I hope you are watching this debate folks!!
Short answer-----NO!!
They should all be wearing those electric dog training collars, speak out of turn and ZAP!!!! They would have to stop the debate a couple of times to replace the batteries in Trudeau's and Mulcair's collars.
Harper clearly won the debate this evening with his stay the course message. JT once again talked in circles and has lived in a bubble for most of his life with no value to add to the debate. Mulcair would raise the minimum wage to $15.00 hr putting more stress on the small business owner that makes up 80% of our economy. Very scary if JT or if Mulcair gets voted in.
I would tend to agree, but guess who didn't?? CBC's political pundits!! Imagine that!! They kinda praised JT for being forceful and having a sense of urgency to correct our problems. Imagine what they would have to say if Harper did that??Quote:

Exactly!!! Bang on in everything you said. Most if not all that it would apply to already make that or more. More smoke and mirrors for the gullible and uninformed!!Quote:

JT was being the usual drama queen with absolutely nothing of value to add and yes CBC creams there shorts over him for some reason I will never understand.Quote:

To much fact and not enough pizzazz for our stupid countrymen. You'll see that three way virtual tie open up since last night with Harper falling behindQuote:

Yes God bless dizzy lizzy. I bet she thanks the good lord every night her "nemesis" CPC Lisa Rait pulled her off stage that night she was into the electric lettuce
Yea, the greens, the next largest party, with what, 2-3% of the vote? Irrelevant.Quote:

These are just a few things he's coming with on the fly to pull the more moderate voters away from Angry Tom.
I'm predicting a neck & neck & neck tie in the poles over the 2-3 days prior to the election.
3 posts in and we get the "you people"...nice.Quote:

God bless Canada and J. T. , for thinking of great ways to keep us safe!
You should have said, "God help Canada if JT gets his Liberals elected." Stricter classification translates into, say goodbye to your semis, and pump actions.......to start with !!!!!
Yes the wife and I noticed the condescending tone by the moderator as well ! Always amazes me how many Liberals are behind the scenes controlling media.Quote:

I don't think JT will be close to winning even a minority. I'm thinking the real threat is Mulcair and the NDP. It also wouldn't surprise me,at all,if the Liberals lose more seats than they have,now and JT gets booted the same as Iggy and Dion. Having a vicious two-party dog fight can only help the Conservatives split the leftist vote. All they have to do is NOT screw up.
Screwing up is the Provincial Conservatives job. They've got it down pat!
Well,up until now for sure,but,I can't wait to see what kind of "whip cracker" the new guy is.Quote:

Good article in yesterdays post.
People continually underestimate Putin. This is not the first time he has made the west (Obama) look like fools. God help us if JT or AT win.
IMO this is bang on, somebody has to find the stones to step up. No matter how it's sliced or diced the situation in Syria is one we created, and one we, especially the left leaning here in Canada have turned their backs on. For all the bellyaching and hang wringing by Liberals about Harper and the refugees, Um perhaps if you (those who don't and didn't have the stomach) had found some back bone and conviction to do the right thing to begin with….the situation wouldn't be so bad and now you want to turn your backs on it, having created it?
And if nothing else, now Putin steps in.Im sure he isn't doing it solely out of the good of his heart. He's played Obama like a fiddle here (as one friend said), made us look like fools and could in the end "win big".
Exactly, call a spade a spade.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who was against the air missions, or is against more efforts (boots on the ground) now.
That's the thing. You need to be cold and strategic to run a country in these times. Ruling "from the heart outwards" like JT wants to will get you run over quickly. I don't care if the PM isn't photogenic or charismatic. I want him/her to run the country safely and prudently. Can anybody name the CEO of GM or Ford or Hewlett Packard without Googling it? JT would be totally ineffective on a world stage.
I actually read the entire translated speech from V.Putin on UN General Assembly, it is as always concrete and dead on. In terms of speaking of leadership, oligarchy or not. You want a man like V.Putin because he will be in your corner and not back out like Obama did to the Middle East which left a mess, a big one too. V.Putin is a no-tolerance nonsense man; considering he was a former Lieutenant-Colonel in KGB; a man of intelligence and command; a trait you want in a leader.
and I said to myself, God forbid if JT wins, because Putin will make him his bit** for sure.
I can see it now JT rubbing Putin down with essential oils. Lol And telling Putin how his day went !Quote:

The NDP has been losing ground for days now, they look like they peaked too early and might even get booted back to their historic 3rd place. The ultimate hypocrisy though will be the losers saying Harper has no legitimate mandate without a majority yet they will gladly take over parliament without one themselves. In fact they would do it with less seats from the general election. I wonder if Angry Tom and pretty boy would refuse the win if they won without a majority because you know.....a minority isn't a legitimate win right?
I don't understand the people that are swinging towards JT and Tom. They are not presenting a business agenda, you need to run this country with a sense of business when there is a global economic turmoil. Do people honestly think that the 'socialist' concept will get them out of any financial trouble? Look at the financial disasters of Provincial Liberal in Ontario on the past decade; were still lucky we the people of province have not yet burned down the Queen's Park.
I've said it before, you vote Liberal then you should pay for all their boondoggles. Why should we the non Liberal voter pay for these mistakes.
Mosquito, theres more to it than that, and it goes back further, we both know that. Whether we are 70% responsible, 30% responsible or somewhere in between, it's a mess of our making and now the talkers like Obama, JT and many on the left (the citizens whose votes they crave) are turning their backs, on a mess we created.
In some ways your analogy is good, but at the end of the day we helped make the mess and we don't want to clean it up. Im reminded of juvenile children who when things get tough point fingers at everyone else and certainly are to afraid to step up and clean up.
Putin, well now he's doing it and yes, he will make JT look even more naive, and stupid and eat him for breakfast (AT as well). He's already made the US (and Canada to a much lessor degree thanks to Harper) look like putz's.
With all due and utmost respect,I think you're preaching to the choir. We all know because we've watched him. Main stream media would never air this and if they did,it would be "spun" in a completely different light.Quote:

It's just so damn frustrating to watch it happen!Quote:

These will be very interesting times ahead. All we can do is cover our butts as best we can,sit back and watch.Quote:

Trudeau's of course.
Watching the antics of both Liberal governments will be like standing on the side of the road, watching a train wreck. You know what is happening, but can't do a damned thing about it !!!!

Canada under Conservatives was the freest and most tolerant nation in the world, study finds
It comes a little late for Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, but Canada has been named both the freest and most tolerant country in the world. It’s also one of the most prosperous and best-run, and trails only Australia in education.
Good thing we changed governments eh?
The latest accolade for Canada comes from a London-based think tank, The Legatum Institute, which publishes an annual “prosperity index.” Canada scores well overall – in sixth place out of 142 countries – but excels in the categories of personal freedoms and openness. Though always near the top of the order in the seven years the index has been compiled, the last year of the Conservatives’ mandate coincided with its rise to first place as “the freest country in the world.”
I am more concerned that Star Wars will forever be ruined for me.Quote:
