Mysterious websites

This is interesting especially coming at this time when things seem so uncertain in Parliament.

Coalition?

I am not quite sure what to think of a coalition between the NDP and Liberals as I am not a big fan of the NDP but whatever happens I hope there won't be another election so soon after the last one.Hopefully something can be worked out between all or some of the parties,so that an election can be avoided and things can be accomplished in parliament.

Election results

The only thing I can say about the election results is that is wasn't quite so bad as I thought it would be at one point,although our own liberal Mp in Miramichi,for many years did get booted out.

I found this article and particularly the comments on it quite interesting,it seems while many people wouldn't vote for Mr Dion ,they still seem to think he is a honest and decent person.Regardless of what happens on Monday I am sure it will be an interesting time to be following politics in the next little while.

Late calls

This strikes me as kind of funny but then I wasn't woken up ,if I had been I would probably be furious.If it was a liberal this had happened to I wouldn't find it very funny either

Under the circumstances, I don't think getting another phone call would be advisable at this time

I can certainly agree with that ,I can't see how she could even consider sending out another phone call at this point

Conservative ad

This is just plain gross,in my opinion an ad showing anyone being pooped on is totally unacceptable for an election campaign I would like to think that all the parties would have more sense than this.

Product of Canada?

I am not a fan of Stephen Harper by any stretch of the imagination but this is one time I agree with him.I think this is a great idea and should have been done long ago.Consumers should be able to know where their food is coming from and the average person looking at a label marked made in Canada expects that all of the product comes from Canada not that almost half could be made anywhere else in the world.

Tape scandal

This is horrible I really think he should be throw out of the party or at least disciplined in some way but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen.It's awful that some one would think let alone say such hurtful things.I suppose there may be many people with those opinions but at least they are not in public office and Tom Lukiwski hopeful won't be there much longer himself.

By-election.

I was very happy that Martha Hall Findlay got elected in the by-election,she seems like a smart person and I'm sure will be an asset in the future.That Bob Rae and Joyce Murray got in,is also great news but I think there is much work ahead if the liberals want to have any hope of winning the next election.

Films may not recieve tax dollars

I don't think this is good if it's true,it really seems like censorship to me and I don't see any need for it,no one has to go and see any film if they don't want to but that doesn't mean others may not be interested in viewing it. Many good films could be denied tax credits because of this.

Patrone appointed to board

I didn't even realize he wasn't with CTV anymore,it doesn't seem like that long since I saw him on the news.This doesn't look that good and I think it would be a good idea to have him come before the committee but at the same time a person shouldn't be disqualified from such position for life just because they were involved with a political party at some point or many good people would be excluded.

Compromise on war

I am glad to see some compromise on this issue since I wasn't very happy with the liberal position by times and would not be very pleased if they wanted to haul out the troops right away like the Block and NDP.

Carbon tax

I think a carbon tax is probably the way to go and is inevitable in the future but this line from the article really stood out for me"Such a tax could target industry or consumers".I believe that such a tax must be on everyone,both industry and consumers and that no one group should have to bear all of the burden of reducing emissions.

Moore falsely accused

I think Irene Mathyssen had better check her facts next time and keep her eyes to her self,it just seems like bad manners to me to look at some else's computer unless you are invited to even if it is visible to you.

Dion writes letter to Montana governor

I really agree with Stephane Dion on this issue that the death penalty undermines the human dignity of everyone involved in it, putting a person to death for crimes they have committed takes those involved down to the same level as people that commit crimes and have no respect for anyones life or security as a person.

Uncivilized behaviour

No wonder people think politicians aren't civil enough.

New security measures for Parliament hill.

I hope the new security measures won't be to restrictive,I can see the need for some security but there has to be a balance with still allowing access to Parliament hill and keeping everyone safe.

Political stuff

This article touches on some issues that were of interest to me recently.

Gst response

I thought Dion's reply to a question about liberal plans for the gst was quite good but obviously some other people didn't.If we are against decreasing it it now we have to at least consider the possibility we might raise it if we regain power,we need to stop thinking all the time about how we will get votes and spend some time thinking about what we actually believe in as liberals.

Gst cut

I would much rather see income taxes cut or the money spent on a worthy program than a GST cut. I know that a GST cut will be barely noticeable to me as far as any savings.

Crime bil

Most of this stuff is just rehashed from last spring so the conservatives do seem to be playing games with this legislation and I don't see any reason not to support it.
