jbg Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 Who woukd you vote for? I can vote for no one since I don't live in a Canadian parliamentary riding. I live in a foreign country. 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).
John Charlton Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 I would like to give Justin time to find his worth as to prove if he is for the people or big business... We will learn as he will, is the party #1 or the people. I just like that fact that he sent the Senate packing from the party to sit more or less as independant from th party time will tell. Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 One prediction I have is that we will see a spring election. Harper has to be running scared over the Duffy case and I suspect he'll take his chances before the truth comes out in court, even though the opposition will have a field day with it in any case.

Moonbox Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 The longer the Duffy scandal gets drawn out, the less people will care about it. The Duffy scandal is small potatoes compared to the Ontario Liberal gas plant scandal, and it didn't take long for Ontario voters to forget about that. In the end, it's going to be boil down to TV propaganda commercials, because the average Canadian voter can't handle anything much more complicated than a pageant.

On Guard for Thee Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Small potatoes perhaps in terms of dollars involved, but much bigger potatoes in that it will involve a criminal proceeding that could land right back on Harper, or at least his chief aide. Duff's lawyer has a big time argument in why his client is charged for recieving the check but not Wright for writing it. Beyond that he has a good case for getting the charges dropped because a major witness (Harper) has made himself unavailable. But not before a whole lot of dirty laundry gets exposed. Quote

If there was evidence that Wright committed fraud wouldn't he have been charged by now? What are they waiting for? Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 The evidence against Wright is as obvious as it is against Duffy. Why they haven't charged him, who knows for sure but it's not hard to figure that in all likelihood they have not charged him so they can compell him to testify. Quote
Keepitsimple Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) The evidence against Wright is as obvious as it is against Duffy. Why they haven't charged him, who knows for sure but it's not hard to figure that in all likelihood they have not charged him so they can compell him to testify. You'd better hope that's not the case or Duffy will easily beat the rap. Everything in Wright's personal and business background leads reasonable people to believe his stated motive - that he was only trying to force Duffy to do the right thing - and pay the money back! The RCMP obviously came to the same conclusion - regardless of how much you would like to slander Wright with your charges of corruption - a man who refused to accept any compensation for his role as Chief of Staff.

eyeball Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Why didn't Wright take his evidence to the police and so the law could force Duffy to pay the money back, since when did the police allow people to take the law into their own hands?

Keepitsimple Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 No denying it...thinks are looking pretty rosy for the Liberals at this point in time. Quote Back to Basics
waldo Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 No denying it...thinks are looking pretty rosy for the Liberals at this point in time. of course, it/that lead won't be maintained... but it begins to add more credence to 'Harper talking his walk in the snow'. Where the CPC takes the spotlight for months on end with a leadership race... where a shiny new leader comes forward: MacKay, Kenney, Moore... Prentice is out... maybe Brad Wall, etc............

PIK Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Of course it looks good for them, they have kept their leader hidden and away from the commons. Eventually he will have to come out and answer questions and then people will then realize they are not going to put their future in his hands.

guyser Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 . Eventually he will have to come out and answer questions "let me be clear on this"...let us know when Harper answers a question. Quote

Traditionally CPC numbers rise during the summer months when they aren't on the job. I expect we'll see even more conservative attack ads now.

cybercoma Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 They better release more attack ads. At this rate we're cruising towards a large Liberal majority government. Quote
Smallc Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 It's looking that way, and as much as I defend the conservatives, I won't be sad. Quote
