Evening Star Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I'm waiting for them to release their platform but right now, I'm questioning whether I even know what they stand for, exactly. Quote

Army Guy Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 We shall see how Harper's response to the humanitarian refugee crisis - emphasizing military involvement - plays with voters. Actually he said there needs to be a balanced approach, refugees, aid and seeing to the cause of the problem. Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
Derek 2.0 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 He may be down because of his immigration policy I doubt it factored much into the most recent polling........maybe next week? also the fact that he like conservative wishes to balance the budget this year and apparently his numbers don't add up That is what will sink Mulcair........The Tories offer balanced budgets and the Liberal's Keynesian deficits.........The NDP, billions in social programs, with a balanced budget and no clear way to pay for it all........Mulcair would have been better off with Trudeau's approach to "investment".......

Derek 2.0 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 yabut... is he ready? I'm not saying no forever........ Quote
waldo Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I'm not saying no forever........ I doubt Harper can ride an escalator and talk at the same time into a camera! Quote
waldo Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Actually he said there needs to be a balanced approach, refugees, aid and seeing to the cause of the problem. Harper's delivery of that "balanced approach" certainly wasn't balanced! From the onset, he prominently played the 'fighting terrorism/ISIS card' over any genuine concern for Syrian refugees - shameless! Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I doubt Harper can ride an escalator and talk at the same time into a camera! You'd be wrong, as his CPU comes standard with a neural net processor.....a learning computer. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Harper's delivery of that "balanced approach" certainly wasn't balanced! From the onset, he prominently played the 'fighting terrorism/ISIS card' over any genuine concern for Syrian refugees - shameless! Huh? Operation Impact started with the GoC donating and transporting aide months prior to the start of the combat mission in Iraq, and with Syria, the GoC has contributed over $400 million in humanitarian aide, from 2012, towards displaced Syrians, furthermore, an additional ~$200 million towards development projects in Jordan to address the Syrian exodus......... What is telling though is the partisan attacks against Harper for the displaced Syrians.........and not those that actually displaced them. By all means explain how past Liberal/NDP promises would have addressed the root causes of the Syrian diaspora....... Edited September 4, 2015 by Derek 2.0 Quote
waldo Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 please sir... the relative period of the referenced "onset" pertains to the last most recent days played out in the media and on the campaign trail! As I said, shameless (and continued) fear-mongering from the FearMongerInChief! Quote
Smallc Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 please sir... the relative period of the referenced "onset" pertains to the last most recent days played out in the media and on the campaign trail! Ah, so when the context doesn't fit, ignore it. Quote
waldo Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Ah, so when the context doesn't fit, ignore it. when the context is drawn from my post... my post... yes, I most certainly do get to rule on the context that I was speaking to! Anything else to chirp about? on edit: I'll play... claiming a Harper Conservative "commitment" means diddly! Harper also made a much trumpeted "commitment" to resettle Syrian refugees... how has that "commitment" actually translated into real numbers? Edited September 5, 2015 by waldo Quote
Smallc Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 when the context is drawn from my post... my post... yes, I most certainly do get to rule on the context that I was speaking to! Your post was clearly incorrect when context was brought in. The world exists outside of the election campaign. Quote

Harper also made a much trumpeted "commitment" to resettle Syrian refugees... how has that "commitment" actually translated into real numbers? as Mulcair correctly highlighted, fighting that "root cause" you so readily jump to, had no bearing on the actual numbers of refugees profiled in recent days - it was just another opportunity for HarperTerrorFighter to pump the fear-factor!

Keepitsimple Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 it was just another opportunity for HarperTerrorFighter to pump the fear-factor! More media-driven drivel parroted by our Trudeau idolizer.......Canadians aren't afraid of terrorists...we're disgusted by them and want to do everything we can reasonably do to keep them and "it" out......and hammer anyone who tries to give comfort or support to their barbarism. Quote Back to Basics

So you think sending over a few bomb-trucks... that really aren't flying to speak of... is that your interpretation of "HarperHammering"? Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 More media-driven drivel parroted by our Trudeau idolizer.......Canadians aren't afraid of terrorists...we're disgusted by them and want to do everything we can reasonably do to keep them and "it" out......and hammer anyone who tries to give comfort or support to their barbarism. I guess you. like Harper, thinks buzzing around in F 18's is accomplishing that "hammering". So far that has accomplished not much more than now having us to answer for civilian casualties, according to none other than Pentagon reports. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 given the chirp, I'll play... claiming a Harper Conservative "commitment" means diddly!
