newbie Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Do you Harper-haters feel better ignoring the facts of Canadian politics? Why do you call anyone who disagrees with you or Harper a Harper hater? I certainly don't hate the man. I just don't like his or the CPC policies for the most part. Quote

jbg Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Hardly. The only difference what party you are in during a confidence vote is whether the vote is being whipped. And, of course, it probably was. So, if Belinda did not want to vote non-confidence in the government, her *only* choice was to quit the party. There is nothing nearly as damning about that as switching parties two weeks after the election. Why did she need a Cabinet seat as an inducement if she was so principled?

I remember she got it, I just don't think I have ever seen where she demanded it. It could have been offered to her as a further snub to the CPC party by the Liberals, but that is a far cry from using as a reason to question her principles. Being offered it and demanding it are two different things.

It's more or less a better track record, wouldn't you say? Um...no. You can find 10 Liberal broken promises for every 1 of Harpers. Yet the Liberals were in power 13 years compared to the current 1 of Harper. 10:13 1:1 I would say there is a higher ratio of Conservative broken-promises:years-in-power than there is of Liberal broken-promises:years-in-power. Ofcourse these are hypothetical numbers. Although I would be interested to see how any govt really stacked up. See what kind of percentage of promises they actually kept during time in office.

tml12 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I'll agree with you that politicians break promises...no doubt about that one.

So far, Harper is not in the Liberal league although I'll admit he screwed up the income trust thing. His big screw up with Income Trusts was making the promise in the first place. Guaranteed, nobody will campaign on reversing the issue. Real, Canadians who *aren't* blind partisans will give him a pass. There truly was too much revenue being lost by conversions. Hard to argue with someboy who breaks a promise because keeping the promise isn't in the best interest of the electorate as a whole.

Totally based on the complete lack of content. To say "Real Canadians" or people who arent' "blind partisans" will give him "a pass" is complete hogwash. Not only did non-partisans, as well as partisans lose money but some conservatives lost money on this decision aswell, and they should all be holding him accountable, regardless of political affiliation. Then to insinuate that someone is not a "real Canadian" for gettting upset that their govt reversed their pre-election stance and made a decision that ended up costing them a lot of money, is beyond contemptable.

hiti Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Too much revenue been lost with the IT??? HA!! Or do you mean the monies being paid to RRSPs and RIFs for people's old age savings? Monies that would be taxed at a higher rate down the road when the funds were taken out of the savings plan. This is the revenue that Jimmie is so hot about losing? What an idiot the Minister of Finance is. Quote "You cannot bring your Western standards to Afghanistan and expect them to work.

hiti Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Many will cash in RRSPs to buy a house, buy something else, pay for kids college, etc and that is taxed at a higher rate. And of course there is another discussion on how government senior programs are clawed back if there is other earnings..... like RRSPs, plus having RRSP income pushes some into a higher tax bracket. So the idiot Jimmie using RRSP as his excuse to cancel IT was brainless. Your personal attacks on me are meaningless.

Ricki Bobbi Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Many will cash in RRSPs to buy a house, ... and that is taxed at a higher rate. Under the Home Buyer's Plan Canadians can withdraw up to $20,000 of RRSP money for the purchase of hteir first home without paying taxes, as long as they pay back the money over a fifteen year period. (Link) Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Your personal attacks on me are meaningless. What is the meaning of your personal attacks on our Finance Minister?

hiti Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 And I am sure that "everyone" who cashes in their RRSP to buy a home pays the money back. Yup. Just everyone is that well off in your world. Jimmie is a politician and has left himself open to the idiot label by his words and actions.

Just everyone is that well off in your world. They have to pay back $1,350 a year *at the most*. That is a little over a $100 a month. If people cannot afford those payments they are most likely earning in the lowest tax bracket and shouldn't be contributing to RRSPs in the first place.
