Re: New Mainstreet poll shows a huge Conservative lead

You are retired. According to Taxslave, you are one of the useless feeders.

I wouldn't call them useless but it's really no secret that seniors are the biggest drain on our social programs and our economy

Re: New Mainstreet poll shows a huge Conservative lead

I think the problem comes from picking sides. We are all in this together. Why can't we have a system that works for everybody. My preference is a no party system, like Nunavut, where all MPs are independent and all decisions are made by consensus. Competition is what destroys social cohesiveness.


You do pick sides Cliffy... that is why you are one of the biggest hypocrites on the forum. You claim neutrality yet you are light years from the center.

You pay any income taxes during any of those years?

I would bet he did, probably lots. I never did figure out a way to escape those bastards! :)

To Cliffy's defense I'd have to disagree with that. His message has pretty well been constant in the 7 years I've been on the forum. He'd be perfect if he'd just quit beating up on Harper. :) :)

Oh he has been pretty consistent in claiming himself to be neutral but his posts say he is so far from it.

Invest offshore....

Yeah, tycoons do it. I doubt if the average wage slave does! You'd be laughed off the planet with a series of 50 cent investments.

He could be a Socialist at heart, I suppose, but I think he's smarter than that!

I'm an anarchist with communist leanings, if you really need a label but that doesn't really scratch the surface of what my political thinking is. Here is something to chew on from Saint Hicks:

Re: New Mainstreet poll shows a huge Conservative lead

My problem, however, is that this is just one in a series of polls. Most polls show, as of now, a tie between the reds and blues. That said, pollsters have been pretty inaccurate in the last few elections - remember the prediction for Christie Clark ? - so I'll adopt a skeptical view.

Re: New Mainstreet poll shows a huge Conservative lead

Don't forget about all those Union guys who get pulled around by the nose - and whose meal tickets the TPP threatens

Actually the NDP is far more of a threat to us in heavy construction simply because the NDP has been against every major project that our members depend on for work. While Harper may be somewhat anti union at nleast he will keep us employed. There is no future for a union workforce with no work.

Re: New Mainstreet poll shows a huge Conservative lead

Meh ... they're only against it 'cuz the Conz are for it. It's all part of the political drama that hides what really goes on behind the scenes. If they're in, they'll be doing exactly the same things. You don't really think any political party calls the shots do you?

That sounds about right. In 25 plus years of my membership with a union they bent over backwards protecting members that didn't do any of it!

You bet - just like old Yogi said............."It ain't over until it's over". :)
