I remember reading, years ago, something to the effect that no-one who wants to become an MP should be allowed to. Perhaps we would be better served if MPs were selected in the same manner as juries.

If you think Stephen Harper is scary, hes' got nothing on Michael Ignatieff, the next leader of the Liberal Party. Mr. Ignatieff, spend 30 years of his adult life in the USA, is on record as supporting the war in Iraq and also believes the use of torture is justified.

You will also note that Mr. Ignatieff has been suspiciously quiet on Dion's Green Shift plan as he knows it's an election loser and hes quite happy about that.

You Liberals are so gullable.

I asked you a specific question about conservative environmental / global warming policy, and I get this?

Do you even KNOW their policies, or is it just a "cult of personality" thing surrounding Harper for you? One would have thought a personality would be a prerequisite for that, but I guess it takes all sorts.

If you read the article properly you will note it states the movement of "Skilled Labour" (similar to Germany) not the free movement of everyone, like the UK

Well as a hard working Canadian, I've got to do some work now. Have fun

I've noticed that there are about 4 or 5 people on this thread that are on here all the time attacking anyone who doesn't agree with their collective views on issues.

Do you people actually have jobs and work or are you living on welfare or EI? Just curious.

Run along then. Beats answering a specific question about a conservative policy position doesnt it. Feel free to file a reply when you have time, I'll be interested to read it.

If you had the intelligence to understand my reply, what I was saying is that Dion's Green Shaft plan will never be implemented even by the Liberals.

Okay I forgot your a Liberal and need your hand holding all the time, okay then go here for a direct answer to your question:

Have a nice day.

The only "collective view" I've seen in this thread concerns Harper being a tit.

Well, perhaps not the only "collective view".

As for the second part of your assault, I think you'll find that the people in question are well-paid professionals who are not slaves to the time clock.

We also know Alt-Tab.

One hates to stoop so low, but did you mean "you're a liberal"?

And BTW, he's not.


On edit: not yet, anyway. Keep it up Chi_Nook and you could become singlehandedly responsible for opening Iain's eyes to the true consequence of voting for Harper's conservatives. Way to go.

That would be the same Germany that has all the race related tension / firebombing / murders of turkish workers and their Families that come there through the freedom allowed by the EU?

I'm confused. Canadas immigration is open to skilled workers (45%) Family of existing immigrants (45%) and about 10% humanitarian asylum seekers. I dont see how anything proposed is going to change that. You cant invite skilled workers, but exclude their families, you simply wont get the skilled workers you need to stay, and Assylum seekers have to be afforded some protection and dont make up great numbers anyway. The facts just dont fit the rhetoric.

The movement of skilled labour that is something we have now. So why does Canada really want to join the EU?

You mention that you are a hard working Canadian but you seem to have plenty of time to put posts here???? I think somebody needs a word with your boss.

Where I live there is no welfare, if you don`t work you don`t eat.

Ah, Google, the refuge of those who dont actualy KNOW the answer.

That document does not lay out at all what they plan to do, what taxes are involved, what effect it has had on emmisions to date. Its all very much pie in the sky. Braging about $2bn on renewable fuel programs about sums it up. Less fuel burning is what needed, not diverting food crops to fueling vehicles.

I am not a dyed in the wool Liberal ,I'm very much a floating voter, and FWIW all your frothing posts have done is turn me away from voting conservative, much as a result of not wanting to be associated with the redneck jerk element of the party that you so ably represent, all full of "facts" that turn out to be nothing more than hot air and empty rhetoric.

I was hoping you could explain how its different to what has gone before, which was all talk and no effect. You know, move the discussion back towards POLICY and away from the current trend of NEGATIVE CHARACTER ATTACKS.

That`s why they are known as "Guest Workers" This term allows the Germans to exploit and exclude them nicely.
