Or Social Credit.

There is at least one officer at my unit who started his career at your age. He is physically fit, and articulate. I feel secure under his command.

Why do you have a preference for a Conservative minority?

103 seats is a huge feat for an NDP leader. And after 8 years at the helm, he still manages 98% delegate approval at the recent national convention. This is in contrast to many political leaders, who seem to acquire more personal and political baggage with the passage of time. I agree with you...

One of the reasons that Harper has been so successful is that he's a strategic, long-term thinker. Your response suggests that you see Layton as similarly strategic in his approach. That impression of Layton would be consistent with the patience and persistence that Layton demonstrated in his...

I understand that it is early in the game. However, Layton is not hesitating to position himself well to the Left of the Canadian middle. His filibuster of the Canada Post vote was not popular according to the polls.

Former Harper colleague Gerry Nicholls asserts that the current Prime Minister is planting his political flag firmly in old liberal ground. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/1017059--stephen-harper-not-the-conservative-he-once-was

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1017664--tim-harper-have-we-become-a-conservative-country I have three problems with the article as a whole. First, the article quotes extensively from pollster Frank Graves. Mr. Graves failed spectacularly at assessing the actual election...

One of my biggest dislikes about political radicals is their tendency to be hypocrites. The far Left demands the right to march through downtown cores, disrupting traffic. They expect the right to close down businesses with strikes, and occupy university administration offices during sit-ins...

The article is not about a radical group protesting events. The article is about a radical group with a history of disrupting events.

There are numerous decades-long, or large sample size, studies suggesting regular physical activity reduces the risk of cancer. Example: http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/2001/06001/Physical_activity_and_cancer_risk__dose_response.25.aspx

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2011/06/29/patrick-bourgeois-reseau-de-resistance_n_887326.html Some people are enthusiastic about the royal family. Others are not. However, regardless of one's stand on the monarchy, Prince William and Kate have done nothing to merit "militant actions" aimed at...

The central issue here is clearly one of patriotism and respect for the fallen. However, there is a second issue. Namely, the stubborn determination of so many North Americans to tear down what little heritage we have. The reason that so many European cities are so beautiful is because they...

Folks have mentioned a lot of films that were well-written and well-acted.  Films that try to capture actual war, or attempt serious statements on human conflict. Paths of Glory. Platoon. The Deer Hunter. Those are all movies I remember and respect However, if I were to refer to the war movies...

That is a perspective that I had not considered before. Prominent men such as Conrad Black have more money than ordinary North Americans. However, prominent men also tend to attract more powerful enemies. A server at Kentucky Fried Chicken is unlikely to ever face the full legal onslaught of...

I try not to get too worked up about such polls. The fact that Canadians see health care as very important, does not mean that the public views the military as unimportant.

You may be right. Again, let's both stick to debating politics, and stay clear of the personal issues. That could well be. Remember I am not arguing for socialism, but a mixed economy. More property rights on reserves might be consistent with that. I gave the examples of the major political...

So the recruiters are thinking long term. I can see the rationale for that.
