Research on the penis sizes of American babies while sitting in Canada, WTF (but it is a free country) - on that note, I am glad the powers that be keep close tabs on our known Pedophiles and rightly so - not calling you one of course, just sayin....

But still.....

PS..ave a nice fulfilling day

In so far as the discussion of penis size can be said to have had a political dimension I think you'll find it's an example of the penile fixation of the far right. The original reference to cocks was by a neo-con poster who referred to countries where most of the penis was routinely cut off. By the time of the post over which you drool, the conversation had moved on to mocking the novelty surgeries in various countries. Thank you for reminding me of that thread, I laughed again at R I C H's link to the Australian newspaper article expressing shock that the biggest dick in the world is not attached to an Australian.

For the record, I don't count myself a paedophile nor as especially being of the left, except in dress.

OK, dont start with me. I didnt attempt to smear anyone with implications of paedophilia.

This goes for everyone posting in this thread, If you wish to continue to discuss the politics then cut out the personal comments. Do I make myself crystal clear? I hope so.

Any more personal comments will be removed, with a good chance that the person making them will be removed for a while too. If the thread become high maintainence it will be closed, so stick to arguing about the policies and lies of the politicians and avoid making personal comments about other posters.

Well as the smoke clears from the personal abuse battlefields, it's time to point to further abuse by Harper and his cronies....

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/p...r-s-niece?bn=1

Stevie baby even has the temerity to point out that only a third of the patronage appointments made by his government had direct ties to the Party's apparatchiks..

Oh dear. Shouldn't it be none?

Agreed. But I'm not a liberal, just someone who wishes to point out the hypocrisy and venality of the Harperists; the folk who got elected in 2006 on a squeaky clean accountability agenda which they've subsequently not only ignored but laughed in the face of.

When people point this out the knee-jerk response is to roll out the sponsorship scandal, while continuing in being contemptuous of parliament and Canadian intelligence (such as it is).

Self quoting is of course to be frowned upon, and you can call me clairvoyant, but prediction number one of my intentionally somewhat over-the-top rant from yesterday has become an election plank for Harper today.

I note that in the furore of personal attacks, lurid graphics and downright lies since then, no-one has actually challenged my predictions.

Could it be that they're all accurate?

Quoting your quote then:

Oh, I'm up for that.

He'd repeal the public funding of election campaigns (one of the two features of Canadian politics which result in major differentiation from that rabble down there) Public funding of election campaigns is just wrong

And he'd intentionally screw up the renegotiation of the Federal-Provincial accords on health transfers leading up to 2014 so as to privatize healthcare and scrap the free-at-point-of-service system (coincidentally the other major feature). This one seems a bit speculative. I thought healthcare was a provincial function anyway.

In addition (just to keep things honest of course) he'd privatize jails, try to make abortion illegal and (if he could) cut the balls off anyone who objected. Unless they were women, then he'd just ignore them.

Privatize jails - you mean all of them or just introduce some? - so what US, UK, Australia and Holland have them?
Abortion - I think he's on record as saying there is no public appetite for this so wouldn't try to ban at all. I think in the last week or two the UK has done something to tighten the rules - term and making counselling compulsory etc something like that which would probably be no bad thing.


Oh, happy days to come.

Edit: Oh, how could I forget? He'd continue to make Canada an international pariah on climate change issues, would fail to rehabilitate Canada's image at the UN (remember the Security council voting? Good. Stephen doesn't want you too), and would continue to pour taxpayers money into the most disgusting insult to the future of the planet, the oil sands.

I don't like it either, but there isn't any real alternative. Well, there is, we could have the US approach, where corporations buy influence and get returns on investment in the millions of percent from political donations.
