Why would I? I don't respect you enough to bother.

I don't they are over there as a service to the troops and to increase moral.

Whats funny about this is you really have no clue either.

It was allowed to open to give the troops a little piece of home. I don't know how it is/was operated, but really it doesn't matter.

Why? The Timmies was put there to help with the moral of the troops.

I have never seen/heard of a war medal whats a war medal. If you don't understand that the military gives out service medal, then maybe you should withdraw your post and go an educate yourself on what a service medal is and why they are awarded.

Why not just increase the amount people are allow to donate per person to 2200? I think the opposition parties need to stop relying on government for money and start asking their supporters to properly fund them. As I pointed out in my last post the Conservatives are good at fundraising and draw a lot of small donations. For only receiving 34-37% support they out fund raise the other parties combined. There should not be a big discrepancy. The Liberal party which is only 4-8% points behind the tories in popular support should be able to fund raise close to the same from its base, but it doesn't. The tax payer should not have to make up for the inablity of the liberal or the NDP parties to figure out how to effective fundraise from their base.

It was not a jab at people on welfare. That is your fabrication, why do insist upon something that just isn't there?

It will go back, but its funny that elections Canada is getting in the way isn't it. Why would they want to force a political party to keep a tax rebate it isn't entitled to?

Why does the money have to come from corporations and unions? Why can't the small donations be made from there large base of support? Why is it the conservative party can raise more in a year then all of the other parties combined, yet only enjoy about 34% of the popular support? Surely the liberals with almost 30% support should only have a discrepancy in the amount raised of 4%, and the NDP who are sitting around 15% less then conservatives in popular support should be fundraising only 15% less then the conservatives. Why the huge discrepancy in fundraising numbers? Why can't the liberals and the NDPs do the same? It's no secret lots of 10 to 20 dollar donations from a large portion of the base of support for the party. Why is this concept lost on you?

Nothing at all was said about people on welfare, you brought it up, WHY?

Elections Canada will loose the appeal.

No they didn't. They have even fought and won a court battle to return gst rebate money to the tax payer.

Yep instead of fundraising the liberals and NDP want to be entitled to their government entitlements.

And the conservative party raises more in a year then all the opposition parties put together. The conservatives can see how wrong it is to have the vote subsidy and are willing to take the biggest hit on the money coming through the door from the government. Why can't the liberals and NDP do without this direct infusion of tax payer money? Why don't their supporters financially support their party to the level needed?

Garbage, the majority of Liberal or NDP supporters can't afford 10/month. Most conservative money is small donations like these. Why is it the conservative supporters that are more willing to spend there money and support the party? Why is it the liberals and NDPs think that someone else should shoulder the burden of getting their message out? The government has no business spending tax payer money on political parties.

Really, why is it that those same parties not sustained by their voting base why do they need to rely on taxpayers to sustain them?

It is too much and if those parties want to raise more from the public then they need to move their agendas closer to what more Canadians want.

How will warren buffet or bill gates determine the agenda if they can put in only 1100 per year? I think you missed my next post. http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=16130&view=findpost&p=526412

If the entity does not have legal status to vote why should it be able to donate money to political organization? This would be foolish to open up again, and make the canadian government beholden to special intrests and lobby groups. It would be better to reduce the amount that can be spent on federal campaigns and increase the personal donation limit.

Every voice is not equal. Its disgusting that you would think this the nut cases don't deserve to get the same soap box to stand on and someone who is more mainstream. If you can not persuade people to fund you message its probably its not worth my tax dollars. Fund it yourself.

I do. Democracy needs differing opinions and debate. I wonder if he realizes just how socialist Israel is.

You form a political party in order to advance your agenda by gaining the government.

Don't you think this is a tad bit ridiculous.

They have a pile of national guard units.
