By the time Prime Minister Mulcair works through funding his $18 billion of election promises, the party of pacifists is going to crash the defence budget and look at funding veterans as balanced against daycare and other more soviet promises.  Anyone voting socialist thinking they're getting on...

Such as not taking 8 - 10 years to approve something as routine as a pipeline.

Yes, but his lips are moving and you know what that means.

But the Red Star polls are always wonky. The Red Star poll of August 24 has the NDP lead at the expense of the Conservatives while the Angus Reid poll of the same day has it at the expense of the Liberals Red Star   NDP  40   Liberals  30   Conservatives  23 Angus Reid   NDP  37   Liberal  24...

Or not at all?  Most actions labeled suicide attempts are pleas for attention.  Committed individuals do not have failed suicides.

Or take a handful of probably the commonest non-prescription drug.  A bit slow but just as sure.  Should we outlaw those also? Only half of US suicides are with firearms.  Suicide rates per 100,000 US 12.1 Australia 10.6 Canada 9.8...

Or maybe using Australia as an example is so much bullstuff.  The US did better and gun ownership got freer during the period. Australia 1991 - 1.9  2007 - 1.3    31.5 % drop US 1991 - 9.8  2007 - 5.9    39.7 % drop http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/homicide.html...

Why doesn't somebody invent the Jeep?

Why do you keep making up stuff?  The US murder rate is very low on a world scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate Note that Mexico has twice the murders of the US with 1/3 the population.

Yes it should.  Would it be fair to say that the injustices are few and far between?  Whenever I see one of the stories that is supposed to tug at my heartstrings, it involves some non-standard treatment that the medical establishment is apparently too stupid to see the benefit in.  I remember...

But the Conservative Party only started in 2003.  The Progressive Conservative Party was a very junior partner.  The LSVW was from 1993.  The only way to judge future action by the Liberals is to look at the past.  Liberal Party election promises haven't had a great history of coming true.

The NDP are deep down  pacifist.  There is pretty close to 100 % chance the defence budget will be sacrificed so there will be heavily subsidized daycare and that's the way their supporters want it.  Incidentally most provinces already heavily subsidize daycare so it will essentially be simply a...

He didn't talk about balancing the budget.  He balanced the budget.

Isn't that the truth.  Paul Martin was one of the best finance ministers ever.  Trudeau - the best substitute drama teacher ever to lead a 3rd place political party. Anyone who is looking for military friendly policies from the Liberals or NDP is delusional.  The rhetoric has changed to win the...

The constant in North America seems to be that areas of low crime rate have the highest gun ownership rate.  In most of the cities with brutally high murder rates , it is almost totally prohibited for anyone to purchase a gun. The Detroit Police Chief recommends buying a gun to prevent being a...

NDP MP Pat Martin used donations from unions to pay off debt from defamation law suit https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/ndp-mp-pat-martin-used-donations-unions-pay-210359545.html And the Quebec Liberal Party paid Mulcair's libel lawsuit.  How exactly are these cases different...

Can anyone predict the outcome of Supreme Court decisions?  Much of the time Harper consulted retired Supreme Court judges, particularly in the Nadon case.  Is Harper supposed to quit governing in the face of an activist court.  He was elected, they weren't.

I still don't understand how paying back Duffy's questionable expenses is in any way undesirable from any point of view.  The NDP haven't paid back the expense money they stole to pay NDP staffers and are totally unapologetic.    Have the Liberal Sponsorship scandal amounts been repaid?  I don't...

First - Duffy owned a home in PEI and Wallin owned a home in Saskatchewan.  The Consitution Act 1867 says "shall be resident in the Province for which he is appointed."  Common law says that a person can have more than one residence.  Certain statutes define residence for different purposes but...
