People get banned on here all the time for saying dumb stuff all the time.

That was more of a response to mindbomber saying all he sees are conservative commercials, but it's true that tv and radio companies are private. However when you keep attacking a certain party on all their political programs, should they not be stopped? The purpose of the show is to show the pros and cons of the parties instead of a vocal slugfest, not to mention censorship regarding certain parties. Posted via RS Mobile
Actually im just being overly optimistic with the world we have. Forget it.

The purpose of any TV show is to draw ratings. A vocal slugfest is a great way to get those. There's no requirement for them to include or exclude anyone they don't think will aid that end.

I have a problem with this, since it is a waste of tax payer dollars, and Canada is red, not blue. I understand why it happens, since red is associated with the Liberals. Tax dollars should not be wasted on these measures - unfortunately every party does this. Have you seen the Christie Clark commercials? Same crap, wasting tax payer dollars advertizing party policies, yet from the provincial Liberal party.
Thus as bad as it sounds, I overlook this crap, cause sadly its politics, and every party is going to do it.  | I understand that re-branding stationary and the odd commercial are not uncommon, that it's something that all governing parties have a history of doing, it just seems to me that the Conservatives have taken it much further than any other party. That being said, I'm relatively young and didn't follow politics during the liberal reign, so I may not have the most informed opinion in this instance. Quote:

Governments should not be picking winners and losers, the market should. No one entity can predict the future, government especially. Government should only intervene when citizens want it. Ie if we really want green energy, then we vote our tax dollars to pay for it. | I would be in even greater support of eliminating government subsidies all together than I would making green subsidies a priority, unfortunately eliminating subsidies altogether is completely impractical. Even if Canada didn't offer subsidies another country would, so they are necessary to stay competitive. In a global market without subsidies I believe that green technology would have progressed far further than it has. Quote:

There are proven and efficient green technologies available that would benefit Canadians, like recycling methane from dairy farms.
