Wots Gonna Happen when parliament resumes

[William Ashley]

Ok, so I've been anxiously awaiting for the axe to fall, but things seem to go really slow and nothing happens. It is almost as if it is still a minority government, except for the committees that actually have a purpose.

What legislation is getting rolled out.

When will the Senate be snuffed?

When will more criminals be made?

And gst to 0%?

And the deficit to 0 plan unveiled?

and whatever else was on the agenda I've forgotten.

When are they going to do that stuff now that they have their "MAJORITY"

is it only more back to work legislation because of collective bargaining in store?

Whats gonna happen in the fall? Really are they gonna do it?

There are 15 days in a row coming up between the 19th of September and the 7th of October or will that be all syria? Isn't that enough time to implement a 20 year old strategy, or do things need to be thought out more?

Did someone not think to write those things down?

I predict business as usual. They might finally move on scrapping the gun registry before the end of the year.

[Boges]

I like how you equate putting violent criminals into prison to "making more criminals"

That would tell me enough about your political bias. Multiple time violent offenders should sent to love and kindness camp and not prison.

I think they want to get rid of the Long Gun Registry.

They do probably want to cut spending and try to return to a balanced budget. Which I support.

There was no real incentive in the CPC blowing their wad over the summer by revealing much of their agenda. They already ran on their budget in the May election.

What I do predict is that the Opposition NDP will make an absolute fool of themselves without their messianic leader.

We have laws for that now, though.

Oh my, a Conservative majority for over 3 months and Harper hasn't issued one solitary dictatorial proclamation. I guess it's safe to come out from under our beds now.

Wots (sic) gonna happen now? Well I guess Nycole Turmel will get to practice her English in front of a captive audience and NDP leadership hopefuls will compete for the nightly news sound bites.

Welcome the omnibus crime bill....goodbye to the long gun registry....Then a bunch more secret stuff from the hidden agenda

You mean...we're gonna get the "Royal" treatment?

Harper wants to put lots of non violent criminals in prison as well.

Shhhh….not suppose to tell…..Wouldn’t be much of a secret, hidden agenda now would it

[Guest Derek L]

Harper wants to put lots of non violent criminals in prison as well.

Where should criminals go?

PM Harper should put all non violent criminals in prison. Canada is soft on crime and needs to change it's entire approach to "restorative justice". Hug-a-thug has not worked, and all Canadian voters should support efforts by the CPC to get tough on crime. This is the only way that Canada can stop from sinking into a criminal abyss.

Canadians should not vote for any other party.

(Christ, this is funnier than I thought.)

How dare you Merkicans tell us Canadians who to elect!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

...and furthermore, Canada should get rid of the monarchy and stop swearing allegiance to a doddering old queen in another country!

Change the Senate to be elected office too!

This is the only way that Canada can save itself from certain doom!

OH YEAH!!!!

[bush_cheney2004]

OH YEAH!!!!

Excellent!

[g_bambino]

When will the Senate be snuffed?

When the country is.

[Guest Derek L]

Excellent!

And you’d better, not for a second, don’t think we know about this:

War Plan---Red

That should get them riled up

Sure he did. He told Canada Post that as long as mail was moving they weren't going to step in. Canada Post locked out its employees, so Harper stepped in forced the employees to take a reduced settlement with the company and cut the pay and benefits of all new employees. Only a dictator would interfere with collective bargaining rights and open contract negotiations.

I hope that isn't serious.

The reason our country is the greatest and your country is done like dinner ,never to be great again, is the fact you cut your ties to the queen and became a republic. So for you to tell us what to do, is quite funny.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

[William Ashley]

When the country is.

No one told me. Wasn't the election last spring?

You know in regards to Canada, they could like you know just move here. It'd probably cost less. You know if they move 30 million of their over 200 million inhabitants they would probably win an election. It would probably cost less than a war too. It would cost say 300 Billion a year to support 30 million americans in Canada..

given a 25% popular vote majority in Canada that amounts to say 1/4 that cost at say 75 billion / year... less than Iraq.

Why bomb when you can just move house?

The 'invasion' would likely take less time than Iraq or Afganistan.. what is it 5 or 7 years for citizenship?

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-usa-citizens.html

Wow 3 years only.. a three year invasion of Canada...

A Canadian Permanent Resident may become a Canadian Citizen and receive a Canadian Passport after three years.

You could just train to meet entry requiresments all your unemployed people... what is that 9% plus relocate a chunk of your civil service and military (this needs to be done for the new border security takeover anyway..)

So say 20 million unemployed and their families relocated benefits to Canada and a chunk of civil service and military boom. 4 year takeover. Not a single shot fired.

That is leadrship, change is coming for the unions in this country.

It was. Did you expect the Senate to vanish upon the conclusion of the vote count?
