due to spending to appease other parties because of a minority gov't.

LOL this is one of my Fraternity brothers who I think is a douche canoe. He's made so many dumb comments on Facebook, thankfully the media didn't get the rest of them - especially the ones about loving Sarah Palin. I still cannot believe he works on the hill, the only reason he's there is cause he's such a fucking brown noser. I hope his career is done.

Yeah that looks totally legit, not put up by some anti-right winger to make them look bad. Totally.

They all do that shit. Even China does it.

harper wants to get rid of the 2$ a vote. I will not support american style politics. You shouldn't either.

^ You sound like you're getting paid to post shit.

sounds like you pay yourself to stick your fingers in your ears.

We have rules against certain types of donations preventing American style big donations buying votes - yet you knew this, right? :whistle:

:banghead:

Gun Registry. ;)

Federal, not Municipal. That's in Nov.

How two teenagers got kicked out of a Conservative party rally

Oh snap!!!! my dads got pictures with both Paul Martin and Stephen Harper and he's a liberal party member.

All hail King Harper. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

wow...

thats just further tarnishing the rep of the conservies....

Oh well. People that make the effort to attend rallies often have their mind already made up, they are either there to support or to cause shit. Either way, they are not the voter the Conservatives hope to sway. Their campaign is very locked down to come across as calm, cool, collected to sway the people who don't care about all the political nonsense and just want a sensible government not making waves. Thus these people won't even pay attention to this, so it is a non issue the opposition is trying to run with.

what would stop a conservative majority from changing the rules if they control the house?

do you even know who put the federal accountability act into place was?

I also know who broke his own election law.

touche. he did indeed do that. i was actually mildly surprised that canadians as a whole didn't care at all about that, and gave him more seats when he called that election.

just like this contempt thing -- canadians don't care one bit at all. it's a non-issue in this election.

Or maybe they don't understand and too uneducated to understand. Don't mistake the lazyness of vancouverites who live in a bubble with the rest of Canada.

I think it's more likely they've all blindly bought into the whole 'The Conservatives will save us with their economic magic!' hysteria.

This is possibly the lowest IQ thread on RS.

The NDP platform is out, and judging by all the promises taxes will be going up, corporate taxes specifically. We only need to look slightly south for an example of what happens when corporate taxes are increased. Illinois state increased taxes while neighboring states lowered corporate taxes - I'll let you guess what businesses have decided to do. Its actually gotten so bad that corporations in Illinois get phone calls from the Governor offices of other states to encourage them to move to a tax advantages state.

Thus it is nice that Layton thinks he can increase taxes and create jobs, yet reality says otherwise.

Then there is his cuts to small business tax and incentives to hire. No small business is going to hire permanently just cause a few month's salary is paid for via a tax credit. They need to be doing more business to hire more people - which just isn't happening right now. Look around Vancouver at the number of empty commercial buildings.

:failed:

your talking about one state raising taxes not a whole country. If all the states raised taxes what do you think would have happened?

Harper is just copying Bush, from his campaign tactics to his policies.
