Exactly why the "fixed election date enacted by the Saskatchewan Party(read provincial Tories) is such a bad idea. Everything is pure partisanship for four years.

Harper's resolute on ending mission in Afghanistan

Neither profound nor rediculous. Perhaps a bit extreme, but going in the right direction -

Religion has no place in politics!
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Uncle 3 dogs's topic in Religion & Politics
While I would welcome it, we don't need athiests to be a majority to have politics be secular,ie: not connected in any way to religion. -
Should Parliament elect a Cabinet?
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Machjo's topic in Federal Politics in Canada

No good can come from mixing the two. A politician's religion should be as irrellevant as his or her sexual orientation. Neither personalcharacteristic should have any effect on their performance. At least, if we expect that it will be true in the end. Once people start voting based on these irrellevant characteristics they will become relevant and we will live in a theocracy. NO! NO! We should remove public support for religious schools and remove any reference to god in any of our laws, including the constitution. Churches should be taxed like any other business.

Should Parliament elect a Cabinet?
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Machjo's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
NO! I want to elect the government and cabinet. That is what I do now because I only theoretically vote for my individual MP. In fact, I vote for theperson in my riding who represents the party i believe has the best platform so,in effect, I vote for a government and cabinet. I don't need any proxy (MP) to do that for me. Parties are necessary for this system to work. Without parties we don't know what we are voting for because no individual MP can deliver on any broad range of policies. -
Federal Employees monitoring internet forums

I have no problem with party members doing it, but I do object to people on the taxpayers payroll doing it at work. -

Is your MP an independent thinker or a party hack?
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Machjo's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
In all other professions we value experience. Why do you want, apparently, only single term amateurs in parliament? -
Oh no! What about those of us who like a glass of wine with our dope?

Who exactly Advises Michael Ignatieff?
Uncle 3 dogs replied to fellowtraveller's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Anything to avoid that hideous carbon tax.and some of us even voted Conservative just because none of the other "alternatives" are at all realistic. -

Maternal Healthcare and funding for Abortions
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Keepitsimple's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Iam just as happy as anyone else to point out American hypocracy, but it can cut both ways. Just because it's Hillary saying it doesn't mean it's not valid. It is very unreasonable and hypocritical of our government to try to deny access to safe abortions to those women who require assistance in other countries. -
Winnipeg to get new football stadium for Bombers
Uncle 3 dogs replied to Smallc's topic in Local Politics in Canada
The Bombers have replaced their coach& GM so the football should no longer be second rate and the stadium will be a huge improvement. -
Lesbian teacher told to work from home
Uncle 3 dogs replied to a topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
There's no story here. She was contracted to fill in for a teacher on maternity leave, then she asked for maternity leave. She was told to "work from home", so, she is essentially getting what she asked for. She is still getting paid, but should not be since she isn't fulfilling her contract.
