Oh for sure. He'll also have troops in the streets!

That's true Shady, but you would think that knowing something about the constitution may be classified as "experience"? Or maybe being white is all the experience one needs?

Not necessarily. Unless you want our representatives all to be lawyers. I'd rather from all walks of life.

Ah the old shoot the messenger approach.

When the messenger has an agenda, sure.

It's quite easy to fact check the message, especially when you are talking a high profile public figure.

He says a lot of things.

Will believe it when it happens. Iran's idea of "equal" might be a lot different from a Canadian's.

seriously? o_o

Most Canadian's have long since known that. Jeez these conservatives have so much to learn!

He is kind, old and overweight...yeah sounds about right.

"Santa" was a Greek.

Rationalize away however you want.

Par for the course for the LPC. They are far more focussed on saying what they think people want to hear in a campaign, than they are actually following through on the policy.

Mincome is a lot like national daycare in that politically, you need to be able to convince a certain segment of the population that it's still to come, but to keep support from another equally important segment it's also very important not to actually ever do it.

This isn't a vote to implement it. It was a vote on a feasibility study. They Liberals wouldn't even do that, despite their promises.

So would you be happy with a socialist government in power forever?

I'd be happier with a government that is more honest, more respectful of our constitution, and more democratic.

So after how many years of ndp rule would you want them removed from office?

Firing squad is a little old fashioned. I'm sure prison would be more likely.

You're right Hal. Then there's the cost of the bullet. Who would pay for that.

Franken is the best Senator they've got...

Very interesting. I dont hear about him much. I think the GOP could get behind that too. I mean, not Rove but others.

All that matters is that I'm warm.

Regional weather doesn't = global climate. 1 cold year doesn't = climate.

Yep, there are them whut reckon's if it was cold in Hooterville today it dang well musta been cold evrawhere.

spot on!

If a status update gets beyond 10 comments, maybe it should go in a thread? Just a suggestion.

I did some "gzinta's today to figure out how much water/ice it would take to raise the sea level 4 feet. Big numbers and I think I need a beer.

It should be noted these polls have much larger sample sizes too. For example, YouGov polled 36,000 likely voters this time.

Gallup was way out last time, but Rasmussen wasn't. However, the more polls that are in agreement, the more likely it is that their results are not due to a statistical or sampling error.

Yeah. Michael Geist is blowing his lid on Twitter.

no worries - Harper said we're covered!

no full TPP public text to be released... for "weeks"! Now isn't that special?

I've ordered from Amazon.com dozens of times, with some big ticket items. Checked Amazon.ca a few times, but they are always priced higher.

Obama wins easily.

I agree MG. but Chrétien was, by far, the better PM.

A lot of progressive and forward thinking policies happened under JC.

Marriage equality, removing corporate/union influence from political parties to name a couple.

"And so we get this damp recital of past slogans, this parody of a parody of an empty cliché of a speech, this 4,000-word migraine." - Coyne

Ouch.

broken record....?

Pot meet kettle! lol

Hey hey squid. This is the Vicar of Christ we're talking about. From now on, I do what he says, without question.

The NDP in Edmonton have twice had front page ads stating how close they were in a couple of ridings, and to vote for Mulcair even though neither is his riding. The latest ad was a few days ago. The polls they cite are from mid August and mid Septemeber.

Did the look like Elections Canada announcements?

Everyone knows that science is a tool invented by elitists to confuse the public so they keep taking their suicide and mass murder pills!!

Pills don't work. Prayer and exorcism are the best medicine....

Nice going AC, you blew the world secret >

Man oh man, after the winter the east coast went through and now this!

The combined efforts of Maine Hydro, Hydro Quebec, and NB Power got us back up and running 75 hours from when our power first went out. My fridge and freezer are disasters.

And let me guess, you probably just stocked both up.

I like how the Harper crowds boo the media when they ask difficult or uncomfortable questions...

These people really don't care about truth...

They do more than boo the media at times as well.

You POS are LIARS!
