    So now this fahmy guy is back stirring shit.
    http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/fahmy-thanks-mulcair-trudeau-you-know-who-i-m-not-voting-for-1.2606916
    Fahmy said that, because he is a journalist, he “cannot endorse anyone.”
    However, I’m very clear in my gratitude to Mr. Mulcair and (MP) Mr. Paul Dewar and the NDP for their support,” he said.

    “You do know who I’m not voting for,” he added. “That’s for sure
    .”


    What a snake.
    No wonder he was in jail for subversion.
    He is doing it again.

    yikes ... did you even follow the case!? ... if you were fahmy - you would MOST definitely not vote for Harper ... please read up on his case ...

    if anything what Harper did was keep him in jail longer than he needed to ... they actually impeded his release ...

    Harper at least promises not to raise taxes.
    Turdo will run deficits
    New Disaster Party will just do whatever with the economy and see what sticks
    The Green Party will propose we recycle all money in order to use it twice.

    So to recap everything... As I take a break from here again as I can only handle so much of the uber left wing rhetoric and silly posts of other people views and links to news stories from the watered down media we already read:

    1) I've never once said who I am going to vote for
    2) you are all convinced I am voting for Harper
    3) some think I am hypocrite because I learned from my mistakes (interestingly, I went to the Lethbridge Food Bank four times as a student and I send them $100 every year, I don't forget)
    4) if anyone doesn't agree with people who think Harper is pure evil that person is wrong
    5) it appears people who lean far to the left are extremely closed minded. To the point of a lack of respect of any view which isn't consistent of their own
    6) not one of you know me, but you have many assumptions.. Good for you :smiley:
    7) the internet isn't real and all of you are wasting your time arguing here while doing NOTHING
    8) I am fine with the way things are and I don't want to pay more taxes.

    No matter who wins and takes hold of the government, you are going to complain. Then you are going to bitch and moan how the corporations run the world. All the while doing nothing because you say stupid shit on Twitter or Facebook, or because you dropped acid and freaked out at age 19. Or it's just because you like to complain.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, running a country is no easy job, many have tried and so few have left office revered (remember when they considered renaming Canada's largest mountain after PET? :lol: )
    So carry on with your left wing propaganda, I will lurk in the shadows laughing. Most of all though, get out there and vote on the 19th, even if you spoil your ballot, because above everything else I believe in democracy.

    Cheers! Oh yeah and 27 days till I see PJ in Santiago. I'm so blessed... What a great country we live in.

    I've always found it quite interesting when I see someone comes on the internet to argue and then make fun of people who come on the internet to argue?

    and makes jokes about saying "stupid shit" because they did drugs at a young age, something they have previously admitted to.

    and pigeon holes people into one ideology and way of thinking, with little to no evidence of that, all the while doing the same themselves.

    I think someone lives under a bridge.

    Not going to respond to everything you posted, because it was all laid to rest and you picked up the ball and reiterated the same waste of time arguments.
    But I live under a bridge yes. Downtown. I drew some blood. This city she loves me :wink:

    I am not sure why you continue to attack me personally, but I'm generally surprised by your lack of understanding that a young man makes mistakes and your general lack of a sense of humour.

    all laid to rest? because you say so? alrighty then.

    not a personal attack. your little point by point presentation required a response, since it was so full of vitriol. all of it wrong, by the way.

    read carefully. we all make mistakes. some of us just don't judge and get all high and mighty when others do the same.

    I've presented him with some distasteful facts (twice actually) regarding Harper's terms and Dignin has as well.

    1Thought has ignored them and instead has chosen to label all those tired of Harper's obscene leadership as extreme, left wing socialists. In fairness... I'm not sure what he could really say though- how can you defend Harper or support him in any other way than to mock and discredit opponents (just like Harper is doing right now!).

    He's not as interested in legitimate debate as much as he claims to be- I mean... read the questions put to him and read his discourse... er... duck and dodge tactics (more appropriately).

    When he's older and relying on our medical system... he'll come around (he's for social programming when he needs access to it). Until then... we should just be patient with his impetuous behaviour.

    Ah, to be a "libertarian" in Canada; you get to feel all edgy and hip complaining about big government and excessive taxes, all the while still enjoying universal health care, decent schools, safe neighbourhoods almost everywhere, paved roads, and oodles of parkland.

    Nice, I often think the same of American libers, but it's even more pertinent to Canadians.

    Puhhhhhhlease. All you are doing is piling on. I actually had more respect for you.

    And it was over because thirty called a truce. We had moved on, you stayed behind.

    "All of it wrong" :lol: Yeesh... It is wrong that I am fine with the way thing are? How can you tell me how I feel is wrong? You honestly don't think I'm a Harper supporter... commmme on.
    Have you been open to any praise of our PM at all? Really?

    Because of your lack of objectivity whatsoever, I cannot do anything but laugh

    *rolling my eyes* I don't believe everything someone else posts off of Wikipedia. Nor will I debate it. I will debate your own thoughts and opinions. Not cut and paste facts.






    Once again, (wow this is getting repetitive :lol: ) I have concerns with all the leaders.

    I do have a bigger problem with Trudeau than the other 2, I am just not sure what color the sky is in his world. Cut taxes and increase spending, yes that always works. "Build the economy from the heart out" yeah that works. The more he speaks, the more I hear is just fluff.

    Harper is secretive and muzzling and I don't like C51 (which Trudeau supports). (How is that duck and dodge?). He is actually promising to spend more money than I would like too. Can't someone promise to curb spending? Why do people have to watch their budget but the government doesn't?

    Mulcair is just not engaging, he has been left behind, plus the CBC has thrown all their support behind Trudeau.

    Anyways, I have given you thought provoking answers to your debate attempts and you come back with....Nothing and more nothing *yawn*

    Strive for the middle dude!

    Now it's not ok to be libertarian? Wow, this is getting wild.

    So it's wrong I think gays should be able to marry? That pot should be legalized? Sheesh, you are all whack.

    You can have all the social,programs we have without big government. Except the CBC. That's gotta go.

    Well,

    It's amazing to me that everyone thinks it's better to tax the rich more. The people with money who risk everything they have to build a business, which creates jobs for those who want a more secure life. With that risk, comes reward or possible abject failure.
    In creating those jobs, they employee people who also pay taxes. The price you pay for the security of a job.
    Now, I am no longer a business owner. It is tough sledding, it is a lot of pressure and the Feds DO tax you plenty (write offs help a little, but not what you may think)
    I believe the government can continue to provide many of the same necessary services to Canadians with a smaller government and reduced spending.
    In fact, I would,save health care by making people pay premiums on a sliding scale (based on income), until you reached $25,000/yr and then you would be fully subsidized (sounds like a hard line tea party supporter eh?)

    But you have all worn me out with your narrow minded view of the world. Because I don't completely agree that Harper is evil and is going to destroy the country and take a more objective view, most of you can't handle it. Just like anyone else, you pick and choose what statistics you want to cut and paste that merely fits your agenda. Funny thing, I have been the most objective one on the board.
    Fact is, I have let my concerns be known, no matter who wins I think we have vapid leadership.

    As for thirty, and Hugh and softreading and whomever else Has decided I'm this boards public enemy number 1, sorry but you just couldn't convert me. :smile:
    I would give you credit for a nice try, but never once did anything you post even convince me that I should vote one way or another.
    All anti-Harper, but you never once mentioned any reason WHY I should vote for the other two. Not one thing. What are the Libs or NDP offering that is any different? Why should I vote for them?
    You don't have any reasons, because there aren't any. It's just about "change". Do you really see any change happening? Was the US any different with Obama?
    I want different, in 2019.. Il be running for the Libertarian Party of Canada. (Talked to them already)

    Happy voting! Most important thing is to vote for the Canada YOU want, not your children or grandchildren. After all. It's ok for them to pay all your debt right :clap:
