Toronto Coalition Government rally.

Alright Allison, Jan 26th. I don't agree with you, but we'll see.

Until then, there isn't much to say.

 

Its not true that the people have the power. If it were true than this mess would never have happened. The best theories of democratism say that the power of the people is forfeit through the act of voting. Which justifies Harper's acts, but not the coalition. For the coalition to have agency among the people, much more than the single qualification of 'i didn't vote for harper' is required. I didn't vote for Harper, ought I be included in the majority of the coalition? No. I didn't vote at all, but I still meet the only qualification for inclusion in the majority.

The general will of the people must be met and must be in the best interest of the people. It isn't happening in canada. If you were to ask the smart dead people, they'd laugh at us and tell us that our notion of canada as a democratic state is a joke.

 

I think the reason we didn't get an answer Fitzy, is nobody in Canada really knows what the hell the Coalition is trying to do.

I read a handful of commentaries and they all said pretty much "Bollocks."

Which I believe is some sort of Newfie word for "Huh?"

 

The thing is that they are still hidden. Remember when they tried to convince us the first time around that he didn't have a hidden agenda? I didn't buy it then and I don't buy it now. He's a very machiavellian leader and I'd say one of the best that Canada has ever had. Strictly in terms of political prowess. Hence the extreme measures the left must take to simply remain in existence!

The fact of the matter is that Harper has done well for himself. He's donned the sheep's clothing and convinced a few people along the way. The man is a libertarian and a fiscal conservative. Lowering corporate taxes to put them alongside the rest of the world, cutting tax, and offering incentives for businesses that can actually employ people. Stability will come. But a recovery period is necessary. Canada has to suffer to get better. Ever watch the Leafs? The last thing Canada should do is bail out industry that is going to need bailing out in another six years. Why sustain the unsustainable?

 

What do you want to know exactly? Cause most of us are really still trying to figure it all out for ourselves. I can't speak for everyone else, but your questions will be more easily answered in a year from now, once we have all had a chance to sit back and digest what is going down.

 

lode and i don't want to wait 1 year to figure this out
we want answers now

 

couple of cowboys.

 

I'm not really intimately familiar with your parliamentary system.

I'm not really sure how the parties NDP and Liberal...

I'm not sure what the laws or protocol are regarding the coalition they're trying to form is.

I'm not really sure after reading a bunch of commentary, what the coalition they're trying to form is? It's to tackle the economic problems I've read, but I'm not sure what they want to accomplish.

What I've sort of gathered by reading is it's an effort by the disparate Canadian liberal parties to act in a more united manner.

I'm not sure how this will affect the outcome of the parliament other than having a new prime minister (Dion?).

Anything you can shed some light on would be appreciated.

 

Texas.

 

Aristartle will be happy to answer all of the above.

 

Should I spank her if she can't?

 

ooooh. she's a feminazi.


Yes. you should.

 

I'm a feminist too.

What can I say, I just like a good spanking. We have equal rights in the relationship and I'm going to spank you.

 

lets keep it at 'them' lode. Keep 'er clean. Although, I think nesta might up for a little dance.

 

So you want me to spank Nesta now?

What'd he do?

 

i have no feelings on the matter either way. just seems like the kind of guy that might get a kick out of it.

ok. i lied. this is me feeling altruistic.

 

Waking, it is democratic to form a coalition. Historically, we've done it.

Watch this to understand:

Oh, so that's why you call the Coalition un-democratic. Because you voted for Harper and think he's majestic. I see.

Look, I'm still waiting for you to come up with something substantial - what policies, bills, legislature, speeches has Harper had that makes him a King in your mind, the best PM we've ever had? You talk so highly of him as if he's infallible, so please, describe some evidence for once instead of talking about him like he's your uncle and not a politician.
