  1. Ha Ha NO
  2. But World War 2 was a REAL war.
  3. Sarcastism really helps.
  4. It's too late now. But the wounds from this spit-spat with US and Frnace will not heal for a thousand years.
  5. I can't believe that this is already my 400th post.
  6. Being Conservative is like being an economist.
  7. Daniel, I would appericate if you stop connecting me with Mike Harris. I'm a Conservative, but I don't believe in cut, cut, cut all the time.
  8. So, Jway, you don't think Canada be involved with the exploration of space? We need to get our part to space. We have the Canadarm, and we should build and give more.
  9. Ba-zing, I'm not sounding like a socialist. It's just Common Sense. If two people are working, one man and one woman, they should get the equal amount of pay. Women can't be secetaries forever.
  10. The only reason the NDP won in Ontario in 1990, was because the people had no other party to vote for. People didn't likethe Liberals, and they didn't know anything abou the Conservatives. Mike Harris had just been elected leader a few months before. ANd he didn't have much of a message. I'm sure that Ontario will never elect a NDP majority government again. Which is good.
  11. Mulroney didn't quit at mid term, he quit in 93. the maximum limit of his term. Harris got tired.
  12. I bet you fifty dollars and a box of doughnuts if you took a poll in Ontario, on who was the better premier of the two. Harris would win, by 5% at least.
  13. I talked to some Americans when I was in Washington, and they are still mad at us for not joining the Iraq war. We Canadians respect ourselves, but we aren't screaming out with patriotism, like the Americans. We are self-confident, and reserved.
  14. The NDP would have kept the taxes high anyway, if the economy was growing. If the taxes were higher, people wouldn't have spend like they did. With the tax cuts, there was more growth in the economy.
  15. Canadians should learn the language of the majority of people in their province.
  16. He cut taxes, to kick start the economy. Without the tax cuts, the economy wouldn't have done so well. In 1994, the economy was growing at 5% before the high taxes, high interest rates and bg defeicit, slowed it to 2%. In 1996, the economy was increasng at more than 5% per year.
  17. TV is one of the utlimate source of information compared to newspapers. TV can get you news now, compared newspapers which takes a day.
  18. To fight the lost of doctors in the country, I think the pronvicial government should pay all tuition fees for anyone who taking medical/health courses.
  19. And connecting the dots in kids books.
  20. Maybe they haven't thought about using it, they are busy too. They aren't sitting on their bums, eating bananas all day.
  21. FTA didn't cause the recession, the whole world was going into recession. It wouldn't have mattered if we signed that deal or not. Canada would have gone into recession anyway.
  22. Daniel, if you weren't so self centred, you would have noticed that the whole world was in a big recession, not just Canada. If the Tory government left Ontario it such a mess, the NDP did worse. The NDP fired alot of people from nuclear plants in Ontario Hydro, and put inexperienced people working at the nuclear plants. The NDP would in a law that banned companies to get replacement workers during a strike. The company can't do what ever it wants during a strike, the government shouldn't tell them what to do. Plus, the NDP sent money it didn't have. They were already going into deficit in 89. But the deficit was small (about 2 billion I think) before Rae took over. SO maybe a deficit would have been unavoidable, but it doesn't have to be 11 BILLION dollars. And besides, people don't want their money forcefully taken away from them. With tax cuts the money gets recycled.
  23. Right......... That government spent it's way into a huge deficit in the great recession of the early 90s. It's easier to stay out of a hole, than digging youselves out of one.
  24. Walkerton was an accident. SARS was an accident. The government helped get the economy back on track, with its tax cuts.
  25. Mike also fought for more provincal rights, and was a helper in the Calgary Health Accord.
