-TSS- Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Canada has become the best democracy NOW. Did you see our Prime minister walking into the crowd yesterday shaking hands and offering cookies? Where in the world can a leader so freely walk among the people? Most hide in bullet proof cars and others behind the armed guards. As for the Cabinet, it is the best and most capable cabinet handpicked by the best Prime Minister. And a clear case of equality representing true Canadian values in contrast to UnCanadian values Harper and his regime stood for. Equal number of Women (Yeah!!!!) and racially and ethnically diverse (a thorn in the eyes of the few racists in this country). Today I received a personal letter (with her own handwriting in pen) from a Liberal candidate elected and appointed as a minister in the new cabinet thanking me for my (very small) support during the campaign. When did this ever happened in the past? THIS LIBERAL GOVERNMENT IS A PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE RUN BY THE PEOPLE AND WHO WORKS FOR PEOPLE. Long Live Canada Long Live Government of Canada Long Live Liberal Party of Canada. I don't know your posting-history but I assume you are being sarcastic. Very funny I must admit. Quote
CITIZEN_2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 yikes.... I will change political parties quicker than I change my socks if they don't do what's right. I am not a fan of partisans that are party members for life. I was referring to THIS liberal party of Canada headed by Trudeau and is doing all which is right for the country and the nation. I didn't vote for the Liberal party when Turner was the leader (I am strong supporter of free trade) and I voted for Mulroney which was a progressive conservative. As I have said in the past the former Reform party members from Alberta took over the progressive conservative party (I refer to them as wolves in sheep's clothing) and turn it into a very regressive secretive corrupt party with UnCanadian values.

No I wasn't sarcastic and there is nothing funny about my post. We are on the verge of the debt bubbles bursting. Tax reform at this point will do nothing. Why wasn't it done the last time the Liberals were in power? Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
ToadBrother Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 We are on the verge of the debt bubbles bursting. Tax reform at this point will do nothing. Why wasn't it done the last time the Liberals were in power? Considering the new government was just sworn in yesterday, isn't it a bit early to be blaming them for everything? Quote

Why wasn't it done the last time the Liberals were in power? Trudeau is not responsible for the past mistakes. He is going to bring a good government open and transparent and people's government. Btw I really don't think we have a debt crisis. They have been saying this for a long time and the good side of this is that the interest rates will have to stay down and so will the mortgage rates but if they suddenly go up then yes we may have a crisis.

ToadBrother Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Just asking questions, there toady. Are questions allowed? That's what is called a pointed question, and it's really a statement made in the form of a question. Quote
-TSS- Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Heh, the leading Finnish daily, Helsingin Sanomat, had an article today about the new Canadian minister of defence who is a Sikh and has a military background and has a reputation of being a badass. Quote

ToadBrother Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Have a link? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/05/canada-diverse-cabinet-includes-astronaut-badass-colonel Actually, over the last few days, Sajjan has been receiving more attention than Trudeau. Having read a bit about him, I have to say I don't recall any recent cabinet minister with Sajjan's CV. The guy is equal parts kick-ass soldier and intelligence genius. Quote

As a person who is a minority, finally the bullshit gets called out. So because the cabinet doesn't have members of every possible ethnic group, it's not diverse? Quote
angrypenguin Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 So because the cabinet doesn't have members of every possible ethnic group, it's not diverse? That it's not a representation of Canada. Quote My views are my own and not those of my employer.
ToadBrother Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 That it's not a representation of Canada. Which I disagree with. I don't think any body has to have members of every possible ethnic group out there to be representative, and frankly the majority of the columns being published at the Glob of Mail and Postmedia's clone newspapers is just sourgrapes by a bunch of right of center columnists who confirm with every column why it is the Tories lost.

Smallc Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 So Andrew Leslie gets a good job after all - Chief Government Whip, this time left out of cabinet, as the role more traditionally was: http://ipolitics.ca/2015/11/20/andrew-leslie-named-chief-government-whip/ Quote
Smallc Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Apparently, Christya Freeland is currently on Real Time will Bill Maher. She hasn't been on for a while. It's surprising a minister would be there. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Here is the link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZnfNKoSpoNot a very deep conversation. I gave it 3.5 minutes. I was thinking the conversation would be more wide open than I saw there. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
msj Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Wow our Minister of International Trade is really Ben Affleck! Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist) My biggest takeaway from economics is that the past wasn't as good as you remember, the present isn't as bad as you think, and the future will be better than you anticipate.

socialist Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 I enjoyed this discussion that involved our minister, Freeland. Does Freeland share the thoughts of a majority of Canadians? or would most Canadians agree with Maher?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7OsQRI-LBU Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
Smallc Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 I like Bill Maher (I went to Toronto specifically to watch his live show once). My problem with him is that he's very superficial on many issues. Quote
