http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJn5XlbSFk I know I'll have some vicious scathing rebuttal to what they said,  but I'm still in shock.

Oh no,  an Iraqi threw a shoe.... better invade Yemen!

Dion was put in a bad spot,  oppose that which he couldn't support or force an election.  Layton knew Harper would pull the same tricks of brinkmanship so he set things up to give the grits more options than caving in or having an election they couldn't afford. Ignatiff inherited a rather nice...

1) put in a memo, 2)  call the local support unit (the place you got your kit) and schedule a return date. 3)  relax while they process your paperwork. 4)  go in and sign it. some units have meetings with people in between steps 3 and four.  Where they ask you why and tell you about the...

I've said it before,  but I think this sums it up nicely. Please forgive the short post but I'm not sleeping well since Ignatiff got the interim leadership....

Hey at least I'm consistent.  ;)  But a difference of opinion of the duties of a minority government doesn't make me wrong. (nor you of course) I like to think I can disagree without being disagreeable.  And the funding cut would have cost them more money than any other party.  It wasn't just...

If I implied I though you were ignorant I apologise.  It certainly wasn't my intention.  I do want to say that no one elected a government.  One only sends one person to Parliament for the riding.  The government is then formed from the elected members. The party that is able to get its agenda...

I've heard quite a few people say things that shows they don't understand the parliamentary system) There are allot of people who think "We elected Harper to be PM".  But when one votes,  one votes for a representative for your area (riding).  That is it. The Govener General then well set up a...

Kirkhill, Thank you for adding orange explanations for those who might have ESL issues.  "Planning to do" is 'future tense'.  While I do understand your point about can/will can't/won't and do things/get things done I would like to point out that the Tories did try to do things - RIFF min...

I don't remember to many conservatives complaining about that when they used the bloc to get their previous budgets through.  (with a little extra for Quebec of course) Nor did I hear them complain about regionalism when people from the west started voting for them because "the west needs a...

Ignatieff was elected in his riding despite his 'issues', and there are many, because he was carrying the liberal banner.  His riding is as liberal red as it gets (or needs to to be a safe seat) Ignatieff crosses the floor, knowing the riding association there as I do he would be the one...

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best.  In the last house the Tories put through bill after bill and measure after measure because the Liberals refused top trigger an election.  The thought that just after the election would be the best time to push through the measures the opposition...

:)  Nope you you hammered at almost all my points. Canadians spoke for themselves when they elected a Parliament that had a majority of members that subscribe to Keynesian economics.  Even the conservatives said they would come forward with a stimulus package. The reasoning for public funding...

I have a song stuck in my head.  It goes,  "what a difference a day makes,  just 24 little hours" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1r6GcPqFSo (A favorite movie of mine  Lola Rennt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffv8I7AELqA if you have the time Unlike Lola, Harper can't simply insist that he will...
