Nice try, but you've posted this in a forum anyone who doesn't vote Conservative and has theories on the economy that is progressive wears a "tinfoil hat". If you're expecting an intelligent, reasoned debate... you will not find it here.

Don't waste your time taking the LSAT or any other test that require you to reason logically.

It's just another example of how pathetic Harper is. The thing that gets me is that he's so blatant about his lies and deceptions.

Well, if Harper ever mentions tinfoil in one of his speeches, we'll know who he's plagerizing from... Do you actually behave like this in public? I pity your wife, if you're married... or your girlfriend/boyfriend...

Oh, is that right? Care share your opinions on how Mulroney built up Canada's debt from $200 billion to $600 billion? Let's see your masterful command of economic theory explain that one.

He's just trying to make himself look like a take-charge person...

Interesting, TD seems to think that Ontario needs a carbon tax to get its economy back on track... http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=846904

By cutting funding to arts, culture, womans programs, doing nothing about poverty or the environment, and at the same time giving tax breaks to coroprations and making life easy for the eletes? Buddy, there's a reason why 60 to 65% of Canadians DON'T support the Cons and vote for left-of-center parties instead.

well, whatever the case, I would think that this now excludes you from ever running as a candidate in an election.

Would they break for Christmas in a crisis like this? Probably not. My guess is that a lot of people are spending this little break carefully playing the markets and making bundle of money in the process. Some stocks have doubled and tripled this morning.

good bye, good ridance.

Let's see some examples of this so-called immigration. So if you're saying they had the legal ability to allow immigration into their territory prior to 1920, then why aren't the land sales that they made to non-Indians suddenly no longer valid? That's right to a certain extent. North American Indians were known to adopt captives into their society, but it was usually against the captive's will. There are numerous documented cases of innocent European settlers being kidnapped and forced to live among the Indians. Often they were children, after the parents had been brutally murdered. So I guess I must be hearing things when members of SN keep whining and complaining about "white man"? Indians in general tend to view everything in terms of red and white. Claiming that I'm somehow a racist because I feel that Indians are inherently racist in their outlook is completely absurd. You'll do just about anything to legitimize the dubious manner in which members of SN operate, it would seem.

The interesting thing is that the media seems to have shifted its focus to the Liberals, and as is generally believed the more media pays attention to a certain party the better they tend to do on election day. So it should be interesting to see if Dion can come through during the debates; despite his faltering English, if he can manage to present the Liberals as moderates between the extreme right and left wing, he may just be able to do it.

You're dealing with people who just don't get it. They live in a neocon fantasy land that views anyone who doesn't or, more realistically, can't work to their full potential, and therefor is lazy and undeserving of anything but ridicule and contempt. The thing that gets me though, is that the party that embodies this pathetic ideal also happens to have many supporters who claim to be Christian, even though the Gospels preach compassion and love for the poor and less fortunate.

Honestly, do people like you exist in a vacuum, or do you actually interact with reality and just not get it? Harper's corporate buddies have cost Canada 400,000 manufacturing jobs since Harper came to power, 80,000 of those in Ontario alone. In order for people exercise their will to work, there have to be jobs available for them.

It's more like a flop-flop... Let's see whose speech he copies this time to talk himself out of this one...

I never said that I don't like modern farmers. It would seem to me, then, that your misperceptions about what I think of you stem from your own deep seeded low self worth. You know that you have no chance of being anything other than a crude and crass country yokel making a living from toiling in dirt.

Like I said, it would be next to useless trying to explain anything to you. I guess the good thing is that you're way out in rural Manitoba, and there's no chance of having to come across your uncouth kind in these parts. Even farmers in Ontario are usually not so crude and narrow-minded in their outlook. Whatever the case, if you want to farm the way you are, by all means. Society functions in such a way that certain people with certain personality types devote themselves to certain menial occupations, so the rest of society is free to pursue bigger and better things. So from the bottom of my heart, many many thanks for not having a broader outlook on life so that you and not I will waste away my life on some bleak prairie landscape far from civilization. I am going to call it a night and curl up in bed in my comfortable middle class home and a peaceful middle class suburb and do some reading from a book you could never comprehend. Oh, and maybe I'll make myself a little sandwich, too. Who knows, maybe that will be possible because of you too...

Well, if the Amish are getting similar yields then what you claim doesn't make sense. Not wanting to make big money means that the intentionally keep their farms small and not take on the burden of high operating costs in order to maintain a viable lifestyle. Again, if you look at Lancaster County, it is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the USA and this is accoplished through thousands of small, efficient, and more environmentally sustainable farms rather than a few hundred agribusinesses. It is rather frightening when some city-dwelling Ontarian knows more about sustainable agricultural practices than someone who purports to farm for a living.

I'm not a socialist. Most people living in apartments in Singapore can't farm for themselves, so how exactly is it that this makes them lazy. I'd like to see you farm on a 43rd story balcony. That's neat. Probably why a bunch of Amish moved out there and were welcomed with open arms by the locals. They know that these people can farm properly. Large agribusinesses ruin communities. Well, now that you've finished harvesting, why don't you invest some of your hard-earned money and buy a few books on Amish farming practices and figure it out for yourself. When you make more money that goes to what? Paying off massive operating costs? Amish farmers have much lower operating costs and despite their smaller farms are able to maintain large families and still save more than enough to ensure that they will be able to farm through bad times. You probably exist on a year to year basis. The Hutterites come from a different religious tradition, so it's not really a matter of being "smart"--they simply have a different outlook on life. The Amish outlook on life and the reasoning behind their non-use of certain techologies is actually rather complex, and varies from group to group. My guess is that any attempt to clarify this, though, would be next to useless. Yawn, whatever. Enjoy your next trip to the bank.

Not from Toronto. How do you know it feed poor people? It could end up in food served to some African dictator. I grow some of my own food. Potatos, tomatos, beans, turnips, lettuce... Well, if the feeling doesn't go away after he gets defeated, then you might want to head for the nearest ER.

because that's what you turned it into.

Examples? Six Nations is an entity based on a common racial heritage. This is something devised by members of Six Nations themselves, not McHale or anyone else.

Well, seeing where the Liberals are now, and the fact that there will probably be an increase in support leading up to election day, I'd disagree. People don't care who's leading the Liberals--it's Harper that they're concerned about. And in the end the fact that the Liberals do know how to manage Canada's finances better will probably sink in. But if thoughts of a Harper majority keep you warm and fuzzy while you're out on the field slowly harvesting your GM crops, by all means don't let me ruin it for you...

Layton, a communist? Well, isn't everything communist to your ilk?
