So is that your definition of a socialist? Funny, after all this time, and after all the times I've asked, you've never actually answered the question of what is a socialist.

Elections are won or lost during the writ. Martin was up before 2006. Having only around 33% of support as a government with 15-20% of the voting electorate undecided isn't a good thing to be heading into an election with as a sitting government.

Did they kill the legislation? Yeah, that's what I thought. Just because it's in there doesn't mean it's a good idea. Senators have agreed with me for what, 80 years?

the NDP did, now they just support an abolition of the Senate. I don't and neither do the Liberals. Also, I never said that I expected them to get an elected senate. They never will and they should know that by now. My only point was that Stephen Harper specifically promised never to appoint any unelected senators. He has. Despite the fact that he can't get an elected senate, he could at least keep his symbolic promise. Then again, he doesn't have any morals so why should anyone expect the CPC to keep any promise they ever made, even when they literally have to do NOTHING to keep it. Easiest type of promise TO keep and they still failed to keep it. What a bunch of losers. I can't believe the level of stupidity of some morons who get sucked into believing this ideological bullshit. Well, I can understand how they bought in to begin with. After 5 years of doing pretty much exactly the opposite of what they've promised, I can't understand how people still trust this government. I just can't.

Every one of your posts indicates that. No, the problem is that they're killing bills. I don't think anyone would care if the senate just sent back recommendations as has been tradition for the past, oh, 80 years. They haven't though. They've killed 2 pieces of legislation as passed by an elected body. I do think that's undemocratic. It hasn't happened in ages. The Liberals never killed any piece of legislation while the CPC has been in government, at least in the last 40 years. See, this is why you're a tool. You yell at me for lacking the knowledge of definition yet you know neither the definition of a socialist or classical liberal. Also, hilariously, you're too stupid to realize that you're doing the same thing to me as you're accusing me of doing to you since you had the gall of (however wrongly) calling me a socialist. Ahahaha. Every new generation is the worst generation. The Human Race seems to be moving along fine. Is this supposed to be insightful?

Huh? All I ever claimed is that the CPC are hypocrites. They support an elected senate. Except when it benefits them. Just like pretty much every other policy they've rolled over on.

No new taxes, eh?

You're a tool. Yet another CPC playing card. If someone disagrees with you in debate, act as if they're trying to censor you. I wish people were smart enough to realize there's a difference.

I'm not the hypocritical one here. I didn't make a promise about not appointing even 1 unelected senator and then destroyed it with the largest patronage appointment in Canadian history. (kind of like no deficits smashed with the largest deficit in Canadian history) Then again, Conservatives don't really care about their professed ideology so it clearly doesn't matter as you've shown above. The CPC is all about tough talk and no action.

Hahaha lifestyle. Because living paycheque to paycheque and still not making ends meet is a lifestyle.

Of course I know what sodomy means. However, let's not pretend that laws against sodomy aren't laws to criminalize homosexuality. I wonder how many straight couples have been discharged for the crime of sodomy.

Yup, but like I said above, regular forms of sexual conduct are allowed....if you're straight.

So where does it say that it's not allowed for heterosexuals to be married? It says that for homosexuals. Furthermore, acting as if there's no difference in standards between straights and gays is hilarious, and again, a confession of being in denial. Certainly there are restrictions on some forms of sexual conduct and rightly so. Tell me where the UCMJ banned all forms of heterosexuality and then I'll agree that it's not about being gay.

See, that's where you're wrong. No where does it say heterosexual conduct is the same as homosexual conduct. So it is very much about being gay. Anything else is complete and utter denial.

With every appointment, the hypocrisy grows.

Exactly. So tell me why gays shouldn't be allowed to serve?

This may shock conservative types who don't like to talk about it lest they infect their ears with cooties that hurt the baby jesus...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut: Human beings are sexual beings. Healthy human beings engage in sexual behaviour. Sex has many, many, many health benefits. Not surprisingly this involves both gay and straight people. To make people hide relationships and behaviour that is completed tolerated by other members of the same organization for the simple reason that they're straight instead of gay for fear of losing their job is forcing people to live a lie whether they have to check it off on a piece of paper or not.

No, it's the desire to be able to be a better citizen to your nation by wanting to serve while not having to lie about who you really are. That's nationalism in itself. If you hadn't noticed, yes the Army does identify people by sexual preference. If you're outed, you're out of the military yourself. If sexual preference doesn't matter at all as you've said, why is this a bad thing? I guess you'd say the same thing about the desegregation of the US military. Man, those black people really hated America because god forbid they not want to serve in segregated units.

It's just the fact that no one likes to pay taxes.

Interestingly to counter Army Guy's link, DND didn't come up with any requirements about what the plane should do until 2010. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/technology/Selling+Canada+need+fighters/3964588/story.html#ixzz182rmarWD

Having requirements is all fine and good, but this plane only theoretically meets them. The CNN article above makes it clear there is serious problems with the program.

The best leaders are always polarising. Funny, he's still chosen as the best PM in Canadian history.

February 9th, 2010 eh? I guess you didn't get the memo that Toronto ran a 250 million dollar surplus for this fiscal year.

It's also running half billion dollar deficits. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2010/07/08/montreal-deficit.html

So?
