I know that you Harper supporters keep trying to get it killed because you don't like to be reminded just how disgraceful Harper's rule has been. At this point I'm so disengaged from the vitriol. Most of these posts I'm just rolling my eyes. I MUCH prefer to have an engaged discussion where the left and the right can discuss something without shitting on each other.

ReeferMadness Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Meanwhile, back to the topic at hand. Stephen Harper is so unpopular in East Vancouver that people were threatening to boycott a brewery where he held a rally. @RedTruckBeer My team and I will no longer be purchasing beer from your brewery.

I don't participate in that thread about Trudeau either. Seriously, what good does it do? It's not an intellectual discussion either. Look. There's a reason why so many people are talking about strategic voting this election. Harper has alienated most of Canada with the crap he's done. And he's responsible for so many unethical, disgusting actions that it's hard to keep track of all of them. So, that's what this thread is for. If you don't like it, there's lots of other threads that might appeal to you better.

ReeferMadness Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Harper may be a self-proclaimed economic boy wonder. But somehow his platform violates WTO rules. “Non-compliance is a legislative function of the CBSA, not the CITT, for one thing. And the CBSA, based on the statute, has extensive investigatory and enforcement procedures available to it if there’s been circumvention. So I don’t know what this means. It certainly doesn’t square with the legislation,” Goldman said. “As a trade lawyer who’s been practicing before the CITT and the CBSA for 20 years, I have absolutely no idea what that means.” You would think that since the Conservatives have waited until the last minute to release their platform, at least they could have ensured that it made sense.

Truth Or Dare Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) How can someone be legally responsible for NOT doing something?

Using the word "foreigner" relating to new Canadian residents does not make him a racist. Edited October 10, 2015 by Truth Or Dare Quote

Truth Or Dare Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Unfortunately, King Stephen has grown bolder, secretive, and arrogant with each passing year and that is why he has become his own worst enemy as many people have been pointing out. No one incident is enough to disqualify him as a national leader, but cumulatively they cannot be ignored, even if am banned for saying so. http://www.alternet.org/world/whats-his-problem-70-ways-canadas-prime-minister-has-assaulted-democracy-and-lawSeriously, nobody is perfect, and nobody ever expected Harper to be perfect. But its not unreasonable to expect the guy to be a little humble, honest, and compassionate. Quote

ReeferMadness Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Given the Conservatives abandonment of science, many of you might have come to the conclusion that it is no longer relevant in Canada. For those of you who still think science is a good thing, there is a national debate today on CBC's Quirks and Quarks. Representing the CBC will be Gary Goodyear. Seriously, I'm not making this up. Tune in to see if he claims the world is 6,019 years old.

Stephen Harper's Conservatives have made federal elections a gladiators' arena where anything goes -- unless and until you are caught, that is. Here are 17 times his team violated election laws or ethics.

ReeferMadness Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Giller winning author Joseph Boyden calls out Harper for US-style politics. Giller prize-winning author Joseph Boyden said Stephen Harper’s comments on niqab issues are “race-baiting” and he compared Harper’s policies to Nazi Germany. Speaking to Evan Solomon on SiriusXM’s radio program Everything is Political, Boyden called the Tory efforts to ban the niqab “fear-mongering to the lowest common denominator.” It reminds me of the worst of American politics.

ReeferMadness Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Now Harper is interfering with the legal system and inciting fear of the mentally ill. Schoenborn's lawyers, along with two of the country's foremost experts on mentally ill offenders, strongly object to the ad. "It's just wrong for Mr. Harper to use Mr. Schoenborn's case to obtain political leverage in an election,'' said lead counsel Peter Wilson in an interview. "Mr. Schoenborn's been made the posterboy.''Politicians rarely speak publicly about a case while it's before the courts. Isn't it funny how the Conservatives, who refuse to comment, when their own are in front of the courts don't have a problem with it when it's to their political advantage. Just another example of Harper's disgusting behavior.
