Where'd ya get that?

 

[Gonzo]

Nah. We dont want an election. If we have one again, the Liberals would get a minority government. It would be a waste of time.

RE: Canadians are ready f

I always want an election. I love the spin and the lies and the backstabbing and the acts of outright cowardice. All the surreality of magic mushrooms with the brashness of bennies. It makes me happy. If I could, I'd have an election every day.

Most Canadians don't want an election though, according to most of the polls. It wouldn't accomplish anything, either...Gonzo is right about that.

RE: Canadians are ready f

Out here. I am a fan of talk radio and people seem not to want one as most callers seem to think it will be another Liberal Miniority again, anyways. Thats what will be the result, what people tell pollsters when they call and who they actually vote for, when they are in voting booth are two diferent things. People know Harper is a scary man.

 

[Reverend Blair]

People know Harper is a scary man.

He is. Plus he really needs to get a haircut. Or not....maybe he could just let it grow until he didn't look like the guy from the Dry Look can.

 

[dukee]

People know that Jack Layton and Paul Martin are scary men, too.

Boy, you guys are right. Fearmongering can be fun!

 

[PoisonPete2]

Let all the Gomery goo come to light. See if Criminal Charges can be brought against Politicians. Tar the Grits but fear the Harpees for they are Bush Babies. No election until we can produce a 3rd qenuine National Party.

Pete, you sound like you might be interested in Cosmopolitan party. Give them a Google.

This is not an endorsement, btw. I lost interest in them almost immediately. Everybody needs a home though, or at least a soiled mattress.

The only thing scarier than Harper is knowing that our PM is a thief, a liar and avoids paying Canadian taxes by using offshore ports for his steamship lines. All he needs to do now is kill someone and he'll be perfect.

BAAAA! BAAAA! BAAAAA! as Canadians line up to vote this scum in again.

 

[Gonzo]

What evidence do you have that our current PM is a theif?

 

[crit13]

Where would you like me to begin?

Or are you one of those people that believe that the Minister of Finance could have misplaced 250 million dollars and not know where it went?

Then again, they managed to lose over a Billion dollars under the HRDC fiasco.

Hmmmm

That bad eh? I have been looking around myself, anyone seen a decent political platform of any party, in any country, that might be a plausible alternative to what is currently offered here in Canada? This question is not out of cynicism but rather a thirst for diversity. I would like to see a fiscally responsible party that would not sell us out to another country with flimsy trade agreements and not join in lockstep to another countries foreign agenda while not selling out to Unions and becoming nothing more than a legalized mafia. Does such a beasty exist?

 

[Reverend Blair]

They weren't my cup of tea, Scape. That doesn't mean they won't be yours.

 

[missile]

I don't want an election..but fully expect to be involved in 2 of them shortly[our province has a minority govt and is hanging on by a thread!]We seem to have just cleaned up all those damn billboards,too.

I just wonder why the Canadian Government (with Martin as Finance Minister) gave Canadian Steamship Lines (Martin's company) $160,000,000 in 2003. Or is that just good Government?

The Canadian Action Party is pretty common sense. You might want to google them, too. I like a lot of their stances on critical subjects such as Canadian sovereignty.

 

[Scape]

Yeah, I ran as a candidate for them in the last federal election. Unfortunately common sense and popularity are not the same thing. Abrogation of NAFTA is not a crowd pleaser to people who think we should owe our existence to the American economy. Reforming the bank of Canada sounds like a lot of rocking the boat to people. It's a good plan having all three levels of government borrow directly from the bank of Canada at 1.5% but there are a lot of people with cash already who are making money off of the private banks making a killing that and don't want ideas like that to get popular.

The world is flat but even that will not put a CAP candidate in every riding if people have never heard of it and they have been around for 10 years now. I think people are comfortable enough with corruption the Liberals provide, let them have it.

 

[galianomama]

i sure as hell don't want to see a federal election any time soon....i could see having one in the fall at the earliest. we have the provincial elections in may which may provide some sport.
