Everybody talks about if these parties merged or if those parties merged, or if a new party were created, etc. that that would somehow change things in Parliament beyond just party names and logos. I'd argue that in reality nothing of substance changes. To take an example, let's say riding X...

Now that the security bill alone for the G8 and G20 summits this year has reached 1 billion Canadian dollars in response to the regular disruptions of these summits every year around the world, and considering that the existence of the UN really makes these summits redundant anyway, should...

In another thread there was reference to the need to giving the UN teeth, but no specifics. So for those of you who think we need to give the UN or some other similar organization teeth, what kind of teeth would you give it? I realize some want to replace the UN or at least revise it, but if...

Single non-transferable vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Your thoughts on this voting system? A few advantages I see with it are: 1. Like FPTP and unlike party-lists, it doesn't block independent candidates from runnig. 2. Like FPTP and unlike many other systems, it's easy for the...

Interesting story: YouTube - Woman Converted To Islam After Her Capture By Taliban - INCRDIBLE STORY! Part 1

YouTube - Islam vs Christianity (see the christian missionary losers) Of course I'll admit that based on the limited knowledge I have so far, this video might have been fabricated. And if anyone has any more input that could shed more light on this, I'd like to read about it. The video...

I'd have an extremely hard time believing that the US government staged 911 as a red flag operation. At most, I could see the government being aware of an impending attack and choosing to ignore it. And even that I'd have a hard time believing. That said, I think it should be obvious to most...

IN WWII, Canada's arms industry was suffering from a severe labour shortage owing to government demand for military hardware outstripping the ability of factories to find enough workers to meet the demand in the midst of a booming economy with full employment in all sectors. The Federal...

With all the concern over equal rights, when will this civil rights issue finally come to the fore?

Seeing that some seem to insist on blaming all Muslims for 911, I'd like to know how many here would actually support revoking freedom of religion for all Muslims. This would include freedom of Muslim association, establishing and maintaining Muslim religious organizations, building mosques...

With all the talk of Cabinet's power of secrecy, I was wondering, if we were to allow Cabinet to keep that power, if it would be a good idea to have Parliament elect the Cabinet. Here's how I could see it happening: Once a year, Parliament votes on an open ballot for let's say at least nine...

CBC News - Calgary - PM won't punish Shory over fraud investigation It would appear Harper has learned from the Guergis affair: Let the courts deal with it. Me Gawd, he can learn. But while Harper has learnt his lesson well, it would seem not so John Mckay; was the Honourable member of...

Seeing how fiscal irresponsibility on the part of one country can have a ripple effect across the world, just as fiscal responsibility in one country can help sustain its neighbours, should Canada propose that the international community develop a world-wide debt-fighting plan, whereby the...

I remember coming across an article yesterday online (on CBC News if I'm not mistaken) where, if I remember correctly, it was about the US, China, the UK, Russia, and France getting together to talk nuclear non-proliferation and pressuring other countries like Israel and Iran to get on board. I...

YouTube - John Major calls for an honest look at Government spending and debt

Seeing that with the wide disparity of wealth between the US and Mexico, it's not likely the US will be able to stop floods of illegal immigration any time soon, is the solution in fact some kind of new Marshall Plan like that in Europe after WWII? Let's consider that with a prosperous Europe...

Seeing that certain symbols can have multiple meanings depending on the user (a good example is the Swastika, used in various cultures across the world), and the cross (which can represent the Christian Faith as well as certain secular countries, and possibly other meanings too when shaped as a...
