Well sounds like a good torry, the weather isn't changing its always been like this we just didn't hear about the storms OR AT LEAST THATS WHAT ONE OF MY conservative friends claims

Ford is at it again calling the liberals a bunch of crooks, pot calling the kettle black I guess

Harper is happy to have a future sovereign of Canada or so he days

After cutting disaster relief by 25% what do you think Harper is trying to achieve, is he intent on breaking up Canada? His obvious treatment of the provinces must have some plan.

I never understood why Harper championed people such as Fantino, he is a very sociopathic personality.

Too many Scots still live in the clan mentality. My people, low land scots were very good at going with the winning side,

This is a good example of how brain washed reform conservatives are, apparently some are not, I wonder how Harper will clean up the mess he has made and yes he is a control freak and is responsible for what was done to Garneau.

Oh yes wilde bill I have read the randite philosophy, and I do not agree that we as individuals should do as we please with no concern for others rights. And in my view that is what she preached.

So who do you think will get the post that regulates things such as rail safetly

The bottom line to all this is the randite belief that the common man is something to be tossed aside be he white, black or any other colour. The people smart enough and lucky enough to get in a position such as ALEC in the US and the Fraser Institute in Canada are entitled to own everything and crush the people who do not. However it may be coming to an end because how can you continue to make the big bucks when no one can afford to buy your product.

I guess the main question is what exactly are we entitled to in life. I had a lady come in for food, she just needed one time help because she had just bought a house in our area, houses are pretty cheap here compared to other places, one can buy a good house for a little over $100,000. Then she found that although she had worked for one company for years that the pension she had paid into and the shares she had bought in the company were all gone. The company had gone bankrupt. So what would you have done. She was completely on her own. She was of my generation where you got a good job for life, much like the thousands who worked for Kodak and lost everything. When the car companies went into slow down they laid off thousands and yes they are doing better but they are only employing a percentage of those thousands. Sitting in the seat of judgement is very easy when you had the luck to pick the right company to work for

what a bunch of complainers

Does anyone on here know what ALEC is? Google it and find its American description, then look for the Canadian Connection. This might explain some of the odd things on here such as the denial that the floods in Alberta are just an ordinary event and nothing to be worried about.

Just like a lot of other stupid arguments on here.We don't need laws re zoning that would stop floods, we don't need laws that protect ordinary man and give him a decent wage, we don't need laws to protect us from the greed of the big companies and their share holders. Kick the little man down and keep him there, don't allow unions this just makes him to uppidy for his own good.

Just came back from a drive down a road not far from us. This is a dead end road because a big river makes a big U in our area. Back before our township had planning laws, bunch of farmers thought they weren't needed, a gentleman from Toronto bought a huge swamp in this U. He proceeded to sell off lots and the township could do nothing. But we have a group who did everything to stop the planning. Back off Government this is our land, ever see those signs. Its called grandfathering and this spring some of those mansions built down in the flood plain were under several metres of water. This is the kind of stupidity that goes on all the time.
