I still remember Harper getting David Emerson to cross over to the Conservatives. That's when I started to accept the Conservatives. I realize it was such a good move for BC and Canada. He made Emerson the immigration minister and looked after the gateway project. To me it was putting an experienced MP in both business and politics to look after Canada's role in the pacific rim trade route. Too bad the people in the riding was voting for the party and not for who that person is and what he'll be doing for you.

I think its more based on the party's beliefs rather than the leaders.

It's also because the Liberals are closest to the centre. Socially - I lean left, but the economy is the thing that is most important to me right now.

And I know that the conservatives wouldn't do anything stupidly right wing (socially speaking - ie, gay marriage, etc) - because they can't know that would piss off half the country.

Just because you might be religious, it doesn't mean you don't believe the Earth is round or that gravity isn't God's foot keeping you on the ground. I know plenty of scientists (or at least people who have a science background) who are also religious. The two of them aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Sorry, if you are the SCIENCE MINISTER and don't subscribe to the theory evolution, or don't want to say if you do, you should be fired.

What he is saying is like not confirming his belief in that the world is round. It is that basic.

The theory of evolution is extremely well accepted by scientists world wide. I should not be controversial at all. I would even say that being Christan AND being the science minister is a conflict of interest.


And whats even more fucked is that he is a chiropractor, one of the worst, most unscientific medical practices there is.

Conservaitcves also cockblock scientists from doing research and won't fund them if it has to do with anything that might contradict christian values.

And ontop of that all research reports have to be approved by the Govermnet or face persucution if they don't before releasing it to the public.

Seriously how can you people vote for a party that might be "economicly better" when the believe that the earth is 6000 years old and hates homosexuals.

Source = http://physicsworld.com/blog/2010/09/is_the_canadian_government_muz.html

Or just google "conservative, muzzle, scientist, research". I'm sure you can find a plethora of sources.

Also "some ndp guy".

Does it matter what we even vote? We have less members in the senate than pei and we have what? 20 times the population?

We get fucked over in the west. Either way I'm voting liberal.

Its too bad the Progressive Conservative party was duped into merging with old Reformers. Most of these Conservative-voting Liberals would likely be voting PC instead of voting for these religious dipshits.

???????????

The merging was the best thing that happened to the parties.

Look how fast Stephen Harper became Prime Minister after assuming the helm.

Quebec doesn't really want to split. They just want to mooch more money off Canadians.

If Quebec wants to split, they could easily do so. The only problem is that winning seats in Quebec is almost a prerequisite to form government. If Harper could win more seats in BC and Ontario, we would be seeing less pandering to Quebec separatists.

The loss of the PC party to a merged Conservative party means there are less options for voters. Its a move towards a dysfunctional 2-party system like they have in the US. The more parties you have, the more likely you will find one that aligns with most of your ideologies

a thousand years ago it was common knowledge the world was flat. it's that basic.


creationism was extremely accepted by scientists world wide at that time too.



see what i did there?



just because something is widely accepted by people doesn't necessarily mean its true.

True, but to me personally, I think the economy is a more important issue than gay marriage and the like. Since the Tories are the only ones on the right side economically, my vote has to go that way.

The English and French questions are rather ambiguous.

Well, that's not really the right way to say it either.

What I'm trying to say is...fuck the French. Decisions should be made in English.
