because we allow them too.

Nope. He runs 2 offices. If Injuns can't come to the MP, the MP must go to the Injuns. Check the demographics of his riding. Injuns voted him in.

BTW, he has 5 kids and flying them around ain't cheap but it's still a justifiable expense.

Of course it is...... It's not an expense any other work place pays for, but what the hell. It's only taxpayers money.


Know what's ironic? If he flies his kids around on the taxpayer dime.... what the fu ck is he doing whining about Trudeau and his holidays?

Who cares?


I think it's awfully unfair that a candidate can't become P.M. unless he/she speaks French. There are a lot of top jobs in government that you have to speak French to obtain. It is a shame that some intelligent individual who would make a positive contribution is lost because of this inane rule.
Since we HAVE to have official bilingualism even though most of Canada is English speaking, I don't see why an interpreter couldn't be used.

That sh*t was supposedly settled on the Plains of Abraham back in 1759 when Wolfe defeated Montcalm..................why weren't they squelched then?

There is no "law" that states that an MP can't become Prime Minister if he is uni-lingual.

and what "shyte" would that be? I gather you really don't know your history and what the English gave to the French living in Lower Canada, even after they lost.

Olearys smile alone removes him from any consideration in my little book. He's pure sick, running sores and all, I'd kick his head in as soon as I got the chance. Her's a piece of shjt. He should be in a garden helping the frlowqwers.

It's not a matter of knowing f**k all, it's a matter of sh*t happening that should never be allowed to happen. I would say the French should be allowed to remain, if they wanted to learn English, otherwise back on the boat bound for France. That would have been more than fair.

bilingual goes both ways
non?
would the french vote for an english only candidate?
if it meant lower taxes, better services, and a better chance for their kids
betcha many would

Heck, the English voted for Chretien and he couldn't speak the language
lol, anything is possible

'At age 12, Chrétien suffered an attack of Bell’s palsy, which left one side of his face partially paralyzed. He would later remark that he was one politician who didn’t “speak out of both sides” of his mouth.

it actually appears it may have worked in his favor instead of being a deficit

Kevin O'Leary is just doing the having fun in politics mode,and I hope he has fun flexing his business brand,
I think he is a reality star,and plan on watching what goes on with him on the political race,I hope the soapboxes are entertaining as we gather momentum
I am more interested in Mrs.Olearys fashion

He's accomplished far far more in his short life than you could ever dream to achieve. Does that make you an even bigger idiot or just lazy. Personally, I think it's a generous helping of both


What's he accomplished, that the taxpayer hasn't funded?
