drummindiver Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I am trying to look at all party's lies and get to the facts. non Partisan. I know it's too much to ask our elected officials to be honest, but I would like to have an idea of what the real facts are.

PIK Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Took a quick look and I will be back to read more. Interesting article. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Mighty AC Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 This link details misinformation from the leaders debate, hope it helps. 7 times Stephen Harper misled Canadians during the debate Quote "Our lives begin to end the day we stay silent about the things that matter." - Martin Luther King Jr"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" - Voltaire
waldo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Not one sided at all. then give "another side"... or attempt to refute your claimed "one sided" - yes? Quote
poochy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 then give "another side"... or attempt to refute your claimed "one sided" - yes? Oh yes, because a website run by Ed Broadbent's think tank is bound to be fair when it comes to conservatives, though as biased as you are, you probably believe that it is. Trying to refute left wing nonsense is like pulling weeds, they will just grow back, and are often not worth the effort, and frankly anything you might support is something reasonable people shouldn't.

Smallc Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Then try refuting the issues mentioned in the article instead of wasting time pulling weeds. It's funny how the article only mentioned the untruths of Harper. The other 3 - pure as snow. Quote
poochy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 It's advertised on Rabble as well, another well known, unbiased website. Quote
PIK Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Now since I spent some time on it, it is one sided. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
poochy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Then try refuting the issues mentioned in the article instead of wasting time pulling weeds. The entire site is dedicated to getting the NDP elected, would you accept anything from a similar conservative website? Quote
Argus Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Not one sided at all. An anti conservative propaganda web site with no names behind it.

On Guard for Thee Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 OK then, so nobody's refuting anything in the article. On we go. Quote
socialist Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 The Broadbent Institute and union loving Rabble. No wonder so many people here like Mighty Ac and waldo are so grossly misinformed; people believe this nonsense to be true. Canadians are becoming so complacent, and quite simply, dumb and ignorant.

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 I like this part: In a model drawn from the popular US site... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
waldo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 OK then, so nobody's refuting anything in the article. On we go. seems so... of course one can count on those who simply choose to instead attempt to distract by mentioning the source... or the standard trolling gratuitous reference to a Canadian source referencing an American source Quote

Quote
socialist Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 One can....especially the latter. The NDP has been getting a free pass for decades, but now because of the negativity in the electorate they have the protest vote, inflating their numbers. The election campaign still has a long way to go, so now they will get more scrutiny, the free pass is over. Ultimately in an election it comes down to who is more consistent, has more realistic policies, runs a disciplined no gaff local and national campaign. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
