Canadian Candidate James Sears In Live TV Debate: "I'm sick & Tired Of it, Canada Is Israel's & America's BITCH"


"Why are we murdering people in foreign countries ...in Palestine, in Ukraine, in Syria- instead of spending the money here in Canada? The three major parties support Israel no matter WHAT Israel does, no matter what atrocities they commit.. I'm sick and tired of our money being used to advance the interests of the United States and Israel... the IMF wants us to owe money to sleazy bankers... The media is Zio-Marxist controlled. I don't know what's happened to Canada. Canada used to be the peacemaker..Now we're just Israel and United States, I don't know, can I say 'BITCH' on the air? I don't know, but that's what we are. As far as I'm concerned I've won this debate..." :)

An Open Letter to Stephen Harper
Mary Cleaver·Saturday, October 10, 2015



Dear Mr. Harper,
I live in BC with my husband and two little girls. I grew up in Calgary and have many friends and family members there. I’m white and in my early 40s. One of us is a stay at home parent, so we benefit 100% from the direct deposits in lieu of a national childcare program. We also benefit 100% from income splitting. And we can afford to take advantage of the increased allowance in our TFSAs.
In other words, we're the picture of the family who benefits the most from your economic policies.
But we're not voting Conservative on October 19th.
You see, you've misjudged us. We enjoy our standard of living, we work hard for it but it's not the only thing that matters to us.
You assume we don't care about our first nations neighbours, or Canadians trying to bring their family members here from war torn countries. That we don't care about less fortunate Canadians, our veterans, or scientists. You think we don't mind that to save a few bucks and balance the books we axed the census, dumped decades of research from our libraries, cut funding to CBC, underspent our budgets in important departments and closed coast guard stations. You figure we no longer want our lakes and rivers protected and that we don't understand that climate change is a far greater risk to our way of life than Barbaric Cultural Practices.
You've underestimated us.
On October 19, we're not voting for our bank balance. We're voting for change because we want the caring Canada of our youth back. The Canada that supported our single mothers that gave us the opportunity to succeed in the first place.
Mary Cleaver

Those leftoids, especially those those that (say) they are centrists but keep spewing left wing mantra , are such gullible twits.....:roll:

Same goes for righties spewing right wing mantra.

In fact anyone who thinks any major party will make things any different under our current distorted and broken system is a gullible twit!

Then why do you keep arguing only against right wing posts.....or are you just blowing smoke.....

I've said before all the pretend centrists are bloody hypocrites

I have more respect, the little I allow myself to feel for admitted left wingers like Flossie, than those pretend centrists

I'm a libertarian. I feel sorry for anyone who is duped into supporting Trudeau or Mulcair just as much as those who have somehow convinced themselves that Harper has done anything good for our country other than scrap the long gun registry. Given a choice in a perfect world I would line up all 3 plus Mrs May and use them for artillery practice.

The reality though, unfortunately, is the problems lie not with any of the leaders or MPs but in the system. Until our entire system of governance is changed it matters not who wins the farcical contests referred to as elections.

Re: If cellphone generation shows up to vote, Harper loses. It’s that simple

The obvious solution is for Harper to call up his buddies in the tech industry and get them to launch a new cell-phone game the day before the election.

Not that it matters. I have it on good authority that Canadian democracy is dead, killed when a woman in niqab took the citizenship oath.
Nah. It died when we ended up with gasbags flapping their lips about "representing" the public, hehe kind of like you lot over there.

For Canada Investors, Liberals Have Been Better Bet Than Tories

If history is any guide, a win by Justin Trudeau and the Liberals in next week’s election bodes well for Canadian stocks.

Stretching back to 1922 and the time of William Lyon Mackenzie King’s first term in office, stock returns have been three times higher under Liberal prime ministers than with Conservative leaders, according to monthly data to August 2015 compiled by Bloomberg from TMX Group Ltd., operator of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

For Canada Investors, Liberals Have Been Better Bet Than Tories - Bloomberg Business
I can believe that. The problem with that, however is that Joe Moneybags Onepercenter buys shares and whatnot in lots of hundreds, whereas most Canadians buy a few dozen. It's one of the things that keeps the income gap alive, thriving, and growing. I don't mind the rich getting rich but I DO mind the gov't kissing big business a$$ and doing things that don't help the 99%ers as much as helping the 1%ers. Gov'ts and societies were developed to keep the public happy, not businesses, but here we are, slaves to gov'ts and societies. IMO, it's the next top thing at the apex in the list of human failures behind war.

I would imagine Nanos will not be much different.

@308dotcom: Polls, hot off the presses, and both giving up on the tight race:

EKOS: 36% LPC, 31% CPC, 21% NDP
Ipsos: 37% LPC, 31% CPC, 24% NDP
