Smallc Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 How about a referendum at the next election - abolish or reform ? What would that accomplish? Quote
punked Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Liberal PMs packed the Senate with Liberals and New Democrats. So why is it suddenly wrong if Harper puts in Conservatives? This is why we need an ELECTED Senate, but Quebec and Ontario are dead set against it. Just thought I would point out there are NO NEW DEMOCRATS in the Senate. What a dumb statement. Quote
Saipan Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Wow. You're tossing out non sequiturs left, right, and centre. Clearly you can't answer the question or address the valid points that were raised. Clearly you can't even ask the question. Complaining is not a question Quote
Saipan Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) So your entire defence for all of Stevie Harpocrite's failings I don't defend him, nor Jean The-Hillsidde-Strangler, or Jack-in-the-Box. What shock me however is the fact you're not banned for couple of weeks by our liberal moderator for not using proper name, because officially even common nickname like Iggy is "offensive" here. And we are talking about Canada's actual Prime Minister not some wanabe politician. Edited May 23, 2011 by Saipan Quote
g_bambino Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Clearly you can't even ask the question. The questions were asked. It's not ridiculous to expect you to answer them. Here they are again: Do you have any idea how this elected Senate would actually work? What exactly is good about the idea? "Effectively" is just an adverb that doesn't explain anything about the mechanics by which your elected Senate would work. And you completely ignored the second question.

I will never ever refer to that waste of skin Stevie Harpocrite by his proper name or respect him in any way by addressing him as PM. If that offends, then people need to grow a thicker skin. And for the record, you are very definitely defending Harpocrite's actions Edited May 23, 2011 by Rick Quote “This is all about who you represent,” Mr. Dewar (NDP) said. “We’re (NDP) talking about representing the interests of working people and everyday Canadians and they [the Conservatives] are about representing the fund managers who come in and fleece our companies and our country.

If that offends, then people need to grow a thicker skin. And for the record, you are very definitely defending Harpocrite's actions You've got it wrong, Rick. People here do NOT have to grow a thicker skin! This board has standards. It is not YOUR board! Someone else is paying for it and he who pays the piper calls the tunes. Duly appointed moderators have the right to punish you for your behavior or even to ban you outright. Instead of everyone else having to "grow a thicker skin" perhaps YOU should be made to follow the rules of this board. If you don't like the way things are here perhaps you would be more comfortable on a board like "rubble.com" where there appear to be no rules or even any sense of manners at all. Unless of course you are actually a major donor of finances to this board, a fact I may not have been aware. In which case, my apologies.

MiddleClassCentrist Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Posted May 24, 2011 Yes it is. And I have an evidence. Is that why conservative posters are the loudest? They feel like no one is listening so they have to win arguments at all costs? Quote Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.
madmax Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Insulting is when Chretien completely ignored Alberta's elected choices for the Senate. Sure it was, Good to see Harper can insult us with his appointments of these unelectable losers. Quote
madmax Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 One problem is call it "upper" chamber. It's as low as it can get if a senator can lay on Mexican beaches for a year while still getting regular salary and no one knows. Great to see that Harper lower the bar for his group of hacks and losers. Quote
madmax Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Should we adapt a system of another country? Perhaps Cuba? Ironically, our Prime Ministers Totalitarian stances and Patronage Appointments appear to be leading into that level of Control, never seen before in Canada.

And creative uses for faster Border accessibility by using funds to build a Gazebo in North Central Ontario... a few hundred miles from the border. It doesn't sound like Cuba.... It feels like the movie Terry Gilliam Movie .. Brazil Quote

No, not until you are fully cognizant of everybody who has been banned, and for what reasons. Which you aren't. But if you prefer to play noble victim of MLW's Communist policies, go ahead.
