Canada punts Liberals

Re: Canada punts Liberals

HM, Canada's sovereignty has been disregarded by<br />many nations, which include but is not limited to<br />The Soviet Union, The British, the U.S.A. But that<br />is another topic.<br />Strength has never been defined by weakness or the<br />inability to provide support to issues important to<br />Canada.<br />I know you are a Liberal, and respect that. <br />However, the U.S. is as a divided Country as Canada <br />when it comes to politics. If the course<br />that the Liberal government has charted for Canada<br />does not change, And the absolute power that<br />the East has in deciding how we are defined as a nation.<br />Then the party of corruption and greed will cause<br />the dismantling of our great Country. <br />But it does appear that LIBERALS are disgusted <br />with their own party and see that it cannot continue <br />unchecked. We are in desperate need of<br />balance and this is our opportunity to make it so.

Canada clean up their border act? How about the U.S? We are not doing anything about illegal immigration.....Dubya's answer is, "Let 'em in". This country needs to stop all immigration, legal or not.....BTW, having spent last weekend in Vancouver, B.C. reminded me of just how many Arab/muslims are right across the border.... .....JK

Well I just got home from the polling station and they wouldn't give me a blue thumb! Oh well the turn out is strong in my area and I hope we give the bums in Ottawa the heave-ho ! My only concern is we'll be doing this all over again in 18-24 months if there is no majority.

Re: Canada punts Liberals

You have to remember that the term "Liberal" refers to a political party, and not necessarily to a political philosophy. And certainly the Canuck "conservatives" , while to the right of the liberals, cannot be confused with the right wing in the USA.<br /><br />That being said, Canadians are people too, and subject to fundamental human nature. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely--The liberal party has been in charge for 12 years, has become corrupted, and in need of a change.<br /><br />Throw the rascals out, and replace them with a different bunch of rascals. It is not a unique phenomenum, and hardly signals a momentous shift in political philosophy.

How about "Mean People Suck"?<br /><br />Sorry, couldn't help it. FWIW I get a different take from that one. It's like the ultimate statement of irony, ya know, "you suck for saying I suck".

So QC, Why all the hostility towards Canadians. I don't think they suck. Why do you foster so much hate?<br /><br /><br />

Re: Canada punts Liberals

PW, The word "Liberal" not only refers to a<br />political party in Canada. It most certainly refers <br />to a political philosophy. This is the 39 election<br />night in Canadian history. It has shaped into one<br />of the most important. The poles close in less than<br />half an hour. If the Conservatives win this <br />election it will usher in a lead in political<br />philosophy. Maybe not new but definitely blowing <br />in a different direction.

Re: Canada punts Liberals

Canadians are very proud of their independence and the principle of Canada's sovereignty is important! Canadians may not see the need for a defensive military; but, they see the military as a symbol of Canada's Independence and sovereignty. <br />Canada served proudly and ably in prior wars and those who served see the current state of the military disgusting. So much has been striped from the military to support social welfare programs that most up here feel it is disgraceful.<br /><br />I find it hard to understand when others question another's patriotism/loyalty/love of their country. Even some we may loath because of their country's government, as individuals they love their country just as much as any. Iran comes to mind. Attack my leaders just don't attack my country! BTW I'm USA citizen.<br /><br />AND, I'm pulling for the Conservatives!!<br /><br />And, if you want a perspective of the health care system -- ask any you will receive. Or, vote Hillary in and get your experience first hand!

Re: Canada punts Liberals

NOSLEEP....you sleep well tonight.....in a couple years, we will be hearing the horror stories about the Conservatives, and how they are screwing us.<br />EVERY political party has done that to Canada...they are no different.<br />What Canada needs is a whole new gov't....not the NDP, then Libs, then Conservatives....over and over.<br />Although I do not agree with everything the Green party says, I think it is time to have someone on gov't, like them....so we we could see a different perspective in gov't, from a different party.<br />You have your right to vote Conservative....I'm not arguing that. <br />I just don't agree with their agenda...again <br />Hopefully they will do something GOOD for Canada...lets see what happens

Re: Canada punts Liberals

The Conservative had control of the government years ago with Brian Mulroney for quite some time. He got thrown out, (Actually it was what's her name, I forget) in favor of the liberals.<br /><br />And the pendulum swings again, as it will again and again. And so it goes.

Re: Canada punts Liberals

Although no one can say for sure what one party<br />or another will bring to the table when forming<br />a new government. Most of the rhetoric and spin<br />that is now called fear mongering in regards to <br />what the Conservatives agenda really is.<br />I would think that some one from as far West as<br />your signature says you are B.C., you might be a little<br />pleased to find that you may now have a greater <br />voice in the affairs of Canada.<br />The Green Party did not win a single seat in this<br />election and is years away from being able to form<br />any kind of government. Hence I would not waist<br />my vote on a idea. Although I do like some of the<br />ideas they have brought forward in their campaign.<br />If they stick around and become a voice for change <br />that has some potential,they would likely garner my<br />support for them.<br />The fear of this conservative party is unfounded.<br />However If you like more government and you need<br />to be supported by it,and prefer a government <br />that will make your decisions for you. Than you<br />might be justified in your worry.<br />This new government will help restore the Canada we<br />were all once proud of. <br />Give Stephen a chance, He is young and does not<br />represent the far right that the Liberal brush<br />has painted him with. <br />He will bring less government and a voice for the<br />interests important to Western Canada and for<br />national unity.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. The Conservatives must form an alliance with Quebec Seperatists if they want to rule the country, due to the fact that the Conservatives are running a minority goverment, and there's noone else they can ally with. <br />No offence, but most folks who are posting here are as ignorant of our electoral system (and country) as I am of yours. And labeling "conservative" and "liberal" (whatever that means, outside your borders) to our "Conservative" and "Liberal" parties is evidence of your ignorance. The Conservative party, for example, is a construction of a Western (read Albertan) promotional party ("Reform", then "Alliance") and the old tory party (the "Progressive Conservatives") which had English & Scottish roots, and is therefore still popular here with old Loyalist families. They still call themselves "Tories" as a matter of fact, although whether that's accurate is a matter for debate.<br />The "Liberals" are historically the lower class' party. Immigrants, Catholics, and military were it's traditional support. Mind you, a lot of that doesn't apply either anymore. But they've been called "Liberal" an awful long time. It's the strong federalist party.

Re: Canada punts Liberals

Todays a new day, and a new beginning for Canada.<br />A day which I am thankful for. We can soon start<br />repairing some of the damage done to Canada over<br />the last 13 years of totalitarian rule.<br /><br />I guess its not hard to tell how disgusted I am<br />with how this Country has been run.
