Argus Posted June 13, 2004 Report Posted June 13, 2004 And from my neck of the woods, Rob Anders is running, Diane Ablonzy, Jason KENNY, all running, so to me, the Conservatives are still the same Anti-immigrant, Pro-Aparteid, Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice, Anti-Public Healthcare PRO-BUSH party that they've always been.It's the same rot. It's the same stink. I suppose there'll always be a bad stench when one's head is lodged as deep in their rectal cavity as yours appears to be.

Argus Posted June 13, 2004 Report Posted June 13, 2004 When you can't correct the argument, correct the spelling. It's usually around here: when you can't correct the arguement, attack the writer. Perhaps you should investigate the difference between making an argument and making an accusation. I have yet so see you make an actual argument.

Argus Posted June 13, 2004 Report Posted June 13, 2004 Somebody mentioned that nobody watches CPAC. The Great Canadian Job Interview also aired on NewsWorld at least twice, so it was well worth the small investment of time required by the candidates.I would have been very interested to see what Harper's responses to the questions would have been. These were questions being posed by young Canadians, people we are supposed to be encouraging to vote. The questions which are important to voters will be dealt with at the debates tomorrow and the next day. I can't say for sure why Harper didn't attend this one, but just off the top of my head I'd guess that if the questions came from "young" canadians, they likely would not have been of the type which would have been flattering to a conservative. Young Canadians, in my experience, don't think things out very clearly and seem to be enamored of very simple answers to very complex questions. That would certainly be a forum for the NDP, and, because he's dishonest, for Martin (who will promise anyone anything for votes). I can see why Harper would have been dubious about it.

Reverend Blair Posted June 14, 2004 Report Posted June 14, 2004 Well, I don't fit into the "young" category anymore...I'm pushing forty. I don't think that writing off young Canadians, who are the ones who will feel the effects of today's policies for the longest time, simply because they may not agree with you is a wise decision. These people are eligible to vote, are Canadians, and have every right to expect their questions and concerns to be addressed by the candidates. That one candidate did not feel that he should address those questions and concerns speaks more about him than the questioners. Quote
