  1. Like always, this view omits the main point: the Left is targeting first and foremost polluters.
  2. Workfare is indeed a right-wing idea.
  3. There are other political options.
  4. Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre has been named on this panel! Recall that the same day when Harper made official apologies to natives, this arrogant man was saying Canada's aboriginals need to learn the value of hard work more than they need compensation for abuse suffered in residential schools. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...0612?hub=Canada
  5. I have found it; it is Intelivote with only one l: http://www.intelivote.com/
  6. Intellivote, the company, doesn't seem to have a webpage!
  7. One of the three core beliefs of the Pirate Party is that patents and private monopolies are harmful to society. To me, I don't think free riders are more artistically and intellectually creative than people who expect money in exchange of their time and research efforts.
  8. So it seems some are enthusiastic about online voting and some others, distrustful of this method. The question become will the enthusiastic be able to convince enough skeptics. We have to remember also that a scam can destroy rapidly the credibility of a voting method and the reputation of its promoters. I think a people have already to believe a lot in itself to be persuaded that possible cheaters can be stopped before causing harm to democracy.
  9. To me, right now voting is the most important public gesture a citizen is doing. In the future, I would like to see wide public debate participation as an even more important political gesture still. But for now, I think we have to be proud of the people that are willing to associate their face, and even their fingerprints, to their name in front of some witnesses watching each others and having an eye on trickery.
  10. What I find reassuring about on-site voting is that, although we don't see for whom a citizen votes, we can still somewhat see that he is not taking a picture of himself making a cross on a candidate and thereafter, secretly, show this picture to someone ready to buy votes for this candidate.
  11. One more pitiful post to report for the good of this forum.
  12. Like if your copyright laws were applicable in China!
  13. I reported these personal attacks.
  14. I reported these personal attacks.
  15. Heavy past polluters have more than explaining to do before pointing their dirty finger at China.
  16. Because the West owes its technology in part to its past pollution.
  17. China puts these plants on the negotiation table to get some (technological) transfers from the West.
  18. Not so much dedication and courage are necessary to operate the little change that marijuana fans wish for.
  19. You cannot use Jesus to highlight your paranoia because he came to liberate us from such evils.
