  1. Not if Ottawa or Victoria or wherever still has the same monopoly on authority they enjoy. I don't know...they make me work under the glare of cameras to keep me honest, what makes the decision makers so special?
  2. For Trudeau's corruption? You're obviously retarded.
  3. The consensus in my echo chamber is so deafening its difficult to ignore. The volume at which the vast VAST body of medical expertise is talking remains so impervious to squelching out by dingbats without a clue. As for your chamber it's just hello...hello...hello?
  4. This makes them anti-Semites according to received Zionist ideology. In 2014, Noam Chomsky said that Zionists divided critics of Israeli policy into two groups: antisemitic non-Jews and neurotic self-hating Jews, stating: Actually, the locus classicus, the best formulation of this, was by an ambassador to the United Nations, Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.... He advised the American Jewish community that they had two tasks to perform. One task was to show that criticism of the policy, what he called anti-Zionism—that means actually criticisms of the policy of the state of Israel—were anti-Semitism. That's the first task. Second task, if the criticism was made by Jews, their task was to show that it's neurotic self-hatred, needs psychiatric treatment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hating_Jew Liked so many other things it's mostly defaulted to the same right vs left dynamic seen across all political landscapes. It's just the tone of the times we're in I guess. The best thing to do when faced with charges of anti-Semitism by you people is to follow the example of so-called self-hating anti-Semitic Jews in Israel which is to laugh at it. Haaretz writes that the term is almost exclusively used today by the Jewish right against the Jewish left, and that within left-wing and liberal circles, is "usually considered a joke".[46] Richard Forer
  5. Like I said, if the meeting isn't recorded it didn't happen and the politician can't move any business forward. If a public official suddenly produces things like permits for greater emissions, undisclosed tax breaks or fat government contracts that can't be traced back to meetings that included witnesses and a public record tongues will wag. They always get caught but almost always way to late to ever do to much about it. I'm just saying we need something more immediate and direct to contain the damage and restore/maintain public trust. Like justice, accountability delayed is accountability denied.
  6. What are you doing besides whining about it being everyone else's fault? Oh right, you're avoiding the fact its only the fault of the individual who's actually corrupt. It's hilarious that you keep defending him this way.
  7. Yes we all party in your mind like it was an unregulated Airbnb.
  8. This troll is the turtle on which your silly world seems to exist and without which your dumbass arguments simply don't. I'm definitely a lefty and all that has to do with transparency is that I'd like to subject governments I do vote for to as much transparency as possible. The last thing I want is for some self-interested arseholes to get caught doing something that could result in the election of a party I don't support. And above all else greater transparency would help dispel much of the misinformation that exists in minds like your's. Well, maybe not your's but enough that your's wouldn't matter so much.
  9. Back to rubber and glue and projecting again are you? Loser. No he was clearly found to have violated the Conflict of Interest Act after Jody Wilson-Raybould blew the whistle on Trudeau's attempt to circumvent it. Trudeau contravened Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act through a series of "flagrant attempts to influence" Wilson‑Raybould to reach an agreement with SNC-Lavalin to avoid criminal prosecution. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-wilson-raybould-attorney-general-snc-lavalin-1.5014271 There's nothing Harper did or could have done at all to prevent, catch, or punish Trudeau for what happened. You're the only one who's ever said otherwise. Because yer a frickin' loon, a troll and a hopeless loser.
  10. There are things we could do to address the privacy of politicians and the problem of politicians getting cozy with lobbyists in secret. Subject the lobbying of public officials to a page from Robert's Rules Of Order where meetings that aren't recorded simply didn't happen and as such only the business arising from a recorded meeting can move forward. The bodycam idea is really just to highlight how easy it really could be to keep politicians more honest. But I think a lot more cameras will most certainly be an important aspect of making governments more compliant with the rules around their accountability and transparency. Given the technology of AI human observers and witnesses - or process guardians as I like to call them - will certainly be needed as well.
  11. So on some level you actually do think Harper is responsible for your state of mind. That's just weird. I do give a crap man, get help.
  12. Who says? Some cops like wearing bodycams because they're sick of the public's mistrust and how it interferes in doing their jobs. There's nothing preventing politicians/parties from doing something similar for the same reason. All it would take is one to start the ball rolling and soon they'll all be competing to see who can demonstrate the greatest amount of transparency. You're going to vote for the guy who promises the most secrecy? That's basically what we have now, its called an election.
  13. No, it's not Harper's fault you're out of yer frickin' mind either.
  14. A lot more local governance and jurisdictional autonomy might correct this. Hopefully the cost of increased redundancy is offset by more realistic efficiency due to a more focused allocation of available resources. I think the closer a region's politics and decision making processes are to the ground that everyone calls home the better.
  15. And so we should vote instead for the same people that are apparently too incompetent to close ridiculous loopholes like this? Yer outta yer frickin mind.
  16. Sure, and if they do you call them liars that support corruption anyway because you're a batshit crazy troll. Genuine corruption is a genuine crime - I'm not aware of any legal requirement for Crown prosecutors to seek a mandate from voters to do their jobs, are you?
  17. Why hasn't he been charged with anything if he's been caught? You seem to think our justice system works according to public referendum.
  18. Yes the fact apparently still remains that Venandi is accepting the word of a troll without anything to corroborate why. Perhaps he, she, they, whatever is looking for something and will post it. Lord knows you never have.
  19. Can you prove that's what your crackpot research source actually says? I can believe it does but without a cite, who else would? Don't you guys share this stuff amongst yourselves or does it all come to you via Q?
  20. Who found him again? Who is this We you're talking about, you were there too or something? You say the same thing about anyone who doesn't kiss your ass around here.
  21. You're pleased with the word of a troll without anything to support why?
  22. What possible difference could that make that would matter? Preventing misinformation stemming from imagining what politicians are doing instead of knowing what they're doing would make a difference.
