That was the exact word that I was thinking when I clicked on this thread.

Me thinks you are a hypocrite <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OMG!! The NDP are being taken over by extremists!!!!

Its gotta be Landslide Annie!!!

I don't think that Harper hates Canada at all. I DO think that Martin hates anyone who disagrees with his God-given right to rule.

This still ignores the average non-farmer that lives in rural-Canada (check a map, there are alot of us) who has to travel to obtain essential goods and services. I am astonished at how "city-centric" this idea is and find the anti-rural bias to be short sighted, poorly considered and offensive.

Hmm...A tax cut that treats everyone equally; the wealthy, the poor, individuals, small businesses and large corporations. It can't be a good thing.

My original membership began 22 March 04, but I don't remember the password and have changed email accounts since then.

Good thoughts, but I take some exception to the Liberals talking points. If you turn back the clock 15 years or so, you'll notice that no one was talking about tax cuts and a balanced budget except for the Reform party. Once Manning generated enough pressure, the Liberals co-opted his themes. Is Martin a brilliant economist or does he just know how to steal good ideas (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Your 10 cent/litre additional Fuel tax is profoundly anti-rural where public transit is non-existant and people must travel distances to obtain many goods and services. Why do you cater to the cities and ignore the realities of Canadian geography? Or are we all supposed to move to the already overburdened cities?? Your policy would be a death blow to many many rural communities.

Given the Liberal track record and the corruption that Gomery has exposed, it is just as likely that the Liberals leaked the information to their friends in exchange for campaign kickbacks. I can hear hoofbeats and I'm thinking horse not zebra.

Its all about checks and balances. Probably scares the hell out of the Liberal establishment.

It would replace political interference and the authority would come from Parliment. And no, its not an indictment of the RCMP. If anything it would bolster their authority when working on politically charged cases.

So much for Paul Martin as the Messiah of Medicare

This is where it gets silly for me. If a 44 year old having sex with a 14 year ld is so heinous, what makes that same 44 year old having sex with a 16 year old any better? The two year increase seems like such a half measure. Maybe we should adopt the following formula for determining age of consent: A= X/2+7 (where X is your age) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ultimately its not much better. But given facts on child development and ego development 16 is less obscene than 14. Black Dog, how can you support the Liberal position on this? You are in a socially and morally untenable position. You can admit that Martin was wrong on this and still be a Liberal.

Clearly you don't have children. I'm a Father and I work in Child Protection. There are alot of skeevy pervs (technical term) and alot of mixed up kids. These are undeniable facts. And it should be illegal for some 44 year old to take advantage of a "consenting" 14 year old. Any other position is heinous.

Its good that he got the nomination. He's an anti-Ukranian racist and will either lose his seat soundly or prove that the Liberals are hypocrites.

All praise the beatific munificence of the Holy Liberal Party!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well Dan the truth is the Liberals have upped our ownership of MRI machines in the country by 400% since they won that election in 93? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could say the same about any emerging technology. Should we thank the Lieberals for the increased use of PDA's. By your logic they should get the credit. Lets thank them for cell phones and DVD players as well.

No sleazier that Paul Martin buying her vote and trying to buy Inky Mark's vote and the Grewal's vote. No sleazier than giving tax dollars to Lieberal friendly companies. The Lieberals wrote the book on sleaze, making your complaints about the conservatives, at best Hipocritical.

Lieberal, Regardless of anyone's personal feelings on 1 tier vs 2 tier Healthcare, The Courts have made their ruling and the current system violates our Charter Rights. Are you saying that the Charter is Wrong?

All praise the beatific munificence of the Holy Liberal Party!!!

I am employed as a frontline social service worker and have some first hand knowledge regarding the needs of families. This child care plan will be of great use to some of the families that I work with. Unfortunately, it will be of absolutely no use to the majority of families with which I work. And this is the reason that I think that the plan is fundamentally flawed. It is a wonderful plan with full pomp and circumstance that is useless to a majority of families.

No we want to run our own affairs. FREE ALBERTA!!!!

And yet despite all that, it is the Liberal Party that wraps themselves in the flag and proclaims that they alone can save healthcare from the scary, baby-eating conservatives. so, as Monte said: ...the Libs have claimed for twelve years that they are the saviours of healthcare in Canada. Paul Martin claims to have fixed what they had claimed was already a perfect system. In fact he had fixed it for a generation, er a decade. That's what he said. But the courts have said that Paul is blowing smoke and in Canada that even trumps what the Libs say. Paul Martin is blowing smoke about his deific record on health care. He is selling a bill of goods that so many voters in Ontario and so many trolls on this board seem to take as gosple. All sing praises to Lord Martin and his sacred Red Book!!!!!

Copied from Monte Solberg's blog. And what of that little court decision? Most importantly, because the court said it, we can now acknowledge that the current system is broken so badly that some people are dying on waiting lists. We've always know this but unless it is said by a Liberal or a judge it really isn't true. Secondly the Libs have claimed for twelve years that they are the saviours of healthcare in Canada. Paul Martin claims to have fixed what they had claimed was already a perfect system. In fact he had fixed it for a generation, er a decade. That's what he said. But the courts have said that Paul is blowing smoke and in Canada that even trumps what the Libs say. Of course when Conservatives point out that the system is all screwed up that makes Conservatives scary. But I digress. Maybe now we'll have some more honest debate on this whole thing. If we do that maybe Paul will take the time to explain why he himself uses a private clinic. I love liberal hypocrisy.

And don't rule out the possiblity of a big upswing in Western Separation talk.
