What did we do? Harper Majority!!

[Mowich]

While I get what you're saying, it is also one of the only ways that a vote for an underdog can end up 'counting'.

Karrie, if an underdog can't muster enough funds to run a campaign why should the Canadian public pay for him/her to do so? I support my party with membership dues and campaign contributions - it is the way that the Conservatives have managed to accumulate enough money to run campaigns, by having their members contribute - not the Canadian public.

So am I when I'm jerking off.
Duh
Why? He's the f-cking Prince of Darkness. Kiss your nation goodbye. You obviously never grew up in Alberta.

You obviously never heard about the attempt of the KKK to set up shop in Alberta in the early 70's.

That KKK branch manager waltzed into Alberta, and his name was Tearlack Macaphersoin. His demographers told him he would have no problem, yet he was blown off.

Guess why.

Because, Alberta already had right-wing nut-case organizations in place so far insanely into the hate-makes-progress spectrum that the KKK couldn't break in...

And that's who you just voted in. You idiots. Why didn't you talk to anyone from Alberta? You just voted in someone from people too right-wing for the KKK.

You know the saying about how people get the government they deserve?

You who thinks it's cute to have a hateful narrow-educated PM who thinks the way to deal with problems because that's the only way to deal with you when you're being bad???

AUHH!!!!

Our beautiful land just got taken over by neanderthal perfect puppets of super-evil Corporate America.

Therefore there's no reason to stay here.

Dumb, hateful biker psychology. Harper likes hurting situations, like when he voted No against a good proposition when he was High School students council. Normally people only do that if they have been raped as children... or, they could have grown up in the Dutch-reform church.

He's conniving. Perhaps unbeknownst to him, Americans want stability too, and they think he's a hateful, vindictive little nightmare out of something from Shakespeare... the kind of thing who would run around poking little holes in the dyke in order for nobody to notice, until one day it crashes through and Albertans get to see if their way was best, as if beavers don't know what happens when you bust the damn.

But in the mean time Charlie Browns, if you think Uncle Sam is not aware of threats from over-seas, do you want to know how aware he is if of things on his border?

Do you really think Uncle Sam would let a fascist set up north of its border any more than a communist on its border.

I bet you think Harper thinks he's safe being a right-wing nut north of Uncle Sam.

The answer is he's not. He might actually really believe he's part of the equation required to bring for the self-fulfilling prophesy called Armageddon.

All I have to do is how show Iran how to turn its rockets to the moon, and make the deal that Isreal pays for that adventure with all it's talent, ****ing war adverted.

I could get Arab women make lunches Ireali pilots, and I could get Isreali women build lunches for Arab rocket launchers.

Do any of you guys get this?

Did any of you get the education other people in Africa fight was for?

I grew up in Canada and they kept telling me I had to learn French or go to another country to tell anyone this.?

I have ideas for a tonne of English Canada jobs. So big only you are tough enough to do them.

Can you believe that a problem was reported that no women were killed during the takeout of Obama.

**** you Iggy is ambassador to the UN.

In the mean time, we have a situation where education of our kids has slipped stupidly false. Obviously you have not read the immigration manual of Canada in 1900.

I dare Harper to prove he is PM of the nation rather than ...


Thanks Harper, I just sold out to getting paid by China to show them how to colonize the mood without starting what would be for them the first world war but for you would be Armageddon.

You ****s have never prayed and (the music I am listening to..http://tunes.digitalock.com/Augusts_Rhapsody.mp3) notice how many of you resolve into feelings of hatred and fear like neanderthals.

.

Ah geez..........where do I start??? You know what? I won't even bother as you obviously have no intention of having a rational discussion without sinking to outright rudeness, innuendo, and falsehoods. I have heard of people being upset by election results before but you take it to an entirely different and very disturbing new level.

At least 2 parties on the National stage started out as underdogs - NDP & Greens - They represent a substantial portion of the population - Not all are protest votes -

Now it costs approx 27 Million for this - So I have no problem with the subsidy - But i would add a clause -

Run in at least 75 % of the ridings and gain at least 1 % of the votes based upon region and or Province.

It provides funding to get the message out. For all parties - Information at time - attack adds on others occasions. But as I mention I think it is a positive for democracy. We do not want Corps and Unions back in the mix. Small price to pay

 

[ironsides]

The fact is Canadians gave Harper a majority mandate. Harper doesn't have to listen to the other parties to impose his agenda and any other changes he'd like to make for the next 4 years. The NDP, Libs, Bloc and Green can make all the speeches and demands they want. With a majority, Harper can ignore them. In fact he doesn't even have to be present in Parliament. The news laws and policies will be dictated by Harper and the party whip will keep the Conservative backbenches quiet and compliant.

Predictions:
Canada will remain in Afghanistan for at least another 2 years or more likely Harper's entire term.
Canada will get involved in another war in support of Israeli interests, rather than Canadian interests

I hope the Liberals and the NDP merge. Otherwise they will split the vote on the left of center and the Conservatives will get another majority in the next election.

What war has Canada gotten into that was in support of Israel, you are a Israelphobic.

I for one support the government subsidy of political parties (though I do not support subsidizing a separatist party). The reason for this is that if not for subsidies, the greens would be gone and the NDP would have little left either. I think demographics support my claim in so far as older people tend to vote more conservative and older people tend to have more money. Business people I would say are also more likely to vote conservative and again, they too have more money. My bet is that if the funding was removed, we would be down to a two party system.

That's true.

Any funding for parties needs to be shared by all Canadians. Otherwise the ones paying could be influencing the vote.

Harper will increase significantly military spending while cutting taxes for the wealthy.
The gap between the rich and poor will increase dramatically.
As poor Canadians become more desperate, the crime rate will increase.
Stiffer penalties on drug addicts. Jail time for possession.
Canada will be adopt the Big Oil agenda regarding the environment.
Subsidies for political parties will end. Contribution limits will increase for individuals and corporations.

I hope the Liberals and the NDP merge. Otherwise they will split the vote on the left of center and the Conservatives will get another majority in the next election.

You mean just like Jean Chretien - Chretien and Martin sighned off on the Afghan Mission - Also please famiarize yourself with Article 5 of the NATO Treaty - For someone that abides by treaties - My error only abides by reolutions condemning Isreal -
Or the impartial UNHRC - I gagged when I typed that - Oh yes - Syria is about to take their seat on that impartial committee

It is called "democracy". The people are always right. Even when they are wrong.

In 40 years of voting, this is the first time I have been on the clear winning side.

It feels good.

I have to agree with Colpy as much as it inflames my hemroids! Democracy has spoken! I can't understand why anyone would ignor the facts but clearly over 50% chose to do so . Lets hope the damaged caused can be repaired in 4 years.

Do you recall the damage that Trudeau and Chretien caused?

 

[Stretch]

thats what happens when you vote with a pencil

 

[Unforgiven]

Do you recall the damage that Trudeau and Chretien caused?

You mean balance the budget, and start paying down the debt? Yeah I can see that surplus must have caused some problems when the Conservatives took over.

Or are you referring to when Quebec was on the cusp of separation and the Liberals stopped that from happening?
Seems to me you were far more upset at the bit of money that got nicked than anything else.

I was ticked at the largess created by Trudeau's creation of more bureaucracy.
I was ticked at the cost that creation of largess, that showed up on Mulroney's Tab.
I was ticked at the changing of immigration policy, that allowed unqualified, unskilled immigrants into Canada, en mass.
I was ticked at the cost and pressure that placed on an infrastructure, that wasn't capable of meeting the demands, and was forced to expand to meet said demands.
I was ticked at the suppression of freedom under the WMA, in which labour leaders in Naniamo, were arrested and held without the benefits of jurisprudence.
I was ticked that a petroleum company was created, that never delivered the cheaper gas prises that were promised.
I was ticked that a canoe museum was built in someone's home riding.
I was ticked that the power of the PMO was used to attack a Crown corporations head.
I was ticked that that Crown corporations head, had his right violated, while under attack from the PMO.
I was ticked at several cuts to our military.
I was ticked that the minister of the Treasury, could say he didn't know where the money went.
I was ticked that a certain party thought they were well above the law.

Money being funneled illegally, and/or wasted, really was just a minor inconvenience compared to what was truly a slap in the face of democracy and all Canadians.

To tell you the truth I haven't found a party yet that is worth pouring money into (although I did for the Provincial N.D.P. for several years before the lights came on) A political party is generally just a "monkey on your back" just like cigarettes, heroine, cocaine, none of which I believe in being a "slave" to. :lol:

No I was disgusted that after the budget was balanced in 97 that Chretien along with a few other things did as follows

Still kept on cutting medical and trades support

Denied - covered up that Canadian Soldiers were fighting in the Medak Pocket

Sent troops to War without the kit

Used the RCMP to investigate the Can Bus Dev Bank - ruined a mans career - he sued and won

Patronage appts by the boat load

Still slashed and burned with cuts and who pays the price today - Go looking for a Doctor

He was as crooked as a dogs hind leg

As to the economy - Look to Reagan - Bush who changed their economy - our largest trade partner and we benefit from that.

Free Trade - Mulroney
Acid Rain Treaty - Mr M again

Lead the fight against Apartheid - Again Mr M

Shut down - never before in Canada - The Royal Commission investigating the Military - stated it was demoralizing the soldiers - what demoralized the troops was how some Senior Officers ran their units like little kingdoms. It would have put paid to many Officers careers due to their total incompetence and outright terrorizing troops. Bad CO`s were not uncommon - and if you went against one - you were fuked-

One example -

We had one General who when inspecting Combat Troops on parade would always ask to see what underwear they had on - If they did not have the Arny Issue on they were charged - a Private in 2 PPCLI refused - they tried to charge him - but could not figure out what to charge him with - and they tried - The General who had practiced this behavior was informed to stop - only after many years

I can understand this, JLM. I once was a member of the provincial liberal party and donated funds for their campaigns - go figure, eh. 8O

I believe that if you are going to support a party then becoming a member is a natural thing to do, but that's just me and I certainly don't preach that anyone else should do the same. :smile:

Over the years I have voted for - Chretien -Manning - Harper and Iggy - But not Doris Day - I even voted for King Ralph once - Just once was enough.

 

[JLM]

I sometimes get to wondering if the same people who whine about the debt and deficit are the same bunch who whine when services get cut. Do we have another group of "professional protestors" here? :lol:

Yeah, I used to think along those lines now I think along the lines that the more supporters a party has the more comfortable they feel...............if I had cash to hand over to a political party, I think I'd hand it over to the Salvation Army instead. :lol:

Gotta love Ralph, he didn't taken any crap. Too bad he is so ill now.
