Can be verified pretty quick, start arresting those doing drugs in public, stats would skyrocket.

Reported crime is at early 2000s level. Unreported crime is through the roof. It is just normalized to the point that people don’t report most things anymore. I can tell you I never saw someone smoking meth until 4 years ago, and that was on the side of the road. Since then I have seen it at...

Depends, he actually isn’t doing bad by any means. Even with the polls, he is doing what the Conservatives average at, even above the normal average. The Conservatives problem isn’t that they are running a bad campaign, it’s that the NDP are running a terrible one.

All he is normalizing is the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

My union voted to support the local Conservative candidate in the election, and as a Steelworkers union that is traditionally very strong NDP territory.

The real reason for illegal immigration in the states was the fact Americans were willing to employ them. No job, no money, no better future, no reason to immigrate. They could have stopped this years ago (both sides) by simply making it illegal to employ a illegal immigrant and anyone found...

Lots of ways to go about it, not necessarily all by electronics. It definitely is possible though, the Swiss have been doing it for centuries at this point. I happen to have faith in our plebs, there is a reason it is called the house of commons and it isn’t because it is supposed to be ruled...

I never cared for his policies, but during the debates I watched last election he was the only one with the decorum I expect out of a politician looking to be prime minister. Never watched the current debates but was it them all shouting over each other again or was there some actual proper...

A friend mentioned to me how by delaying the election the NDP likely caused their own demise. If they had not provided support in December yes the Conservatives would likely have won a majority but it would also likely have resulted in a NDP opposition. It would have broken the whole...

Nothing like surprising the enemy with Austro-Hungarian tactics

The general public really has no clue what our conditions are. They are fed mythos of great Canadian deeds from the past and believe they still apply to the present. I don’t think any political party is particularly serious right now. Talking about tax cuts in the middle of a 60+ billion...

I wonder if the leglislative could simply define cruel in the context of life imprisonment. For example I argue life in prison is crueler than simply putting someone to death. I also argue murdering someone (especially depending on the method) is crueler than life in prison. Ultimately the...

Meaford is always a nice place to host it…

Keep in mind the weaker the NDP, Bloc, and Green parties are, the stronger the Liberals tend to become.

Time for the judges to start holding members of the administration in contempt of court. Some time in jail might change some of their tunes. Maybe even make it in El Salvador.

Harper promised to kill the firearms act, ended up just toning it down to the long gun registry.

They generally aren’t the PMs powers. Our Senate, GG and the Crown give up their powers to the PM, they could stop any PM in their tracks if they so wanted to. Our issue isn’t necessarily our PM having to much power, it’s the other checks and balances refusing to act as such.

Honestly she deserved to be fired after that. As a soldier you are expected to perform your duties impartially and in a non-partisan manner. She chose to not act that way and much like MacArthur was shown the door. Seeing if she shall be charged will be the interesting part to this.

We shall find out if thats true election time. Right now Carney has a lot of shine to him, but as time progresses it is clear he is just following the same/extremely similar pathway as Trudeau. We are also being exposed to his personality which he had the relative advantage of being unknown by...

I wouldn’t say the exact definitions apply to any political party. The Canadian Liberals for example are not very liberal by definition. Policy wise the CPC basically line for line matches up with the American Democrats. Are there fringe elements in both parties which don’t line up? Yes. But...
