Kliege Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 The campaign need to stop with all this sillness about abortion and get back to the issues that affect the majority of people in this country. Most women do not have abortions and the Liberals and media do a diservice to the people by focusing on this. Whatever happen to the platforms? Whatever happen to Healthcare? What ever happen to the sponsorship scandel? What ever happen to the gun registry? What ever happen to taxes? Whatever happen to the enviroment? Whatever happen to cities? Whatever happen to transportation? What ever happen to education? Whatever happen to agriculture? Whatever happen to crime? Whatever happen to sofewood lumber? Whatever happen to mad cow? Whatever happen to are relationship with the Unitied States? Whatever happen to defense and taking care of a men and women in the service? Whatever happen to Housing? Whatever happen to student debt? Whatever ever happen to Canada role in the world? These are the issues that mean the most to Canadians and that effect there lives everyday and for the last fews days they have gone unnoticed so that one party can focus on abortion. Get real. This need to stop before no one comes out to vote on June 28th. Quote
maplesyrup Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I think you will find that the abortion issue is only going to grow in intensity. And the reason for it is that Canadians want real clarity on the issue. Until they get it you can expect the heat to increase substantially.

Kliege Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 For Canadians abortions is not a issue. Again most women do not have abortions and most would not get one. Its only the media that is interested in this stuff and it makes me sick because real issues are not being addressed. I wanna know why I have to wait four weeks just to see a specialist or why are my taxes going up this year or will the E.I program be reformed so my brother in quebec will not have to choose between feeding his family or paying the rent. Those are they issues that mean something to Canadians not what Paul Martin or Stephen Harper thinks about abortion. And you know whats funny and kinda of sad. The only party this is talking about issues importent to the people is the BLOC. Now what does that say about what is going on now. I just might end up voting for the BLOC and I don't even live in Quebec Quote
maplesyrup Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Abortion issue takes centre stage in campaign The once-dormant abortion debate seems to be finding its way into an election campaign that many have said has had no galvanizing issue. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Paul Martin spent the day asserting his support for women's access to abortion while criticizing Conservative Leader Stephen Harper's stance. At the G-8 summit in Georgia, the prime minister said he believes in a woman's right to choose. He said if it comes to choosing between his religion or the Charter of Rights on the issue, he said he'll take the Charter. "I believe, given the importance of the charter in defending individual rights, that you can't pick and choose the rights as a Parliament that you're going to support," he said. Martin made his comments as he criticized Harper for failing to condemn one of his MPs who compared abortions to the beheading of an American contractor by Iraqi terrorists. This could be the issue that trips up the Conservatives so you can expect the Liberals to milk it for all it is worth. Sure looks like they will give it a good shot.

Kliege Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 Well then let Martin run on abortion..Layton and Harper need to start getting back to the issues. It would benifit them both, in my opinion. Quote
August1991 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Well then let Martin run on abortion.. I agree. Let's see where this issue gets the Liberals and Layton in three weeks. Quote
maplesyrup Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 The problem is that Harper is allowing it to become an issue by the way he is dealing with it. Too bad.

Kliege Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 Well Maple... im glad your happy that this campaign as come down to issue like abortion and same-sex marriage. They are such pressing issues that effect the lives of the majority of canadians. Nevermind heathcare or taxes, same sex marriage and abortion are the issues Canadians go to bed worrying about. But for my im sick of it and until I hear something in this campaign that effects my family and I and how I live day to day, I am done with this campaign and I may not even vote. Politics in this country has become a joke, it says nothing and solves nothing. Quote
