federal debate

[JBen]

Well I agree with that, completely
Hence why, I sort of look at the "global picture"..

Again, not perfect and agree with much….
No improvement in infrastucture? Its more than just roads you know. I don't know if federally even that can ever be traced down.

Lets also consider Harpers unreal wisdom with respect to the military, the far north, the north west passage.
Aware Russia just tried to lay claim to the North Pole?
I seem to recall many (especially left leaning people) ripping him for
F35s
Looking up there, spending in the military…
Looking way ahead…far further than many seem to be able to
more
They still don't see it…………….
How much do you think that has "cost" us.

Again, agree with many things, we can't look at them in bubbles or vacuums though.

Terrorism? Privacy things?
I know a little about this, only due to my industry.
It cost, lots and lots to keep us "safe"

Do you think things on that front will get better or worse (terrorism) over the next say 5-10 years?

[mosquito]

There are implications to who you cast your vote for, being a Harper hater
without a real reason is falling into the propaganda of those who have a
specific desire for what they want Canada to be. First what do you want your
gov't to be, honest? allow freedoms? more taxes? less freedoms? more
national debt?

Just a reminder here are a few things done by Conservatives that I think are good:

Bill C-525 Passed
Passed last December the bill gives workers in federal workplace jurisdiction
the right to a secret ballot to certify or decertify a union in their workplace.

Bill C-377 Passed
This bill passed and would require unions to disclose how they spend the
billions in dues money collected off workers paycheques each year.
* Unions hate the protection for workers and the disclosure of these bills and
both these and Liberals and NDP opposed them.

Or how about more tax savings (some of which the Liberals have openly said they
would remove or reduce)...

TSFA accounts,
Registered Disability Savings Plan,
Universal Child Care Benefit,
Income splitting (allowing a spouse to stay home if needed for children, older
parents...) ,
increased tax credits for kids sports and programs etc.
http://www.taxplanningguide.ca/tax-p...amily-members/



Some other items you can include in my view so far allowing new foreign owned
companies like Wind Mobile to enter Canadian mobile phone market, bailing out
auto companies along with Ontario Liberal government during financial crisis was
sensible. blocking sale of Potash Corp to BHP Billiton, buying the military gear
appropriate to Afghanistan and sending the tanks and proper armour to them after
the Liberals had got them posted to Khandhar (where most of the casualties
occurred), C-36 prostitution bill (what one woman I know who was a prostitute
refers to as the best solution for Canada), mandatory sentences for criminals,
bombing ISIS...and I could go on.

known for taking speaking fees ($20,000 or to $30,000 or more) from charities
Harper actually helps...

/“He was getting paid $160,000 as an MP, but he went and took a 20,000 cheque
from a group of seniors trying to do a fundraiser to buy furniture,” Mr. Kenney
said, later adding: “He pretends to be a defender of the middle class.
Middle-class Canadians make charitable contributions. They do not take huge
payments from charities, especially when it is their job to help them.”/

- essentially anti-family and extremely anti traditional family, fine with

be pro-abortion.
- accountability by Chiefs and reserves (over $5B per year) and Unions will be

soaring debt (NDP in Ontario, 3X in 5 years, Pierre Trudeau (10X the debt)

Thanks but it is mostly going back through posts on here and another place, some I looked up, some I purgered links, putting them together in an email for someone else who didn't want to vote Conservative but couldn't give me a good reason. I started putting it into my Draft on the email as a copy I can add to, I was thinking I would bomb it here later but maybe some have some good items to add.

[terrym]

Harper isn't perfect. I also scratch my head at some of his positions but then I step back and look at the alternatives. I find both hypocritical and laughable that the left criticize him for running deficits during global recessions. Every free country had to and in the fact the left tried to overthrow the government because he wasn't running big enough deficits. The coalition attempt wanted him to run double what he did. So, is it the fact that deficits in recessions are bad or only the fact that Harper was in office when the global economy tanked and ran deficits? So are deficits in recessions bad all the time or only if a Conservative is in office?
People rant and accuse him of catering to oil production. It's a natural resource we have an abundance of and is presently in demand. Should we leave it in the ground and forgo the revenue? What services are people prepared to eliminate if the oil revenue isn't around? 50 yrs from now there could be new technologies that render oils far less in demand, what use /value will it have then? Harper doesn't hurt other industries when he supports oil. He facilitates an industry that helps pay for the transfer payments every body else feel entitled to. Quebec insults the West but gladly take the transfer payments.
Trudough and Mulcair will increase the growth of debt, it's what they believe in. They will be soft on crime and National Security. It's what they believe in. Just today in the paper it was reported that the guy who committed the double murder in Vaughn last month in the coffee shop had 50 convictions, did 7 years for murder already and was let loose by our ridiculous legal hug a thug legal system. When Harper attempts to reform our laws to reverse this the activist social engineers in the Supreme Court block it. Maybe the SCC judges can chip in to pay for the funerals of those two killed in the coffee shop?

Putin is no fool. He sees that Harper won't be PM for long so he has pretty well told the world he claims most of the Arctic. He knows JT won't do squat to stop him nor will Obama. Within months Putin will be drilling up there. Read my post history and I predicted it months ago. Pulling out of the coalition war on ISIL won't make them change their ways. These people are savages. It will only allow them to expand their barbarism quicker. If we had let Hitler proceed without resistance the world would have been a scary place.
A PM isn't a popularity contest. It isn't class president where the best looking kid gets the job. Mulcair believes that the country could be broken up with a 50% + 1 vote in a referendum. That alone should completely remove him as a rational choice. JT thinks budgets balance themselves and that being PM is about taking "selfies" with horny young women. Can you imagine that imbecile at a G7 meeting? Be scared, be very scared.

[Oddmott]

I'm bored reading your list, very selective and somewhat misleading on several, ah well I will pick on a few..

It's only misleading if you purposely misinterpret.

Truth & Reconciliation started off well but ended up being a half measure. It'll be essentially forgotten in a year, and it does nothing to fix the broken and ridiculous Indian Affairs Act.
Kelowna Accord, for its issues, was a step in the right direction for beginning to address the fact we need a new system that isn't archaic.
The Native issue isn't something that should be pegged down to just dollars and cents. There's a lot more to address than what point-billion it's costing the country.

Scientific Research - nobody has ever said that Harper's Govt shut down all research nationwide, that would be suicidal. Posting a few links to a few works they supported doesn't say anything.
Not sure how your medical isotope link helps your statement. Harper's insistence to get out of the industry - against ALL expert consultation - and shut down chalk river is the cause of the looming world medical isotope shortage. So... destroying the existing industry is somehow investing in it, in your eyes? Shutting down the nuclear industry faster than advised is going to cost Canada $23-$28 billion... but his shuffling a pittance of $25M to other research is somehow commendable?

You've also decided to mix in private industry research with Public Sector, not the same. Nothing you posted debunk the established fact of Harpers muzzling Canadian scientists.

Election spending - You do realize Trudeau is FEDERAL and the robocalls were PROVINCIAL Cons & Libs, right?

Linda Keen - Do you even read the stuff you're linking too? Read your own link and tell me anything Keen did was "wrong"? She was caught between two power-tripping organizations, while also fighting a meddling gov't that was threatening to fire her because she didn't want to push a facility into unsafe working scenarios. lol

Funding fiascoes - The point was not the X $ spent on child care over other things. The point is that several times in his initial election campaign and for the first year he was in office, Harper voluntarily espoused that he would cut the subsidies to big oil. Not tax them more, not overtly harm the industry... simply cut subsidies and allow them to operate on their own feet, in a freer market. He also said that his gov't was dedicated to helping women and kids in need. Then he cuts the funding for those he swore to continue protecting... and continued to pay private corp to operate business.
It's a moral issue and this one is pretty black & white.

This is true. I was just really hoping Harper would be the one to really turn this particular ship around with a groundbreaking initiative that truly empowered natives and benefited Canada socially and fiscally. It woulda been one helluva feather in his cap and a real boot to all the haters who view him as Hitler.

It's only misleading if you purposely misinterpret.

Truth & Reconciliation started off well but ended up being a half measure. It'll be essentially forgotten in a year, and it does nothing to fix the broken and ridiculous Indian Affairs Act.
Kelowna Accord, for its issues, was a step in the right direction for beginning to address the fact we need a new system that isn't archaic.
The Native issue isn't something that should be pegged down to just dollars and cents. There's a lot more to address than what point-billion it's costing the country.


True, the race based B.S. is just that B.S. and it needs to be done away with fairly. It is just ghettoizing many, there are many exploited by their chiefs (much worse than I thought after some recent conversations up north.) and little hope.


Scientific Research - nobody has ever said that Harper's Govt shut down all research nationwide, that would be suicidal. Posting a few links to a few works they supported doesn't say anything.

4 out of 5 of the worlds providers were out of service a few years ago I know for sure and there were leaks that shut down Chalk River and that is why millions were put into the company that produces them (one of the links.) Please provide source for your amount.

Yes and so were the Robocalls... and it was LIBERALS that violated it first

Did you read it, I did, here let's simplify it, she was making little effort to resolve the issues and.
""It became very clear very quickly [to] even her own officials and AECL and independent experts that, in fact, this was not about safety. This was a potential difference in opinion between the two agencies with respect to licensing," Lunn said.

Yes, he could have cut the subsidies to oil companies, with the NDP in power now it was a waste not to gouge them earlier, now the NDP is tacking on billions of dollars in taxes and will really screw the industry and their workers.
I guess you don't like the child care allowance because it isn't a Liberal idea?, a much fairer idea that is "not tied to actual child care expenses, and is available to all parents, regardless of whether or not they use childcare services. The measures have cost the government about $3.7 billion per year."
That much money to help all families is much better spent than some wasteful day care program that excludes so many.

As for women's shelter cuts that is one of the areas I agree shouldn't have been cut, $500M from CBC great I would cheer but I don't agree with this one. There are many women with children that are benefiting from the federal money but there needs to be some examination of spending.

I don't see either of the other two parties doing better, maybe if the shelters were unionized Mulcair might care and with Justin being paid as a full time MP and taking $30,000 fees from charities I see no consideration there.
