So If Harper Wins A Majority...
- Thread starter Unforgiven
- Start date
I agree.
Have any of you ever heard the whooping and hollering(heckling and booing for example) that goes on in the various House Of Commons meetings? They act like petulant children for crying out loud! And these are supposed to be our elected representatives? Sheesh!
The parliament buildings are probably infected with mold. They are old and mold tends to make people sick and may cause brain rot. They all tend to act the same so it may be the buildings.. or it may be that only childish Cretans want to run for office. Doesn't say a lot for us , we keep voting them into office. Maybe Canadians find that sort of thing entertaining and it does keep them off the streets..
It would probably be better for us if he didn't win a majority, but one or two seats under- that may be enough to shut Layton's and Iggy's pie holes without giving Harpy the idea he can just run rough shod
You might be on to something with the mold there Cliffy.
I have known a few really good people who went to Ottawa with the best intentions, a centerist platform with a sprinke of fiscal responsiblity mixed with a dash of liberal socialism. 1 quit after serving 1 term and wouldn't be convinced to run again, 1 got sucked into the black hole on the extreme right and the last fell into the hole on the left.
There is definitely something wrong with the building.....
Just curious, has Harper made the same pledge?
He was willing to get in bed with the Bloc before.
You gotter Unf. Those are probably his intentions. Knuckle draggin assholes.
Gotta laugh. Cons bleat on about keeping government out of the life of Canadians, and yet feel it's ok to tell a gal she can't decide what happens to her own body.
I'd sooner vote for the Bloc.
It's a much harder decision than that.
While I don't want to infringe on the rights of anyone and that includes a woman who is pregnant, but what about the life within that woman?
Do they not have a right?
Is aborting a child a good form of birth control because the two people involved can't use a contraceptive?
It is a difficult debate.
One thing for sure, I don't think the state should be paying for abortions.
No one wants to live in your Canada. And most would likely find your national flag, offensive.
Is this the Canada you want to love?
I kind of doubt that is liable to happen but if it does then it means the majority want him and you can't get much more democratic than that. :smile:
Harper will not win a majority because the government is not that smart. No changes will be made, other than the ones that bennifit there financial gain. All there promises will go under the carpet as soon as the election is over. The people will continue to be cattle and not do anything about it. We are to nice of cattle to stand up to them, when they should be on there hands and knees begging all of us for forgiveness.They have ripped us off for decades and will continue to untill we all stand up together and say NO WE WILL NOT TAKE IT ANY MORE! We need to unite and put a stop to this before it is to late.
Canadian politicians sat back and watched the "gay marriage" issue work its way through the courts, only becoming involved after it was a "fait accompli."
Why would one expect their approach to abortion to be any different?
Because abortion and gay marriage are different.
I think if Harper doesn't return a majority government this election, the knives will come out for him rather than any fetus.
Hmmmm....possibly.
But the Conservative Party exists largely because of Harper, and (paradoxically) he is both its greatest asset and its greatest liability..
And I see no one in the wings really capable of challenging him.
Replacing him after he decides to retire is a completely different matter.
I think you are reading Harper wrong. He's actually the exact opposite of what his opponants are trying to make him out to be.
He won't address the issues of abortion and gay marriage because he believes in choices.
He's not the average politician: he doesn't go about grinning like a chessire cat, kissing babies and slapping backs, he just calmly states what he believes in. Most people can't accept a reasonable approach by a politician. They want charm, charisma and idealistic promises.
This isn't a popularity contest, folks! Whether you like Harper or not, he does a good job and that's what counts.
I hope you're right, but I still see him as a hypocrite and I think he does what's best for Harper at others' expense.
Go Harper Go !!!
He just a couple of more seats and he's home free !!
We need a majority Givernment, we don't need elections every couple of years.
But the most important thing that a majority will give us is a government for four years and then we the people of Canada can decide if the governing party did a good job or if we want to replace it. The way it is now, is that the loser parties want to govern the country without our agreement.

We need what we decide - regardless if it's a majority or a minority. If the country is torn, then an unwarranted majority through partisan bullying will always be worse for us than the cost of multiple elections.
