Justin Trudeau abandons Alberta

[#juan]

Justin Trudeau finished his B Ed dgree and had started on engineering when the party convinced him to run in the next election. Hi did speak both official languages and he did have his father's name. Trudeau picked a seat that had been held by the Bloc for some time and won it. Right now he looks like the best of the bunch. I don't like Mulcair and Harper sure as hell doesn't excite me. Who else is there? Green might get a seat or two. I'm a westerner but I think I'll go with Trudeau.

I feel justified in getting my name stroked off the electors list - just to show I was there - and spoiling the ballot

Then don't complain about anything the government does or doesn't do. You've taken yourself out of the equation.

BS
In order not to be able to complain about gov't, one should not be affected in any way by said gov't.

Spoiled ballots are counted as "none of the above". I showed up. Many don't. That's the neat part about a secret ballot.

Maybe we can get Cliffy to run for Rhinoceros!

Actually, as I keep telling people, Harper did not appoint Senators until the Liberals began using their majority in the Senate to thwart the will of the elected House. Then Harper had no choice....it was let the Liberal Senate run the country against the will of the House, or appoint Conservative Senators. He did what was necessary.

The Senate is something we'd like to change...........really change, not "pretend" change.

And appointing Senators through some kind of elitist vetting program is not an improvement.

I have to call BS here, sorry.

When the Liberal Party of Canada held a majority in the Senate, it only delayed legislation. If the House of Commons insisted upon a bill or amendments to it, then the Senate ultimately, every time, allowed the legislation to continue on through the process. It was only after the Conservative Party of Canada gained a majority in the Senate that the Upper House defeated the Climate Change Accountability Act and decided to "thwart the will of the elected House."

Stephen Harper "let the Conservative Senate run the country against the will of the House."
