Better to keep you in the dark then.

There's a gut check.

Please call me madmax.... commenting to Max could be an insult to all Max's in the world Seriously, while there are "progressives" and Leftwingers on MLW, this is a very Centre, Centre Right and Right, forum with some very diverse views on many subjects. Considering this topic has a polarizing effect, the poll results suggest a moderate and mainstream position. It is understandable why the CPC is not interested in going down this path.

What I find interesting about the Angus Reid Poll and the MLW poll is that on this forum the number of people supporting the above position is higher by 12% currently sitting at 57%.

You really know how to sweet talk a taxpayer.

No problem.... just have fun.

Nor do I. He has a proven track record for failure to deliver balanced budgets. He is the deficit man. He ran deficits in Ontario and took very little time in achieving the same result federally.

I have to agree based upon what I am finding locally. However, outside of these schemes, the number of foreclosures are rising but the industry is trying to keep this trend away from a prying media. It will only make things worse as the housing market stalls.

Checkbook Federalism. Very good. Sums up the bankruptcy behind this government.

Are you Argus? I was responding to Argus and his sense of public entitlement vs his spoken but not practiced beliefs of fiscal conservatism. Thus Argus is quoted and not "Progressive Tory". Hope that clears up any confusion. I am for less government as well, starting with the abolition of the Senate, not the appointing of party hacks with all those same perks, salaries and limos etc.The size of Cabinet is proof that Harper is not a fiscal conservative, which reflects the current state of the federal finances. The GST punishes poor people. Eliminate the GST, we lived without this tax prior to the Conservative government, and we can live without it today. The government has become fat on the GST and THin on the delivery of Services. What does that mean?

He is responsible for the fiscal management of the federal government since taking power.

And you like your high government salary and being a part of that big government you love to criticise. Its like having your cake and eating it too. You are part of the problem, yet wish to point fingers at everyone else around you, saying they are the problem. Your belly is at the trough Mr. Fiscal Conservative.

You never let us down

I like it. THere's a rebel in those old timers Never made that kind of association, but that is probably because I never saw any such indications in your posts or Racisms. Thanks.

That is correct. The Northern Alliance, backed by Russia and some former USSR States, as well as Iran held up against the Taliban. The Northern Alliance was willing to accept the US pipeline whereas the Taliban choose a Brazillian company, IIRC, and all the US had to do was quickly swallow its pride, aid the Rebels they had been undermining when relying on Pakistan to deliver the goods. The Afghanistan has been in a Civil War since 1979, and civil conflict prior to that. The US provided the hardware, and the NA quickly overran areas the US wanted protected, including Kabul. The US was successful in allowing the Pakistanis the ability to airlift out their supporters in one of those vietnam like visions we are so aware of. Just Oil Pipelines. And no oil has been diverted from its traditional markets, that is foreign markets. The domestic market is another story.

Nope, you can cut down your White Pine Trees, and make "White Doors" with them... Good eh Seriously that is one unique handle I haven't been able to associate with anything. Whats the scoop. Your answer will likely entertain me more then "informed" vote will.

According to this poll 31 to 1 support abortions. that is huge..... Good thing it wasn't a simple yes no question, because that one vote would look real lonely.

There has not been a "Global Financial Crises since 2006. The fiscal mismanagement of the Harper Government had occurred prior to the recent fiscal meltdown in the last quarter of 2008. Stop electioning bad governments in BC. You have LPC and CPC policies which are the same for forestry. That has nothing to do with Ontario and their choice for bad government. No, everyday people are expected to hand over large amounts of money to large corporations, banks, and yes, Forestry Companies....Its called lining up at the trough... Well if the agreement is fine, no worries over split milk.... Glad your happy with it. BC has been a have not Province for quite some time. Federal Gas taxes were to be reduced by the Harper Government. He flip flopped. Road improvements are a Provincial issue. Your Province has implemented NEW Taxes in the form of a Carbon Tax, Green SHift, Dion loving measure. Enjoy. Every Province makes arguments of "who Benefits" and Quebec sure doesn't share your opinion. Nor do I share Quebecs opinion, anymore then I share Ontario Loyalists or yours. Pretty Sad that Newfoundland can be a "have Province and BC can't. Are you a BC can or a BC can't? You absolutely support the Harper Conservatives. Therefore support their forestry policy, fiscal mismanagement, and disbursement of monies to AutoManufacturers unchecked and unaccountable, so long as the corporation receives its secured "Loan" and the CPC MPs hold onto their seats. The announcements of monies dispursed will look good in the ridings, but in the end corporations use these monies to secure the future of their operations existence, not its future in Ontario. The ship has sailed and left port and isn't going to turn around, it just needs more juice to continue the journey. I prefer swing voters. Hardcore supporters exist in everyparty, and we have plenty here on MLW. You are hardcore CPC, and have no intentions other then to defend everything the CPC has done and blame those out of power for events that have not come to pass. Good luck with that.

The CPC won more seats in Ontario then any other political party. The BQ are the same separtists that the CPC have been relying on since 2004. What you are playing out as regionalism, and firewall mentality is complete BS considering that the CPC like the LPC and the NDP are federalist parties. The CPC being the party that first offered to officially recognise Quebec as a Nation. Something that the LPC was LOATHE to do, and the NDP gave lip service to. Sorry, but the BQ butt kissing has long been held by the CPC. The only thing now, is that the CPC wants its BQ baby back, and that isn't going to happen in the short run, so they are going to affectionately kiss IGGY and see how long that works. There are more CPC seats in Ontario then any other Province. So, who is making that mistake? No one I know, nor any analysis..., BC isn't going anywhere or leaving anytime soon. The CPC immediately tried to take down the Martin Government in the throne speech of 2004 and insert themselves as a replacement government with the help of the BQ. Parlimentary rules are the same as they have always been. When the Ontario Provincial Conservatives were replaced by an Accord, there was no "East West" spin behind the move. It was parlimentary politics as derived from the elected body. In fact, the government just held an election with the intent to form a majority. They didn't succeed and the public sent them a minority of seats in order to have the CPC work with other MPs to pass legislation. Mr Harpers inability to reach across and Mr Flaherties incompetence as a finance minister reflect upon themselves and since they had chosen to go it alone, they found themselves alone and loney and challenged by parties who were willing to work together. Making parliment work. Instead of reaching out, Mr Harper is the one who Suspended Parliment. He could well have went ahead with the vote of confidence, but he was afraid. The democratic "will" is reflected by the Majority of the Seats in the house. He who receives enough votes in the house from Elected MPs passes legislation and maintains confidence in the house. The selection of Dion by the LPC as their leader, has no effect on my Elected CPC MP. He will not change. The fact that Dion was a failure is a problem for the LPC, not a problem for the elected MPs. The LPC have removed Dion. The NDP are a Western Based Party that have held and maintained Provincial Governments in 3 of the 4 Western Provinces, far more then any Conservative Party, or Liberal Party for that matter. BC, MAN, SASK have the ability to form NDP governments, something that is unlikely to ever happen in Ontario since the NDPs only run at the helm was a failure, and the NDP have never ever held more then 1 Seat in Quebec, something that the CPC out paces them in a 10 to 1 fashion. The number of "Western NDP Seats" to "Quebec NDP seats" is 13 to 1. Layton actually endorsed working with all parties in the house and making parliment work. He also did not rule out a coalition. He was also correct in stating during the election that the LPC were going to get hammered and will be looking for a new leader. I believe that when a law is passed that has fixed election dates, and the government isn't voted down, that we should not engage in futile unnecessary elections to mask fiscal mismanagement in order to achieve a majority before the poop hits the pavement. I exercised my rights and voted in September. It is the Harper Government who has subverted democracy by moving back the confidence vote, then, suspending parliment completely. He has no one to blame but himself for the current state of parliment. He is the Prime Minister. I don't know about loser parties calling elections a waste of Money. The CPC had a pyrhic victory, the NDP gained seats, and the LPC lost seats, and I believe the BQ held, but at the end of the day, it was a complete waste of taxpayers money. It was an unnecessary election. You have a crystal ball? I don't. Well, aren't you a partisan hack of the worst kind. I didn't realized that the Prime Minister called an election and was completely honest and with noble and honourable intentions. How wonderful of him to be honest and forthcoming with the public. Unfortuneately, honesty, integrity and being forthcoming, are not the Prime MInisters strengths. He is behaving and acting much like the LPC and LPC governments before him, when dealing with Senate Positions, like Fortiers, and Floor Crossings Like Emerson, and new Senate appointments. Infact, the Prime Minister held a National Address and failed to disclose that he was going to ask the GG to suspend parliment the very next day. Just an oversight from an open and honest and forthcoming PM. Mr. Harper and the CPC currently stink to high heaven, which most people are used to in politics. However, their fiscal incompetence leaves alot to be desired. Exactly, no intention of governing beyond fall 2009.

One day, a pregnant women was going grocery shopping. On her way home she saw some new shoes, and bought them. Walked by a car dealership and bought a red VW bug. Then a nice dress. She stopped and had brunch with her girlfriends, and on her way home saw an abortion clinic. Like the dress, the car, and brunch, she couldn't help herself and walked in on a whim.... There's just no way to make this story fit in with reality......

The morning after pill is abortion, which you claim is murder. Why forget the murder question? You like to bring it up, then bury it when your logic fails.

Mr. Canada..... I said, you agree with socialist ideals, I did not say that Conservatives are claiming..... those comments are of your own fabrication. And you can find this information from your own posts yesterday, where you defend the Social Programs that were brought forth by socialists. Keep on the straight and narrow....

According to your poll 22 of 23 voters, support "Murder, end of story". Prove to me that the Conservative party will present an abortion bill.

Mr. Canada is wrong both on the Socialist front and the Conservative Front. Your position is more accurate and most Libertarians have no real home in Canada and therefore exist in every political party.
