Consider this: World Leaders who put their nations Troops in the Iraq War: George Bush Jr. : RE-Elected. Tony Blair: RE-Elected. John Howard: Re-Elected! Canada's Paul Martin did NOT support the Iraq War: VOTED OUT Canada's Stephen Harper who DID SUPPORT Iraq: ELECTED AS PRIME MINISTER. ... Make no mistake, there are far more reasons besides being 'for or against' the Iraq War or the 'War on Terror' for all these results. But There sure seems to be quite a difference between what Jon Stewart and Internet Culture percieves as the Popular Opinion and what Real Voters in Democracies seem to be doing.
you sad bastard. does it feel good to support the death of many innocent people? the middle east is an even more horrid place, due to the role the west has played, especially the USA. American troops are commiting crimes and as a result of their extreme action could very well be creating more terrorist. and yes canada fucked up. they are trying to punish the liberal party, and they have done it in the worst way, fucking them selves to.
and as for the Re-Elected War Leaders.....they have used an old tactic....they have made the general mass believe every middleaster person is a terrorist and that the next 911 is right around the corner. and on top of that they've made themselves out to be the only soloution to that problem. by putting the public in that state of fear, if a nother candidate has any antiwar policies they are under the impression that they will do nothing to protect the country......seriously fuck war, avoid it at all costs....and if you support it, go fuck yourself....
Considering the US General Accounting Office (GAO) confirmed voting fraud in the 2004 US elections, I wouldn't be so quick to subscribe to belief that any "election" result is the democratic will of the people. More rightly our electoral systems are now fully in the hands of corporate interests who not only provide the polling methods and infrastructure, but do the "counting" as well. The results are whatever they want them to be.
Don't worry yanks and democrats, communists and environmentalists. This Conservative minority is the most liberal Conservative minority on the face of the earth.
"Liberal" indeed when it comes to promises of further tax cuts for the rich and for corporations. Slash those capital gains taxes so those who do nothing more laborious than speculate on the market can have even more unearned gains to expatriate to their offshore accounts. Bravo!
Heres my advice to you: Go Fuck Yourself for even daring to bad mouth Canadian Soldiers who are SAVING LIVES, not only of innocent civilans who most definately would be murdered by Al Quaida/Taliban (which THEY STOPPED) but are saving the lives of Afghanis whenever they keep WAR and MURDER Loving,, LOVING Taliban from power. Awesome... I was very proud of our Canadian Soldiers (who are at war) when they shot that Insurgent in the face in what is now the Worlds Record Longest Sniper Kill on record. Awesome! That means LESS people die as a result of that action. Good! You think you are 'against crimes' and 'against hurting Middleeastern people'? Huh Hotshot? Well if that FUCKER Saddam and his sick bastard Heirs were still in power then guess what they would STILL BE DOING? Murder, War, Rape, Brutal Oppression, torture and all kinds of good stuff - not to mention making Kuwait, Iran, Israel, Egypt and quite frankly EVERYONE in the Arab world nervous as hell to when the next Hussein initiated War would start again. THANK YOU Troops for STOPPING War and Terrorism. Thank you Canada. FUCK YOURSELF if you dont appreciate their service. Iraqis sure thank them!
Erasmus, thats your opinion. All I have to say is I was really hoping Canada would legalize/decriminalize pot in the near future, but theres no chance of that happening now. In fact, Marc Emery claims they are going to toughen laws, and this will be the worst government yet for the cannabis movement in Canada.
You think that Saddam being gone is a bad thing? What planet are YOU from? And notice that Al-Qaeda is now offering a "truce"? Decode that and it's "uncle! uncle! PLEASE STOP KILLING US!" BTW the conservative minority thing SUCKS. We need a majority to get things done.
By the way dudes, the Reform/Conservative platform has initiatives in it - if they pass it so that citizens and private members can bring to the table binding initiatives, then all it would take to get pot legal is for that to be tabled as something to vote on DIRECTLY as law or no and watch the majority make it law. Couldn't do that in Liberal Canada.
Thats good to know Iron. But I bet the conservatives will introduce legislation making the penalties more tough.
I find it to be an insult to those intelligent people among us that you use the anti-Illuminati avatar, while you're clearly eating out of their hands and throwing your support behind their every initiative without thinking, questioning or bothering to learn the real truth beyond what the evening news tells you. Just for the hell of it, I'll straighten you out on what you said so eloguently in your last post. 1) Al Quada is a CIA operation. It does not exist beyond being a cover for false flag terror by the CIA/MI5 and Mossad. So, Canadian soldiers are not saving anyone from Al Quada, because it does not exist in the real world. 2) The Taliban was controlled by the Illuminati, just as the "Al Quada" terror is. The Illuminati also controls the US and Canadian governments, so it's all the same side. They are not opposing forces, they only appear to be. 3) I was not aware that Canadian soldiers were at war. The Canadian military does little beyond "peace-keeping", which is just code for occupying and controlling a country. 4) No, sadly, one person died as a result of that action, and had it not happened, none would have died, except perhaps the occupying soldiers, who are the real terrorists anyway. Insurgents are fighting a force that has occupied their home and is murdering and torturing their people. 5) Guess what the American, Canadian, British and all those other governments are doing? Murder, war, rape, brutal oppression, torture and all kinds of good stuff. They even tell you about that on the news once in awhile. There are stunning accounts of it if you feel like finding some real info. 6) And guess who put Saddam in power, sold him the gas he used on the Kurds and the like, and backed him all those years until it was time to scapegoat him? That's right, the US (Illuminati). And now the same government, controlled by the same Hidden Hand is demonizing him for things he did with their help and backing, to be used as the villian in the bogus war. 7) Now they're all playing their parts for an American occupation of Iran. Israel, Iran, and The US are all playing their Illuminati scripted roles to get the war going. Just watch. Within a year Iran will be the next Iraq. You can quote me on that.
So, have an initiative to rid yourself of the penalties. Listen, the whole idea behind Reform was gov't by the people for the people, not the Bay St. Elite (Mulroneyites) or the Shipping Magnate Elite (Paul Martin). Critical to their platform is the idea that the grassroots is more important than the hierarchy.
