Not every statement but that example sounds right. The way Harper is making major mistakes the PC wing of the federal Conservatives is ready to leave causing a fracture into two NeoCons


You'll have to explain how the Conservative party could split into 2 of the same thing. Explain why, and how, it could or would split into 2 parties with the same political ideology.

I "suggest" you follow your own advice. Canuck is correct. Reform was never a "separatist" party. It was always a western protest party that Manning managed to move into the main stream. It's idiots like you, spreading bullshyte around, that cause others to get wrong information and perpetuate the idiocy.
Right on assessment - but wasted in the tug of war to "score points"

Is this an example of micro aggression?

I'd say it's an example of some jewish folk getting uppity and rehashing the whole WW2 thing over an over-reaction to a misplaced image of a symbolic multi-meaning flag put there by a cartoon guy that has a mad-on for harper as a little nazi guy. It's drama. And it's godwin's journalism.

Reform Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reform Party of Canada (French: Parti réformiste du Canada) was a Canadian federal political party that existed from 1987 to 2000. It was originally founded as a Western Canada-based protest party, but attempted to expand eastward in the 1990s. It viewed itself as a populist party.

Soon after its formation it moved to the right and became a populist conservative (largely socially conservative) party. Initially, the Reform Party was motivated by the need for democratic reforms and by profound Western Canadian discontent with the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney.

Led by its founder Preston Manning, the Reform Party rapidly gained momentum in western Canada and sought to expand its base in the east.
Where does it say that these people were separatist? And you think reformist or protester means separatist?

Reform did not want anything to do with eastern Canada in the beginning and the talk at that point was Alberta's resources could sustain a Western Canada country.

Reform party did this for two reasons Brian Mulroney's attempt to change the rules of the National Energy Board which to lesson the control Alberta had over their resources and Quebec's not withstanding clause which Quebec used to opt out of supreme court decision of their language laws.

When Reform Party got an MP elected to the House of Commons a year later they decided to run all across Canada except for Quebec. The Reform plan was simple when they have the opportunity to form government then they would dismantle the manufacturing base in Ontario and Quebec and try to decentralize the government and make it smaller so that western Canada could separate easily.

By removing the tariffs by the various free trade agreements that they have signed businesses can move to other countries and import their products into Canada. Resourced based economies like western Canada would not be affected and would make those provinces stronger.

Kapeesh

ok now explain how you get separatist out of that explanation of dissatisfaction with eastern Canada.

And it's "capisci", so your command of Italian is as good as your command of English.

L Gilbert your first point just proves yet again that you need to get better drugs

Your second point according to Google; Which means we are both right


kapeesh
Verb

Meaning of "Understand?"

Also spelt kapeesh, capeesh. An anglicization of the Italian capisci orig U.S. - Used commonly amongst American-Italian gangsters and mobsters alike.

Kick the ball into the net, not over the net! Kapeesh?!

History clearly isn't your forte. When you become an MP, I assume you hope to make it to the cabinet table which begs the question, what portfolio would you be qualified to have. Is there anything about politics you know anything about?

Sad how folk could be insulted over the Hindu symbol for auspicious.

Funny that. Isn't it? Why would anyone be offended by such a nice symbol? After all it is, as you say, just a nice Hindu symbol. I mean, what other meaning could it possibly have? I don't know what many European countries are doing by banning it. Mad. The lot of 'em.

And it's "capisci".

No. It's "kapeesh".

You need to work on your English - especially the part about reading comprehension. I'll admit.... You're good at cherry picking.
