I always liked Harper. He seemed to understand what being a "public servant" in an individualistic democracy was about.

Funny how "unity" means "everybody agrees with us," regardless of who's calling for it.

That's because the Liberals are anti-women.

To a Yank, this is probably the most fascinating thing about your system (the other is multiple parties). Our elections are, of course, fixed. I'm sure both parties and all politicians would love the idea of being able to call a new election whenever things seem to be going well for the...

Which kinda raises the question: Am I really a "lefty?" I've said this before, but I'll repeat it: agreeing that whatever somebody is screaming about is indeed a problem does not constitute endorsement of their proposed solution. Only a moron or somebody looking for a fight (or both) fail to...

I agree. And I commend you for your involvement. Well done! I disagree with you on a lot. Civic engagement ain't one of the lot. As for me, "arm chair dicktator" is pretty much the most I can do. I'm not really invited to the Canadian (or provincial) poo-flinging fights.

Your partner's so pretty, spam! Good job catching her!

What are you, personally, doing to fight your government? Just curious.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." --Harry Truman

Um. . . yes. Ever heard of something called "conscription?" Even supposedly-free countries abrogate the rights of the few, even when those few are no danger to others (unlike Typhoid Mary), for the alleged good of "the people."

Don't forget fluoridation of water and polio, MMR, whooping-cough, and fever vaccines violate yer rahts! Typhoid Mary was persecuted. She should have been allowed to keep working and spread typhus. Mary Mallon (September 23, 1869 – November 11, 1938), commonly known as Typhoid Mary, was an...

Indeed. Particularly in a field so emotional and intertwined with sociopolitics, and one with a record of claiming that everyone is searching for its god, whether they know it or not. This is exactly what I meant when I urged you to consider the motives and possible biases of bible scholars...

I don't suppose you'd accept cash.

We hates them forever, preciousss!

Stick with CanCon, and pretty soon you'll be comfortably ensconced in knee-jerk hatred of True Dope and the Liberals, to the point where you'd blame a rainy day on them and accept without question or scepticism any claim about their nefarious evil, no matter how swivel-eyed.

Good. Emergency measures are by nature expensive. They should be folded into the normal structure as soon as feasible.

Oddly, I'd call them lower-class. I recollect when Roseanne was teaching kids to buy the generic cereal and dump it in the name-brand box, or sending the power bill to the phone company and the phone bill to the power company to buy time. I'd say "middle class" is when you pay the bills...

Worthless finger-wagging. Does Tara Deschamps, whoever she may be, think that the marketing departments of major corporations are babes in the woods who have never thought of this?

One would think it was the middle third of the population in household income, right? Wrong. It's like "patriotism." It's whatever you can convince the chumps it is. I've heard in the U.S., about 75% of the people call themselves "middle class."

En-EET-oop. What, will the Men of Westernesse not stand for the Seven Stars, Seven Stones, and One White Tree? This is how y'all lost Numenor. Pussies.
