punked Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 THIS must be the hidden agenda! It must be! What else can it be? I find it poetic that the "hidden agenda" is transparency! !!!!!!! Damn you hind-sight! Damn you! I wish we could get some of this so called Transparency from the government who demands from everyone but themselves. Maybe the PBO wouldn't have to take them to court to give him information which by law they have to give him eh? Transparency for some but for this government it is anything but.

punked Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I know exactly where my taxes go. To the dollar... to the DOLLAR! Again. I hear a lot of about Transparency from you but this government is the one BEING TAKEN TO COURT by the PBO because they wont release numbers to the public. No one else. SO YOU CAN COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY WHEN I SEE FROM THIS GOVERNMENT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch 27 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Kevin is about future spending... Something that hasn't "happened" alla the fighters.. I want to see WHERE these unions are spending money....I don't CARE about where they "plan" to at all! Harper could plan to spend billions on reindeer and angel dust for all the kiddies in the world... If he does... He's gone...... Now if the unions spend millions on the PLO, I would like to know! Why are they unions so afraid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I used to be in the BCGEU, and I'm sure I would have been horrified to see what they were spending. Probably trips to Brazil to attend Palestinian conferences aimed at the release of criminals. They have nothing to be afraid of from transparency, unless they do.

Wayward Son Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Now if the unions spend millions on the PLO, I would like to know! Again, if you are not a member why do you have any right to know? And why should they have to provide that information to you at their expense. These so-called small government conservatives turn out to be the exact opposite once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWTT Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Not at all! Don't worry Fletch,Quebec has already come out and said they are going to use the "Not witstanding clause" to shoot it down in their province. Furthermore,this is a private members bill that will have a cost attached to it.This is against the rules so the senate may shoot it down. Furthermore bill c-377 will be successfully challenged and thrown out in court! WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch 27 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 But wayward son! It's called transparency! Would you not like to know where your taxes go? (as you do now)? What is the fear? Transparency heals all! It's a good thing! Should a liberal supporters union dues go to an NDP cause? And ndp fund raiser? Maybe directly to mulcairs election?

WWWTT Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ps........ It passed For now,but not the senate. And how about the legal challenges to come?

Wayward Son Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 But wayward son! It's called transparency! Would you not like to know where your taxes go? (as you do now)? What is the fear? Transparency heals all! It's a good thing! Should a liberal supporters union dues go to an NDP cause? And ndp fund raiser? Maybe directly to mulcairs election? Would I like to know where my taxes go? Yes, and unlike you, I don't find the government any more transparent then they are forced to be (at best). Would I like to know where my union dues go? Yes, when I worked in a unionized environment I wanted to know where my dues went, and I definitely did not find the union sharing such information willingly in my case. However, it was up to the union members to get their leadership to be more transparent, and they did not push for such. That was their decision to make. Not yours. Would I like to know where my former union dues go? Or any other union? It is none of my damn business. Just like it is none of my damn business how a church spends their money (unless I am a member). Just like it is none of my damn business how a charity spends their money (unless I am a member). Just like it is none of my damn business if you own a firearm. It might be greater transparency for the government to tell homeowners that they have to post to a website whether or not there is a gun in their home, and to do so at an expense to themselves of time and money. I would call that an intrusion by the state where they have no business being. I consider this example to be big government at its worst. I guess we will see what the courts decide.

Fletch 27 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Weeeell wayward... I would like to know if my public employees union is funding a socialist agenda or the PLO.

That's my right, that transparency... Ain't that grand? It can't be one way. Oh I have no doubt what you would like to know, as the hypocrisy and intrusiveness of authoritarians knows no bounds. As to whether it is your right, the courts will decide. And if this was about knowing whether the unions of public employees were funding the PLO or a socialist agenda then the bill would not include all unions, would it now?

Fletch 27 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I like my "right to work".... And my right to pay a mortgage... I like my right to fight for a higher wage and my right to buy a coffee maker or snowmobile. I enjoy my right to work for whom ever I choose and whenever I work. I like my right to sleep in till 10:00. I like my rights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
