SpankyMcFarland Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Western democracy? William Lyon Mackenzie King won, lost and won again. So also Trudeau Snr. And also Macdonald. I once thought that Harper/Dion would do a dance but it appears that only Harper is in for the long haul. Modern federal Liberals are gadflies: they go from gnats to juniors. King ruled in a more deferential era. His weirdness was well concealed. If he had even been forced to face the occasional TV interview like Harper, he would have struggled.

Scotty Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yup ... taking money and services away from people without jobs ... and giving it to the wealthy in return for political contributions ... what Harper excels at. . Everything government does involves giving money to people. There cannot be any cut in spending without cutting the money they give to people. Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthere Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yup ... taking money and services away from people without jobs ... and giving it to the wealthy in return for political contributions ... what Harper excels at. . Yup.... unemployment levels in Canada are simply horrific. Every person everywhere should have the job they want at the pay they want in the place they want, and it is Harpers job to deliver that. He refuses to do it because he hates people and he hates freedom. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
