jbg Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Jesus. Do you have any idea what you're talking about? The NDP is a pragmatic party? I don't think there's a single political-observer that would say such a thing. At the provincial level, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia they are. 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).

Yeah, they are pragmatic in the sense that they are intended to get them elected, with no intention of ever following through on anything. Like everybody else. If you were a working man you'd know this. Quote The government should do something.
MACKER Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) So Harper is in position to go ahead and cut funding to parties and make the Tories the leader financial wise among the parties. Is this fair? I say no, even if the Liberals tried to do the same but then again the Libs aren't that mean spirited. What is the difference if the government pays or if it comes in as donation, its still the taxpayer paying. Every time Harper does thing mean spirtited or unfair, Taylor Swift song "why do you have to be so mean" comes to mind. http://www.canada.com/news/Harper%2Bparty%2Bfunding%2Bjust%2Bsubsidy%2Biceberg/5507834/story.html They should cut the tax rebates for donations too, I don't want to pay for someone elses donation to a political party.. cut all funding not just the stuff you don't get 2-5x as much from the public for. it is a little corrupt when you keep the unequal - we will subsidize to the maximum contribution for everyone who has money to donate but we won't subsidize based on an equal amount per vote. What type of fascist class discrimination is that? my gawd talk about uncouth and non representative. Some people don't have money to donate or don't want to donate, why should we be paying for people who are partisan hacks so we can give them tax write offs for their tax write offs.. examples albertans have higher per capita incomes likewise places like bc and toronto have high costs of living... financial earnings and disposable income differ accross the country so why should be subsidizing people who have money to throw away. Donations to parties should not be subsidized by the public NO MORE TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS TO POLITICAL PARTIES THE PER VOTE SUBSIDY IS A SMALL FRACTION OF FORCED SUBSIDIZATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES BY THE PUBLIC FOR PERSONAL INTEREST AND PARTISAN INTEREST! IT IS CORRUPTION AND EXTORTION, AND MORALLY A FORM OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY THE POLITICAL PARTIES WHO SUPPORT TAX SUBSIDIES FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS! CORRUPT AND WRONG! Torries axed the 30% MORE FUNDS per vote subsidy and kept the 200% more funds to their party at the cost of the taxpayer subsidy. GET RID OF THEM ALL NOT JUST THE ONE THAT OTHER PARTIES GET MORE FROM. The measure is specifically aimed at the block, and green party -- it is corrupt and wrong. KILL ALL PUBLIC SUBSIDIES TO POLITICAL PARTIES! Edited March 15, 2012 by MACKER Quote
