Molly, in the town I come from, St Joeseph's Hospial no longer exists.
Other than that I agree with you, one school system for everyone. One central language spoken with courses available in 2nd languages for those who want to take them.
Religion should not be in the curriculum, than again nor should social engineering, ie 2 mommys, 2 daddys.

Supply and demand. They control the supply and incite the demand. It's a game being played by the oil/gas/broker/cabal, period.
-
Gas is about $3.90 for a Canadian gallon right now, way too high. The politicians and media talk about everything else affecting the economy but forget about the liquid gold.
Not only has it reduced our disposable income but think of how it's upped the transportation cost of the consumables we buy. Those increased costs have been passed on to us further reducing our disposable income as well as our buying power.
The stimpacks that will be handed out will do nothing if the cost of fuel remains high.
If the oil/gas/broker/speculator cabal starts it's ratchet dance upward again, they might as well flush the money, our money, down the toilet.

Hey, the Convenient Canadian already wood the heck out of Progressive Tory, what else does he need?

Appeasing Quebec Is the correct answer in my opinion. I also believe that outside PQ english should be our official language, it's lopsided as hell right now. Quebec isn't really bilingual, even the House of Commons isn't bilingual.
As an old guy who may not be around to see it I think that the future will be a linguistic minefield.
Sooner or later our newest Canadians will be wanting in on the action, that should be fun.

After seeing what the oil/gas/broker/speculator cabal has done to our economy I'd say turf capitalism.

Without a doubt. How about those illegal migrants too?

Martin whipped his cabinet?
:lol: Perhaps you failed to realize in your haste to condemn Paul Martin that in December, 2006, Stephen Harper was Prime Minister.
Martin forced his cabinet(shadow) to vote in favour of ssm, period.
Remember the cabinet minister who was fired for blabbing classified stuff on a plane? Andy Scott was his name, sent back to the benches,
FF to the Justice Committee on the definition of marriage. It wasn't going well for the Liberals, so Courchon yanked two committee members and replaced them with known ssm supporters. One of whom later stole an expensive ring for his boyfriend.
A vote was called to end the committee after the three Ontario judges approved SSM. It didn't look good for a yes with the liberal Lee supposedly against ssm and the deciding vote. Suddenly he was called from the room. They wouldn't wait for his return and the tie vote was cast. The chairman cast the deciding vote, and the ssm side won. Two seconds later Lee entered the room ansd said aw shucks.
The chairman was non other than Andy Scott and for his good work was awarded another cabinet posting.
Stomach turning Liberal hypocrisy

No harper fan here, but integrity? he has more in his little finger then the`hole Liberal party

OK as long as the other Canadian splashes are there too.
Was trying to wath a Montreal conference on "trying to have the French language for anything and everything"
It wa a speakover in English , Thomas Mulclair(spelling?)was sitting on the panel.
I first believed it was an English/French debate, you know the one where everybody must be bilingual.
But a thought occured, with the amount of immigration in todays Canada I believe these folks may well be concerned that other groups will be insisting that their languages be recognized.

On December 7th, 2006, the House of Commons voted 175-123 in a free vote to reject Stephen Harper's discriminatory definition of marriage.
Stephen Harper on December 7, 2006: "We made a promise to have a free vote on this issue, we kept that promise, and obviously the vote was decisive and obviously we'll accept the democratic result of the people's representatives," said Harper. "I don't see reopening this question in the future."
Perhaps Harper should reopen the question. It would please the so-cons, religious nuts and homophobes in his party.
Free vote my a$$. Jackboot Layton whipped the Dippers, Martin whipped his cabinet. Both those scumbags lost good people over it.
The Bloc was also whipped, Harper was the only one to allow the "free" vote
On what planet was the TV you were watching?
-
Hey now, I can't recall the question of the eighties but I clearly recall the HofC voting for the original definition of marriage with an overwhelming majority and that was in 1999.
And the SCof C did not change anything really, they opined and sent it back to the HofC to be voted on.
The piliticians and their so-called "free vote" is what made the change.
Given what I witnessed in that whole fiasco, I say that the jury is way out on the issue of polygamy.

Moral, we won't know for sure until the attack ads surface or the election runup starts. Compass, sure he has, the Convenient Canadian has lived everywhere but here.

Liberals should welcome this strategy by the CPC as it demonstrates and confirms the current desperation in Toryland.
Thought you would have to wait until the next election to write Harper's obituary? This negative campaign will seal his fate as Canadians will not countenance such poliiticing in the context of serious economic dislocation. Tories will offer up smears in answer to continuing tough times.
Harper desperately needs a shakeup of the status quo and is gambling negative ads might turn around his polling numbers. They won't and just like this month's Liberal convention will be a coronation for Ignatieff's leadership, so the next election will be little more than a coronation of Iggy becoming Prime Minister.
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched VC
The Convenient Canadian is an unknown quantity and who knows what's been hid in his closet.
As said, it should be a real dog eat dog fight with Harper pretty well known and CC a mystery.
A coronation, CC's already had his.

How about societal morality?
If a public vote was held today ssm and polygamy may well be rejected by a majority.
I'll admit there are different factors in this, some migrants abhor homosexuality yet practice polygamy. Over time as their population grows we may see outwardly visible reactions to it all.
As to homosexuality, it seems our youth are using the descriptive terms as insults in their arguments/discussions in a most negative way.
Times are a-changing.

I'm dying to see what they've dug up on the Convenient Canadian. Let `er rip folks.
When the election happens it should be one of the most interesting ones in decades.

Whenever Abdelrazik makes it back to Canada all that will be left is to write Abdelrazik a $10M cheque compliments of the taxpayer and arrange for all the psychiatric help he needs.
There's three more Arar clones with their teery eyes and hands out looking for their windfall. He can stand in line behind them

85RZ500,
There are two quotes in this tread (see Greenthumb and jdobbin) addressing one of your postings. Each addresses a different argument, yet they no longer appear in the original post, a post that appears edited some time after the original quotation.
I think everyone here would admit to having at least once having made an ass of themselves in a post, but erasing text that has already been quoted is truly bad form. If you were trying to erase making and ass of yourself, you've only exhibited yourself as a dishonest one.
Take responsibility for what you write or just don't write it.
LOL, I think only one of them responded to the edited comment, but what's your prooblem?
Yeah, I saw a 14yr old with a bag of weed, showing it to a group of young kids, potential customers?
Also came out of a corner store and there was a 4dr Jetta, 4 or 5 yougsters in the car all the windows down.
The smoke was rolling out of the windows and the stench was unmiistakable. I went to write down the plate # but my cell was in my other jacket. In retrospect, I could have called from home and reported them.
-
LOL, this thing goes `round and `round, and I'm starting to like the idea.
As an astute business guy who likes some lovin' thrown in.
A vasectomy is in order, four ladies in tow, all working.
Me I'm sitting back managing the finances and whaddya know, with the four wives there's a good chance that one of them is in the mood.
Lordy, this is great how do we sign up?.
-
Not sure, heard Cannon saying something about judicial process and another Con mumbling something similar.
I like Dewar. the NDP saying let's bring him home.
OK sir, he holds a Sudanese citizenship, he's home already.
-
Yeah, maybe they'll reverse their take on tobacco in general. I'm joking of course tobacco, is a nasty killer according to the politicians, addictive too, I suppose the wacky tabacky isn't. Yep, decriminalize, then legalize, then wow, look at them tax dollars roillin' in.

TORONTO, March 31 (UPI) -- A Pakistani Muslim with two wives has won a second Canadian immigration hearing, this time based on him taking one wife into the country.
The Federal Court of Canada ruled a Canadian visa officer in Pakistan erred by concluding the first hearing for Shaikh Akhtar Hussain by reporting he was in a "peculiar, polygamist family situation," the Toronto Sun reported.
Hussain's Toronto lawyer, Ali Amini, told the Sun his client, a retired banking executive, is willing to first bring his first wife and their six children and then sponsor his second wife months later.
"It is quite common under Muslim laws for a man to have up to four wives," he said, adding Hussain was honest and forthright about having two wives.
Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland told the Sun people involved in polygamous relationships aren't allowed in Canada.
"Polygamy is illegal under the Criminal Code," Kurland said.
However, Amini said if the second hearing is unsuccessful he will file a constitutional appeal citing religious freedom, the report said.

The charter and its freedom of religion supposedly will allow Mr Hussain to break our laws. But it won't protect an individual who refuses to print what his religion deems offensive.
Michael your anology about business is hilarious, this is April 1, right?
But hey, Im sure that we can all conjur up a thought about a business that screws everybody.

Compared to the rest of the possibles he's kind of a breath of fresh air. Some of his ideas are way out there but a time at the reins would temper them down a bit.

Conrad Black saying Harper needs a personality transplant? That a good one, I know Steve is no media hound but He's a real happy-go-lucky dude compared to Black.
