The NDP reimbursed Elections Canada for this.  The Conservatives are refusing to reimburse Elections Canada. That's one difference.  The other is that the Conservatives did the in and out scheme large scale and refused to pay or reimburse the tax payers.  I would encourage you to watch on CPAC...

Wow for someone who throws around the insults you really should not.  That applies to GAP also.  Operation Iraqi Freedom is not UNAMI.  Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched in March 2003.  The United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) was not created until August 14, 2003.  Remember the...

Sure but that still doesn't give it any more legitimacy for Georgia to violate the sovereignty of a country that never attacked it. 

Wow stop the presses!  This is way bigger than the Conservatives transferring thousands upon thousands of dollars in and out of accounts, which could be called fraud or even money laundering by some.  Please explain why you would only need to keep money in an account for less than 24 hours?  Why...

Has no one noticed the irony of Georgia violating Iraq`s sovereignty by participating in the Iraq War in 2003?  It's fine for Georgia to invade other countries-but heaven forbid if they are invaded?  Not hypocritical at all.  Very little sympathy for them and their playing the violation of...

No I realize the Soviets were active in South and Central America-though mostly indirectly as part of the series of Cold War proxy wars.  There was no need to train the Contras when you could get the Cubans to do it for you.  I am talking about right now.  The U.S thinks that the Monroe Doctrine...

Not sure what you mean exactly.  Please elaborate on what Russia was doing in the Baltics.   

I disagree.  The Caucus region is within Russia's sphere of influence and they are entitled to their own Monroe Doctrine in that region, just as the U.S is entitled to exercises its discretion in the western hemisphere, whether it is Panama, El Salvador or Grenada (remember in 1983 when the U.S...

Not really tensions have been quite high between the two for a long time, especially the past year.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BypnhFI7HGY  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZtIjN78T4A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2WcXZ9oWnoThe Russians were merely probing in the event the hostilities...

Ossetians are essentially a Christian Persian or Iranian ethnic group.  They are kind of like the Kurds in that they do not have an independent homeland.  This conflict presently, is merely a continuation of the first major Georgian-Ossetian conflict that took place from 1918-1920.  Many...

Just to be devil's advocate.  I assuming that many folks on this site support the U.S incursion into Afghanistan and Iraq.  How come we are willing to accept that American self-defense extends thousands of miles from it borders, but when Russia intervenes in a neighboring country such as...

There is only evidence of the later.  Harper chose a minimalist interpretation of the recently altered Environmental Assessment Act.  Harper rather than overruling a court or a board or agency chose not to enforce significant provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act.  He signed off an a...

It's the Governor-in-Council bit.  It was a cabinet order. To quote Mr. Campbell: Perfect. I have heard rumblings that Power Corp was involved in the recent wireless spectrum sale?  Does anyone know if this is true?

Sure.  Sorry I missed your request.  http://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/2008/2008fc302/2008fc302.pdf  http://www.financialpost.com/related/links/story.html?id=500315...

I am not from the Rock and I fully concur.  Danny Boy has more balls and brains than the entire House of Commons put together. 

Who was the candidate for Liberal Leadership that had to drop out because it was brought to light that he received the Maximum allowed donation from a liberal businessman, his wife, and his little kids? Joe Volpe.  In a strict legal sense, no laws were broken.  That's not why Volpe dropped...

I'll provide a citation once you provide one for Chretien and Trudeau intervening on behalf of Power Corp.  Fair is Fair.

How so?  It's all right for taxpayers to spend billions subsidizing companies, but they are not entitled to any of the profits?  Answer me this.  But the governments and the people are investors when the subsidize industry no? 

I am not denying that. never did, never will.    Indeed I have read George Grant's Lament for a Nation and support his mediation.  But your assertions are irrelevant now given thenew electoral laws.  All the parties are on even ground now.  No party gets money from big business anymore for the...

I don't think that was not the main reason, otherwise they would have been tossed from office in 1997.  I think it had to do more for Canadians opinions of the Conservatives and Brian Mulroney at that particular time in history.
