Lets start on the federal level.-Harper will still be PM, leading a majority government, to enact legislation in line with conservative policy.-The NDP will choose a new leader that will be either an ex-union operative, a GBLT activist, or an ex-lib working to merge the NDP with the liberals. They choose the ex-lib from Quebec, they can cement their Quebec base. But lets see which tail wags

The next time you want a mayorial candidate to run on a conservative perform, you might try to find somebody who isn't a big L liberal.Fontana with his push for a 1% tax increase is only going to achieve the same dubious success at financial management as Montreal.Last I heard they finally paid off the big O, and now they have their hand out for help to pay to fix all the infrastructure that was

I like being brief, so here goes.Point one: The occupiers/communists that want to redistribute the wealth, I have one question. Lets just get to the point, how much money and benefits do you want to make things fair, and how do you expect them to be paid for?Point two: Regardless of what the "experts" are saying about the leadership of the NDP, the reality is that the party is going to be led by

So let me get this straight?The SCOC has ruled that heroin users have a right to insite because its considered treatment.What they missed like the nose on their face, is that nobody was endowed at birth with an addiction. Addictions are an imposition that either freely entered into, or forced into, is not required to continue life. Matter of fact, addictions in some cases, can be down right

Congrats liberals.If Jack gets his way he'll be in the drivers seat in a coalition.Here's the rub that none of you guys had the cognizance to understand.See if the liberals are not in the drivers seat, that coalition isn't happening.All Harper has to do is convince enough liberals to support his throne speech if he gets another minority.This observation comes down to this.Conservatives consider

Because like every federal election when the liberals get desperate, they always "reach out" and instruct the NDP vot we lend them their vote.What the coalition talking point does is it makes the NDP and the liberals campaign against each other to quash any suggestion that there is a coalition.

Its a simple observation really, that came to me like a bolt out of the blue.What makes a leader?For that matter what motivates the people that follow them?Take Sarah Pallin for example. Why does she seem to retain levels of support far in excess of numbers even the current president can't sustain?She reflects the beliefs of those that follow her.Not only that, but they can tell that with her

First point of order. The false outrage over the conservative government making the census long form voluntary hasn't damaged them, nor has much else.Harper has become not only teflon, he's also not some nancyboy like the opposition leaders and their pack of toadies.Fantino is going to win the Vaughn by-election and Iggy will have to make plans to move out to make room for that other nancyboy

The title of this post is purposely inflammatory, the reason I used it is to provide balance against the media's intent to sanitize the so-called trade from any connection to human trafficking.

To whom it may concern:Modern North America is ideologically alien to the concept of feudalism in the many forms it permutates itself into.

Kudos to the conservatives for focusing on the problem of human traffiking.I've long considered this problem to be far reaching, not just those that would force an illegal immirant into a life of servitude, but also those that deal in prostitution (willingly or unwillingly).This needs to stop, and the useful idiots that want to legalize either prostitution or de-criminalize pot need to understand

Because in that info there will be names and places of Afghan informants that the Taliban would dearly love to discover and use to locate those Afghanis that have been assisting out troops and providing information.Thats why we don't release that info, for the sake of providing security not only to the troops recieving the info, but the Afghans we are fighting to protect from the Taliban.

The latest kerfuffle within the Quebec liberal fold, between Coderre and Cauchon seems to go down the above mentioned demographic, its almost like there is a battle going on by the left wing of the party to take control.Coderre isn't what I'd call a blu-lib, he's more of the Chretien style politico. Hitch your wagon to the leader and do his dirty work for him so he doesn't get any dirt on him,

Lots of "outrage" over the move to harmonize the two sales taxes.The liberals of course are saying they oppose this.....So?Does this mean that if they are government they would reverse this decision?Perhaps reduce the federal portion....sort of what Harper promised to with the GST.....and followed through on?Or will they recommit to Chretien's classic promise to kill the fed tax?Perhaps this is

I fully expect Iggy to do some grandstanding, however if he's not careful Harper will end up giving him a wedgie.Second point. To have an election, the liberals have to have the Bloc and the NDP on

If the pundits maintain your party has to "move to the center" and the perception currently is that the LPC is too far to the left, the assumption is made then that any move would be to the right.So I ask, if the LPC is going to move to the right, what conservative principles do they agree with?More importantly, whose support are they going to lose when they do so?Ditch the carbon tax idea and

Here's a couple of ideas that should be adopted.Federally:Lets change the rules on what constitutes official party status. Namely, that unless a registered political party campaigns in more than one province, even if they do achieve more than 12 seats, the speaker won't recognize them as an official party caucus. That only takes a vote in the house and I can't think of any federalist party that

More specifically it has to do with the promise to start naming young thugs that have by the grace of past liberal adminstrations, been able to maintain their anominity in the neighbourhoods they reside in.It plays to the soccermoms that go to the ramparts whenever the authorities notify them a sexual offender has just moved into the neighbourhood.

Because when (not if) she does, the republicans just sit back and take notes for the general election. Effectively what her negative attacks will do is excuse any republican attack on her.The double edge sword is that the "experts" are now saying this is the only way she can win. So if she wins this way she can't whine about return fire during the general election. If she doesn't go on the

I also want to premise the following on the basis that this is not an endorsement of him, or any other US presidential candidate for either party.
