Let's say a candidate running in your riding had no degree and worked a menial job and was was divorced, but proved himself an intellectual with a heart and unique solutions to difficult social problems, perhaps many of which he himself had experienced (though then again, he might not admit to...

B.C. carbon tax boosts prices at gas pump While this culd be beneficial to urbanites since they generally use less gas anyway, so they'd just bask in lower income taxes, these same lower income taxes will likely pale in comparison to a big tax hike for suburbanites who work downtown. You're...

I just got a letter in the mail yesterday from my MP for Ottawa-Orleans, Royal Galipeau. In it, he says nothing of what he intends to do, but just bashes Micheal Ignatieff for his comments on tax hikes. I hope my taxes didn't pay for this letter. Anyway, why is he doing this? No, I don't like...

We find that some issues don't stick from election to election, and so keep coming back. Examples include: Taxation and social services. One party will increase taxes and improve social services, only for another party to reverse it, for the whole process to repeat itself anew. Immigration...

For those who don't know what a natural monopoly is: Natural monopoly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Personally, generally speaking (always exceptions), I'd go for transforming them into co-ops. This way they still benefit from the efficiencies of monopoly, without the burden that crown...

I'd be curious to know what your views on foreign policy look like when expressed in symbols only without mentioning nations. That's the first and perhaps only rule in this thread. The main objective is to see how our foreign policy views pan out when applied on the principle that what applies...

When I was studying catechism in Catholic school as a kid, one the the points taught in class that had always confounded me was the question of the ascention of Jesus. It was always taught as a literal ascention, and explicitely so when I'd questioned the teacher about it. Generally speaking...

I was reading up on Ignatieff in Wikipedia: Michael Ignatieff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As it turns out, he supported the Iraq War too, but has sinse distanced himself from it. Here's the quote from Wikipedia: [edit] International affairs Ignatieff has written extensively on...
