You mean they are not the same person??  Really?

The Canadian population doesn't want to move en masse to the US unlike the Mexican population.  I have visited the US a bit and despite the fact that under NAFTA I am free to move there, have never considered it.  To say that Canada has a bigger terrorism problem than Mexico ignores the tens of...

Replacing old buses is great.  Building new passenger rail lines leads to perpetual future losses.  I'm not sure that passengers can afford operating costs much less any recovery of capital cost.

But withholding consent is entirely within the Constitution.  I don't think anyone can dispute a nomination but if Obama doesn't nominate someone acceptable to the Senate, they will be rejected, just like the Constitution intended.  Obama could easily have a nominee approved.  He just has to...

GDP - $1.5 trillion Stimulus spending promised $ 10 billion 7/10th of 1 % $285 per capita That will stimulate nothing.  I suspect that much of Trudeau's infrastructure spending will be social infrastructure that will come with future costs that will make us poorer.  He has done an elephant dump...

Moderate Jeremy Corbyn?  Are there 2 Jeremy Corbyns?

It doesn't matter if Saudi Arabians have anything to do with the wheat board.  If they have something profitable to offer, farmers will deal with them, if not they won't.  How hard is that?  Most of the farmers I know deal with a newer grain co-op, not the old de-cooped Wheat Pools.  If the...

Membership was made compulsory for Western Canadian farmers in 1943 via the War Measures Act. I don't think anyone cares whether or not there is a wheat board.  I think what drove people nuts was that at some points a farmer could get twice as much delivering to a US elevator as little as a few...

The Canadian Wheat Board was a Bolshevik joke that in no way operated in the interest of grain farmers.  It was started during WWII to make sure farmers weren't paid too much money for their grain and for some reason wasn't ended like all other war measures.  The Wheat Board played a marketing...

Every president other than Obama who has faced a hostile Congress offers compromise to govern successfully.  Obama is more belligerent than the Republican Congress.  Unless there are mutually advantageous trade-offs, nothing gets done.  The senators and representatives need something to take...

You mean will they do the same thing a Democrat Senate did to President Bush in 2008?  Probably. http://www.politico.com/story/2008/03/nominations-staredown-in-the-senate-008839

"All 11 individuals face federal felony charges of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through force, intimidation, or threats" I can't see why they are guilty of anything other than civil disobedience.  Wasn't the building closed for the...

I don't recall Harper trying to force anything.  The Northern Gateway Pipeline submitted a request to the National Energy Board which held hearings and approved the project with conditions.  Based on the National Energy Board approval, the applicable minister approved the project.  I am not sure...

I suspect the police would take an interest in said items and the store owner could go to jail for possession and selling of prohibited weapons.  If they are truly toys like nerf nunchuks they would be okay but fully functioning items would be problematic were the police to be aware.  This isn't...

In Chretien days, when the Alberta government said that Alberta prosecutors would not enforce some firearms legislation, the federal government indicated that federal prosecutors would do so.  I don't know what was the ultimate result.  Harper, on reaching power, declared by executive order an...

I think that as the campaign dragged on voters began to perceive how creepy Mulcair truly was.  Close to the election I saw him as odder and odder.

Keynesian economics?  The interesting thing is that you don't have to do anything to provide stimulus for the economy other than govern responsibly.  The system works automatically.  When the economy craters, revenues go down and social program spending goes up.  The system simply responds with...

1. The Nazis were democratically elected. 2. You were the one that said Elected Racist = Legitimate 3. Nazis and Muslim Brotherhood?  One and the same.

Cute - I love people that love their country
