Okay...I just couldn't....resist Twas, the month before Christmas and all across the net Spammers were posting causing me to fret Sentimental postings, that were in all caps, Despite the fact that they  mostly were crap Crowding up the information medium With poetry so repetitive it borders...

Actually its: 3.3L V6 - 200kW Front (123kW)+Rear(50kW)=173kW So if you look in terms of horsepower, yes they are less powerful, but if you look in terms of force the electric motor develops higher torque (465 N.m vs. 287 N.m).  In addition given the faster response of an electric throttle...

I don't know if Harper has no personality, his preformance at the Press Dinner a few years a while back was quite good, I think all in all he takes himself far to seriously.  That being said the Conservatives seem to have a real problem with giving details on their platform, there's nothing...

All Fun and Games until Someone Loses an Eye - Christopher Brookmyre, his books are kinda like a literary Guy Ritchie film- what I should be reading is Chemistry: The Central Science 10th ed, (farkin thing wieghs more than my laptop) ::)

The reason Audrey McLaughlin was chucked had more to do with the NDP going from their best showing in Parliament (43 seats) to a paltry 9  seats in the 1993 General Election.  That and being from Whitehorse she really didn't have many friends within the unionist base.  Many people felt that Dave...

This has alway been the problem with union activism, and especially ties between Unions and the NDP.  The big unions in Canada, CUPE, PSAC, CAW have all been so successful that they've managed to move their members out of the Lower and into the Middle Class, with some "Blue Collar" workers...

Fair enough, the only problem is that as a policy point in an election it doesn't really sing, plus it has a great potential for other parties to put out disinformation, as evidenced by this exchange.  The only other problem is that what your trying to promote is preventative health through...

The problem is, that we have an aging population, which will require more and more health care, for whom preventative medicine is not an option.  I agree with the value of preventative medicine, however, there are any number of serious illnesses that bear no relation to healthy living, or...

The problem with personal medical savings accounts, is what happens when you deplete the funds in your account?  If the answer is you pay to make up the difference, people aren't going to go for it.

Hate to smash into your fuschia sky reality here, but the Liberals have managed to elect more MP's outside of Ontario than the Conservatives have outside of the Western Provinces.  Whilst some of the issues that you have mentioned are national issues, let's face facts.  The manner in which the...

...and my response, to your response is that the anchor in Liberal ideology is staying in power as long as possible.  Also I wouldn't put it past the Liberals to attempt to change precedent by attempting to have the GG ask them to form a coalition witht the NDP.  What would happen if the GG was...

Wasn't getting at that scenario.  Of course under the precendant set by King-Byng the Conservatives would be asked to form the government.  What I was getting at is that a Conservative minortiy government, given the posturing that both the NDP and the Liberals have taking would last about as...

The only way the Conservatives can hold a minority is with the Bloc Quebecois holding the balance of power in the house.  If at the conclusion of this general election the Conservatives hold more seats than either the Liberals and the NDP but less than the two combined you will see a Liberal/NDP...

While the name "The Rifles" mat seem uninspried personllay "The Rifle Brigade" would have been a better choice, lets not forget that this is the same people that came up with the name "The Highlanders".  What I find interesting is the Brits can amalgamate regiments with hundreds of years of...

That's a pretty big accusation there Tex, you want to maybe back that up with some facts.  'Cause I sure don't recall hearing about a Canadian verion of C.R.E.E.P.

FWIW:  he was wrong a benevolent dictatorship under yours truly would be far better. ;D WHERE'S THE CONCUBINES DAMMIT?  However, I'm more partial to people get the government they deserve. I'll get back to practicing bellowing "Off with head!", now.

It was downhill right from the Jetskiing for Jesus incident.  Alot of Conservatives don't get it so I will say it again, the founding principle of a democracy is the electorate is never wrong ever.  If we have been stuck with the Liberals for 12 years the reason is that all of the other parties...

On another note it appears that Harpers GST cutting idea has been panned, by economists, the CTF however, supports the idea.  But then again get one drink into you and the Conservatives, the Fraser Institute, and the CTF appear to be one large indistingiushable mass.

Holy flying hyperbole batman!  I highly doubt that one can make any comparison to the Sponsorhip scandal ($355 million) to the conduct of any tinpot dictator, anywhere on the planet.  Furthermore there are substantial differences between the Martin government and the Chretien government, most of...

Does anyone really believe that the Conservatives will be any better.  Not having put your hand in the cookie jar because you're to short to reach it is not an indication of morality, its a symptom of being too short.  I guess what I'm getting at is patronage is as Canadian as Hockey and getting...
