Your an idiot considering the Alberta agenda was letter asking Klein to enact the constitutional rights each province has. Rights that currently are fully employed by only Quebec and Ontario. Like a provincial police force like the opp, and with drawing from the CPP in favour of a provincial plan much like quebec has with its. i know pesky details. BTW matters of national security over-ride parliament.

Don't you know parliament is a sieve, its unable to keep any secrets. They are always chattering away.

Lets have a little more info topaz. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/parliamentary+snapshot+Which+spending+what/3064472/story.html#ixzz0orTJMNqv Those in glass houses...... Looks like that no one party is better then the others as they are all represented in this list.

Incorrect the reason why precious metals are precious are because of their uses. Silver finds itself very useful in many industrial applications as does copper and platinum. But you spoke of gold so here is a small list of what gold is used for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold

I'm glad we agree on this.

Then you must be really concerned about those holding NDP party memberships posting here without identifying who they are. Why not go further why not have a disclaimer on the bottom of each poster of who they voted for in the last election, who they have donated money to in their life times as well as membership info. Like I said before, it is a waste of our money (taxpayer). If these government staffers and civil servants want to correct info, they can do it from home, on their own time, or send out media releases.

Lets just call this what it is, a waste of taxpayer funds.

I was thinking the same thing.

Really do we not know the historical relevance of the dreadnought and naval limits put in place after the great war. The limits that were put in place left both Britain and America at a severe disadvantage while rouge nations disregarded those treaties. With the bomb, WW2 probably would not have ended in europe when it did, after rolling through Germany, it most likely would would have continued with Stalin. The Bomb kept the bear at bay.

Do you understand the concept of MAD?

Someone is living in denial of human nature, and human history.

Someone should remind topaz that the only president to use a nuke was a democrat. The one that brought us closest to a nuclear war again a democrat.

Disarmament of what? We aren't well armed as it stands now.

You do realize that Canada has no nuclear weapons right?

So you really think that most QB ridings would go liberal if the bloc didn't exist? Even the rural ones. While its not the same conservative party many many rural qb ridings would end up tory, Since the reality in QB is that most vote regional party first. You would be naive to think that with the bloc the conservatives wouldn't pick at least a dozen ridings, which if i'm not mistaken unlike you whyly that would put the conservatives in a majority government.

And in those times its not the idiots in government that do it most effectively its individuals who stand up and lead by example.

He seems to understand it better then you.

My my even someone at the T Star disagrees with you on the religious right fear mongering, I am truly shocked that is a T star blog entry. (I'm still looking for a sun logo on this and rubbing my eyes) http://thestar.blogs.com/politics/2010/05/stephen-harper-and-religion.html

Police states arrive through totalitarian government and a modern example of a move to a police state would be what is happening in Venezuela.

So you shouldn't have a problem with a person of faith holding office since faith isn't a measure of intelligence.

lets have a second look. restrictions on mobility.....nope, hasn't happened no pending bills that reflect this no party policy that reflects it either restrictions on freedom to express or communicate political or other views... nope Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state.... nope on this on too party has no policies that relfect this either So it looks like you are imagining a good may things as the facts do not support you position on this. All this is, is your vested interest vendetta against the conservatives because they do not have any plans to legalize pot.

I didn't define them, those who write encyclopedias have but your use of them is not fitting the proper definition of the terms.

I guess the political history of the 80's is lost on you.

My dispute is the misuse of terms like police state, and fundamentalist christian, ect.

So then by your definition of what it takes to be intelligent and contribute to both society and science, Da Vinci was not a genius. We should discount the work of Newton, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Kelvin, or Faraday? I wonder what you think of this quote by Einstein "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
