i agree with you but is it wrong that i want a leader (whoever it is) to stop bullshitting me. you raised my taxes last year and now that you want an election you lower it this year and say "see we know you pay to much taxes, that is why we are doing you a favor by lowering them"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

that's the rub with this gov't ... they don't give a fuck about the other 65% of the population that didn't vote for them ... why do you think municipalities are getting the screw job while federal surpluses continue to sky rocket? ... because none of the 3 big cities voted for them ...
anyways - it'll be hard to beat cons - if they continue to get votes from quebec ... as much as i'm intrigued by dion's policies - he doesn't have the support of his party nor the courage to stand up ...
his bailing on the throne speech and mini-budget were done for political saviour not for the benefit of the people ...0 -

well ... the problem is not all of them did ... the old-timers that run the party pegged ignatief and they are playing a silly game now ... they are still bitter that newcomer kennedy pulled a fast one and took dion from last to first ...
its really more where the liberal party has got to go ... it's ties to lobbyists from the old guard (chretien/martin) need to be severed ...0 -

It doesn't matter. As soon as Dion opens his mouth in a debate the voters will turn against him. He's french and has no charisma.No need to be void, or save up on life

it really goes to show what conservatives are really like these days0 -
climate change is one of the big agenda items in the commonwealth meeting in Uganda and not only is Canada not a relevant party in the discussions - most countries are worried about Canada hindering progress ...
how sad ... disgraceful ...0 -
at least the BS about them actually doing something about climate change is over now and we can see them for who they really are ... two-faced ...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is facing heavy political pressure to agree to binding targets for greenhouse gas emissions as Commonwealth summit delegates in Uganda attempt to form a strong, united front in the fight against climate change.
Other than Australia, whose leader is not at the summit, Canada is the only member of the 53-nation grouping that has not fallen in line with the wording in a climate change resolution calling for binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
The three-day conference is trying to reach a consensus before December's United Nations meeting in Bali, Indonesia, where more than 190 nations will discuss the future of the Kyoto protocol.
"One of the biggest challenges we all face [is] climate change," Malta's Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said Friday in a speech in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. "The challenge of climate change not only requires a united front, but an unprecedented level of co-operation and firm action."
But the small island nation's drive for environmental unity faces challenges from Canada's Conservative government, which does not support binding reductions.
Harper lone opponent of binding targets
In Kampala, Harper stands alone in opposition to the binding targets, as his Australian counterpart, John Howard, is not attending the meetings. Instead, Howard is at home preparing for his country's federal election.
Other than the small island nations such as Malta, which fear rising sea levels could bring mass flooding, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also stated his commitment to reducing greenhouse gases.
Diplomats have reportedly suggested Brown will attempt to persuade Harper to sign on to the agreement.
Unless the other leaders are able to win over Canada with the idea of binding targets, the nations will likely emerge from meetings with a slightly watered-down statement.
Before the climate change talks topped the agenda on Friday, the Commonwealth's suspension of Pakistan overshadowed the summit.
On Thursday, a committee of foreign ministers, including Canada's Junior Foreign Minister Helena Guergis, agreed to suspend Pakistan over President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's failure to lift a state of emergency and restore civilian rule.
The Commonwealth leaders agreed on Friday to endorse the suspension decision, made by a nine-nation Ministerial Action Grou0 -
I knew the guy was bogus.
Who hangs out with Mulroney and Stockwell Day?
Who shakes their kids hand when walking them to school?
I asked a lot of people after the election who they voted for and why. Everyone who said they voted for Harper said they didn't know why. That's great campaigning, it was all the "Accountability" card, that's why people voted for him, no other reason.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -
