  1. Every 3 to 4 days between 2005 and 2012 an African American was killed by a white cop. African Americans are three times as likely to be shot by the police in the US than white people. But don't worry. Racism is over, guys.

      I fail to see how your response is relevant given the question I asked. Did you not understand my question perhaps? I specifically asked about shootings, not Homicides. Further to that I really don't believe any person has killed thousands in Toronto. As such I would say your response is undisputably meaningless hyperbole.

      Full power to the strawman Angus! You keep pushing your strawman, hold it up high for everyone to see, then exclaim, "Behold everyone, the debate is now about what I present to you! Everything else that anyone may bring forward to the debate has no relevance! Therefore, I am right!"

      Now you have me laughing. You talk about strawmen right after you post some hypothetical nonsense about killing thousands and being heralded a hero! Do you actually read what you post? Your original statement was a strawman of such epic proportions that you hands down win the irrelevant post of the decade without contest.

  2. CPC Logic: Long-form census is an invasion of privacy, but their anti-terror bill is not.

      CPC logic is an oxymoron.

      I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Harper promised he wouldn't do that but of course we know valid those things are. There are a lot of chickens coming home to roost (Duffy trial to name a biggy)smack in the middle of campaign time if he sticks to the current date. Could get a little embarrassing for him.

      Most of what Harper has been up to lately reeks of desperation. Guttung copyright for his attack ads, moving towrd decrim. of pot laws, a little flash in the pan in Iraq. He must find some way to dislodge those damn polls.

  18. The NDP motion to make the executive branch more accountable receives support from all parties, including a few of the CPC backbenchers. Still doesn't pass though. Harper's government doesn't care about accountability.

      So how was Canada's economy from April to June?

  20. Let me be clear on something, the conservatives on the forum are correct. Inequality is not a problem. Rising inequality is the problem. It's unsustainable and will inevitably lead to either a police state or revolt.

  23. Despite the commanding lead that Brian Gallant's Liberals had at the outset of the NB Election. I'm going to guess the results Monday will be 29 seats to the Liberals and 20 seats to the Tories. The wheels fell off the NBLA days before the vote.

  24. Gallant's massive lead in the polls has shrunk substantially leading into the NB election. The latest #s puts Tories in striking distance. These #s are before Gallant complete screwed up his tax figures on CBC.

      Yeah. Warren Kinsella just was talking about that on Sun News. I rarely say this about many politicians, but Brian Gallant, imho, is a sock puppet. He's a pretty boy tennis instructor that they got to be the face of the Liberals. They're pretending it's a different party from Shawn Graham's premiership. It's not. Gallant is literally the model they hired to deliver their message. I strongly believe it's Victor Boudreau who's in control of that party.

      Gallant is still in the 40s. It's likely a majority, but we'll see how epic the crash and burn is from his week from hell. Then everyone can complain that polls are useless again, even though the context of the election changed dramatically in just 7 days.
