Well in one sense he is right. Politics are certainly moving in that direction (division), it's a little kettle calling the pot black though . We are continually becoming more and more like the US.

only thing worth noting

He points to Harper making the niqab an election issue, claiming a woman's face should not be covered during a citizenship oath, and would ban civil servants from wearing them on the job, as fueling racism

I guess the good Candidate doesn't see the hypocrisy and division wearing the niqab/burka creates to begin with.
"one rule for all"...That's one

But more importantly, what are they but signs and tools that oppress and promote inequality between men who dictate to women, as though they are chattel, what they can wear and how much skin they can show in public . In those regions where they are worn, where young girls are raised essentially indoctrinated from a young age, there are two classes.

Men
and
women

And that really, there is no place for that in our society. Perhaps we should make women wears aprons as well? Or Muslim men wear them as well. I mean after all, he is a believer equality and hater of racism/sexism and we should be treated equally?

We can only hope that Canadians see that and vote accordingly. I still have faith that enough people aren't completely fooled by cheap stunt politicing.

My husband has been walking the blocks for months/weeks with the Conservative candidate for our area. All he hears is "We're voting Liberal." When he asks why , they talk about all the money that's going to be put into the economy for their well- being and their kids well- being - jobs etc.

Remember that most of the generation before me and the younger ones in my generation don't care about a deficit if it will help their kids get jobs etc. They are running a $20 000 credit card debt on average themselves ( out side of their mortgage) .

Not so much in this riding because Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O'Toole pretty much has a lock on it,but,I too have heard the same thing from younger parents at the grandkids hockey and soccer gigs who are having a really tough time adjusting their attitudes and fiscal skills to today's financial realities. I hate to say this,but,none of them have a clue and you're absolutely correct about them being eyeballs deep in debt with no way to make ends meet and the scary thing is they think it's normal. This country is in for a rough ride the same as America was a few years ago. These younger people are about to get jerked silly and the older generation might as well talk to the wall.

Exactly.

First time I noticed this forum lol. True story today. Talking to my neighbor earlier. He's at the voting station today in the line. An older lady says she voting liberal. So he asks her why and she says because Harper is going to cancel Coronation Street. I guess we have to realize that different segments of society can look at this from totally aspects, and not much else really matters to them. Logical or not...

My wife and I had this same conversation the other night. Everyone of the younger generation seems to be in debt up to their eyeballs and beyond? Not just with mortgage's, but silly consumer debt. Furniture, TV's Electronics, Pool in the back yard, Travel trailers, ATV's and on and on..... It's like they have absolutely no concept of what it means? They want it now, so put it on credit and pay later?
Spending borrowed money on the infrastructure to create jobs might give a few some work, but what happens when that is done? The country is in debt to their eyeballs and there still isn't any work since the global economy is in disarray?
I am just so glad that my wife and I are mortgage free and literally debt free! Don't owe a penny to anyone except our monthly utility bills, phone and grocery. This country is in for a world of hurt if either of those 2 tards get voted in? Dippers and Libtards!
