Stephen you are right. If all parties had to apply for donation and operate via donations only
We would have different system and ” see bright ideas rather than brash invectives”
Which is why the oppositions parties went nuts in the house when cancellation of money per vote was proposed. Besides we see every day, how the media is trying to destroy Stephen Harper. The issue with the host is one fine example. If they had bothered to let the Camera run they might have seen that he consumed the host. As a Catholic I have no problem with this
and PM has openly stated that he will accept the host and consume it when it is offered.
Of course that would not be in the inerest the all the lefties. By the way I wonder if this system is not the underlying reason why so many people don't vote. Could it be they don't want to give their vote to a party even as the lesser evel, who then gets money for this vote?

Here's more of the tory dirt they can't wait to spew even if its not true;how embarrassing and stupid:

STEPHEN HARPER just couldn’t hold it in any longer.

The prime minister had kept his Wolverine-style, dagger-like claws retracted for a spell, calling a smiling truce with the Liberals late last month for the greater good.

But just like X-Men’s brooding hero, the knives eventually popped out, this time causing some political embarrassment and raising questions about Harper’s instincts and about his advisers.

Harper was forced to apologize to Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff on Friday after he launched into an unsolicited — and it turns out unwarranted — tirade against his political rival.

He took time out of a closing news conference at the G8 summit in Italy to attack Ignatieff for something the man never said and no reporter had asked about. The misattributed comments were about Canada possibly becoming irrelevant at major international summits, and were made by an academic.

keep supporting these idiots Omanator and then look in the mirror and see what kind of Canadian you really are.

well well another expert in dumb down stuff. Put this in your pipe and smoke it. this is the kind of true legacy left by chretien and Martin not the sleazy and low down dirty stuff played by the useless reformatories who have no economic policies other than downloading debt to the public.

So it is that the Tories are obsessing about another North American political success story, that of the Canadian Liberal Party, which swept to power in 1993 and proceeded to implement the biggest reduction in government spending in the country's history, eliminating a crippling C$42bn (£22bn) budget deficit in just four years. The international acclaim was raucous: The Wall Street Journal had proclaimed Canada "an honorary member of the Third World" in 1993, when its national debt was heading towards a peak of 72 per cent of the size of the economy; in 1998, Paul Martin, the finance minister, was heralded by Business Week magazine for having produced "a maple leaf miracle". The centrist Liberal Party went on to further electoral success – and Mr Martin inherited the prime minister's office. No wonder the Conservatives are salivating.

Note well that they are not salivating about Canadian Tories who are phoney conservatives and really run by religious right nutbars.

Terry . the only response you have is BS. No concrete proof that Gabby is wrong.
If there ever was a non accountibily Government with the give me, give me theme it was the Chretien Liberals.

Gabby..the lone QC tory

1. Accountability and the tories don't go together. they plaster people with all sorts of verbal diaherra but don't deliver. witness the manner in which they are treating the PBO guy. Their overall accountability perfromance is zilch.

2. So they are meeting targets? That is not what provincial premiers are saying. I call BS.

3. That was also true in the Libs days in power and probably a carryover from those days because generalissimo Harpo hasn't been able to find time to cut more aid.

4. I think its still too early to make those comments factual. Lets see where they are in their September report card. The first one was full of marshmellows, all soft and squishy.

5. and guess who mad ethat agremeent in 2005...thanks for the liberal praise.

Nice try Gabby!!!!
