Hope...............and change..............hope'n change(repeat over and over). Gosh!Now that's a great speech isn't it?

Please forgive me if I come across as anti-union.Perhaps I am still feeling the effects of having been a member of the Teamsters(Local 91) for 15 years and experiencing first hand how unions can mess things up royally.Government unions are all about greed and pushing their socialist agenda,nothing more,nothing less.

Whether or not honour killings are a part of the Muslim way of life is of course debatable.I think the root of the problem is in the attitude of men towards women.Too many men in this world seem to regard women as property and not as human beings.That being said,I pose this question:On the whole,are women equal to,and do they have the same rights as men in the Muslim world?Voting rights,driving privileges,custody disputes and the like?Can you honestly say the women have equality to Muslim men in all respects?

"As many as 5000 women and girls have lost their lives-most at the hands of family members-in so called honour killings around the world each year,according to the United Nations. Up to a dozen have died for the same reason in Canada in the last decade,and it's happening more often,says Amin Muhammad,a psychiatrist who studies honour killings at Memorial University in Newfoundland." This from today's edition of the Ottawa Citizen,an article on page 3 by Shannon Proudfoot. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Honour+k...2636/story.html Just one you say?

Economic Left/Right: -3.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18 Interesting test,but some of the questions are kind of iffy.I still consider myself conservative.

Her Royal Highness has over the years literally handed out tons of award to many people,many of the awards given to people that are quite popular with the public,but otherwise undeserving.For example,dope-head bed-hopping rock stars,big deal. The Queen has lot's of time for stuff like this,she's never done a days work in her life.

I don't miss the "Progressives" one bit.How were they different from the Liberals?Joe Clark led that party for some time...and let's face it,he wasn't conservative at all.He would have been right at home in the Liberal Party.In some respects,even today's Conservative Party has some things in common with the rest of the leftist parties.All parties support big government and our open door immigration system to name a couple.The most hated Prime Minister in Canadian history is Brian Mulroney,but he was more conservative than most.Many years after he was gone from office,he ranks quite highly in terms of his biggest accomplishments,free trade and the GST,both of which have been beneficial for Canadians on the whole.Both policies which were eventually adopted by the Liberals. Canada needs a real Conservative Party.

I think this Queen's Order of Merit award has just been rendered worthless if someone like Jean Chretien get's it.He hasn't got an honest bone in his body and he is in no way,shape or form a worthy recipient.

In a nutshell,one Preadorshani Biazar,a caseworker for Ontario's Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee was arrested in 2007 and charged with the theft of $1.23 MILLION dollars from the mentally ill,homeless and even dead people she was suspposed to represent.Only a tiny portion of the money has been recovered,and she has liquidated the rest nicely out of reach of authorities.She has been at this for a period of 12 years and living the high life.Although her salary went from 50000 to 70000$ annually,she is referred to as"a relatively low earning provincial bureaucrat" complete with all the generous benefits typical of gov't positions. She may be sentenced later this year and given the fact that white collar crime is not considered a serious crime in Canada,she will likely get a slap on the wrist and be allowed to keep her ill gotten gains.Can anyone tell me why they oppose tougher sentencing again?If there were any justice in this country,she would spend the rest of her life behind bars,along with the seizure of all family assets.But that won't happen....she's probably laughing her head off. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Governme...0881/story.html

Wow,he must rank up there with the likes of Bill Clinton!

In this country,even people that have been ordered deported.....usually aren't deported.

Sexual assault is a heinous crime no matter how you look at it.Here's a story about another guy charged with a sex crime. http://www2.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/...f5-151f63b877f8

Remember,it WASN'T Harper that sent Canadian soldiers there in the first place,so perhaps you can direct some of your anger to that other guy....the guy leading the Liberals at the time.What's-his-name?

I doubt that you have ever even set foot on U.S. soil for you clearly know little about them.Out of curiousity,what are the countries that you truly admire?Is Venezuela on your list?

It's truly disgusting what this woman has been going through since she came into the spotlight.Journalism is just about dead it seems.It would be one thing if her opposition faced equal scrutiny and attacks from the media as she has faced,but the opposition got a pass.It's getting close to a year of this ordeal by fire for Sarah Palin and her FAMILY!After so many accusations and vicious personal attacks,where is the substance?Has anyone come up with something concrete yet,besides a DUI conviction from 20 odd years ago of hubby?Why have the feminist groups been silent?She deserves a fair chance,nothing more,nothing less. How does the gaffe prone Joe Biden get off so easy?

Are you one of those who choose to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday?

WHY DOES MANITOBA RECIEVE TRANSFER PAYMENTS?ANYONE?...

As I have written before,it's easier to balance the books for provinces that recieve transfer payments from provinces like say....Alberta.What part of this do you not understand?

Nobody,but nobody,can compare to the master of sleaze,LIBERAL Warren Kinsella.Remember him?No doubt you are a huge fan of his.

If you know anything about law and order in Canada,you must be aware that judges(most very left wing)are more often than not inclined to give the most lenient sentence possible under the law.....regardless of the crime.

Can you show us some peace oriented Palestinian groups or websites?

You already have that leader.You know,the guy that is a dead ringer for Lenin,Jack Layton.

Ever see the tv attack ad that left the viewer looking into the barrel of a gun?Care to guess which party was responsible for that ad?

We couldn't ask for better neighbors,party hard guys!!

With the exception of George W.Bush,has there ever been another U.S. politician that has been under such scrutiny or endured so many vicious,unsubstanciated attacks from the decidedly liberal media as much as Sarah Palin?What is it about her that so angers/terrifies the left?
