Battletoads

Well voters forget... For instance the last Tory majority 'did serious harm to Canada', and yet voters are flirting with another majority.

Ironic that the right wing, the party that pretend to champion 'individual freedoms', does not.

High voter turnout is bad for the cons. To paraphrase Harper 'We don't need more votes, they need fewer'

whether the Reform Party Conservative Party deserve a majority.

I have a feeling that would play right into the NDPs hands...

We can always hope the 'Orange Crush' put Maartman ahead of him... Still she would have to jump ~20% from last election.

What does the average joe have to fear about constant government surveillance of their every online motion? Do I really need to answer that?

I'd tend to agree.

The fact that other molecules can absorbs IR radiation as well or better than carbon dioxide is neither a new or shocking concept. in fact its been known for decades... in fact theirs and entire spectroscopic discipline dedicated to using the strong IR absorbances generated by polar-covalent bonds to study molecules... Why do the wingnuts act as if this is some big secret?

I don't give a shit, but its going to be the big ticket item for the net little while.

With the upcoming Royal wedding set to dominate the air waves I doubt there's going to be much shift over the next few days. In other words I concur.

It does...

There's nothing wrong with freetrade... but only between democratic first world countries.

I'm sure he can get his old job back in the field of economics... Oh wait he has never has a job it that field At the very least I expect him to go back to being a right wing nut.

Feel free to look it em up, bill C-50, C-51 and C-52, which are part of the conservatives crime legislation that they plan to pass within 100 days if give a majority. Heres a link to Michael Geist's opinion on the matter, an expert in the field of Canadian e-law.

I'm going to have to stop reading polls, I may be disappointed on election night... However the NDP's biggest problem, the vote liberal or else threat may be nullified. Hell the NDP may be able to pull the 'Vote NDP or else' card out of their hat if this pole is true. Heh I wonder if those Cons will continue to cheer on the NDP now

As most know the Conservative party has promised to pass their draconian anti-crime bill within 100 days if given a majority. You can read the full platform here In this crime bill the conservatives have tacked on numerous pieces of digital legislation, which they say are designed to curb digital crime. In reality these pieces of legislation seem to be designed to curtail any online freedoms and privacy Canadians currently enjoy. The first major piece digital legislation in this bill mandates that internet providers must hand over user information to authorities upon request. Such information includes your name, your email address, the web pages you visit, your ip address, and your device identification numbers. No warrant or legal process is needed to procure this information, it is simply requested and the internet provider must under this legislation comply. The second major component of this legislation mandates that internet providers must rework their networks to allow for the real time surveillance of users. Such surveillance would include the ability to intercept communications between individuals, and communication between individuals and web servers. Again no legal process would be required to implement such surveillance. The third and final component of this legislation states that authorities can issue a preservation order which would require that internet providers hold onto user information for up to 90 days. This bill seems more like something that would come out of a Communist country rather than Canada. In fact this reminds me of how the Soviets would steam open the mail of their citizens. So why is it that the Cons are planning to pass this sovietesque bill that places Canada's digital future in jeopardy?

Funny that Bush and his gang popularized 'climate change' as a way to make global warming sound less threatening. oh and, Global warming is real, it is happening, and it is man made. I'd present some scientific data, but you wouldn't understand it.

Limitation of power hasn't stopped him before.

I doubt even a bloc lead coalition could do as much damage as a Harper majority.

Essentially money to help muslims impose their bullshit laws on us. Hell I'm sure the cons will be all for it if it helps them win.

That those 5 people pay far, far more than they would in the public system. If you think otherwise you must be smoking some bad granola. Plus the staff at the private clinic likely would have been leached out of the public system.

Most people against abortion don't can't think that far ahead (or remember that far back)

The Cons, against government interference... Unless it enforces their vast number of backwards social beliefs.

Well, here's hoping the catch the conservative fuck who has been doing this. Seems the Conservative will try anything win this election, the law be damned.
