err

While I do think the Greens' voices should be heard, the Bloc will almost definitely be the official opposition, and hence, has to be heard....

Considering that Harper wouldn't even shake Duceppe's hand at the second debate, this is rather interesting. I wonder if the stategy is to gain sympathy after Duceppe pummels him.....

Somebody needs to "get their attention"... good for Martin...

I'd be careful what you'd say... Martin may have learned from Mulroney, when Mulroney was going to be investigated for the huge airbus scandal, he just sued the Canadain government for $50 Million for slander... and they shut up...

Like who... homosexuals, women (at least those who need/want abortions), people with children (who want daycare), or people who just want to smoke some good God-grown grass....

So both the CPC and Liberals.... ...

I would tend to think that 138 years of the same thing, by definition, would make that thing "the norm".... Perhaps it is you that is "abnormal"

Then why the big scare campaign? The Liberals aren't running against Conservative policies, which, as you say, nobody wants. CPC party policies... not to be confused with Progressive Conservative. At least the PC party was socially liberal, with no demonstrable discrimination against homosexuals, women who want abortions, or Bubber's favourite pot smokers.... Sorry, I've been trying to figure out just how your response is in ANY way related to anything which came before. It doesn't appear there is any such relationship. So what is it you're trying to say and why are you saying it here? First, look at the inside quote, and their responses.... (hint) The CPC party and their policies are totally different from the Progressive Conservative party. Was Harper the number two man in Mulroney's government for 12 years, deputy prime minister, VP of treasury? No? Then stupid question. The Martin government is not the same thing as the Cretien government. In fact, Cretien didn't personally get along well with Martin, but kept him as finance minister because Martin was capable of "fixing the deficit" and other financial woes inherited from the previous PC government... From all accounts, Gomery particularly exonerated Martin because it was made clear that Cretien wouldn't allow Martin near the program....

What happened to the pacticality of keeping your fellow Canadian employed as you have stated so many times about union people needing to make a decent living too. What happened to you brother? I find it offensive that you should call me a "brother"... see above for what I called you.... The term "Dipper" is offensive.... as are you. The name is "New Democrat". You show as much respect and tolerance as your leader.... Most days, I only drive one car at a time....

I hate to burst your bubble August, but you got a form letter....

So if you accept any of the above as true (which it is), you'd have to be a moron to vote for him.......

That's quite a statement for a devout NDPer to make. A Dipper not supporting a union? What would your union brothers and sisters think?....I suppose you drive a foreign car... A Dipper not supporting a union.... how about a Dork who cant understand practicalities.... PS. One of my cars is American.

You miss the point: the issue is whether the opposition offers policies that people want or whether it offers policies that appeal to a minority of people and expects the rest to vote for them simply because they have not had the opportunity to be corrupt.That why people are still voting for the Liberals: they want a party that provides the same policies without the corruption. Then why the big scare campaign? The Liberals aren't running against Conservative policies, which, as you say, nobody wants. CPC party policies... not to be confused with Progressive Conservative. At least the PC party was socially liberal, with no demonstrable discrimination against homosexuals, women who want abortions, or Bubber's favourite pot smokers.... And I require more from my prime minister than the fact he can't be put in prison. Martin knew, and if he didn't know, he should have known. Am I just confused, or did Gomery not praise Paul Martin in his first report...... stating that Martin was completely exonerated, that he had no access to the sponsorship program, and for his efforts to unroot those involved in the scandal....Personally, I am not a fan of Paul Martin, but see you CPC types tarring Martin with the Cretien Liberal's brush.... Should we be blaming Harper for the GST ??? ... just because Mulroney, the leader of the last government with the word "Conservative" in their party name put the GST in....

And you would prefer the rape and brutalization option ????

Yaro: Outstanding reply.... ???

I understood that it was the forestry industry that was one of the big pushers to have pot criminalized.... to prevent the production of commercial hemp for paper.... even though the variation of the hemp plant used for paper production is low in THC, it looks looks just like the "good plant"....

(sorrry for previous... morning coffee not consumed yet) And wouldn't you think it could be an important strategy not to be seen to be guilty of petty finger-pointing themselves, but rather let other people do it .... ... and if the "other people" didn't do it (or notice it), all they need is to have a few "friends" post info about it on a few sites like this....

It shows a deep lack of respect for someone he was in bed with just last month.... I think is shows his untrustworthyness very well.... Wow, that's a broad group, naming orthogonal sets of people who won't vote for Harper.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for providing an example.Simple question: if this was such a big faux-pas by Harper, why haven't any of Harper's opponents tried to take advantage? If it was a mistake by Harper, wouldn't his opponents be quick to capitalize on it? I'm pretty sure that the Liberal campaign strategists have a better grasp on what will score points with voters than you or I. So I'll tell you what. If Martin starts talking about this event during his speeches, or if the Liberals use this in their advertising, then I'll say "Wow, I guess you were right, err." -k <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My, what big eyes you have Mr. Harper.... and what big teeth....

Most of the chemical weapons given to Saddam by the United States of America were spent on Iran, when Saddam was the USA's agent in the middle east. There were no nuclear weapons, nor any potential for them... and the USA knew this well... You just have to ask yourself... If Saddam had these, why didn't he use any such weapons to defend his country ????? Maybe he was too busy hiding his weapons to defend against the invading forces.... The Shah of Iran... the same one installed by the USA after they helped in a coup to get rid of the democratically elected Massedegh governement in Iran ???

Talk about a disgusting scumbag.... Brian Muroney, because there was rumour of an investigation into his involvment in the Airbus scandal, sued the Canadian government ..... there's love of country....

Well... it is in all Canadians' benefit to ensure that the CPC party doesn't get in, so what do you suggest... a Layton majority government ????

The quote above should be attributed to me.... and the statement was made with more than a smidgen of sarcasm.....

Excellent post... That would be hilarious.... I think we'd be looking at Iraq III.

I think that both the Liberals and NDP are talking about fixing the public system. However, it should be important to note that the reason we are having this election now, the reason that Layton broke off ties with the Liberals, is that the Liberals wouldn't guarantee to support only the public system. Of the $40 Billion recently promised to the provinces to reduce wait times, something like 30 percent is earmarked for private health care firms. This funding could go a long way to make our non-profit public health-care system a lot better.... Some of the systematic problems are leaks in the boat... where public money is pouring into private hands for profit... And when it's going into a private pocket, its not buying health care.... Where the CPC ideology of giving the money to private companies for private profits that will be spent on .... boats, cottages, ski chalets... not to mention beer and popcorn..... or would it be Scotch and smoked salmon ....
