disturbing how the same people who traditionally fly the banner for choice and market competition continuously act the contrary.

No formal apologies given, no removal from no-fly list: My argument still stands.

It may prove to be an effective strategy for winning the next referendum. There may not be any non-francophones left in Quebec to vote "no" because they have been chased away.

Wow, another amazing discovery. The rain kept 1,346,409 PC supporters away!!

I'm sure some of them, from where they came from, may have braved worse than just rain to exercise their right to vote.

As I have suspected.

To answer the original question, I would say Proportional Representation.

Golly, the same thing happens when you take away enough Liberal and NDP votes!!! Amazing.

This forum sooo represents the views of the general population.

Do you own firearms?

Still can't beat Frank McKenna's results when he won all of the seats with 60% of the popular vote.

Me? Is that on the condition of my being white or lynchable?

First Pass the Post

List Members will be no more hand-picked than are the current FPTP candidates. http://voteformmp.ca/how_mmp_works#stronger_representation So if you don't have a problem with the FPTP selection process, why would you with MMP?

Geronimo isn't on this list.

So we reject the eighteen successful PR systems because two of them have problems? Don't you wish the Olympic bids and Free Trade Agreement had to meet this level of standard?

It has been since 1603.

Ah, revising history. Should we bring up the whole thing on the Iraq war/911 and all that?

He should have done what other Republican's had done, plead ignorance. In his defence, Craig didn't know that officer wasn't gay.

Though it may take 40years, right wing thought does evolve and progress. It's hard to believe how some rightwingers are now portraying Rosa Parkes as compared to they felt back in the 60s. An ironic use of the term "whine" when in October 2006, a study released indicated that whining children grow up to be Republicans. Also interesting this one person is the last hold-out to defend the Bush-Cheney legacy when the rest of the Party has abandoned them. It's no co-incidence the Dick Cheney may be the first Vice President to NOT run for the Presidency.

NDP. What the hell. You know they won't win at the current 14% anyways. If you vote PC on the same logic, the problem is, they might win!!

The failures of capitalism gave rise to the need for socialism.

This should be addressed to all nonLiberals who vote to keep the FPTP: don't complain anymore.
