Federalism Is In Danger Under Harper

Well I haven't heard anyone say that Harper was going to lead Canada into the future...just drag us kicking and screaming into a hell like state!

You guys just dont get it. I dont mind homosexuals getting benefits, but The word Marriage is a trade mark, defined as a union between one man and a woman. If you want that changed then we should allow for 3 somes and such!

The truth is I feel lied to by the Fiberals, and unfourtunatly, the New democrats are just a tad to far to the left. And besides we had Nevil Chamberlain during World War 2. Appeasment just doesn't work. Its freedom fries not French fries. the French have always been patsies, and most likely always will!


Long live Canada, G-d Bless our best friends the Americans!


go home commies, maybe fidel has more room!

Hello just-curios.

If appeasement doesn't work, WHY should be continue to "Appease" our "Best friends the Americans."

Do I sense some hypocrisy here?!

The NDP is nowhere near as "left-wing" as the Liberals were under Trudeau.

The point is that both the Liberals and Conservatives intend to institute deep integration with the USA. Liberal or Conservative, either way Canada as we know it loses.

There is nothing the US hates more than a left-wing government in Canada.

I say we should go left, the right has brought us to the brink more than once.

The trade agreements are a clear example of corporate agendas, and the US admin is run by them. Sorry, OWNED by them !!

Bring on the NDP !!!!!!!!!!!!! Please !

<blockquote>You guys just dont get it. I dont mind homosexuals getting benefits, but The word Marriage is a trade mark, defined as a union between one man and a woman.

Marriage is a word in the public domain like any other, representing a particular concept. Historically, it has represented the concept of a man and a woman living together, having kids, and otherwise sharing their lives. <p> However, words change meaning over time. Take 'gay', for instance. There was a time when that meant 'happy' and nothing else. Nothing to do with homosexuality. If you're taking offense at 'marriage' being used to describe a same-sex couple, then you had beeter be every bit as concerned about 'gay' meaning homosexuals, and you should lobby to have people come up with a new word instead. <p> You should also be every bit as concerned about 'marriage' being applied to heterosexual couples who choose not to have kdis, because that goes directly against the traditional meaning of the word. And you had better be against divorce as well, since that is doing far more to destroy the sanctity of marriage than gay(er, sorry, <i>homosexual</i>) marriage ever will. You should also be against any married couple where the wife doesn't change her name, or any one of the many changes that have happened to the institute of marriage ovr the past thousand years. I mean, some people don't even get married in a church anymore! How DARE they call it a marriage? <p> My point is that words change. The meaning of 'marriage' has *already* changed hugely. Why waste your time and effort complaining about nonmenclature if you are truly okay with the concept? People will call it whatever they want, regardless of your complaints. <p> Further, calling someone intolerant because they called you intolerant is the equivalent of saying, "I know you are but what am I". It's not going to win you any arguments. <p>---<br>Jesse <br />

Good call, Jesse, marriage is unique to different couples, with children, without children, or homosexual. If we`re going to have freedom for all, then we should not discriminate. And whether you`re gay or straight, threesomes are the perogative of the couple plus one.

This is Canada, a strong central government in Ottawa telling the Provinces what to do is probably more likely to lead to disintegration, disaffection is high already. What the federal government should be doing is establishing a free trade agreement within Canada, increasing trade between the Provinces rather than have each part of the country find it easier to trade South.

Yes I agree, I always wondered why the people in the east(Canada) thought Alberta beef was so terrific and it never occured to me that they didn't eat Alberta beef. Why are we not trading beef across Canada? Why can't I get, Maritime Blueberries(wild) the best in the world IMO, in Alberta?

Why aren't we trading in Canada? Bring back the damn trains for starters,as I know the cost of trucking is way too high, and the cost to our highways is more deaths, and more potholes!

And Trudeau was the last *Canadian* Prime Minister we've had.

Maybe "marriage" isn't a trademark but we may see the Cons "patent" it's usage if they win.

Ignorance. There already is an agreement on Canadian free trade. It is called the agreement on internal trade. Go here: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet ... sf/en/Home

I meant an agreement that actually hammers out the barriers to trade within Canada, not that puffball piece.
