Liberals in turmoil after defeating own motion on overseas abortion, contraception - Yahoo! Canada News In this article, we read about how there is some issue with independent Liberal MPs who'd chosen to vote independently of the party. Last I'd checked, MPs were supposed to represent their...

I was wondering about views on how non-consensual healthcare fits in with capitalist theory. In principle, in capitalism no contract is binding unless it's mutually agreed upon by all parties concerned and without undue pressure. The problem though is that when you're lying on the street...

Wouldn't the adoption of a Swiss military model help to put an end to much of the military debates in Canada? For example, with such a model, nearly each citizen would would be trained and equipped. Then, if a citizen wants of his own free will to work as a mercenary in this or that war, it...

Though I do not profess the Catholic Faith, or at least not anymore, I was born and raised Catholic and many in my family continue to profess the Catholic Faith. The whole time I'd gone to Catholic school and Catechism classes, I'd never suffered any kind of abuse at the hands of any of the...

With the debate reopened over the censorship of sexual orientation, what are your thoughts on the subject? While I can certainly understand the issue with soldiers engaging in adultery (whether heterosexual or homosexual), as that can certainly harm social relations, that's a far cry from a...

If it weren't for the Party, we wouldn't have the governments debts we have right now; interest rates would be lower; and inflation would be lower too. Education would e better, we wouldn't have all the ethnic conflicts we do, etc. Like I said, it's all the Party's fault, so please don't vote...

Considering how internationally mobile Canadian society has become, I was wondering about your thoughts on the following Medicare proposal or similar: The government would establish its own medical insurance plan and would require all Canadian residents (and all entering Canada) who do not have...

We all want bans on the seal hunt and whaling, yet we see nothing wrong with eating beef. Personally, I eat vegan (though will eat non-vegan when necessary such as to not offend a host for example). However, I don't understand the logic in people who oppose whaling and sealing but who are not...

I've read these articles about Green May before, along with other articles on her story. A truly inspirational story even for today, of how she stood up against the Imperial Army that had taken the land of the Rising Sun: Part 1: A whisper from a hurricane: the story of Verda Majo (Geen May...

Your thoughts?

Sometimes when someone proposes we change something, many will stand up against it on 'traditional grounds', apparently forgetting that the very thing they're trying to preserve may have come about via change in the first place. This applies to all aspects of life. At one time, Canada, or even...

I was just reading this article on Unrestricted Warfare (Unrestricted Warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), a book written by two PLA Colonels in 1999. Its main focus is on 'alternative warfare', or war off of the battlefield, including economic warfare, 'lawfare' (Lawfare - Wikipedia...

Peace Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think the idea of a Peace Corp is a wonderful idea and we could always create something even better than the US Peace Corp (though this still wouldn't change the fact that they can still lay claim to having initiated it). I could see the...

Who has authority over a country from beyond its borders? Does any country have the right to criticize, place sanctions against, or invade Canada, China, or Iraq, for example, or would it be only the appropriate international bodies such as the UN, or no one?

We're hearing ever more voice calling on us to 'buy Canadian', an echo of the 1930's protectionism that accompanied the Great Depression and even contributed to its deepening. I take issue with the buy Canadian idea though on certain basic economic grounds. Canada is a geographically large...

Seeing Nov 11 is coming up, I've decided to dedicate a thread to share poetry written by soldiers past and present. I guess I'll start: First World War.com - Prose & Poetry By Robert Service (Canadian)(1874-1958) Decorations My only medals are the scars I've won in weary, peacetime wars...

Recently, the British National Party leader, Nick Griffin, appeared on the BBC's question time. You can see the video here: YouTube - BNP Nick Griffin on BBC Question Time Part 1 Though the BNP is a far right party, its leader was welcomed to the show owing to its election victories at both...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/BNP_uk_manifesto.pdf If you look though the BNP's Manifesto, there's not doubt that it's a racially, nationally and ethnically prejudice party. It is also xenophobic, isolationist, and nationalist. To our surprise though, it's brand of nationalism is...

What are some famous Canadian speeches you know of know of? Please post them here. As for how old they are, as long as they're from since Canada exists at least:lol:
