Whatever makes you feel better about it, you'll just continue conducting your mental gymnastics.

I wonder what his reaction would have been, had he lived during the cuban missile crisis.

So in other words he can seek across the boarder then claim refugee status, then we might see some of the NDP liberals agree it might be time to reform our refugee system.

Fine but my taxes don't have to support it.

This is hilarious, keep going I am L-M-A-O!

So in other words because this kind of spending does not fit your agenda its not needed.

If we can't afford 9 billion on protecting our nation's sovereignty can we really afford the billions more we spend on sacred cow socialist programs?

the super hornet was sold to the brazilian airforce at a cost per unit of 100,000,000. This an aircraft that will be going out of production in the near future, we are getting the F-35 which is now just going into production and will have replacement parts for a longer period of time for a cost per unit of $138,000,000. Is a far superior aircraft, and will have a longer service life. But for someone like you who is so concerned with emissions you should be happy the Harper government wants the f-35 as it is more fuel efficient then f-18.

Really I would say the same about you global baloney nonsense and ineffective social programs.

Thats a great idea, might be time to start up a new novelty facebook page.

So what we have here is another life experience challenged student pushing his/her profs views arrogantly thinking his/her education elevates them above the rest of the posters on the board.

Why did you not call it a preferential ballot then?

So you are willing to support three different candidates who may want to take the country in different directions. Sounds like someone doesn't know how to make a decision.

This coming from someone who doesn't even know what a preferential ballot is. Better finish that poli sci degree.

It is a tool to help figure out the candidate, 36 days not a lot of time to figure out were a candidate stands on all issues. Floor crossers tend to be voted out in subsequent elections.

Its called a preferential (look it up) ballot and its garbage, look at what the liberals got during their leadership election on a preferential ballot, the worst of the three. In Alberta it was the same thing with the PC's we got Ed. A preferential ballot usually favours the weaker candidate. I understand the German system, and I don't like it. Do you think that PR has not been debated on this board before, that this is a new concept to us?

Wish washy garbage either you support someone or you don't.

I disagree the party system helps define were your candidate will stand on issues because there is no way in a campaign to find out where a candidate will stand on all issues. If they agree with a set of party policies set out in a policy manual will give the voter a sense of how they will represent their constituency.

Your vote does mean something it means you support a candidate. PR actually takes away the importance for your vote why vote for representation when its just going to be assigned because a certain party took a certain percentage of the national vote. Like machjo said you make no sense.

Popular support is plurality not majority. You want to stop the conservatives stop running so bloody many left wingers against each other. In some ridings there are more then five candidates. Pr is just the last vestige of left wing losers who could not win the nomination in real parties like the liberal party or the even I can't believe I am saying this, the NDP. Last I checked we don't live in Germany or Europe, and I really don't want to. Borton if your so in love with the German System of government and think they have it right emmigrate. I for one love the first past the post constitutional monarchy we have. The german system isn't even 100 years old yet our common law constitutional democracy has been formed over hundreds years (it started with the signing of the magna carta) we are a mature democracy, and don't let any socialist tell you different.

Did you see the word majority in my post...better read it again I said popular support. I know the german system its garbage. Doomed to ineffective coalition governments.

BS! I don't want an MP in my riding that did not win the popular support of the riding. That's exactly what PR does, if you can't win the support of your local riding how could you speak for it? PR is just the whining of losers who can win the popular vote.

No Jack I am serious after the night I had last night come and string me up and make nice and quick.
