Hey John, your observation is completely valid, I suspect the same!

A voters dilemma and a way out.
Harper is reforming the Conservatives in a way that the majority of Canadians fear. If he gets in with a minority he will act as if he is the majority and who would dare bring him down and precipitate a new election. A strategy is needed to unify the vote against Harper.

To a person other parties leaders are against him. Elizabeth Mae said she would like to see a Liberal minority. Ducette shows nothing but contempt. Dion accuses Harper of lying. But Jack Layton gave the clue to Harper's defeat.

Jack Layton urged NDP supporters to vote NDP because it would mean $1.63 into NDP coffers for the next go around. The same goes for all other parties. To vote for your candidate of choice is - and we all know this - a wasted vote that in many cases will enhance the possibility of another Harper minority. We get Harper and your party gets another $1.63.

Donate $3.66 to the party of your choice and vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the "Conservative" in your riding. The result of this would be to double the finances of the party you choose, publicly demonstrate the popular support they have and it may be the only way to defeat Harper.

I have my cheque ready. Will you join in this effort? Like the election to the south of us it would revitalize the grass roots, take the power from the board rooms putting it in the kitchens of the nation.

Act now to spread the word. Little time left to save this nation from the Harper economics.

Ok, I'm not even going to touch the comment about him poking fun, but for conversation's sake, lets say he did. He didn't, but lets say he did.

So, minister makes an inappropriate comment. Hmm, yep. According to our laws thats not a crime.

Impersonating the leader of the country, umm, yep, that is a crime.

Your attempt at linking the two events is pathetic, as is your understanding of reality.

Dan in Windsor: "As it stands, I honestly believe that gov't policy towards families have been made so that previous Liberal gov'ts could justify increasing immigration because they saw that immigrants voted consistently Liberal."

I would put nothing past the Liberals. Nothing.

The other thing they did to discourage families with kids, was to encourage women to work outside the home. The Liberal taxation policy for families living on one income with a parent home--usually mom--to care for the kid/s was to tax us to the max.

Advantage for the Liberals of having women stream into the workplace? They collected taxes/revenue from them. My staying home collected no revenue and pretty much assured an independent voice speaking out against a lot of their social engineering policies.

Liberals = bad news for families with kids

Liberals x 13 years = families with very few kids, big "need" for immigration

'Anyway you cut it, women in the workplace, immigration meant BIG BUCKS and LOTSA VOTES for the Liberals.

Manitoba Telephone System – or, at least that's what it was when I was growing up in Winnipeg.

When I lived in Winnipeg (grew up there), MTS was Manitoba Telephone System. If I am not mistaken, it is now part of the Bell Canada family of telecommunications companies. I could be wrong but I think it's part of Bell.

EI benefits, if they can be called that, are 55% of “insurable” earnings. The maximum for insurable earnings is $41,000 (roughly). So your EI premiums stop being deducted when you pass $41k gross earnings. Now, when you want to claim EI for parental leave, or any other allowed claim, you only get 55% of $41k if you made $41k or more. I'd be having more kids if my taxes went to pay for 100% of their education. I'd be having more kids if I could split my income with my wife. As it stands, I honestly believe that gov't policy towards families have been made so that previous Liberal gov'ts could justify increasing immigration because they saw that immigrants voted consistently Liberal.

Watch this post to be flagged.
