... And exactly how does one respond to that?
They ain't happy because the minority isn't represented or they ain't happy because the majority isn't happy.
Fact is, the implication is that the system sucks unless it caters to one benevolent, all-seeing master.
Oh my goodness a quote from the Guardian. Who would have thought.
I find guys like you so funny, because you live in the best place in the world, probably next to the best neighbors in the world and likely the safest, but it's always the big bad USA's fault.
Which of course was NOT a majority. I don't care how you slice it 39.5% is not a majority. Now I don't blame the cons or the voters for this it is a result of a flawed electoral system the badly needs reform. Really, a majority govt with a minority of the vote is hardly a shining star for democracy.
Not right wing enough, I guess. Or perhaps it is just an excuse not to face the truth.
Like all the losers you have a funny way of counting. The simple fact is that the cons got more votes than any other party. Unless math has changed dramatically since I went to school that is a majority.
While I don't know enough about fighter jets to declare the F35s a good or bad deal I do know that it is time to replace the CF18s which are rapidly getting older than their pilots. We no not need another disaster like the Sea King fiasco caused by the Liberals.
Unless the math system has changed since I was in school a majority is 50%+1. I find it quite funny how all the con supporters, and the libs too, thing that 39% is a majority mandate. It may get you a majority govt in our flawed single vote plurality system but democracy by definition is a majority of 50%+1.
I think that you're implying that a majority government should have a majority of the popular vote. That is not true in Canada. I would encourage you to be an advocate for reform. Until there is reform, I would suggest that criticizing a majority government for behaving like a majority government just isn't going to get you very far on an internet forum.
Thanks for the encouragement but I am, and have been for many years, an advocate for political reform. I am quite active if more than a couple of groups trying to get the electoral system and political system overhauled to be a better reflection of the will of the majority of Canadians. I would encourage everyone else to do this too.

So you mean the builders of the antiquated F-35's could not get their money back without a tax cut?
Jezus, why didn't they just tell everyone. It's not like we haven't been in R&D before, loaded up with management not having the capacity to grow a crop outside their pension plans.
Remember how there was a managed lab intent upon building the B-1 bomber, whereupon the US got lucky electing a president wise enough to say, "No, it shall be cruise missiles dropped from old B-52 bombers".
Currently, the best defense is satellite controlling drones which Canada is the only small population nation able to build one. Hell... Quebec could build it.
You want to know about Jobs? Imagine telling China she cannot get the resources until she says what she's going to do with them. That's what PM King did to get the atomic secret out of the Brits and Americans when they came up and demanded Uranium after the Germans took over the Belgian Congo, the only other place then aside from northern Saskatchewan known to have uranium.
Britian and the US tried to keep it secret, but PM King said we will pay to dig up the uranium and will meet you at the border if you tell us why you want it (which his advistors from U of T told him they probably wanted it for).
And so, at the end of WW-II there were three nations knowing how to build an atomic bomb.
The objective is to have a stable peaceful life of love with wife kids and family, and the nut-core fascists from Lucifer think it works better when everyone is unhappy.
Imagine the rest of the world blowing itself off the world map a when in-between there is a nation controlling its own satellite control system, controlling its own drones built by Bombardier controlling patrol in the north utterly defending its borders while the rest of the world goes nuts.
That's what this place can do, so the only hope you have is that Harper can play as many tricks on international minds as he did to get power, and you must hope he loves his country, like King did.
Remember when the evils knocked the Avro off the map, because they were afraid Canadians would be as evil as them?
In order to make jobs, for 36 billion dollars your can launch a GPS satellite system, have a two billion command and control center, and have 2500 Bombardier drones patrolling the coast protecting against illegal alliance.
And so who said we had to get rid of F-35 technology?
If some dumb-nut prairie-dog can spend a billion dollars holing up Toronto for a bunch of fat G-8 leader who already knew what they were going to say, do you think he'd have enough imagination to encourage business by setting up a northern aerospace raceway where global jets get to run a sky track?

Seriously... we don't want to let the technology go about what we can do with fighter jets, so let's keep it alive with global races.
Let's use the arctic.

In my opinion that is not democracy , when 50%-1 of the population has to suffer for the other half.
It is a deffinition yes but ......like i said.
