Seems to be time to bring this forward again

The Last thing we need is more centralization. If you don't like where minimum wage is in your province then vote the bums out. There are already enough decisions made by MPs who know nothing of the regions out side of their homes and Ottawa, to make something like this work. Not to mention that the cost of living varies greatly from place to place. This would be a horrible thing to do.

Watch for Newt I am betting after the Nov midterms he starts to organize for a Presidential bid.

That was good for a giggle.

Your better off buying a segregated fund it pays to a beneficiary and bypasses probate (like life insurance), and it does not have the large cost of a whole life or similar policy.

So do you think something magical would have happened between the beginning of Christmas break and Jan. 27, that would have caused those bills to receive royal assent while the house wasn't sitting?

So are you going to post lists of every convicted drunk driver in the barrie area so the others know that they won't be allowed back on the road? That is not the charge nor has any evidence been brought forward to insinuate. It seems that to you this is more about politics then it is about justice. On a side note I wonder what your position on a certain ex oylmpic snowbarder who is now a liberal nominee for the next election. I just wonder.

What sympathy I never liked Jaffer, like I said what bearing on anyones life, he is no longer living in the fish bowl, its just too bad the justice bills got held up by the commons and senate commitees and weren't signed into law.

The guy obviously has problems so why are the vultures like you circling, what bearing does his criminal proceeding have on you life?

open court n. the conduct of judicial proceedings (trials, hearings and routine matters such as trial settings) in which the public may be present. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/open+court

What right is that?

Whats it to you? He is no longer an MP his life is no longer in the fish bowl.

IAEA says secret Iranian research could be aimed at nuclear weapons By Joby Warrick Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 18, 2010; 3:31 PM Iran appears to have recently pursued secret research projects that could help it develop nuclear warheads, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said Thursday, casting fresh doubt on Iranian claims that its nuclear intentions are peaceful. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/18/AR2010021803378.html

You do realize that CMHC was brought in to being to lower the down payment amount from 25% to 10%?

Doubt it, she needs to hire a new publicist.

IF you go by your statement then the current formula breaks the constitution as well since it funds a provincial daycare service in Quebec but no other province. Other provinces have better access to doctors then Alberta, as well as better funded per capita social services then Alberta, or even ontario. Things aren't equal now, and there is no way to make them equal. The perception of Equal in society is a fallacy.

More then you get out of your province I bet. Manitoba semi anually, the east coast, and Ontario Annually. Yep here we go the 42% is the lunatic fringe, the fact that the number is this high should be troubling, it was to Preston Manning in the eighties when the seperation sentiment was on the rise here, his Reform party (for all the negativity it received from Ont. east) was one of the contributing reasons why separatist movement did not gain traction here in the late eighties. .

It showed Albertans at 42% support of separation it was interesting. 35% of Western Canada if favour of separating, it was very interesting indeed, but thewn again that was the poll It was referring too in the beginning. IF Western Canada is so happy about confederation wouldn't the separation question generate less then ten percent support that would then leave only the wacky fringe wouldn't it. Or is anything less then 50% wacky fringe support.

No I don't each province should have equal per capita representation meaning each riding no matter where in Canada should be made up for example of 100,000 people. Our second house ie the senate should be the balance against the tyranny of majority ie each region gets 30 elected senators. Example Atlantic Canada 30 senators, the west 30 senators, central Canada 30 senators. Now you have a balance of power. Those with the Majority of the people have a say that reflects the will of the popluation, then in the senate you have the balance against that tyranny of majority. Or do we not understand what the tyranny of a majority is, but I would think that such good students of Canadian Charter of Rights would understand this conept, as the charter was suppose to be designed to take the tyranny of majoirty away so that the rights of an indivdual would not be impeded. What do you they teach in school now? Since you can't get such simple concepts.

Its not about winning an argument you moron its about having your voice heard and not having opinions just dismissed. As for your comments on Harper being Christ get bent. No one here has made that statement. Go on be fool and keep feeding the fires of discontent in Alberta. For being on the open minded side of political spectrum you people seem to be very close minded, unenlightened, ignorant, condescending fools. But you know a national Day care program will solve all of the countries regional problems.

Have I linked to any of those sites..... no Have you brought the subject up. I have heard it in Calgary, I have heard it in rural alberta, how often do you travel this province how often do you leave your bubble. I am in Edmonton and Calgary on a bi weekly basis, I am in Central Alberta Almost as often Southern Alberta by monthly and Norther Alberta Semi Annually, just how in touch are you? Hell I even get to hear what neighboring provinces think semi annually since I am each of the western provinces every six months. I also get to see all types and ages since my job has me interacting with many people. I need to know whats going on politically and economically as both have a substantial impact on my industry, and ultimately my job. So take your condescending attitude and shove it.

You don't seem to get it do you this isn't about whether or not its going to happen now, its about whether that feeling lingers. I have proven the sentiment is here and that it isn't just a fringe group that thinks this way. Depending on how and what the future brings will dictate which way that support goes up or down. The fact that 40%+ of the Alberta population would even consider separation is a devastating number. So again this is the message we are tired of being the Countries slaves we want this country to be amended so that it is not ruled by the tyranny of the majority, we want every region to have an equal say in government. We want each province to have the same per capita representation. AS it sits right now, Quebec and Ontario have the seats to dictate their will on the rest of Canada. Their is no check to this power.

This getting interesting, First I am nothing more then a Harper shill, now I am kooky western separatist. Which is it am I an nationalist shill or not? Is all you've got left to marginalize Alberta, is that your only argument left? You don't like the message so you attack the messanger. Until you people can grasp that whether you beleive it or not Alberta does not think it gets its share of respect in Confederation these thoughts and movements will linger and strengthen.

Yes it would, there is nothing in the charter about how the formula is derived.
