Isnt it only counsellors that are elected ? I belief student council are apoointed by a nationwide organization. Students are also forced to join and pay dues

I suppose the constitution in 1982 was all in my head. I believe we had a "terms" of Union on as well Im not proud to be  a canadian, and if we could manage economically quite well on our own I would say seperate, but to seperate npw isnt very smart. Newfoundland is part of Canada now, so might...

Ok, first it isnt as easy as using cable, its very expensive and difficult. It was partly smallwoods fault, he was no lawyer. But Quebec clearly took advantage of us. It may have been different if we werent a province, it may have been a deal between country and country, not province and...

No offence, your probably (maybe not) some guy living out a long ways from here. Well, Quebec said we couldnt transport power over their territory unless they got most of it, so our hands were tied.

Dont call me canadian. Smallwood signed it, and Newfoundlanders only supported it because they wrongfully associated self rule with the depression and wanted better living conditions

How Trudeau'esque of you  ;) h, I suppose BC's forests are hers, and alberta's oil is hers, but our oil isnt.About the vote rigging, the difference was 7000 and there was vote rigging> I dont know how many ballots were in the boxes, so who knows ? You obviously wanted us, as the canadian...

In my view Newfoundland has every reason to be upset. Newfoundland , like Alberta, depends largely on Natural Resources and it seems since we joined Canada they have mismanaged or taken away all our resources, not to mention some neighboring provinces take advatage of us. So, here we are with...

I'll say it again, democracy is only truly a model democracy if people participate, and it appears here, like many campuses, that fringe groups got into university and became active while the rest of the student body focused on work and partying, and became oblivious to the going on's on...

Yeah, as said before the military began to fall into disrepair during Trudeaus regime. Percentage of GNP spent on the forces continually went down in the 70's under trudeau. My dad was in "Mobile Cmmand" then, and he said they had old equipment from the 50's and on exercises they couldnt fire...

I found it was solid enough, but it was wearing down, especially after Morgan left. I did find their humour disproportionally in favour of the left, even more so with the addition of Alan park. They had a good run, longer than most CBC programs, they should be proud. As for 22 Minutes that show...

Not a chance. Yes, Dion has integrity and is a smart man. Dont judge the guy on his poor(but improving) english I wont vote for him on the issues: -He's a staunch federalist. and I am not -He's against Conservative spending on the military, But I am for Conservative Military Spending -He's...

In response to the beginning of the topic dont forget that Quebec has a consistent record of being largey against Canadian combat missions.From the beginning of this mission at least 75% of Quebecs population has been opposed to the mission, and I feel a large proportion of the total number of...

One suggestion I heard from a conservative is that harper was using it as a powder keg. The idea is that he was planning to let the opposition hammer hm and hammer him and then let it blow up in their face. What do you think of that idea ?

You have to stay rather vigilant on University Campuses. Small fringe groups are very often active in student government, and views are put forward, often in "Laws" that dont reflect the views of the majority of students. All you can so is stay vigilant and try to be involved. These reflect the...
