stignasty Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 January 24th, 2006 No majority, but dangers lie ahead Statement by the Central Executive Committee, Communist Party of Canada, Jan. 24, 2006 While the Conservative push for a ruling majority was thwarted, Stephen Harper and his right-wing party managed to fashion gains at the polls on Jan. 23 mostly at the expense of the Liberals, winning 124 (of 308) seats in Parliament. Even though the Tories fell far short of the outright victory they had sought, there should be no underestimation of the harm that could result under a Harper minority government. The challenge now for the labour, peace, equity and social justice movements will be to strengthen mass extra-parliamentary resistance to prevent the Tories from implementing their reactionary agenda, and to bring down the government at the earliest opportunity. The Conservatives' tightly-scripted and heavily-financed campaign focused almost entirely on whipping up public anger at the ruling Liberals over the sponsorship scandal, while presenting themselves as the only alternative for “change” in government. They cynically misrepresented their positions on Medicare, education, Canada-US relations and many other issues to obscure and conceal their reactionary, pro-war agenda. For the most part, they managed to gag their more imprudent, red-neck backbenchers from spewing racist, anti-women, and Christian fundamentalist diatribes. The Tories' deceptive strategy was aided and abetted by the corporate-controlled media, which often behaved more like cheerleaders than journalists. This reflected the strong desire of most sections of monopoly finance capital in Canada to replace with discredited Liberals with a Conservative majority. http://www.communist-party.ca/news/Stateme...tion2006_1.html Quote "It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians." - Stephen Harper

lost&outofcontrol Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 stuff How about replying to the statement instead of copying it word for word which is by the way, against forum rules. All you have to lose is your chains!!! These guys are halarious. Is there any better entertainment in my life besides crazy commies? You wanna stop with the ad hominem attacks geoffrey. Quote

stignasty Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Posted March 12, 2006 Canuck E Stan The reason I posted it was to stimulate discussion. I had hoped there might be some variation from the "conservatives/liberals are bad" theme. I would argue that this falls within the spirit of the rule that states "All posts must contain some aspect of an argument or attempt to stimulate discussion. Simply posting a URL to an outside source or posting statements that are only one or two sentences long will not be tolerated and the post will be deleted. In addition, use the search feature to ensure that the topic you are posting is not already being discussed somewhere else in the forums." Other than the perceived breach in board protocol, did you have no other comment to make?

That's it. Quote "Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over 30 who is not a conservative has no brains." — Winston Churchill
lost&outofcontrol Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 I tentatively agree with most of the statement but I feel you could replace tories/conservatives in there with Liberal or NDP and it would be the same really. All three parties are getting closer to the center in a effort to appeal to the most people by becoming catch all parties. Quote
