Title says all.

The chief difference, if electoral reform happens, is that the dynamics of the next election could be very different. There will almost certainly be some form of carbon pricing, if you view that as a significant change (I do not).

Other than that, I think every province will have gone through an electoral cycle before the next expected Federal election.

In the end, not much difference politically. Economically who can say? I expect better, in that I think global economic conditions will have improved.

One thing I know, the promise of aluminum clothing and personal hover cars will still be a distant dream. Sigh...

We will be an embarrassment on the world stage . He will do whatever the UN tells him to do(they are going to have fun with us) We will lose the arctic.( He had already said whatever the UN says who owns it gets it ,he won't fight it) Gun registry is coming back , so there is a division. Islam is going to get a huge foothold in canada. His advisor /brother is a huge fan of palestine and hates Israel, so huge changes there. Rumour, he will skip commonwealth meetings, I guess that is not a big enough stage for him.

Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

I'm not happy JT won but I'm hoping he succeeds in helping the Middle Class like he says. It's stupid to hope he fails because I didn't vote for him. I'm not that partisan.

I hope his government isn't a corrupt money pit like this counterparts in Ontario. We'll see.

Oh, the horror of it all.

Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while preserving privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.

I even hear there'll be roving bands of Hyper-Liberals who will hunt down Tory supporters for sport, when they're not too busy eating babies and sacrificing puppies and kittens to Islam!

Good grief.

Not only that but people will all be smoking weed, and sodomizing each other on the streets and charging money for sex. We will all be wearing Niqabs with extra holes cut in them for smoking joints and giving blowjobs for cash!

Don't forget roving bands of murderous physicians offering taxpayer funded suicides.

Four years? I seem to remember something about Canada changing its electoral-law to introduce fix-term parliaments but was the term shortened to four years?

The Tories put fixed date election legislation in place, but it's largely worthless as the constitution sets a Parliament's maximum life at five years, and since no ordinary legislation can alter the Royal Prerogatives surrounding dissolution, a PM is perfectly free to dissolve Parliament sooner than five years or, as we've seen, creating an absurdly long period between dissolution and the actual election.

I'd like to think the Liberals would toss it as the useless and populist pandering that it is, but I'm sure it's low on the pole.

Same as it does now except with more Muslims in niqabs. Some Niqab clad women in public service and I predict the next election we will have a niqab clad woman as an MP and down the road a PM who wears a niqab. Anyone who is against this is Islamophobic. ANyone who is against Muslims honour killing will be deemed Islamophobic.

Honour killing is no different than domestic violence resulting in death and will be treated the same in the courts.

Can we just stop this already. It was a pointless and divisive debate during the election, and now it's just getting tired. There are no vast hoards of women in face coverings, there is never going to be. It was a failed stunt that ultimately did damage to the party you support.

The CPC put so much into this issue - basically a single person who wanted to wear the niqab while taking the oath. In 4 years, we'll be living on the Liberal Party's implementation of Harper's policies, ie. the ones he didn't talk about enough during the campaign.

Edited to add: also, debt.

So I guess that means you oppose the idea of hate crime charges where the penalty to a violent crime is harsher if the motive is because of the race, religion or gender of the victim.

Honour killing is no different than domestic violence resulting in death. What part of that don't you understand?

Just checking for consistency in your position.

You would also agree that killing someone only because they were a woman, gay or black should be seen exactly the same by the law as a crime of passion by a jilted lover or a robbery gone bad.

I really don't understand your logic.

The law deals with intent, not so much motive, as it should.

I think motive matters. You don't seem to think so. A guy kills his wife because he catches her cheating. I'd say that's a heinous crime. But a man who kills his daughter because she refuses to wear a Niqab. I think that's worse.

I'm using the comparison of crimes motivated by race. Are those the same as other comparable crimes. Or are they worse because of the motive?

It's domestic violence. Period!!!! It's very sad that we are arguing whether this is honour killing vs domestic violence. The sad fact is that women are being murdered by men in domestic violence. Edited by WestCoastRunner
