That really funny I 've done pretty well, all thanks to those big oil companies driving our economy. P.S. i don't work in the oilfield.

Funny this is not what I heard from friends on the hill.

How about them waiting outside of the CPC headquarters for Elections Canada to show up.

Sounds like they had to pay the piper. Quit whining.

It depends on how far right you are.

Never would have made the National media.

I was unaware it was reintroduced, but was the money funnelled back to the party? If it isn't then it is a much different program.

The problem is that we can take it too far.

He wrote poorly reasearched book The Myth of Political Correctness: The Conservative Attack on Higher Education. Much of the book is based around that last few post you have made. John thinks that the term came aboiut in 1991. But the fact of the matter is that political correctness exists, and the term was coined by the left. It is all about shaming people for not telling it like it is, we are suppose to beat around the bush so we don't inadvertaly hurt someones feelings, which sounds noble. The you start talking with people that are not from Canada, and they have a hard time with it, they don't know if we're telling them really what we think, or what we think they want to hear. It seems like people can't be upfront and honest with eachother.

Funny you left this out and this...... So far you have nothing but a allegation.

So now that you have been proven wrong, its something different and we are fighting something that is in the past. You should expand your reading beyond John Wilson.

Oh really, prove it

Then I guess you have you ears closed. [edit] In the U.S. New Left Some U.S. New Left proponents adopted its usage. One 1970 example [2] is in Toni Cade Bambara's essay The Black Woman: "a man cannot be politically correct and a [male] chauvinist too", illustrating its usage in gender and identity politics, rather than solely about general political orthodoxy. Yet, soon afterwards, the New Left re-appropriated the term political correctness as satirical self-criticism; per Debra Shultz: "Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the New Left, feminists, and progressives ... used their term politically correct ironically, as a guard against their own orthodoxy in social change efforts".[9][1][2] Hence the phrase's popular usage in English [2] and Bobby London's usage in the underground comic book Merton of the Movement, while the alternative term, ideologically sound, followed a like lexical path, appearing in Bart Dickon's satirical comic strips. In typical left-wing usage, Ellen Willis says: "in the early '80s, when feminists used the term political correctness it was used to refer sarcastically to the anti-pornography movement's efforts to define a 'feminist sexuality' ".[10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness

Why is that our problem, they have custom agents at the boarder.

A fantasy hmm, do you think that it is someones human right not to be offened? I would rather speak my mind then have to candy coat it for someone who has such thin skin. I would love to see your reaction after talking to a texan.

And here is an example of left wing arrogance, people running around telling others how to think, and scolding those who do not hold the same beliefs as you. Sounds really mature.

He might not keep them all but he's kept more then the lieberals. And least he doesn't try to bride taxpayers with their own money. I hated nothing more then paying 30% to the liberal government to have them try to bribe my vote by offering to give 1% in federal services. At leaset we don't have a government like that anymore.

He made a promise to the people of this country to revisit same sex marriage he did and its done. This flag issue has been pure political rhetoric, from a party that has proved it doesn't care about our solders.

So why are we so quick to forgive Tommy Douglas to Trudeau? Did they not advocate eugenics?

Why such smugness, the NDP and liberals have said their share of stupid comments. The left is not morally superiour, its just the arrogance that the left has to think they are.

Is this really what you think our elected officals should be doing, arguing over how a flag should be flown over the peace tower? I sure don't. They should be discussing matters on running the country, lowering the debt, and legislation to make the streets safer. Arguing and passing bills over how to fly a flag is not the MPS jobs, it is pure political partisan ship and the opposition parties should be ashamed. IF had been the conservatives introducing this motion then I would still feel the same.

So after 16 years why can't this guy change his stripes? He has apologized now lets move on. Hell I bet if a liberal or a dipper had said something like this about christrians it wouldn't have even made the news.

Sorry I just had to corrent charter it seems he thought that sect 36 was in the original BNA document, and did not know where this amendment came from.

We don't dislike all that are in office in Ottawa, just the socialist twits, that think they know more about Alberta then Alberta does.

Bull :angry:
