"he has grown up to be a liberal, like me, he is a card carrying member of the Liberal Party"

you folks represent the majority in canada, don't you?

Indeed we do. Trudeau came to power in 1968. Since then in the last 42 years, Conservatives have governed for 12 years, Liberals for 30.

In fact, Dion the last Liberal leader was the first Liberal leader in the history of Canada not to become the Prime Minister.

Do you have a VAT (Value added tax) in Canada?

It's called the GST, goods and services tax. Also the provincial equivalents, except in Alberta.

Yep.

The Conservative Party controls 144 seats in Parliament.
The Liberal Party controls 77 seats.

The Conservative Party took 37% of the vote in the last election.
The Liberal Party too 26%.

The Conservative Party has about twice the membership of the Liberal Party, and consistently leads them (although not by much) in the polls.

SJP is living in the past.

Yes, we have VAT, and it varies from province to province.

Nationally, there is the GST, but in several provinces, the provincial tax is rolled into the GST, and called the HST (harmonized sales tax). In other provinces, the provincial sales tax is still separate, and applied differently.

I've often wondered why the Left has such a visceral hatred for Sarah Palin.

1. She is good looking. In the liberal world of uglies like Barbra Sreisand, Hillary Clinton and any female anchor on CNN, ABC, CBS or MSNBC, that is a crime.

2. She made 12 million after quitting her job. Obama made far less than that after quitting his.

3. She is not a lawyer.

4. She went to a common sense college, not to an overrated nest of liberal poison promoting liberal university.

5. She has more than the "NORM" of more than 2.3 children.

6. She had the unmitigated nerve of NOT aborting - but loving - a Down Syndrome baby.

7. She had the unforgivable sin of (at least to liberals) of not encouraging her daughter to have an abortion and the lazy and irresponsible way of wiggling out of an unfortunate mistake.

8. She is happily married.

9. She never went to a Church where the pastor screeched: "God Damn America!"

10. Her palm has more to say than all of Obama's teleprompters, because whatever on on her palm was written by her not some paid lackey.

11. She actually managed all the financial affairs of a state - successfully - while Obama only managed the crooked, criminal ACORN.

12. What she says comes from her own heart, not from a teleprompter.

13. Her son served in the Armed Forces, and we all know that the leftists would like nothing more than following their parents' example of spitting on returning veterans and call them baby killers.

Shall I go on?

Let the Left besmirch and underestimate her to their hearts' content, at their own peril.

I disagree with 11; the Bamster never managed anything; he worked for the crooked, criminal ACORN.

Obama is going thru on the job training right now because he never had any management experience now which should end in 2012 unless the people of the U.S. go crazy and elect him again.

JLM, just when I start (against my judgement) developing some respect fot you, you always manage to change my mind with posts like:

"You two should find out who's p*ssing in your cornflakes...".

Intelligence-wise, is that the best you can do?

Hey, Y.J. Self respect is what really matters- "intelligence wise", I can hold my own..........being sensible is more important than being intelligent.................I think we've both seen an example of "intelligence" on this forum. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
