What a joke this is if anybody thinks about it, Harper in his quest to have a more open and accountable government always ranted about how governments can pick election dates if it was politcally sound for them, but this bill dosen't change that at all, I certainly hope people are smart enough to see this act was merely a waste of paper and time.:roll:
The Canadian election………….
- Thread starter Socrates the Greek
- Start date

I guess you missed my post.....no matter, cons always need reminding how bad they are at fisacl management when they believe the Libs spend us into debt like drunken sailors while recent history says otherwise.:roll:
All very interesting since our surplus is shrinking at an alarming rate and we could see red this year while government spending has increased since the Tory's have come to power.
Bunch of clowns.....:clown:
"It's a service and knowledge based economy"."It's no longer a manufacturing based economy." Well Avro you have used the Globalist newspeak like they knew your kind would.
No country that eliminated it's manufacturing base in favour of service and finance has survived. You must produce extraction hollows out economys, strips assets. See Kevin Phillips Which individuals Avro? Choice of what? Housing will continue to slump, it's far from the bottom still. I know I heard an economist interviewed a couple of days ago, he forcast a turnarround in construction in a couple of years, he was lying through his teeth.
Finance Avro,it's a finance based economy. And that spells the end of it. If you do not produce sooner or later you will not consume.
What a load of BS you speak.
Okay, I'll bite, which country has collapsed because they have no manufacturing and became a service and knowledge based economy in the modern industrial era?
In fact, the only countries that have collapsed are commie ones, the very system you want the West to adopt.....idiot.
Do you donate the entire cheque book? I know Harper likes the blank cheque style of governing...
:lol:
To go to the original point, I always thought that a fixed election date made no sense in a Parliamentary style gov't such as ours. I always thought it was a silly idea, so it doesn't bother me at all to skip it.
I can think of more elections that wrecked things than even came close to fixing anything ... especially when some slippery bugger split an apathetic vote and his followers turned out in droves - like the Free Trade and GST ones - or one where it came down to just a few more voters would have kept Bush as an also ran. Don't forget.... A spoiled ballot is also a statement. All that matters is getting your name stroked off the list. I bet you'd be one of the first ones to raise the alarm if they just up and wiped out your priviledge....

England, the Neatherlands, Spain, the list is rather long. You keep forgetting finance Avro, that is a major constituant part of the GDP. Get a clue will you. Manufacturing is six percent of what it was thirty years ago, no country can survive that very long. Cuba has not collapsed Avro.
Cuba and the Struggle for Survival (Part 2)
by Rick Smith / August 29th, 2008
Rick Smith: We are talking about Cuba and during the break Dr. Morris shared an interesting observation when hearing this John Lennon song. Can you share that with the audience?
Doug Morris: Sure, the song is John Lennon’s “Power to the People.” In Cuba, the popular form of democracy is called “People’s Power.” Under harsh circumstances, filled with many conflicts and contradictions, some successes and some failures, and in no way static, it could be argued that they are attempting to create a form of people’s power in which the population can participate in meaningful and effective ways in shaping the deci

Cuba is considered the one country in the world that has achieved a point of sustainable development. There is a very great difference between collapsed and being driven under by the capitalist pigs war machine, but we can't expect you to appreciate that can we.
What a load of garbage, Cubans live in abject poverty and come over in boat loads to Miami while evey other commie country has either collapsed or is about to. Fidels brother knows this and will begin the slow reforms that will hopefully lead them to prosperity.
As for your examples of collapsed economies, were they in the idustrial age? I thought not, try agin but you won't find any comrad. Keep dreaming though....hey if you move to Cuba you could live a dream world and you'd be the first imigrant they ever had.:lol:
Looks like the Battle of the Imbeciles is brewing!
DarkBeaver VS Avro

I was actually here to read about the Canadian election but this could be good. I think I may have distracted you though. When you lack focus, as dropouts often do, you get distracted.
Oh I think you're a closet commie considering you think Beave would win over my capitalist ideas.
How low you have sunk to support the very ideology you hate as do I.
Are you really that desperate?
I am just banking on the hope he has an education and your previous track record. It is not very stellar.
Now please...discuss and entertain us as clowns.
