Gimbol's diatribe and screed

On the federal byelections

Due to the recently called byelections I'd like to offer some sample questions to the candidates. If anyone in those neighbourhoods gets the chance I won't be offended if someone decides to use them and press the candidates with one of these.

1. If your party where to form government would you take steps to stop Canadian defence industries from supplying the US military if those products where being used in Iraq?
2. Does your party favour giving one province more recognition in the constitution than any of the other provinces?
3. Does your party agree that our military should have an independent airlift capability to deploy effectively outside of Canada when assistance is requested?
4. Does your party favour placing restrictions on those Canadians seeking private health care outside of Canada?
5. Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?
6. Does your party believe we can negotiate with terrorists?
7. Does your party favour government run prostitution?
8. Does your party favour legalizing pot?
9. How does a needle exchange stop the trafficing of illicit and illegal drugs?
10. How does a gun registry stop the distribution and use of unregistered firearms in the commission of a crime?
11. Should illegal immigrants be given immunity from immigration laws?
12. Does your party support embryonic stem cell research? If so where would you get the embryos from?
13. How does your parties enviromental policy clean up the air we breathe? How is pollution different from a green house gas?
14. In those cases where natives have occupied land, the court rules that no legitimate claim exists, and if the province requested assitance to remove the occupiers, would your government send in the army to remove the natives?
