You know Walter Brennan if Haysoos were around I'm absolutely certain you'd call for his lynching for being a liberal.
Haysoos was a long haired, Hippie, peacenic, socialist who fed the poor and healed the sick. And Wally claims to be a Christian. Ironic!

I say it again, I don't think welfare bums like Cliffy & Cannuck and others living off the Canadian Gov't should be able to vote.

Welfare bums, Prisoners, anyone who is a public charge should not vote. UIC recipiants and CCP recipiants have paid into the system.. they should vote.

The Working Class (The Drinking Class), people that contribute to this country, pay taxes should be who decide it's future and who runs the country.

Just Say'in.

I frequently tell my American friends, who know little about Canada, that Stephen Harper (link is external) is the last remnant of the George W Bush administration in North America. The response I get is usually a mixture of dismay and pity. Bush’s worldview and politics of fear have been rejected by Americans in the last two elections, many of whom now lament his era as a period of folly and hubris.

My American friends are also confused. How could
Canada (link is external), a country widely regarded as being full of socially-progressive and tolerant people, elect someone from a party so antithetical to that image?

Under Bush, the White House denied the existence of man-made climate change and
gutted the ability (link is external) of the US Environmental Protection Agency to go after polluters. Under Harper, the government took aim at Environment Canada (link is external), slashing its budget and restricted the ability of its own regulators to crack down on cancer-linked pollution. The Conservative Party silenced the government’s own scientists (link is external), who, for the first time ever, mounted a political campaign against Harper (link is external). Canada was also one of the first countries to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to address climate change and is the only country in the world to have withdrawn from a UN treaty to address desertification. And the list of environmental programs that Harper has slashed funding to is long and devastating (link is external).

...While the US is learning from its past and addressing the issue of mass incarceration, under Harper, Canada has recently undertaken the largest expansion of prisons
since the 1930s (link is external), despite a record-low crime rate. Echoing the doctrine of Republicans in the States, he cut funding to the arts (link is external), (link is external)cut funding to Canada’s public broadcaster (link is external) and destroyed the national gun registry (link is external), which experts say had historically contributed to Canada’s low rates of gun violence.

...Internationally, Harper’s foreign policy has been focused on
promoting Canadian oil (link is external), but little else, and that has damaged our strategic position in the world. Since the founding of the United Nations 70 years ago, Canada has worked diligently to earn a reputation as an honest broker and constructive problem solver. Under Harper, Canada has become known for avoiding international summits and for obstruction. A report (link is external)chaired by Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stated that Canada, with Australia, “appear to have withdrawn entirely from constructive international engagement on climate.”

I'm not sure how you can possibly come to your conclusion, harper a bush? Like honestly, I've never once seen harper reading a book, let alone think he could read one upside down.

I heard that Harpo had to have his lips surgically removed from Bush's butt when he left office.

The only political party to ever make sense in Canada were the Rhinos. The only thing that makes sense to me is a no party system.

Liar and hypocrite,the only party you constantly rail against is the Conservative..

Are you dumb enough to think that nobody sees through your "facade"?

They happen to be the ones in power, you putz. When the Glibs were in I bashed them. But you wouldn't see that with your tunnel vision.
