Harper soars on strength of economy

I'm not much of a Conservative but I guess we could do a lot worse than having another term of Harper,,,,,,,he's sure saved us a sh*tload of money. :smile:
As Jed Clampett said once, "Keeerect".
Mine either. I vote Indie anyway.
lol Sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't be better off without politicians period.
I've leaned towards anarchism myself on occasion. Though I do not profess the christian Faith myself, I can't deny a certain attraction to Christian anarchism:

Are we better off without boils?............:lol::lol::lol:
And the "Hidden agenda" right? it's the Economy!-you know the ads where the guy gets the bonk on the forehead?
Scandal has not done it and neither have scare tactics.
As if political parties aren't squeezing us tight enough by the balls as it is:x
What we need is non-partisan democracy:

Failing that, then I suppose official ultra-partisan governance (or proportional representation in your parlance) is more honest than to pretend you're voting for a candidate when in fact you're not.
But having a choice, I'd still choose taking power away from party control and putting it back into the hands of the people.
Hey, it's already been proven that that system doesn't work any better than "first past the post". You'll just end up with splinter parties having one or two seats, it won't change who forms the Gov't. :smile:
I cannot believe that PR would be any better than what we have. What we do need is voters who read, think, and care.
What? But what about my right to show up at the polling booth, look at my ballot, and say:
Hey, I have no clue who this guy is but I see he's with party X, and its party logo is in my favourite colour and it's just so cool, not to mention grand papa votes for that party too. X.
Wrong when the Reform party started they wanted to be the western party in fact it was a PC member in Ontario I think his name was Chong who led a movement for the Reform party to come into Ontario because Preston Manning was against the idea in the beginning.
But Preston refused to budge on his decision not to run any candidates in Quebec.
Explain
No. You're wrong again.
Wiki may not be the be-all and end-all of sources but they give a decent write up of the history of the Reform Party
Reform Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The biggest reason Reform never really tried to enter Quebec was that most of the people their policies would have appealed to, were already in the Bloc: when Mulroney's PCs fragmented, in the East a few stuck with the PCs, some went to the Liberals, in Quebec they went to the Bloc, and in the West they mostly went Reform. I guess your definition of "seperatist" is anyone who doesn't vote Liberal, Liberalman?
Wrong again and wiki is a bad source I lived through that era I remember it well.
The biggest reason the Reform never bothered with Quebec is because of the separatists wanting to break away from Canada and this was a form of punishment as far as the Reform was concerned.
Another example of the Reform or Canadian Alliance disgust with Quebec is when they merged with the Progressive Conservatives at the policy meeting they set up tables for all the provinces delegate except for Quebec they just wanted those delegates to join the other tables and when Quebec people protested then the leaders grudgingly set up the tables for them
Afternoon Sadiexzo;
Wanted to let you know that I doing the same sh*t at your Microcap site that you are doing here... The next step will be to advertise Yahoo Finance, Stockhouse and a few others. There are also a few newsletters that compete with Microcap - some of them free - that will be associated with your site.
Let me know when you're willing to stop acting like a b*tch and maybe i won't start passing the word that your site relies on spamming and viral marketing to get awareness.
I found some newsletters that you might be interested in AND they don't cost a nickle.

This site is surprisingly good. A lot of depth and good info. There's also a small cap section that has been quite intuitive in the past.

Well I lived through it too, voted in Alberta, and don't look at the past through Trudeau tinted shades. The Wiki version isn't as far off as you are...
As I said, the Reform party never saw much fertile ground in Quebec because of the rise of the Bloc as a grassroots political movement and spin off of old PC supporters.
The Reform outlook on Quebec reflected what a lot of westerners felt; it was pretty much "plan for the worst and hope for the best". They wanted Quebec as an equal partner in Confederation, not a "special" partner, with differing rights and priviledges, as Mulroney's attempts at constitutional ammendments would have made them. To that end they were for more decentralization of powers (from the Feds to the provinces) but didn't agree with things like guarantees that Quebec should always have 3 of the 9 sitting justices on the Supreme Court or 25% of the seats in the House of Commons, even should the population of the province not show it as being equitable. They also supported the Triple E Senate idea.
I remember hearing nothing about this but then again I never really followed the policy convention all that closely. Perhaps some link to validate your claim as something more than a Liberal fantasy, as you seem to be pretty confused about the way most of the other events unfolded...
