I guess it depends on what the information is.  The consequences of breaching that "agreement", which seems designed specifically to cover up stuff, isn't all that dire (termination of employment, pay back termination pay, etc).  I don't imagine Soudas is too worried about that.  If the "goods"...

I agree this would be ideal, and presumably the "predictable, stable long-term funding" promised in CFDS was supposed to allow this.  But that predictable, stable funding didn't last very long....

:nod: Absolutely true!

And is that not the main problem for those countries not called the United States?  The F-35 will eventually turn out OK, and it will be able to conduct some roles amongst an Air Force with hundreds of aircraft and many different specialized assets.  However, for countries that need it to do...

The PM was never going to appoint any senators right before an election, so this "announcement" is nothing new at all.  As Mr.Campbell has correctly pointed out, there is a "right answer", and attriting the Senate in this manner is not it.  Yet another case where he is announcing something which...

Personally I don't think this has anything to do with Adams and everything to do with Soudas.  Not to say that the following has actually happened, but I can certainly picture a scenario when he has said to the Liberal Party "I have the goods you want - but the price for access is that Eve gets...

Oh, so THAT type of fraud is OK then.....

I know it may seem counter-intuitive, but it is actually not the easier quickest passage to the Beaufort Sea.  While it is marginally shorter than going from Halifax (Alaska is big), there are no places to get fuel north of Dutch Harbour in the Aleutians.  Using Nuuk, Thule (in Greenland) and...

Oh come on.  It is hardly "only the CPC members" that make the news - there are always articles on any Liberals and NDP members that get in trouble, particularly in the print media.  Do you think that the media is being too hard on the CPC when they report members that are carried off in...

You conveniently forgot to include in your quoted piece the suggestion that actually addresses that issue:  When you set up an MMP system, fill the PR portion in order of the number of votes they received in the actual election (of the non-winners in a riding, obviously).  That way, the...

LOL, the 60% refund they tried to get from Elections Canada would have been taxpayer money. Listen, there really is no point continuing this discussion.  You are never going to waver from the "CPC excrement doesn't smell" argument, no matter how many members get charged or sent to jail.  Harrigan

Concur.  With ice conditions prevalent at various points all down the Eastern Seaboard as well as the Arctic, makes more sense to base all the AOPS in Halifax.  No ice in the Pacific.  Presumably that is why the CCG has all their icebreakers in the East. Harrigan

Mr.Campbell, I think you are right on all counts here, and have touched on a wider philosophical issue which is significant: Is this what we want from our government, of any party?  I personally have no problems at all with this particular govt when they put out good policy - that is why...

His dislike of Harper is no worse or stronger than the professed dislike of Trudeau on this site by many more posters (Mulcair less so).  Kilo just happens to be in the minority here. Harrigan

This is precisely why I don't believe claims that Iran was ever 2 months away from a workable bomb.  In my opinion, the only thing that one can take to the bank in the Middle East is that Israel will strike if a threat is actually imminent, not rhetorically imminent.  Besides, there will never...

Personally I think that particular concern with "list candidates" is a red herring - if a Party has a list of candidates that they want as MPs, some of those that don't make the PR cut for "listed" MP seats will still be working for the Party after the election in some way or other, and having...

1.  Pure PR systems are awkward, for sure (as is pure democracy).  But my understanding is that the NDP prefers MMP, which is a hybrid system which includes geographical representation AND proportionality, thus not threatening representation at all. 2.  You have given an excellent summary of...

You might be right, but as we have never had a federal NDP government, we don't know how they'll react if they were to win.  I tend to agree that all politicians are more or less the same, but we can't say "Well, if the Liberals and Conservatives do it, then obviously the NDP will do it too). ...

I do.  Exactly why would Iran commit national suicide by attacking Israel with a small number of nuclear weapons when Israel has so many more and would obviously retaliate?  It doesn't make any sense at all. Harrigan

So Mr.Simpson posits that because of one favourable provincial result in Alberta, the NDP should consider throwing away a policy plank that has distinguished them from the Liberals and Conservatives for years (decades)?  I would imagine the NDP recognizes that it is not likely to become the...
