Fair enough. I apologize. I just don't know why you parrot stuff that is blatantly false with no facts of your own (pot meet kettle). What's your agenda? I just want the truth, and you seem to only want to state things that are deliberately wrong, for reasons I just can't fathom other than for partisan political reasons. Sorry if I get a bit worked up, but I just hate it when people lie for political gain. Which is why Fin Donnelly really bugged me.

I don't know how many more Lac Megantiques it is going to take before people stop this pipeline paranoia. It just makes no sense.

The freedom for territories and Provinces to oversee their own rivers and lakes without a Fed. Overseer seems dangerous to me. And this move, coupled with the muzzling of scientists who would be looking at the effects of this lack of protection scares me, and it should scare anyone who would like to think our resources include more than fuel fossils. And would it be a coincidence that this move would likely make it easier for pipelines to be constructed though pristine land? You seem easily frightened.

...But, he's been good for the economy...and that goes a long way.What do you like about what he's done with our economy?Probably all the deficits and recessions. The destruction of our manufacturer sector. So so far we have Harper running around destroying the environment, and in his spare time he takes flame throwers to Canadian manufacturers and destroys them too. Got it. I just don't get what you guys hope to achieve with these kinds of statements. You honestly think people are that stupid? show me what he did to ensure our manufacturing sector was insulated from dutch disease (look it up if you have to) he idid Sweet **** all. He's a bad economic manager. Carney sure dropped the ******* ball with the monetary policy (not Harpers fault) but Harper sure didn't do much with his fiscal policy to alleviate it. So who is a better manager? Just curious. Because that's the real question here. Well we have someone with a piss poor record economically that is trying to pretend our economy is in better shape then it is to get votes promising more of the same And somone with no track record but is at least addressing the fact that the economy is a problem and has some semblance of an actual plan And someone with no track record that claims he will balance the budget but cant work out the math. Not an all star line up but I'll take my chances with the reds. With the reds? You mean Mulcair? I didn't follow your post. Did you see Trudeau on Mansbridge?

is that you Thomas Mulcair? Surely you don't buy that argument... Yes a higher dollar is worse for exporting done by manufacturing, but I ask again, how is he supposed to save a dying industry without huge subsidization? The low Canadian dollar is a gold mine for the manufacturers I know here in the Okanagan that are exporting to the US. Ontario would be doing a lot better if the Liberal government there hadn't adopted all of those high-cost power initiatives like wind and solar and instead had invested in hydro electric and nuclear. It's tough to make money when your power costs are double that of your next door neighbours in Quebec and right across the border in Buffalo. But of course, it must be Harper's fault.

What I find sad is how few refugees we've taken in. Guess people get disgusted over different things How many refugees has Saudi Arabia taken in? UAE? Bahrain? All three countries are currently running bombing campaigns into Syria, using many more and better planes than the six aging crates that Canada has sent over.

removed Putting aside politics for a sec, what value did you demonstrate to Mr. Dee with your above statement to him? Just curious, that's all. All right - I retract the statement and apologize to Mr. Dee. Maude Barlow and the Council of Canadians are about as far left of center as you can go. What value do you attribute to them for blatantly lying about the government's environmental policy? Why do they do that? Do you think that it is right? Look at what a fool Mr. Dee just made of himself by parroting their lies. Just like he made a fool of himself saying that "Harper has cut $36 billion from health care". It just bugs me that people I talk to hear these sound-bites, which are total lies, and then say "Harper has to go, here's why..." and out come total lies. Manufactured lies. Is that really democracy? I don't think so.

Fraser had to explain investing to you, so you can explain this to the rest of us. Bituminous sand is sand that contains hydrocarbons. Calling the oil sands "tar sands" is a deliberate attempt to make the oil sands sound far worse in terms of environmental consequences, and is just pure fear-mongering by half-wits.

Do you understand what this actually means? I've heard it repeated over and over but the truth behind it basically makes everyone repeating it look like a total moron. This is not something to be worked up about, in fact when this happened, environmental protections on these lakes and rivers actually increased, not decreased. I can go even further if you like, but I suggest you research it yourself. I don't identify as a conservative supporter but left wing propaganda like this just makes my blood boil, because they know exactly what they're doing. They are distorting the truth of the matter deliberately to make the conservatives look bad. So you are saying that what Mr. Dee wrote was just as big a lie as when he said that the Conservatives have cut $36 billion from health care. It's clear to me that the rabid left is its own worst enemy. They just can't help themselves from looking like idiots with their constant lying.

I totally agree. Fin Donnelly brought unnecessary shame on Canada for no reason, other than political gain. The entire NDP should be burning down in flames right now, but of course, the media just ignores it.

It's funny what they're finding out about some candidates. The peeing in a mug thing and another Conservative who was busted making prank calls are fun to laugh at, but pretty harmless. I'd like to hear the explanation behind the guy peeing in the mug. Why didn't he just use the bathroom? A gay man venting about the church shouldn't be that surprising to people, but I can see how the religious right would have a stroke over it. I think that what's really getting people pissed off is the sanctimonious ******* NDP always goes insane and shits its pants over everyone else, but gives a free pass to idiots like Fin Donnelly who lied on national TV, and now this clown with his stupid tweets. Imagine if a Conservative had tweeted that the Pope should go eff himself. The ****-head NDP would be going loony-tunes. At the very least this guy should be fired. It's ridiculous. I guess not everybody is as calm and reasonable as you... Or as willfully blind and partisan as you.

As soon as someone uses the stupid phrase "tar sands" I tune out as it is obvious they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

A big key to keeping Nichols - getting him an OC who can produce a game plan that doesn't involve killing the QB.

His attacks on the environment? Good grief. This bullshit just never ends.

Personal success, yes, in that he became PM. It's a little less clear as to how successful he's been at his actual job. A lot more successful than the goofballs that the NDP and Liberals have run in the past against him, that's for sure. I shudder to think what Canada would look like now economically if Inspector Clouseau had won for the Liberals back in 2008. Or if Iggy had won in 2011. Justin Trudeau looked like a babbling moron with Mansbridge the other night, as Peter had to correct him on a few things, including what the TFSA limits were before the current increase. Kind of like how Mulcair had no clue what corporate tax rates are in Canada, and had just memorized the mantra that he wanted to increase them.

More on Dearn-gate: Double standards rule on the NDP campaign, and other reasons to fear for humanity Kelly McParland | September 10, 2015 If Stephen Harper’s top communications aide had tweeted that the Pope should go Eff himself, there’d have been a mammoth outcry and demands he be fired within the hour. Can you imagine hateful Tories such evil and hard-hearted things? Except Shawn Dearn is working for the NDP, so apparently it’s enough that he said he’s sorry. Sorry for what, hating Catholics? Or tweeting about it? If Nigel Wright had tweeted that he was sorry about the cheque, would Thomas Mulcair have accepted his apology with a shrug and agreed to move on? What if Dearn’s comments have been about Islam? http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comme ... r-humanity

Now a fresh controversy for the NDP. Tweets from two years ago about the Catholic Church have come back to haunt a Mulcair staffer... http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/christie-blatchford-whose-views-was-ndp-staffer-shawn-dearn-tweeting-not-his-he-says

Well that's a relief...
