OK, I took your little quiz. "Yank" isn't a party.

 

[Colpy]

The Progressive Conservatives are the only party that will extract the riches lying under our feet.

The PCs are the ONLY party that deserves your vote.

 

[Cannuck]

NB, NS, PEI and NFLD should merge and become one province. Maybe then we can finally get the off the government teat

It's not my quiz.


Apparently it is from the CBC and I guessing it's from CBC New Brunswick.


I didn't take the quiz because I am not familiar with the local politics............

But can the manage them?

Chinese know what they are doing?

Besides...can theory take time away from building Africa?

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Chinese know what they are doing?

Absolutely. They bring the most cutting-edge nineteenth century technology and utter indifference to the health and safety of workers or the environment to the resource extraction arena.

 

[petros]

I would have believed that in the nineteenth century.

Actually, it is a US company doing the seismic testing, with an eye to extraction.

Liberal Leader Brian Gallant won a tight New Brunswick election campaign beset by a vote-counting fiasco that may take more time to settle. The unofficial results have Gallant’s Liberals holding 27 seats compared to 21 for David Alward’s Progressive Conservatives.

Conservative Dipper. Do I get a tax credit or a nonrepayable corporate loan?

Yeah... I'd rather those 'riches' stay under our feet so our lives stay healthy, thanks. PC were a party NOT deserving of any votes at all (sadly too many bought into their BS).

As it is, I'm not sure the Liberals will be any better.

Don't you dare eat any food that was grown from the soil.

Issues of the day first of all the people of each Province have a right to determine their
own direction and that does not include merging to create one Province. I have property
in Cape Breton and lots of family there. In 1830's there was a forced merger with the
mainland of NS and people still hold a grudge about that. That is why people from Cape
Breton call themselves Capers not Nova Scotians. I am happy to see a change in NB
it shows the noose is tightening on the current Harper Government.
The signs are there and the election gets closer. We have a decision to make in the
near future. I won't be voting Tory so its between Mulcair and Trudeau and I am listening.
In my view the present government has done a lot for everyone but seniors and vets and
the average guy. We need a balance between what is good for business and the ordinary
working folks and that is not happening at present. Remember Harper said I need a
majority to do what I want? He has done enough to our way of life and the message is
on the wall with a few Provincial elections NB being the latest.

Fracking has been going on in North America since 1949. Over one million wells have been fracked

Fracking has been going on in Saskatchewan for 40 years. Over 44,000 wells have been fracked, and new ones are going in at a rate of 1300 a year. Each well creates 10 to 12 jobs.

There have been very few problems with fracking.

You have been conned by propaganda put out by Luddite idiots, Chicken-Little morons, and con-artists like Michael Moore and Al Gore, often backed by reputable nations with no axe to grind like gas giant, terror-support, foreign-worker murderer Qatar.

Congratulations.

I usually support a new leader, in a "give them a chance" attitude. I did so with Chretien, with Obama.....two of the politicians I came to loathe.

Gallant wants to spend $900 million we do not have.

Gallant wants to raise property taxes for business, already the highest in Canada.

And the thing I can't forgive him for, he is a not-so-bright pretty-boy Liberal that looks and acts like an Alan Rock clone.

Argh.

The PCs did a VERY poor job of selling fracking.

Now, explain to me why NB should have a right to equalization payments from fracking provinces, when we have neither the brains nor the cojones to dig into the treasure underneath our feet???
