Dave_ON Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 In particular, his "tough on crime" as described in the CBC website is way better than what had previously been reported. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/06/03/pol-throne-speech.html Hmm one troubling item, creation of an Office of Religious Freedom. Why is this at all necessary? These freedoms are already protected in the constitution. Mostly it's standard fluff though, nothing overly exciting. I find it interesting though, that increased spending and reduced taxes are on the agenda. What's ironic is they're creating a committee to study how government spending can be reduced, I wonder what they'll conclude... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper has some convictions; he is not a Mulroney-style power broker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to do with refugees, not people already here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is troubling to me is the tendency of the SSC to trample parliament and do social engineering. Edited June 7, 2011 by RNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
