The 2002 G8 summit hosted in Kananaskis cost us 300 million, now i dont agree with holding the summit in a big city, but, considering this summit was much larger the money spent doesn't seem out of line with the 2002 summit, so where are the complaints about that one?

I am wondering, what is the motivation for wanting to rehabilitate a violent criminal? Murder being the ultimate in violent offenses, after having crossed that line, why would we ever want to give that individual another chance? At some point I don't care what your childhood was like, or how hard done you were by the system, there are no doubt many, many more people who came from similar circumstances that did not turn out like the murderer. Why is it that some of you have this need to fix that poor guy who only killed his wife because he grew up in an alcoholic family, parents who grew up in the residential school system and never raised him right..why does it matter? At the end of the day he is a murderer and much more likely to do something violent or murder someone again than the rest of us are, that is reason enough to keep that person behind bars, it is a simple, basic reality. Yes, simple drug offenses, or theft should not put you away for 20 years, but for the worse crimes the other 7 billion of us can carry on the human race without your child molesting, raping, murdering asses.

It's nice that you think that, good for you, but so what? There is no proof that we are responsible or even if a climate change is occurring, plenty of theories, lots of data, but no real proof.

It is a sad commentary on society that she gets paid for what she does, there was a time when she would have been simply told to shut up, and rightfully so, no we have to just accept her as having a opinion instead of calling her for what she is.

It's strange how for years we have been told that the registry is a small issue for most people, but now it's the only reason the conservatives won. Don't you ever get tired of being stupid?

Grow up, or get help.

Hey look, a moron.

Its strange though, I didn't here the NDP leader lamenting the conservative majority and the inevitable implementation of the evil agenda, instead he seemed fairly pleased with the result, but we already know from 'mastergate' that Jack says one thing and does something else. The NDP self serving?...nah.

They are missing your spam on Rabble North Report, strange how you're ashamed to use the same name here.

Is that happy Jack or Simple Jack? And yes, this idea that you need to be a nice guy to be PM or that Canadians need to be 'nice' is just idiotic.

Ahh..So Alberta could maybe have lower tax rates if they weren't subsidizing other parts of the country, that is sort of the point.

Go back to rabble north report, I mean Harry.

Hey Harry why didn't you use the same name you used on babble, it would be easier to know which posts not to read. You're 'north report' is repetitive.

Do you believe the hosreshit you write? You actually believe that we have a free market? So tell me, why is it that 15 years ago we had only a couple of options in phone service providers? Why is it that now we have dozens and the cost of long distance is a mere fraction of what it was when the cost of everything else in the world has gone up? It sure as hell wasn't because bell wanted it this way, the governement forced them into allowing other companies to use thier lines, monopoloies are bad for consumers. We have nearly the same situation now, o but wait, secondary isp's are allowed to resell bandwidth to consumers at less than monopolistic rates, this allows consumers to utilize the internet for things that may, heaven forbid, compete with the primary isp's other businesses. Well they can't have that now can they, so, they go to the crtc, make up a problem of bandwidth, which at this point doesn't exist, and the crtc buys it, handing out a ruling that effectively reverts the free market to what it was when bell was the only show in town for phone service, yea, thats the FREE market all right. It has been said many times here and elsewhere for anyone with the tiniest bit of intelligence to read and understand, Canada has poor internet services relative to our economic standing and some of the highest prices in the world for our communication services. A service that was heavily subsidized by government no less, but you think that we should pay 10's of times, in some cases 30 or 40 times the actual price of data delivery just so bell doesn't have to compete with netflix. I am absolutely fine with UBB, so long as it works the same way that long distance does now, in fact seeing as a lot of my long distance is free for a flat rate of about 20 bucks a month I would even take 20 dollar for 20 gigs and then pay a 300% markup of 10 cents per gig to bell, seems like a fair price. That would give me 120 gigs for 30 bucks, which is about half the price and double the cap i have now, effectively cutting my bill by about 75%, which ironically is similiar to what a lot of secondary ip's charge. Im a pretty conservative person on some issues, breaking this argument down to a socialism vs capitalism argument is pathetic, this isn't socialism, its highway robbery, legalised for now.

I completely understand the desire of people to reduce unnecessary deaths. What doesn't make sense is a fixation with what is statistically an unlikely way to be killed, so is it that some really want to help society or is it simply a disguise for social engineering? Why is it that the same people who are anti gun aren't lobbying the government to ban alcohol? More people are killed in this country as a result of drinking than are killed with firearms, additionally i would be willing to bet there are more multiple death car accidents as a result of drinking than there are multiple homicides from a single use of a firearm. So where is the outrage? Then again prohibition doesn't work, and judging from the increasing rate of handgun homicides neither does a registry, no doubt a ban of those weapons would convince those who didn't register and those bent on murder to turn those guns in. Honestly, the anti gun argument is so tired, you don't like guns, you are afraid of guns, you think hunting is cruel, you think men who like to shoot/hunt are neanderthals or compensating for small penises etc etc etc, who cares, its your right to think silly thoughts, but really, if you want to argue something about guns beyond the emo standards at least try to be rational. There are and have been for years many seniors who own firearms, and statistically speaking, the haven't been on a rampage, if we were to look at say, immigrant, poc, in our larger cities, who are responsible for a large portion of the handgun crime you would no doubt blame those senior gun owners (mostly white) for treating them badly and forcing them to a life of crime. The leftist charade this country has been suffering through is so played.

Well there are a significant number of women out there that are exactly that, the problem arises when those women still get to get custody of the kids, get alimony payments and the husband who loves his kids and would want them gets to pay out the nose. If i got divorced i would likely be broke, my child support payments alone would be well over 1k/month, now, i don't know about most people, but my kids do not cost me that much per month, not even close. Add in alimony and it would be impossible, if i sold everything we owned and lived in a tiny apartment maybe i would have money for food. But wait, if the kids lived with me i wouldn't have to pay child support, i could keep my house and afford to eat, but hey, the kids almost always end up with their mother no matter how good of a father you are. Most fathers love their children and want to take care of them, i have 3 male friends who have been divorced recently, all 3 support and spend as much time as they can with their children, none of them are bad people. Their wives cheated or plain old didn't want to be married anymore but they still got the kids and still get paid for it. The only divorced woman i know is far from being a model mother moving from one guy to the next and seems incapable of being a good mother, but of course, the kid lives with her.

How anyone could ever want to give a second chance to a rapist and a murderer is unthinkable to me, why are you so weak? We don't need those people in our society, lock them up forever and give them the option of ending it, that is more humane than giving them the chance to kill again. Criminals do have a pattern of re-offending if a car thief steals again I can live with that, if a murderer kills again the victim certainly can't live with it. But it seems some of you are willing to take that chance with the lives of innocent people so a monster can get his second chance, cry me a river.

We don't need a death penalty, we need appropriate punishment. No, 25 years isn't a long time compared to the eternity that is death. A life taken deserves a life taken, no person convicted of murder should ever have a chance at life again, why would we want that sort of person in our society? They had their chance, they blew it, done. There are 7 billion more of us, life will go on without them, of course there are different types of murders and murderers, but cold blooded killers should not ever have any chance at parole. I would be fine with an option of death given to such killers, knowing they had no chance of leaving prison some would likely accept it. This isn't about revenge, it is simple logic, if you kill someone in cold blood you have crossed a line that most of us would not, we simply do not need people like that in society and have no real reason to give them any chance at doing it again.

Well, i could tell you all about how the chiefs of police association accepted donations from the company that built the overpriced computer network that the registry ran on, or show you proof that the toronto police department used tax payer money to lobby the government against gun owners, and prove how closely they work with the coalition for gun control and in turn how closely it works with IANSA the goals of which are to BAN all firearms, and then there are now the numerous incidents where that same police force has lied and or trampled on peoples rights, and no doubt prove that the vast majority of the leaders of these police groups have very tight connections to former and current liberal politicos. BUT, idiots don't listen

This country is screwed.

Vile, condescending, rubbish.

my god your pathetic

Forget it, it's beyond you.

feget it
