Simon Did It !

In your view world maybe. Just build more prisons and get them all off the street. Next on the list, the Canadian Liberal Judges being put into a vote system. No more appointments that day and age is over with. Canadian people should be able to vote in their own judges.

Good points and hopefully some Canadians that are getting washed up in this rush understand what he stands for. You think a lot of companies have left Canada for oversea's just wait until this fool gets voted in. The tariffs will come swift and hard on Canadian imports to the US. Major Corporations will not be able to shut the doors here fast enough peddling back south to stay afloat. They will probably get a years notice to close up companies here. And we are not talking just a few here but major numbers if he gets voted in. Walmart won't even be able to slow him down if NAFTA is ripped up like he says.

One of my main issues with the Conservatives coming to power in Canada was to impliment mandatory sentences. I of one Joe Blow tax paying fool are very tired of this Judicial system that favours Lawyers & Criminals. Now, that will come to an end even though Clay Powell continues to spew off in local papers. Saying it does not lower crime rates is one thing but when it pumps up defence lawyers buinesses then we have conflict of interest . So you think only those who cannot be trusted in society should be locked up. That's exactley the point here they are now going to be locked up. Child molesters top the list who have had nothing but a free run for 20 years now. Getting shipped into honest peoples neighbourhoods to live amongst us is going to be over with. And the local crack heads who have about 12 offences on their rap sheets with guns issues will also be going to the big house. And please put the molesters in general population. None of this protecting the rapists for another 10 years behind bars. This will lower crime rates.

I am curious to know: what attracted you initially to Jean Chretien and the Liberals? what turned you away from Jean Chretien and the Liberals? Wayyyy back when the Conservatives brought forth the notion of free trade myself like many people in Ontario Manufacturing lives had big hopes. But prior to this I was always a Jean Fan when he was a backbencher in Ottawa watching his rise to power. He brought the Liberal party back from the bring of extinction and how many Majorities did he garner. Somewhere along the way " He Changed " and so to did the Liberals. I guess over the last five years each time one would speak on the U.S i just cringed. The high dollar has hurt us but so to has a lot of negative things being hashed over in Washington on ignorant Canucks. Say what you will but the Auto sector alone stretching from Windsor through to Oshawa is in big trouble without them. Along with a majority of our economy that relies on it. I don't for a minute want to see Harper getting close to Bush and he will be far better off keeping his distance. That character has nothing to lose now and taking figures with him won't mean squat to any Republican.

My first post here so I shall keep it short. Great to find this site it looks to have a great cross over of different parties. Can I mention one thing about the Convention that stood out like a sore thumb. Saturday afternoon we tuned in again and at one point we noticed in a clip of Martin, Chretien, Manley, Brison, Copps and a few others. To me this was looking straight into a photo of the old Rat Pack with them calling the shots. Early in Jean's rise to power I switched over tot he Liberals with great enthusiasm but by the second term it was becoming very clear this was not for me. Since Chretien left power Martin has been swimming up stream and didn't stand a chance but I ask has anything changed. It will be much the same with Dion attack the Conservative power without any solutions of their own. Thought I would just mention the Rat Pack thing his sure raised my eyebrows for a sec.
