    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    The is nothing on the conservative web site in terms of policy save fpr aboput five pages of generic bullet-point statements.  I've looked to find their platform and I cant find it.  Suffice to say many of the old-time members of the Conservative Party have come from Reform and there are valid...

    National Strategy for Victory in Iraq

    Gee, didn't know it was possible to write a policy document composed almost completely in point form.  Needless to say the objectives outlined in required in this document are going to mean, a large porition of the American military commited to Iraq for a very, very long time.  I don't believe...

    Defence Policy in the 2006 General Election

    Do your own homework.  Go to the various party websites, read their platforms and make a decision for yourself.

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    Israeli politics is a pretty poor analogy to use in the case of Canada.  The dynamic in the Knesset is due to the issues that are faced (which do not translate to Canada) as well as the fact that members are chosen according to a "list" system whereby seats are allocated in terms of a precentage...

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    The only good that may come of it is tha hopefully they will learn a lesson about making theses kind of gaffes, early on in the campaign and undertake to avoid them in future.  The up side of this whole issue is that it happened on day one of a seven week campaing...an the public has a short...

    York U: Flower Power, Pray for Peace!

    Gee you're not an Arts student are you? Although I personally find with a Political Science degree more people are willing to pay me to work the fry machine than debate the Kantian dialectic between morality and reason. ;D That being said most of the people who are politically active on...

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    The media may be an issue, but don't forget when even when Lord Tubby threw the entire Southam media empire behind the Reform/Conservative Party, they couldn't get arrested in the 403 area coder.  The media and politics are pretty much similar, the both depend on public opinion for their...

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    The Liberals win time and time again because they are simply better a politicking than the other parties.  As for there being a large number of single issue voters as regards SSM, there are just as many voters who are as dedicated that will go to the polls with equal dedication, keeping Steven...

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    Harper soiled the bed...elections are not about the truth, elections are about shaping public perceptions and the Conservative party has to change the perception of it in Central Ontario.  Opening that entire can of worms was a bad idea, one that he should have been advised against.  I agree...

    Universities, the military, and political beliefs.

    Also, to a certain extent those individuals who feel themselves called to the profession of arms, are for the most part have more conservative political views.

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    As an election junkie...screw horse racing, politics is the sport of kings I am a little bit biased.  But I do think that his statement that Canadians are appalled at the idea of a Christmas election campaign, will appeal to some voters, largely because none of the other parties have been able...

    CF Pers and national political involvement

    I don't know if there would be a conflict of interest per se, but there is a general idea that serving members of the military, much like public servants, should not engage in party politics.  I believe this stems from the idea that they are servants of the crown and the crown must remain...

    Winter Election?

    Well I surely won't invest with anyone who says, here look at this, the numbers on this page don't support my conclusions, but trust me I'm right and if you don't believe me you're obviously simple.

    Winter Election?

    Who was it that said the art of politicking is to find out which way the crowd is moving and then get in front of it.  Stuff like this is how the Liberals became the "natural governing party".  The opposition parties have to realize that this is going to happen and have a strategy to counteract...

    York U: Flower Power, Pray for Peace!

    I started a second degree last year at 29 (first one was BA-Political Science), and I came to realize that the one trend all 19 year old undergrads share is ignorance and egotism.  I believe the best thing you can take away from a University education is how much you don't know.  The secondary...

    Winter Election?

    Operating Surplus/Deficit has nothing to do with the price of Tea in China, you made the statement that the Liberals created the debt.  Net public debt to me means that with surplus/deficit and servicing accounted for this is what you owe. So once again the statement that the national debt under...

    Winter Election?

    What those number show is that Conservative spending, including debt servicing was greater than all the combined spending of the Liberal Party over the years.  So the statement that Mulrooney contributed to the loins share of the national debt is in fact correct.  The national debt almost...

    Winter Election?

    My call a lib majority  ::)again.  My whole point is that conservative have to start blaming their party for their poor showing and not the electorate (I fail to see the correlation between western longitude and political wisdom).  What was that definition of insanity: reapeating the same action...

    Rifle Familiarization

    The C7 Training conducted on BMQ, is scored in accordance with the conduct of the practice for the PWT contained in the C7 pam.  I have not taught a BMQ so I am unaware of what the standard is for that practice (PWT I/II).  Infanteers are qualified to PWT III and other arms are qualified to PWT...
