Personally, I'm repelled by the idea of proportional representation, as it would essentially force me to vote not for a person, but for a party. And I would rather vote for thinking human beings who could 'cross the floor' if need be should a party go crazy for whatever reason. In fact, if it...

I really don't seem to fit in with any of the platforms. Maybe you can help with recommendations? Here's where I stand: Law and order and personal ethics (can be overlooked if necessary): For capital punishment, with the option of life sentence according to judge's discretion, opposed to...

I wonder if Canada has any progresive Christian party that I might never have heard of, however fringe it might be with its nine or so members. I'm not a Christian myself, but I could see the benefit of such a party. A progressive Christian could, for instance, find himself in agreement with...

What do you like and dislike about the Green Party?

I was wondering if ayone is aware of any research concerning the relationship between English-language competence and support for sovereignty. I'd lived in Montreal before, and before that in Charlevoix. Generally speaking, support for sovereignty is weekest in Montreal and similarly bilingual...

In another forum, a Chinese had raised concerns over Canada's treatment of its First Nations. I thought it's not really fair to debate this topic on a Chinese forum since Canadians have no chance to defend themselves if they're not even aware that the debate is going on there, so I've decided to...

After all the debates over Zionism, I'd decided to look more into the movement and its history. I'd found out that the founder of political Zionism was Theodore Herzl, so where best to get the facts from than from the mouth of the horse himself. And this are some of the eloquent pearls of...

Should Canada and the US adopt a common citizenship and passport? Please do not read between the lines. This does not include political union or anything else. Just take it at face value (i.e. common citizenship and nothing more). The two nations would remain sovereign otherwise. Support or...

The plain truth, very plain, we think is, that ... one man that has a higher Wisdom, a hitherto unknown spiritual Truth in him, is stronger, not than ten men that have it not, or than ten thousand, but than all men that have it not; and stands among them with a quite ethereal, angelic power, as...

While I identify with neither the right nor the left, if I was forced to choose, I'd probably go moderate left. Yet despite this, coupled with Winston Churchill being conservative, I still can't help but agree on many of his points, even if usually only in principle. If you should read the...

A very interesting debate is raging in a Chinad Daily forum: bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/ It's about an ever-increasing fear of Zionism in China, and it's become a very multi-disciplinary debate as well, involving religion, politics and linguistics all mashed into one, and intertwining with all...

After reading of the blog of the perpetrator of the recent attack in Montreal, it would seem that this man had given clear indications that he needed help. Yet instead of seeking help as any mature and responsible person in his position would have, he decided to try to deal with it himself until...

Hot shot. That was good. I laughed all the way through.

Who'se heard of it? I've only come across it recently. http://www.agoracosmopolite.com/spiritual_values.htm

Re: RE: Best sandwich ever! "Not this again." Hmmm. Let's me get this straight. It's OK for you to through out comments such as: "No need to be a smartass commie." when I'm not a commie, yet I'm not to correct your false claim about me? "Blame the foreign devil." Sorry, but I totally...

Re: RE: Best sandwich ever! "Yes, yes. No need to be a smartass commie. I had no idea you were in China. I was not paying attention to the names and flags crap. Do calm yourself." Oh, I never realised the definition of "commie" was "one who lives in China". You never cease to amaze me with...

Re: RE: Best sandwich ever! "I love how people like yourself call it Chinese food when it is clearly not." What? I think I'm about to read a shocking revelation here. "When people order Chinese take-out and the like they think it is the same food they eat in China." As far as I know, whether...

chinese sandwiches usually suck... or expensive. Ah, it' s times like this that my taste buds miss Canada. but honestly, that's seldom since there is plenty of chinese food to choose from... Yumm

Oh have I got my stories: As for seafoods, I'll stick to anything vegetal, such as kelp, seaweed, algae, etc. I especially like kelp! Heck, I eat it most every day, or at lest every week. A whole week without kelp is a rarity. Now as for disgusting foods, I've had smelly tofu. It smells like...

Si le Ministere d'Education du Quebec etait pour donne plus de choix de langues secondes aux ecoles Quebecoises, quelles langues voudriez-vous voir sur la liste. Juste pour limite la liste, disons que le gouvernement provinciale etait pour limite le nombre de langues optionnelles a neuf. Moi...
