The benefactor of all this is the Liberal Party Of Canada. The Tories are going to fade
the New Democrats are supposed to be the official opposition yet they are absorbed
with themselves. They can't organize a leadership race let along prepare to operate
the country.
the Greens are little more than a lost dream. People are now trying to survive economically
let along get involved with carbon taxes and credits. In BC the carbon tax is going to be the
target of anger against the BC Liberals who are in fact conservatives in hiding.
People have had enough of the austerity programs and the changing face of the nation and
that in turn is because young people are waiting to pursue a dream, not listen to the
austerity measures of the current government.
You can punish, threaten to punish, you can tighten money supplies and what ever you want.
There is one or two things you cannot do and survive.
A government cannot be seen to be dismantling the social safety net while getting cozy with
business.
And you cannot kill the possibilities for personal dreams bad idea.
The Harper crowd are involved with both and that is being on the wrong side of history.
The problem we have is they all suck. We don't have anyone with vision to take this country
to the next step of future possibilities and when that happens voters turn on the ones in power.
They are the Conservatives and the tables are about to turn.
Since when has Cristy Clark been a conservative?

Another conservative furour over nothing.

Dear Colpy,
I need you to tell me whether I am a conservative or a liberal.
The following represent some of my views:
* The 1989 massacre at the Polytechnique in Montreal led to the registration of long guns. As a long gun owner, I felt great sympathy for the families of the women who lost their lives; I registered my long guns and at no time did I feel this was a loss of freedom or a conspiracy to confiscate.
* In a compassionate society every citizen should have equal access to health services regardless of employment or economic status. I support universal medicare.
* I support the military; however, I do not support pre-emptive war as a tool to further national self-interest or the use of military power as a substitute for reasoned diplomacy. For instance, I opposed the Iraq War.
* I too support free speech; I do not support attack ads or the belittling of dissent. Or, the silencing of opposition.
^ The use of torture as a means to extract information is an act of barbarism. No democratic nation should sanction its use.
* I do not view the environmental movement as subversive; it is at its essence truly conservative.
* I unequivically support Israel's right to exist; I do not support all its actions, settlements in Palestinian territory, or the mistreatment of civilians in occupied territory.
* I support free access to education especially at the university level for students of talent.
* I do not consider being a conservative synomymous with "machismo."
* I do not support prayer in public schools; endorsing by the state of a specific religion hinders the pursuit of knowldge. Evolution is the best model of our origins.
* I like many dogs but not all cats.
As always,
Spade

Of your eleven points, I agree (more or less) with eight.

Since the BC Liberals were hijacked by the BC Socred/BC Reform party. BC Liberals are conservatives is sheep clothing.

And corporate welfare and bailouts would have paid off the dept. Why are conservatives always picking on the poor and paying off their corporate puppet masters? As George Carlin said, "They want all the money and they are coming for your social security next." (and the Liberals are not much better.)

Yawn...

Your story never changes does it? here's a question for ya.. What do you think would have happened if Obama didn't bail-out the banks or GM?

Any idea how that would have impacted the average Joe?

Any thoughts at all?

GM took the money and built factories in China. Did the little guy benefit?

The banks took the money and gave it to their CEOs. Did the little guy benefit?

Detroit is a ghost town. Many of the once great manufacturing centers are ghost towns. Why is that? Could it be because those corporate welfare bums took the jobs off shore? Could it be because millionaires run the country and are more interested in protecting their own? Could it be that the wealth is being concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer corporations and people?

You know what boggles my mind more than anything? You shilling for the rich because in the end, they don't give a sh!t about you.

Nothing at all to stop you Cliffy from starting a manufacturing base in your kootenay home.
Then you wouldn't have to worry about the greedy ceo's cashing cheques and taking the jobs offshore.
You could pay high wages and look after all employees for life ever after.
It may take time to get all your permits and licenses in place though as no one wants any smelling smog producing factories where they live.
Good luck.

Typical conservative nonsense. We had the factories. We closed them not because people didn't want them but because the greedy corporations decided that it was cheaper off shore. We have an economy that is based on creating wealth from mindless consumerism. We have a created a culture out of mindless consumerism. We have more than enough resources and money to take care of everybody's needs. We don't have enough to support mindless consumerism and endless economic growth. What is killing us is that we are living far beyond our needs. All this technological crap we think we can't live without is not necessary and is detrimental to our physical and mental health.

Conservatives for years screamed bloody murder that the Liberals or Provincially the NDP
got elected with less than fifty percent of the vote. They ranted and raved and demanded
electoral reform, in fact they named a party after their agenda.
One day they went out and found a vehicle called to conservative party, they were able to
hide behind a respectable name. And a name is all it turned out to be, its that reform
agenda up to a point, hiding behind the old conservative name. The first thing they did was
drop the Progressive part of the old parties name, and the reason is they had no interest in
being progressive.
The other thing that is amazing, to be kind, is that they adapted well to the idea that they did
not get a majority of people voting for their agenda. Most Canadians didn't vote for them by
a long shot and divided center and left will oust them in the next election because enough is
enough, they are screwing with medicare and pensions and us older folks don't like that.
The reason is simple or reasons I should say.
one older folks also have a me first when it comes to essential living standards and there are
more old folks than there are conservative politicians.
Two the old folks fought in the streets in some cases to gain the benefits they have and be
damned if some pip squeak from Calgary is going to take a lifetime of achievement and give
it to managed companies from the USA.
Three the Canadian People will dislike them as much as they disliked Gordon Campbell
in BC.
Nope the reason the conservatives are becoming less popular is because the average voter
is starting to see right through them.
That would be the greedy generation with the me first attitude. Spend on me and let my grandchildren pay the bills. Don't spend any money on education but up my pension. Good way to drive the young right into the arms of the Conservatives.
Fiscally speaking Harper is right and even though he may be a lowlife he will win the next election because the majority of workers have had their fill of supporting both themselves and every other non contributor.

Cliffy collects a pension. No problems. At least until the rest of us get tired of carrying all the dead weight.

I had to be rushed to the ER for shot of methadone. The withdrawals were so intense I went into catatonic shock after 4 hours of the forum being down. Do you think I need to get a life?

Sorry Cliffy, I couldn't resist.

And who is going to carry your dead weight if you should get disabled by an accident or illness? Do you have a big enough stash to keep you and your wife for the rest of you life if something unforeseen should happen and take away your livelihood? Should we just take you out into the back forty and put a bullet in your head?

Sorry Cliffy, I couldn't resist.
You realize I was joking, eh.

I'm more in favor of a bullet than a life time of being a revenue stream for Big Pharms.
