The Conservative Scandal Sheet: Split from: Stéphane Dion Wins Lib. Leadership

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Please explain one thing though........how did you make the leap from scandals to policies??

That one has me stumped,...lots of Govt. policies, at all levels, from all political parties, can make me see red but, I would NEVER list them as a scandal.

Are you also that cheap and petty in the school research you do?

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce. What do think has made the lieberals so adept at propagating their dictatorship for so long?

Here's something that took me five minutes (if that):
I went to http://www.google.ca, searched +conservative +scandal and selected "pages from Canada".  The FIFTH link talks of a CPC "Scandal", the possible mis-use of funds during the 2005 leadership convention.  The first four actually refer to liberal party scandals!

Now, go to same site, and search for +liberal +scandal and see the difference

Carry on.

No it isn't.  It's a difference in policy and who are you to judge?  

 

[ArmyRick]

Thanks.  I have had three exams in the past two days, including one at 7pm tonight.  I am sorry that I have prior commitments that preclude writing on this site.

The personal attacks are not necessary.  But thank you for proving that it really isn't necessary to discuss this issue within this forum.  In fact, thank you for providing a great face for the CF.  Had you been able to wait one, I could have found the information you requested.

 

[George Wallace]

Aww!  Don't worry.  We did it for you.  See reply # 22.

OK. Let's talk about providing a great face. Maybe like the one above? ;D

Next time, be brief.  Just write: "I surrender".

No, thank you for using such a narrow brush with which to paint us all.  First you claim the CPC is scandal ridden.  Then you list five "scandals", four of which clearly are not (the fifth occured prior to them taking over the government).  Then, you decide you have no time to research.  THEN you claim it's not really scandal, but that you don't agree with their policies.  Now that stand would have been one of opinion; however, you didn't offer up anything as such until well after you've failed to provide even anecdotal evidence to suggest that the CPC is scandal ridden.  Your opinions are yours and you are free to voice them here or anywhere for that matter.  Stating stuff as fact and then failing to back that up, however, is not very noble at all.


Thank you, and have a great day.

And posting photos and insulting my education is very noble, indeed.

Well, I think you posted your photo first somewhere on the net, so.....


As for insulting your education, I agree, nobody's education should be insulted. 


BTW: who insulted it?  Or are you too tired to research that?

 

[George Wallace]

Whose Photo?  Whose Education?

Someone said that they were not a 3rd year Student......is that you? 

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Maybe he's talking about my Papa Doc Cretin comment.

I apologize. When I spell check Cretien, that's what it gives me.

 

[zipperhead_cop]

And posting photos and insulting my education is very noble, indeed.

And it is also insulting to engage knowledgeable people (I don't particularly include myself) in a debate, then indicate that you have so little regard for their opinion that you "can't be bothered to research".  At that time you transitioned from debater to opinionated satire subject.  Sorry.  You made your bed, enjoy the shiatsu massage option.
However, if you can manage to collect your pouty lower lip from the floor, intellectual discourse always carries the day and you can still redeem yourself.  Not your claim of scandal, but at least as a person who stays in a discussion and can acknowledge when they may have learned something.  If you want to suspend this conversation until you are finished your exams and can give it more time and attention, just say so.  We'll be here.....

^That would be the insulting comments.  I would appreciate we disregard arguments of this nature.

- I find the Conservative re-opening of the same-sex marriage debate to be scandalous.  Shamefully giving the constitution and the charter of rights the finger. 
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/12/06/dion-samesex.html

- Falling back to the reverse-onus clause, which has been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. (re: handguns and bail conditions). Again shamefully giving the constitution and the charter of rights the finger.

- Moving to remove the wheat board ability to be a one desk seller, when the recent election of Wheat Board governers favour maintaining the status quo five to one (8/10 board members).  Those board members were elected by the farmers with vested interest.  For a party that so vehemently supports grassroots democracy and democratic action, this makes no sense.

- The Quebec Nation debate:  His intergovernmental affairs minister was not kept abreast of the situation, and resigned over this issue.  He whipped a vote that could have long term impact on the sustainability of the confederation.  This is in direct contravention of the "values" that Stephen Harper was so vehement in espousing during the election campaign about free votes to be held in parliament.

- Without any substantive proof, removing Garth Turner from caucus.  Then moving to prevent him from running in Halton, even though his local riding association re-affirmed his candidacy even after his removal.  Real grassroots there.

These actions, and the actions of the PMO office, lead me to feel we have truly elected a one man show.  I do not like this. According to the dictionary, this is scandalous.
