ya ... regardless of how the liberal senators respond ... it's a good move politically ...

Just abolish it ... First have a referendum, if the people say abolish, then start the process. But ask the people what they want, that not to difficult ... Attach the referendum to the 2015 election ... Heavon forbid the fucking politicians ever asked the taxpayer his or her wishes. What Trudeau did was politics nothing more nothing less. As for sitting as independents they form groups anyways and beside they in for life they should be able to vote their conscious ... Fucking their fucking politicians ... They have no soul, how they look themselves in the mirror is beyond me.

don't ever lose that hate you got going on ... hahahahahaha ...

my only problem with abolishing the senate is then what checks and balance do we have if some party has a majority gov't and putting through ridiculous legislation? ....

for me they need to be independent and there needs to be term limits

Hate a strong word ... But when it comes to politicians, maybe not. I'd prefer proportional representation and abolish the senate.

Huh. Jim Flaherty suddenly dropped dead. That's sad for his family.

lukin2006

Maybe he was sicker than he let on ... Yes sad for his family.

I'm not going to lie, I was way more bummed hearing we were losing the Colbert Report.

R.I.P. nonetheless

There was a side of Jim Flaherty that maybe I didn't see ... but the statements and interviews of people who worked with him no matter their political affiliation was quite unreal.

As in pretty much unbelievable? If that's what you mean, I concur.

Exactly ... Let's not forget he has done a lot of damage to the middle class and poor people. Ushered in the largest deficit in Canadian history, inherited a huge surplus, to boot.

I'm also more bummed about the cuts to CBC......due in large part to the cuts by our former Finance Minister.

Edit: how I used ``are`` instead of ``our`` I don`t know.

Speaking of the greens.....

I recently reviewed the Green Party Web site. The Idea hit me because I can't vote Con or Lib ever again. I always vote, call me crazy but I just can't cop out of something so important. Anyway, I like what I saw in the green party values and mission statements and it will always be a toss up with the NDP. I think this country, indeed the world is in dire need of new, radical direction and leadership. The doomsday clock is ticking. We need to shift power away from the money establishment, for money has no consideration of people or the environment that sustains all life. If a party like the greens where to have a the stage, maybe we could claw back some of the laws that give banks and corporations so much power over the people and the environment. Money is killing the world and it needs to go. By the way, I wrote a little ode to taxes today. You can find it in Poetry and Prose- instant thoughts-page 41- under the title CHOKE ON IT TAXMAN. Nice thread, join the Z movement friend.

Each day that passes I agree more and more with the great comedian George Carlin.

Thanks for those very funny and completely frightening clips, they had me laughing and concerned simultaneously. Rick Mercer has been a beacon for exposing the most ridiculous facts about Canadian Government for years. Sadly, a 39% voter turnout plays right into the hands of big money government. Conservative's vote.....to a man, woman and clone. This is why the new laws that look to stop voting without Government ID are on the table. It's sure to get a 38% voter turnout and a bigger PC majority.
Look, I try and make it a point of my life to not tell people what to do. I have come completely to terms with that little line at the bottom of my posts. But, when it comes to politics, I can't hold back. People gotta get informed. Take a stand for what you believe in and choose. It's ok to be wrong, its ok to vote for the "also ran". But Carlin has it all wrong for Canada, he is totally right for America, its all the same secret society running that show....and they are evil.
Lets get some social democrats in Parliament. Lets get some environmentalists in the house. Lets kick out the corporations and the financial Warlocks. They really don't give a flying Fcuk about anyone....at all, they have proven it. We need responsible, considerate people making decisions about everything and we need real discussion about the imminent danger the present free market, monetary way of doing thing has gotten us into here. Eddie V said it best in "Infallible". Its time we best begin here at the ending.

Thanks for the Thread, I liked the vids.
