What brought this on? Crazed madness, I tell you.

Too much mudslinging, fighting and just general issues between members which creates too much tension around here.

A couple of people have been removed and since then, things seem to have settled down quite a bit. Just keep name-calling and anger to yourself.

It is virtually impossible for strongly opinionated people to discuss politics without it dissolving into a mudslinging war. And there any many strongly opinionated people on these boards. Me being one of them.

The gap between the right and the left has become considerably wider in the past few years.

I kind of like having members that represent the many different fascets in Canada: We have our left, right, north/south, monarchists, separatist, fedaralists, immigrants, their decendents, french, dutch, stoners, gay, straight, clean, dirty, hard working, slackers.

It wouldn't be Canadian content if we didn't have representation of everyone. As long as we're capeable of discourse that we as Canadians are stereotyped as, then I'm sure that the debates and conversations will always remain interesting.

Right on the money. I must add, that this is what makes Canada so great. We never resort to violence. I think thats why the hole seperatist issue in Québec isnt over yet. Its because none of us, on either side, has resorted to outright violence. We are doing this the canadian way. Threw discourse and diplomacy.

But when we start to limit that free speach, we change, to something else. Sure, the left wingers, like myself, will continue to doubt everything. And the right wingers, will continue to do the same. Its the way things are. As long as we do it the canadian way, then tumbs up.

Mudslinging is a truly Canadian passtime. The difference is that we can do it in a refined manner rather than resorting to crudities. I have always admired people like Winston Churchill, or more laterly, Boris Johnson. They had the ability to verbally destroy an opponent simply with an exquisit use of vocabulary and metaphor. Sadly, this is a declining skill.

I hope the new rules work. Maybe some of the right wingers will come back then. If not, then only the left wing viewpoint will be left on this forum, which is too bad.

And for those who think I am one of the offenders, if I may post a bit of humor, my pappy, God rest his soul, always said if you want to wrestle with a pig, you have to get into the pigsty to do it :wink: :twisted:

Wow, Thought I would drop in and see what's up, Intresting how one person's point of view is judged to be either Racisit, Homophobic, Hate, Ect... I think this is not a good thing. I think it is totally up to an individual to decide weather to absorb or to reject whatever media we choose. I think there are countries, governments and religious sects that also censor or block ones fredoms of speach, point of veiws, opinions or beliefs. Although I will tread lightly. Bad day or good day for canadian content? you judge

Forget about the usual pandering bboy. Most of the people at this board are from the left. We all have been to right wing boards, we all know what happens when you express your opinion, your banned. If the lefty's at this board have given you the same treatment that you give them when they go to your boards, you all would have been long gone. So don't try and come here and exploit the fact that we are trying to be fair, as difficult, as that is in politics.
If your here just to re-hash, whine, or keep some score card, this place is not going to work for you. But keep coming back, it works :D

I like when the mods here tell me to stick my tounge down a certain politician's throat. It adds to the debate, even though I could be a Nazi for all they know. :)
