  1. I don't seem to recall the Chretien Libs campaigning on senate reform, nor do I seem to recall saying it wasn't tokenism. Unsurprising that a right winger would miss the point.
  2. Welcome to the tribal mentality of the far right. These are people who view everything as "us versus them" type situation. If they were to appoint someone from another party that would be conceding that said party is in some way legitimate. All in all this is just another example of how the right has no real principles. Whats bad is bad only when someone they don't like does it.
  3. While it's an interesting search mission, I'd hardly call it scientific.
  4. Embridge strikes again, ~200 000 liters of crude bitumen from a pipeline in Wisconsin. Knowing their reputation for under reporting I'd not be surprised if the spill a couple of orders of magnitude larger. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/07/28/enbridge-wisconsin-spill-pipeline-closed.html Canadians should take any and all actions necessary to stop Alberta from steamrolling this pipeline across our country.
  5. Here's a good example of how the current soviet style system works. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/News/Canada/6468334/story.html
  6. I think parks staff should call the cons bluff. Should the cons try to fire them they'd have a good case for wrongful dismissal.
  7. Well that's your opinion, but I feel much safer knowing our brave men and women are oversees gunning down brown people who likely couldn't spot Canada on a map. /sarcasm
  8. Leave it to Harper to try and exploit a gruesome murder in order to force his internet spying bill on Canadians. The Harper conservatives, new lows can and will be reached.
  9. Nothing like listening baby boomers whine about the "entitlement mindset".
  10. Seems kinda pointless to have another long divisive debate about banning a practice that already does not occur. Seems more like regulation for the sake of regulation. Also obligatory "No Hidden Agenda"
  11. I'm sure if the jobs offered reasonable benefits and wages Canadians wouldn't be turning them down.
  12. Of that there is no doubt. Unfortunately the ideologues of the conservative party rarely, if ever, have let data or facts stand in their way.
  13. He likely means that the war hasn't been aggressive enough. I look forward to harper declaring 'total war' on drugs.
  14. Absolutely. After all if your America/China/Russia what going to intimidate you more, the conventional Canadian military or the nuclearly armed Canadian military?
  15. I vote based on the past actions/statements of a party and their members.
  16. I think it's past time we stripped these special rights from "natives". Chretien had the right idea with his white paper, it's a shame it was abandoned.
  17. Indeed, the system in this country is far to lax when it comes to irresponsible gun owners. The entire system needs to be overhauled and made much more stringent imo.
  18. What was your major in undergrad? If you don't mind me asking.
  19. I give out a big thanks for the boomers, destroying the west for over 50 years.
