Pretty much that. I don't like NDP becuase to me, they're just a fancy string of words that mean "fascist". Not a big fan of the green party either. The BLOC party isn't good, all they want to do is make Quebec alone, cancel all their debts but still use our money. Meh. Actually both of their parties were voted or allowed in by wgat's called 'crisis theory'. Both countries were economically unstable after WWI, thus leading the public into a panick. The fascist government looked glorious in comparison to what was controlling them at the time. In Germany, Hindenburg appointed Hitler as chancellor and everyone loved him. After Hindenburg had died, Hitler had set fire to the reichstag, blamed it on the commies, and started the 'enabling act' which gave him total control. That's how he got into power. Mussolini was given total control for a year by King Victor Emmanuel III, as Italy was not in good shape. Mussolini took control for over that year his fascist government until I think it was 1943...anyway, that's totally off topic. Damn studying for social exams. Hope you learned something..? Your facts are pretty much correct except for who Hitler blamed the Reichstag fire on. The guy was Polish actually, it was just coincedental that he was a communist as well.

Actually it did elect those two. Had they had to have a system where people could run without the support of those parties, the other parties would have, which made the facist parties stronger, and appeared like they could solve all the problems.

I prefer voting for the party. It's better because you have one vote in a sense to decide who controls the government...

I don't like the system period. People are most likely to stick with their party unless their party does something they disagree with anyways. Take Scott Brison, for example, he's a former Progresive Conservative until the 2004 election. He didn't like the idea of the P.C./Alliance merger so a week before Martin became P.M. he joined the Liberals. His riding was a Conservative riding and had been for many years, so it might not have been the smartest move, had he not been re-elected as a Liberal. But it was done to stay in a mid-centric party as he has said in the past. Other Alliance and P.C. members did switch too this last election. People do switch, even a Liberal or two did not too long ago. Party lines only make a difference, I think, when the candidate supports them. Since, the leader of the party makes the policy, and the M.P.s can choose to follow it or not.

Proportional Representation doesn't work. Unless when the system helped elect Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler was considered the system "working". It's easy for individuals to take advantage of Proportional Representation, because it's that much more difficult to have anything pass, thus problems are rarely fixed. Deals that sometimes go against a party's beliefs have to be made even. People become fed-up, and start looking to the extremes when they feel "worked over", which at this point, the breeding ground is satisfactory for extremists to have their way with the government. The whole well it works in Germany now example isn't really all that valid because Germany has a mix between proportional representation, and our system of government.

I don't like the U.S. system, George W. Bush won the U.S. election in 2000 without the popular vote.

Blur....

No, it's a remake of an old Michael Caine movie.

Wasn't Jon Bon Jovi in "U-571"?

I saw it and liked it, but Jon Bon Jovi's in the movie?

Holly McNarland

Which songs have been release so far?

Gord Downie

Because if it is found that an American citizen has gone to Cuba, then they are to be arrested.

"Be Cool", that movie looks pretty funny. Come on, Vince Vaughn acting like a black guy, that looks funny. But isn't the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" coming out this summer?

I actually think it was pretty well done. I wasn't sure what to make of it, when I first saw it, so it made me think, and I really liked it in the end.

DSK.......

It was an alright movie. But, I wasn't really impressed with it...

A documentary is meant to educate someone.
