At one time Alberta Forestry Officers could get permission to carry, usually a privately owned .44 magnum as a bear banger but no more.  Now they often pack a 12 gauge and slugs so as not to be bear kibble or they mostly just take their chances.  The fish cops, however, get issued 9mms. for...

Yeh Yeh!  They prorogued Parliament and eliminated the long-form census, thus ending civilization.  You've bought.  I suspect a critical 39 % hasn't.

Damnedest thing.  You elect a Conservative government three times in a row and they appoint conservative judges.  The word you should be looking for is democracy.  I get sick of judges pulling the law out of their rears to satisfy a personal moral imperative.

Some people have to use  whatever ammunition they have when they lose three very democratic elections in a row.  So who is supposed to believe that Harper is undemocratic?  The 39 % of the people who democratically elected him?  Barlow is preaching to the choir.  It's just like Craig Oliver...

I am conservative and coincidentally Conservative.  Far from taking away anyone's freedom, the government employed scientists can do research for anyone else in the world.  I guess they have to work for private industry to find out how much freedom they really have.

Brought to you by the people who make their living on the public teat.  They think they should both take the money and control the agenda?  I don't think so.  I have trouble understanding how scientific evidence could encourage someone to vote one way or another.  The logic does not follow.  Why...

Bullshit!

But the Liberal, Mackenzie-King, LOST the election but wouldn't resign.

If Sutherland has a house here, he is a Canadian resident, regardless of primary residence.  Being a Canadian resident, he had better have been paying Canadian income tax all along or he is going to talk himself into a lot of hurt.

The scenario of who takes power if a Conservative minority is defeated in Parliament is irrelevant.  A new election is the only possibility.  I am confident Harper asked the Governor General before appointing him what he would do in such a situation and Harper recently re-appointed him to a 2...

A question out of the blue.  The Conservative attack ads on Trudeau appear to be working.  What do they have in store for Mulcair once the writ has been dropped?  It must be something good to account for the Conservative patience.

The Liberal Party has absolutely nothing to gain in a coalition with the NDP.  Being a junior partner to the NDP might signal their irrelevance to voters.  The next leader of the Liberals might actually be electable and it will be business as usual. I see the Media Party is whining about...

Not so sure about that.  The NDP doesn't seem to have any doubt where they stand. CONSTITUTION OF THE New Democratic Party of Canada Effective April 2013 "New Democrats seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of Canadians who, within the social democratic and...

Some random website I discovered on the internet.  I cannot attest to its veracity but delete it at the first possible moment if it doesn't ring true. http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=60622

I saw a report on this at CTV Pravda and was scratching my head as to how the Conservatives by reporting a fact was promoting terrorism.

Corporations may write the cheque for taxes but it is largely the consumer that pays them.  There is only one reason to have corporate taxes in Canada, to tax foreign investors.  A Canadian investor gets most if not all the corporate income taxes back as a dividend tax credit when he files his...

Any discussion of government debt in Alberta is pointless because Alberta has an embarrassment of revenue.  It has just been so badly managed.  Ralph Klein balanced the budget when oil varied from $10-$30 per barrel.  Without even looking at efficiencies, Alberta overpays its employees by over...

Justin Trudeau's Concession Speech? "Justin Trudeau: I'll end ISIS combat mission, restore relations with Iran" https://ca.news.yahoo.com/justin-trudeau-ill-end-isis-231934956.html I see he inherited his old man's backbone. If he's trying for the Arab Muslim vote - they hate Iran more than...

The Governor General chooses the government normally based on election results, Parliament can only fire it.  What about party constitutions?  A party that doesn't stick together and make their compromises in caucus will soon be toast.  Whatever the law says will be totally ignored, of...

Chong's Reform Act Apparently this is supposed to be a great democratic step forward but it looks to me that professional politicians are seizing power from party membership that selects or deselects the leader.  I think this could take a while to cross the Governor General's desk - like never...
