  1. Show me the study and I will show you some flaws in it rendering it garbage. There cannot be any "statistical evidence" for results with unknown input. Did Ms. Kessler find a single case of a "suppressed" voter?
  2. The difference doesn't matter. The Liberal candidate has violated Canada's Election Act in Guelph and won. Isn't this a sufficient reason for cancelling the election results from the point of view of the hysterical liberal crowd?
  3. An illegitimate request is not an election rule.
  4. The Globe and Mail wrote this: http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/pushing-back-on-robo-calls-tories-blame-liberals-for-electoral-mischief/article2355453/?service=mobile
  5. My point is that the price is far lower than the hysterical media say.
  6. Israel buys F-35 for $96 mln a piece/ http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/defense-minister-barak-approves-purchase-of-20-f-35-fighters-for-around-2-75-billion-1.308235
  7. In reality, the CAT offered EMD workers higher wages than in the US plant where they are moving to. It's lefty BS. EMD never received any CDN taxpayer's money.
  8. Right now there is no mechanism for Immigration Canada to know whether a person left Canada.
  9. Your only point here is bashing Canada regadless any real facts. When people try to explain you simple and logical Canadian laws, you do not listen, you are going on insisting on some products of your imagination. Can you take your time and at least read something about this completely artificial issue? There was plenty of good detailed analyses of the situation. There is no any problem here except some people (this couple) want to be better (more rightful) than other. Can you realize that Canada does not have separate homo- and heterosexual marriage laws? It's the same one law equally applied to anybody. Similarly, there is one divorce law equally applied to anybody. And (this is in my understanding) both laws even do not distinguish between Canadians and non-Canadians. What is your problem?
  10. Not correct. NORAD has (and had) a lot to do with the airspace over Canada and the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defense_Command Not quite right. USAF just lend aircraft and crews to NORAD tasks. In peace time, it is the NORAD that keeps NA air defence. WWWTT's question is, in principle, valid. The only problem is that the answer had been known for long time. After KAL-007 incident in 1983 it was absolutely forbiden to fire on a civil aircraft with passengers in it. Plus, there had not been a precedent of using an airliner in this horrific manner. After 9/11 rules have changed.
  11. Never heard about ICAO? Read this http://www.wing.com.ua/images/stories/library/ovd/9433.pdf NORAD was helpless against 9/11 highjackers due to existing at that moment international treaties.
  12. My modest company sent my collegue and me to the Hague for some negotiation. We stayed in a very modest hotel just across the Canadian Embassy. They were two rooms $475 each per night. When I booked my vacation in Europe last summer, expedia.ca suggested many hotels with over $1000 rate per night. I see nothing extraordinary for our Minister of Defense staying in a $1450 room.
  13. Nobody's lying in this story. There is no contradiction in any statement. Just media trying to create a scandal where the events are routine.
  14. Have you read the article on your link? It absolutely clearly says that there is no single document confirming the liberal gossip about the PMO demand to use the term "Harper Government". At least nobody has seen one. Can you prove your idea using this http://news.gc.ca/web/dsptch-dstrbr-eng.do?mthd=ntnl ? By the way, isn't "prime_minister_name Government" a usual thing in Canada or any other country?
  15. You heard about some aquifier? Have you heard how many existing pipelines are already crossing Ogallala Aquifier? I heard about 2000 miles of them. Any thoughts?
  16. It doesn't matter. There is no strict schedule with the RCAF aircraft usage. Only "plans". Pilots got their records for the flight. Aircraft log was filled in too. They won't fly this mission next time. Planned aircraft flight hours will be maintained. I am not saying everything is fine. There might be abuse. Or might not. Just we need to know all facts. Media give us one side of the story.
  17. If he would have used an airline, it still would be taxpayers to pay. BTW was there a commercial flight on his route? When I served in Air Force there was a practice to fly for free on military airplanes if it matched your destination and there was room in the aircraft. I know American military and members of their families do the same. This is actually saves taxpayer's money - those aircraft fly those routes any way.
  18. I had the dilemma too. In my riding, the party I support has liitle chances to win. I considered to go to the "swing" riding where chances are not guaranteed but some help can tipo the balance. I decided to vote in my riding of residence. Just exactly for the reason not to discourage the party, the candidate of my choice. They should know how much support they have in this riding. Time brings changes.
  19. You know pretty well that the pre-election poll percentage is different from the post-election seat distribution. The NDP being marginally the Official Opposition is probable. But if this happens, the margin will be very small. The Liberals will receive many seats as will Bloc Quebecois. Yes, they will lose 10 - 20 seats each. The NPD will likely surpass the BQ, but Liberals? I doubt it.
  20. Layton will be lucky to approach to the Liberals in the seat count. No way he will be even close to minority.
  21. To be correct, Harper does not predict Layton will be the Official Opposition. Harper just makes an assumption and spins it into his main tune: "Vote Conservatives!" This is a pre-election show. Business as usual.
  22. Nova Scotia under Dexter. Taxes go up, businesses go down. There is lots closures in one year.
  23. Did you listen to the Harper's answer? It contradicts your and Milevsky assumption he didn't hear the question a day before. This is the crucial detail the left-wing media do not report. Milevsky asked a question about that Malik's incident and received the answer that was pretty neutral. According to the report of a witness, apparently Milevsky did not like the answer and asked again obviously trying to shed bad light on Conservatives. It was so obvious that the public booed him. In Victoria, BC, he asked the same question, which is in your clip, for the third time. And Harper gave the same answer, commenting that it is the same answer, Milevsky received a day before. It may be my personal opinion, but I find Terry Milevsky being extremely liberal-biased in his articles on the cbc.ca website.
  24. Only at this point. IMO, Layton is a 100% politician. His goals in election are (descending by importance): 1. Forming government. 2. Being Official opposition. 3. Increasing number of seats. Number 2 is his dream. He knows well it will never happen. Forming coalition moves him into number 1. It would be a historical achievement for the NDP. He won't hesitate a moment to demand some minister's positions from Ignatieff after the non-confidence vote in the HoC. Actually this has been already decided. The election outcome will define only bargaining power among the three amigos.
