If Bush disagrees with Harpers claim to the artic lands, Harper will probably back off. I cant see him rocking the boat with the Americans. I could be totally wrong but hell, only time will tell.

Josie that is completely relevant, not a tangent, very apt. Its all in how you measure poverty right? I mean we still live in a country where some who are below the poverty line can still provide certain things for their children. But your case is a personal one. A very personal friend of mine lived with his dad who was separated from his mom. He was a construction worker and worked everyday. This man worked very hard, and never had enough money to bring home basic food. They mostly went to food shelters, i was friends with him for five years while he was at his dads (still am so it makes it 7 but he moved into his mom's house) and not once did their cupboard have food. Only until my buddy

I totally understand you

haha thats awsome The beef i have is that i dont believe in a neo-con agenda. People will always say "oh Harper isn't a neo-con like the states" but thats not what im referring to. He still believes in free-market capitalism ( like Martin ) wants to get tuff on crime even though its proven that getting tuff on crime doesnt actually curb crime rates, good economies do ( like Martin). There is a lot of things that make Martin and Harper similiar, im glad that we "awarded" the Liberals with a 100 seats because hopefully they'll be able to fight any socially regressive Conservative agenda's. Then again, maybe they won't, only time will tell.

I've heard a lot of people say that. That if a politician came knocking at their door that if the politician said " why am i running? OH! im a crook and want to get out with as much money as I can" that they would vote for them on the sheer honesty principle.

Well put, the short answer of course is that we cant get along, there is going to be some hard battles to be fought for the conservatives and i hope that everyone including politicians and civilians participate to make sure that only progressive legislation is introduced and passed.

Damnit i was worried that the NDP would be one seat short of holding the balance of power. Let's all hope that we stop any crazy right wing policies by our friend Harper one of the many reptillian kitten eaters.

Yah NDP got historic highs. Democracy at work is really id say a hard question. Apparently it was just slightly above from the last election in participation, around 60%ish i dont know the exact numbers at the moment. In addition to that, i know that a lot feel that there is no REAL choice, maybe a lot of people voted for those they didnt want to becasue they felt it was their duty to vote? Maybe im wrong, maybe this is what Canada wants, but it is minority, so hopefully things will be kept in check.

BBC-Canada changes governments CBC coverage Apparently its been called, Tory minority government. May god save our souls.

Conscience is probably also partly a social construction, in one society its wrong to commit a certain act, in others it's ethical, i cant think of an example right now, so shoot me i guess. UH yah, so conscience is really only what you make it to be. allriightt.

I have, but i dont know why or where.

Who in particular is saying that we shouldn

because you havent learned to not buy them! ;) why am I so tired all the time?

What does piss taste like? I guess we can't compare the beer with the taste of piss unless one of you guys likes to drink pee.

Basically one of the best holiday presents ever.

Bart: You told me if i get 100% on a test i would get a party, heres my 100, wheres my party? Homer: What kind of rackett are you playing here? paying attention?!? taking notes?!?!?!

Exactly, i dont know if theres a law, but it would discredit you're standing within one or the other, or both political parties as a memeber who maybe flip flops? or maybe just an ex-member who lied about being affiliated with another party? i dunno try it and get back to me ;)

if you could refrain from calling my religion and way of life a myth, i'd appreciate that. i understand you believe that, but not everyone does, so don't state it like a fact because it's not. You took what i said completely out of context, i actually don't necessarily believe in anything but what i said was that this right wing war on Christmas is a myth, the idea that non-christians are offended by ppl saying merry christmas is a myth not the religion itself. I think i made that pretty clear but if not im clearing that up now.
