Our water ways can be protected: no pipelines and no tankers.

So, raw sewage is a net benefit,is it?... Or maybe you're an ideologue that turns a blind eye to the cause when it affects you?



Nice plume of raw sewage, eh?

Apparently the tidal action of the ocean takes care of that crap! (Mind you I'm not sure what prevents it from floating to the top)

It's called bio-remediation, and yes, it works on oil as well

Stephen Harper 'gaming the system' with early election call, says former Elections Canada head



The former head of Elections Canada says Prime Minister Stephen Harper is "gaming the system" with an early election call and the result is parties with less money are politically disadvantaged.
"What it does is completely distort everything we've ever fought for, everything we've established as rules," Jean-Pierre Kingsley said in an interview on CBC Radio's The House.

One wonders why if they have fixed election dates they don't have fixed campaigns too.

I see nothing wrong at pressing whatever advantage you have. I expect the Lieberals and the NDP to do the same. Wining like the above is for losers.


The Ontario Retirement Pension Plan was another tax. Did she expect Steve to play along? When she was promising this new tax she didn't mention she required fed approval.

John Robson: I can’t vote for the Harper Conservatives. I just can’t

Elections are such infuriating spectacles that sometimes one doesn’t know which obscenity to utter first. But I’ve decided to aim my initial outburst at the Harper Tories.
I cannot vote for them. I just can’t. They should be my natural choice but their coarse, vindictive, proudly unprincipled cynicism must not be rewarded with electoral success, regardless of the consequences.
Let’s start with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s first major campaign pledge: to make the home renovation tax credit permanent if he is reelected. If it were economics, it would clearly be bad economics, aiming to “stimulate” one of the few sectors of the economy doing so well it already has the government worried about a bubble.
