webc5 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I have a question. Does anyone know when the federal elections debate is? Quote
drummindiver Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I think I would more address Harper is a boring style and even less substance. Less substance than Mulcair? You mean the guy with the French citizenship as well as Canadian? Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Ever listen to QP? Although I'm not likely to vote for him Mulcair pins Harpers ears to the wall constantly. His questions have far more substance than Harper's "let me be very clear" BS. It is fun to watch him squirm though. Quote
Smallc Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Question Period is theatre, and nothing more. Quote
Big Guy Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 What do you mean theatre? Don't you know that "Our friends in Israel are on the front lines combating terrorism .... " Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
jbg Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I think I would more address Harper's is a boring style and lack of even less substance.Is that what you are rying to say? I don't agree with you but what you wrote makes no sense in either of Canada's three official languages. I don't think pretty boy has much substance and Mulcair's substance is violent to Canada's structure and tradition. Mulcair is, or has been a French citizen. Mulcair is a socialist.

SpankyMcFarland Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 From everything I have heard Mulcair is a nasty sort of guy, an overbearing bully who can't let an opportunity to take shots at people go by, including the reporters who interview him. As for Trudeau Junior, he seems to make spur of the moment decisions based on how that will make him look in the press. Having an election with him against Harper will be a fight beween Style with no Substance and Substance with no Style. Mulcair nasty? What is Harper then? Who are his friends? He's a Nixonian figure - calculating, paranoid and vindictive. Quote
drummindiver Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Mulcair nasty? What is Harper then? Who are his friends? He's a Nixonian figure - calculating, paranoid and vindictive. lol. You have to use a left leaning paper's boorish agnomen? I like calculating, paranoid and vindictive. I think they are good attributes in the cut-throat world of politics. And, unlike Mulcair, we know which country his loyalties lie with. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Then I suggest you take your right leaning attributes, and Stephen Harper and move off to a country where they like those things. Good luck finding it. How about Equatorial Guniea for instance. Quote
PIK Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 Harper being nasty is a myth compared to how nasty trudeau has been to his own people. Where tom is just angry. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

Duffy, Wright, Wallin et al,would probably have a very different opinion. But then they have seen the nastiness up close and personal. Quote

poochy Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Duffy, Wright, Wallin et al,would probably have a very different opinion. But then they have seen the nastiness up close and personal. Those poor folks, i mean after Harper told them they could steal, and then he turns his back on them... Im sure there are better examples with which to express the horrible Harper belief, myth or reality. hey, does anyone really think that Chretein was a nicer guy than Harper? Really? i voted for him and i thought he was a asshole. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 After engaging in acts that were either criminal, or at the very least completely unethical. All that remains now is to find out just how deeply Harper was involved in said acts. Quote
Smallc Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 There's nothing showing that he was involved in any way, but I don't expect evidence to convince you. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 How can you conclude that, the Duffster trial hasn't even begun? Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 How can you conclude that, the Duffster trial hasn't even begun? Let's see Nigel's check. Quote
jacee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 There's nothing showing that he was involved in any way, but I don't expect evidence to convince you. You have "evidence" that he wasn't? It's not a good smell either way: http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html?b=fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/04/16/andrew-coyne-nigel-wright-was-cleared-but-many-questions-remain-over-mike-duffy-affair But even on its face, the story he tells is implausible in the extreme. It requires us to believe, not only that Mr. Wright kept him in the dark, but so did everyone else, not only before the story broke but long after that is, after he had told Parliament that Mr. Wright acted alone. And it requires us to believe that Mr. Wright not only lied to him, but lied to his fellow conspirators about what the prime minister knew: notably in the famous good to go email. And if he really did not know? Then the Duffy affair was born, not of any directive by the prime minister, but of a broader culture, in which paying hush money, tampering with audits and lying to the public were considered all part of a days work.

PIK Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 Only in Canada where a government gets into trouble for trying to get back taxpayers money. Yet the ONT liberals steal billions and get a free ride. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Keepitsimple Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Only in Canada where a government gets into trouble for trying to get back taxpayers money. Yet the ONT liberals steal billions and get a free ride. Yep - other countries must look at the Nigel Wright $90,000 "scandal" and say "Let me get this straight - he wanted to pay the money back? And this is a national scandal?......those Canadians - aren't they just the cutest?". Quote Back to Basics
PIK Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 And if trudeau for some reason wins, we are back to the old corrupt Quebec politics again. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
On Guard for Thee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 So you boys are fine to go with the things that are pointed out in JC's post?. I don't care what political stripe a politician wears I don't like those things to be happening and then being lied about. I don't reckon some of Harper's inner cabinet refer to him as the "dictator" for no reason. Makes it a bit hard to buy he didn't know what was happening in his own office. Once again it comes down to either dishonesty or incompetence, or perhaps a bit of both. Quote
