Canadians who are you going to vote for? "Poll"

We won, shut up.

 

choice words comming from you

I'm glad this election is over, I don't have to read anymore of your political hackery, and that's what it was, pure cynical hyperbole. How does it feel knowing we all think your a dink?

 

Not all of us, just you, just outside of Tronna huh? The S&M crowd?

BTW no Conservatives from Toronto. Oops! What's that I just saw? Toronto not being represented in the new government?

I'll continue talking about Politics - I've been waiting since 1992 or 1993 for that gang of crooks to be tossed on their ass.

 

The S&M crowd? I'll give you a chance to explain that before I jump to conclusions

and yes, just outside of Toronto, in a conservitive riding, our MP will likely be in harpers Minister of Heritage

 

Scarborough and Mississauga.

 

no Durham region

 

Fair enough

I've heard people outside Toronto referred to as the S&M crowd. Well, while I was living there.

 

Sorry but I didn't vote Green strictly for environmental reasons, but cos they balance social and green issues better than NDP, tho I support the ndp's stance on Kyoto moreso than I support the Green's stance on it. The green peace questionaire has more GMO questions than any other, as to be expected as this is an issue that they at times are predominately too preoccupied with, and environmental issues is way more complexed than just GMO issues.

The NDP still has too much of a socialist agenda, not that the Greens don't but just less so. Beside, the Greens is still a fresh party and I hope it'll continue to break away from many of the leftist's issues esp. "housing is a human right". What will it be house everybody and continue encouraging ppl to have babies they otherwise can't afford (skews economics too) or conserve wildlife habitat -- that's how i see it, habitat for humanity vs. wildlife habitat preservation. Sorry but sometimes tough decisions have to be made. I just feel the ndp's don't support sustainable population growth with their strong stance on affordable housing, whatever that is.

If I had it my way I would like to see Greens do more to attract more green tories and leave the socialist agenda to the ndp. Even if the vote is split, greens and ndp would make a fine coalition since they have alot in common, but i don't want green issues side tracked by socialist's agendas.

 

Exactly. That's the vanguard of the "progressive" leftists, if housing becomes a right, like in England, then you won't have to work or get a job and they'll be required to house and feed you.

That's why the UK is an utter sh(thole.

No thanks, seen that route, prefer the USA. Sure it sucks to be poor, but then again the means are there to escape poverty, it's called work.

 

IronGoth, what part of Canada were u from, just curious.

 

Ontario.

Ottawa.

 

dude where in ottawa?

 

None of your business.

 

yeah better be careful, never know who I could be right, since I requested you to pin point your location and all.

 

cute couple.

right country.

 

WOOHOO at this time with 47 votes Greens have more support than any other, including the ndp. I wanna know what's other green's reason for voting green instead of ndp. I stated mine.

 

the socialist agenda anti going to encourage people to have more babies

When a society becomes more wealthy and educated people would have less children because they become a liability not an asset.

50 years ago having 20 children was considered an asset because you needed children to work the farm. Today that would be a burden. People have better things to do than raise 10 children.

Having more children or less is also cultural and religious dogma not political or economical.

 

If wealth/money encouraged having babies than rich people should have hundreds of children because they can house them all but that isn't the case.

Eliminating poverty, literacy would actually solve overpopulation problems if there is such an issue. But why would anyone do that when the powerful corporations need cheap labour.

 

Canada could easily double its population.
Its too bad people have slowed down so much.. but then again maybe its cyclical and we eventually get that baby boom.

 

What do u mean ppl have slowed down...grammar plz.

Inquiring-mind, i know the one great tool to zero pop. growth in developed nations is literacy. But worldwide there are still loads of ppl who want taxpayers (often taxpayers of rich nations) to support them WHILE they build a family.
Ppl are like fish in a fish bowl, we will grow, that is populate, until we feel the physical limitations of the environment. Subsizing housing for families (who would be larger than otherwise) only superficially removes that stress and in the long term is unsustainable.

Besides, we'll probably have to subsize housing as that's the most efficient way to deal with wastes, but i will not have ppl's religous morals over-riding legitimate ecological concerns.
