When did the Conservatives get caught handing over bags full of taxpayer's cash in restaurants ?
Trudeau’s abortion move guarantees renewed debate within Conservative party
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
The Great Conservative Scandal is Nigel Wright trying to pay BACK the taxpayer $90,000.
You need to take a Poly Sci 101 course and learn the difference between liberalism and the Liberal Party. The Conservatives have been more liberal than the Liberals for decades.
Nigel didn't give anything to the taxpayers. He paid the money to a crooked senator that his boss had appointed to try to cover up his illegal activity. But that is only ethics, right? We are talking about cold hard cash here.
We could start with the 50 million of dollars of money that was supposed to be spent on the G8 that Tony Clement misappropriated.
Or should we start with the 3.1 billion dollars for public safety and anti-terrorism that simply went missing.
Or the millions of our dollars that he has spent on "Economic Action Plan" advertising for programs that don't exist.
Certainly not. They are all at fault here. Only platform policies and confidence votes should be whipped.
There is only one poll that counts.
And the Conservatives still draw more money, and will draw more votes.
WHAT has been discredited by "every reputable news organization"??
But you are correct there are one or two things on there that did not come from the Ministry of Truth..
Fair enough.....I researched it, and you are correct.
But it seems obvious to me in the clip that these are his own views as well.........
And you don't think this constitutes a platform policy?
They definitely do pull more money, but that doesn't discount the huge gains that the Liberals have made.
Whoever gets more votes in the next election remains to be seen. The polls sure don't agree with you right now though.
I clearly explained which ones had be discredited. Such as the "Quebecers are better", one. Even CTV, which generally runs more right wing, made a point to play the entire comment so that you can see that he was talking about his dad. How can you still put that forward as a reasonable point knowing that it is such a cheap hack job?
One of the "off the cuff" remarks....but he still said it, and it is still really stupid.
So of the 19 things I listed, you have a point on one issue.....
Fail.
To these guys??
The Ministry of Truth (CBC)
And the Toronto Star.
It does not, because the idiot claims the issue has already been settled by the SCOC, which is simply not true.
1. Yes, Nigel gave the money out to be returned to the taxpayer.......and the guy is SO straight and so frugal with OUR money that he refuses to file his own expenses.....he is a great loss to the gov't of Canada.
2. Every bit of which is accounted for, and NONE of which went into the pockets of political bagmen.
3. Went missing between 2001 and 2011.....who was in power between 2001 and 2006??? HMMMM??????? And there as NO evidence of wrongdoing, according to the A-G.
4. Yep. Not misappropriation, but stupidity. Happens with every gov't.
Growing the economy does help balance the budget.
If you are just going to throw as much **** as possible against the wall and claim victory because I can't be bother to deal with every last thing you say, then fine, you will "win".
Some of it is just you criticizing established Liberal Party policies, like the Carbon Tax(which is supported by a lot of very smart people).
Other stuff is just you disagreeing on this very point about abortion.
More **** right from the Conservative attack ads, like making fun of him for being a teacher(it is much better to be a life long partisan political lackey like Harper, right?).
Making fun of him for saying he stands for the middle class, just like every single other politician in the world?
The rest if just stuff based on the fact that he actually talks to people like a human being. He is willing to actually have discussions rather than just spout talking points like Canada's Dear Leader.
And the Globe and Mail, National Post, CTV.........
No reputable media sources would get behind the hack jobs that the Conservatives put out as attack ads.
So, the CBC then?
What does that have to do with whether it is a platform issue or not?
Who's name was on the cheque? Why was the source of the money hidden? This had nothing to do with the taxpayers.
That is questionable. Who do you think got all of the contracts to build these things? Why do you think it is ok for the government to misappropriate money?
Yeah, nothing wrong, just 3.1 billion dollars missing........
You act as if they spent millions of dollars to create a self promoting advertising campaign by accident.
They are pretty much the only non-profit news organization in the game up here.
Right wingers tend to think they are biased, but I really think it is more that right wing journalism like Sun News has veered so far to the right. For anyone who went along with them on that journey, pretty much anything else is going to be left wing to them.

Nope, I'm of the belief that he is an idiot who puts his finger to the wind without consulting his caucus and as a result suffers from Bozo moments.
Regarding process, of course we should demand more accountability, transparency and internal democratic practice from political parties and leaders, especially given the centralization of power in the Prime Minister’s Office over the last decades. There is, however, a world of difference between a prime minister gaming the Supreme Court appointment process and a party leader declaring that what was previously considered a “free vote” issue would now be subject to party discipline. The former profoundly erodes the norms and traditions crucial to the functioning of our Westminster system. The latter is a reflection of them.
Critics of Trudeau's abortion stance are missing the point

What does that have to do with your points about requiring MPs to vote a certain way?
