With the Conservatives having more MP's than the IlLiberals or the NDP put together doesn't any coalition have to have the explicit participation of the Bloc and not just implicit agreement from them?

I really can not believe that two parties who have called themselves federalists since their inceptions are now not just looking to the separatists to help them gain the government they did not win, but to prop them up for favours to Quebec to the detriment of the country. The language filters...

Thanks Thucydides, extortion, that is the word I've been searching for for the last couple of days.

Ok, and we both agree that is a bad idea, so instead Chretien came up with the idea that the most votes = the most money.  But there is no freedom in that.  There is no will.  In typical liberal fashion the "solution" is force fed down the throats of the people who have to pay for it like it or...

Except under campaign finance laws they can't do that anymore either.   The responsibility to fund political parties has been given to the individual.  The reforms by the Liberals in 2003 started the work but they screwed the taxpayers to try and give themselves a boost (largest # of votes...

Why? With the US, the EU, China and practically every one else stimulating their economy, with Canada being a natural resource exporter, the already lower Canadian dollar easing the burden for our manufacturing sector and a banking system that has avoided most of the problems seen in other...

So you believe that without stealing our taxes that there are not enough liberals, NDP and Bloc supporters to donate to their own parties?  What kept them afloat before Chretien decided to steal our taxes to pay for his party (it was the largest at the time and therefore got the largest share). ...

The reason the Tories are successful in raising money has more to do with the mindset of their constituents than anything else.  A conservative says to himself "Hm, this is worth fighting for... I think I'll support the worthy cause" <opens wallet>. The socialist (Liberals and NDP being just...

Well MCG the majority certainly did not vote for Stephie DeYawn, and they certainly did not vote for Iggy Liberal King in waiting who could not even run for the top job during the election. As far as Chretien and Broadbent playing kingmaker that should show all Canadians what this is about. ...

Rodahn, do you think that the Communist party of Alberta would support the PM just because he's from Calgary? Come on.  Labour unions are overwhelmingly against Conservative governments, always have been always will be.

Take a good hard look at the second chart here. If you think that western Canada is going to roll over and be left with a socialist government that they overwhelmingly rejected you're smoking dope. Look at the numbers 71 CPC MP's 7 Liberal, and 14 NDP. The separatists in Quebec may get their...

No matter what happens in order for a coalition to be formed the Governor General would have to ask for it and in my opinion that would mean the death of that position in the Canadian Democracy. I do not think that most Canadians are prepared to see their vote be overturned by what amounts to...

Pulse U strikes again.  [sarcasm]I'm so proud of my former alma mater This is the final result of white mans guilt, and stupidity...

To quote Col Sherman T. Potter... "Horse Hockey!" Affirmative action is a construct of the progressive camp.  It has little or nothing to do with merit or any real sense of liberty and equality but is an apologist action for the sins of the father. Education policy is not shared by...

You have got to be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ me.

Crack, it's not just between the cheeks of your butt anymore...

It wasn't my war, I never had the opportunity to go, so I won't step into the purely national debates of any of the countries that did pony up as to whether they should have gone or not. I will only say that had my country decided to participate I would have gone and willingly. Saddam was the...

Just to add to Thucydides post, the Freedom Party of Ontario/Canada is the brain child of Paul McKeever, an Objectivist.  He's got tons of videos on Youtube and his website on a variety of political subjects, check them out. Political activism isn't for everyone, but it is in all of us to...

Steel Horse my question for you is this.  Can you think of a single service that you and most other people want but is not provided by private industry? From babysitters to poop scoopers if people need it someone will find a way to do it and make money at it. Most people consider the...

LuvsMud, the comment about past mistakes was raised by me and others because someone tried to insinuate guilt by way of the members histories. The work environment was something I walked into upon my return to that place.  It was my personal interpretation and based on first hand knowledge. ...
