Exactly my point thanks Moonlight you rock.

In this the Baby Boomers have pretty much screwed themselves. The deficits they ran over the last 30 years have pretty much made it impossible for provincial and federal governments to look after them comfortably and if they haven't saved money themselves (most of them haven't) they may be in a fair bit of trouble....unless of course my generation is prepared to pay 60% income tax....

Guergis is a liability to the party. She's unpopular throughout Canada, she's married to a scumbag amd it's easy to doubt whether she'd win her seat back or not. I agree Bernier should have also been kicked out, but Harper's nothing if not pragmatic and Bernier is a perennial shoe-in for his riding.

Good luck. Most of them are stoned on their couch collecting EI...

She was democratically elected and she'll remain an MP. Harper can't take that away from her. There's nothing undemocratic about not wanting to associate with her though. She's an embarrassment to the party and she'll cause more harm than good. What else is there to know? Honestly? She's married to an absolute deadbeat (reflects heavily on her). She embarrasses the party at airports. That is enough itself to question why the Tories would want her around. Add even SUSPICION of corruption to the mix and you've got one big fat liability on your hands. Good riddance.

Agreed! Khadr has no business in Canada - a bunch of convenient Canadians with no interest in Canada at all other than the health care and protection it offers.

Emery is a victim of his own choice to break the law. The rhetoric in this thread though is absolutely hilarious. Please keep it up guys

The Liberals cut most of their expenses through transfer payments. They left the provinces hanging so guys like Bob Rae and Mike Harris looking like the villains. They were the ones who had to make the difficult decisions. Much of the Liberal's success in the 90's and 2000's is also due to a pretty much 10 year long unprecedented economic boom. I'll give them credit for at least not blowing all the extra revenues, but let's be honest in our praise towards Paul Martin and Chretien. A monkey with his thumb up his butt could have made the books look good back then.

I bet 5 years...with the chance of parole after 2 weeks. Seems that's how justice works in this country.

Hey neighbour I was going to bring up this example as well but you beat me to it. I admire Michael Chong's principled stance. His popularity increased because of it. He was immensely popular prior to that choice, however, and I believe his situation was rather unique because of that. If the CPC would have disciplined him, he could have easily won as an independent and Harper would have one seat less than he does today. Most MP's, however, have much more precarious holds on their seats and as such can't afford to be such free thinkers.

One of the few occasions that I'd have to agree with you 100%

If I was the dead kid's parents, this boy wouldn't survive long.

She's made HERSELF to be a liability. Nobody else did that for her. She married a scum bag (and an argument could be made of how that reflects on her) and she's done little but embarrass herself over the last few months.

Let's say for the sake of argument that its a heavily right wing magazine too....maybe that will provide some perspective to you guys...

Abortion is a last resort even here in Canada. It's generally an "oh shit" reaction to a mistake. Maybe you got too drunk to make a good decision, maybe the condom broke...whatever. In the third world, contraception and birth control are so far behind that abortion would not do nothing to actually fix the problem. People would just get pregnant over and over.

I'd love to see what sort of demographic CBC radio is pulling in. We're paying taxes to support the idealogy and entertainment of a select few. The CBC, in my opinion, is one of the most useless wastes of money I can think of.

This is how you should talk here if you don't want to get mocked. At least here it looks like you're actually interested in debating Canadian politics.

He's trying to hard to just be a troll.

If so then he is pretty damn good

If they were lies you wouldn't need to censor them. You would just be able to prove it's a lie and make the liar look stupid. That is how western media works. We're at least allowed to think for ourselves. In communist China, the government thinks for you and decides what you're allowed to believe.

It has a dark side yes. All societies do. They all have bright sides too. China has many bright sides and bad sides at the same time. Because there are over a billion of them. People are moving to the west away from China because life is usually BETTER here for them, otherwise they wouldn't do it. As for brainwash, I think the Chinese are the only ones aggressively censoring their internet --- they only want the Chinese people to see what the government wants them to see. That doesn't happen here.

I enjoyed that episode. They didn't so much make fun of Mohammed as they made fun of the fundamentalists who wet their pants and blow themselves up any time someone pokes fun at them. Well done guys.

Makes me want to scream...yet nobody seems to care :angry:

It is very obvious you have goals. You aren't here to 'discuss' Canadian politics. You're here to tell us how bad our democratic system is and how good things are in China. That's all you've done. I grew up with, went to school with and dated people born in China or who whose parents were born there. My opinions of the Chinese government are in large part based on their experiences as they presented them to me. Even they know the Chinese government lies to them.

My convince ability at least not involve threat of bullet to back of head. Better than Communist China government.
