Dave_ON Posted June 6, 2011 Report 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...

Harper has some convictions; he is not a Mulroney-style power broker. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

What is troubling to me is the tendency of the SSC to trample parliament and do social engineering.
