And why do we need a disproportional amount of politicians for the relatively small population? You'd think with increased technology they could eliminate some of these politicians and bureaucrats? And why can't they be part-time?

I don't think that a minoroty government is a good thing. It tends to really prevent shit from getting done.
It kept Harper in check for 5 years and shit still got done just not one parties priorities. They had to work together and compromise(not just the cons but all the parties). Was the best 5 years of politics. With the exception of everyone trying everything the could to cause an election so they could try to claw their way to the top. Minority governments are the closest you will ever get to fair representation.

Not really. We have a majority govt right now and no one is complaining about not being represented fairly. Especially the NDPers that need anybody and anyone to guide them.

The Liberals are not even a year into their mandate ... oh and spending (bribing) folks to the tune of 23 billion (tax free I believe) a year of their own money keeps the the voters at bay for a while, not forever though ...

^^^ Why is it not right to say now that as a country with a majority govt we are all happy? Clearly our country has what we wanted.
You do realize that the liberals only got 39% of the vote in the last election?? The cons and ndp combined received over 50% ... thats why people want proportional representation.

You think the last 5 years under Harper was the best 5 years of politics????? I am really surprised to see you say that. I could not possibly disagree more. The only shit that got done was pretty bad shit, plus a bunch of scandals.

Oh yeah, don't know why I actually read the "last" 5 years somewhere in there. But anyway, same goes for the first 5 years. I actually remember specifically how I kept thinking the minority government situation sucked. It actually reminded me of Congress and the Senate over the past 8 years, except Harper was part of the problem.

WTF Alberta, why would you invite her to speak in your legislature. If you in Alberta are taking any advice from the Ontario Liberal Party your fucked. The Ontario Liberal Party has been under 3 OPP investigations, part of more multi million and billion dollar boondoggles than one could ever imagine, doubled Ontario's debt in less than 15 years ... oh yeah, lets not even discuss what they've done with Ontario Hydro, and was recently back tracking on the possibility of banning natural gas in 2030 on new home construction ... even funnier is supposedly there will be rebates in the future to convert homes in the province to electric heat, the only people who would ever do that in this province are the ones with their head buried in the sand and have not read/discussed with people who heat with hydro ... and their bills are a small fortune.
She is the reason to remain skeptical of prime minister moonbeam ... if he's taking advice from her then Canada's fucked ... but I'm willing to see how it goes with him, he's learned 1 thing from her ... how to spend money we don't have.

Also she was not under attack because she's a woman ... she was under attack because she's the most unpopular premier in Canada ... the wild rose knew this and took the opportunity to score political points with Albertan's ... even the liberal leader in Alberta was late for her speech ... probably wants to keep his distance from her and the Ontario Liberals.

the posters statement didn't specify when he had a minority ... nor does it matter ... he was in minority for part of his time as prime minister ... so if you read it that way you are wrong.

Why don't you ask the poster (northern dragon) after all they posted the comment ... maybe you should address their other statement as well directed toward.

^^^ If the poster wants to respond fine. In the meantime there seems to be different opinions on what was meant. In fact it seems that there is only one way to take it unless you want to be wrong.

Yes.
Liberals want proportional representation only when they are the opposition.
We have a majority govt that Canada loves.

The only thing that I find funny is that all the Harper haters are not current PM lovers.

That's no way to talk about our majority liberal govt.
We got what we voted for Canada!
Loving the sarcasm leave1. Hysterical...
And correction... Eastern Canada got what they wanted. After that it was a moot point
Well if you can't beat em....
It is rather refreshing talking and acting like a liberal, not a care in the world.
La, di, dah.
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
Boo hoo. Wah. Wah. Me no likey. Wah.
Come on, fellas... Harper was a Gumby. The country did get what they wanted and comparatively speaking... we're feeling pretty damn good !
Gotta admit... it's refreshing acting like a tool on this forum, not a care in the world.
