Bob Macadoo Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Under no conditions will I vote for Trudeau, Mulcair or Harper. Or any MP in the parties they head.Ummmmm as an 'merican.....how are you voting again? Quote
jbg Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) huh! I thought your shtick was playing the American... how do you get to vote in a Canadian election?

waldo Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Macadoo got it. You didn't. no! I most certainly got it... and then got your nonsense as in highlighted it. Of course, I edited my comment out even before you quoted it... 10 minutes or so, before. The very fact you captured it and then sat on it for ~10 minutes... and then saw fit to actually quote it speaks volumes. Keep trying to stir it up, hey! Quote
mjrr Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Why? You don't care what his plans are. You've already said you'll vote for him no matter what he does. A position, by the way, I regard as irredeemably stupid. Sounds like you have no firm political ideology and can be a liberal in one election and a conservative in another,depending on who wins the medias popularity contest..

mjrr Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Under no conditions will I vote for Trudeau, Mulcair or Harper. Or any MP in the parties they head. Kinda limits your options on who to vote for if all candidates are off your list.. Quote
Argus Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Sounds like you have no firm political ideology and can be a liberal in one election and a conservative in another,depending on who wins the medias popularity contest.. If you think the Liberal Party has any sort of firm political ideology you're kidding yourself. Like the Conservatives, they'll support whatever they think will get them the most votes. I remind you that the Liberals used to oppose both legalizing pot and gay rights. What changed their minds? Polls, not principles. So yes, I'll continue to look, largely in vain, for an honest politician with integrity, intelligence, and strength of character. Haven't found one yet, of course, but I'm certainly not going to just vote for whoever has the proper colour of hat.

Keepitsimple Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Sounds like you have no firm political ideology and can be a liberal in one election and a conservative in another,depending on who wins the medias popularity contest.. It may come as a surprise to you but a vast number of Canadians fall into that pattern. There's a lot of truth behind voting Liberal when you're younger and Conservative when you're older. I personally have voted for both parties but have been stuck on Conservative since the Martin/Chretien fiasco. I'd vote Liberal again one day if they got a leader that had some substance and backbone. Seems like I'll be sticking with the Devil I know..... Quote Back to Basics

Who the hell doesn't smoke pot these days and who the hell doesn't think gays are just as much people as straights who deserve rights? Get with the times is one way of staying in power. Quote

Who the hell doesn't smoke pot these days and who the hell doesn't think gays are just as much people as straights who deserve rights? Get with the times is one way of staying in power. In a broad sense they should be doing the will of their constituents. The problem is that by and large the ordinary Canadian knows almost nothing about almost everything. He's also interested much more in what's good for him than what's good for everyone else. That's why you need to exercise leadership and demonstrate to Canadians why something they don't necessarily care for is important. Harper lacks the ability to show that leadership. He lacks anything remotely like charisma, and his party is completely incompetent at communicating any sort of persuasive message.

I don't know what part of Canada you live in, or how much of it you have seen, but I have started out in that big smoke that is the center of the universe and then I have lived on the both islands that bracket the geography and many places in between and have travelled to work from sea to sea to sea, and everywhere in between, and I could not disagree more with your outlandish statement of what Canadians know about things. I think you need to get out more. Quote

I think you need to get out more.No, I think Argus is bang on here. Most people just want to continually pay less in taxes yet see stellar results from the core departments (health, education, infrastructure) and their own pet interests. It takes some real leadership skills and a lot of charisma to get Canadians thinking about the greater good. "Ask not what your country can do for you..."
