"Turn the Page" - Liberal Party 2008 election ad

[LivesForJihad]

is that Jack Layton or his fatter clone at 0:22?

[bkanachki]

That's how they spell check? Cheque?

[LivesForJihad]

@bkanachki Cheque is British English. CHeck is what the Americans use. Both would be fine.

[Grunt922]

@bkanachki they are liberal, they give miranda rights to the people who declared jihad on us and killed our citizens and soldiers a couple of which were members of my family, if that isnt insanity then no such thing exists.

[00Billy]

hehe ..."But don't mention divide and conquer politics when a Liberal mentions the reform party"

hehe...lol..why there is no credible opposition. A suit making 100K thought this up.

[semtech30]

Any govt. that suggests it creates jobs is Communism. It will use our money to buy us jobs then take our money.

Vote Liberal.

We will need food stamps and bicycles, Red one's.

[OgallalaKnowhow]

@semtech30

So is the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited a communist institution?

Or the Canada Post Corporation?

VIA Rail is obviously a pinko commie infiltration.

And BC Ferries. And Manitoba Public Insurance. Hydro One. TVOntario....

No, your right. We should sell off all of our public assets as quickly as possible as they are obviously Communist and un-American, I mean Canadian. And I guess that will cover the largest deficit in Canadian history...

[93msinclair]

lol liberals talking about economic development

[stranger338]

Peakyone..you brought a gun to a knife fight.These guys wont use logic or smarts.They are alot like an abused spouse,keep getting kicked and battered but make excuses for their abuser,Itll never change,thats the only reason the liberals have any support.

[GODDAMEFAGS]

You are right lets not build a pipeline from Canada to USA to fix the economy build more Bigger nature reserves. and pull out of Afghanistan sure.

[LivesForJihad]

You were sent from God to spread his word! I like you!

FUCK THE LIBERALS!!!

[jmay2002]

turn the page on Dion LOL!! ABCD Anybody but confused Dion!

[peakyone]

I can't believe that you people can forget the past so quickly. The liberals took our money and put it into their coppers in Quebec. There is still over 40 million dollars not accounted for. The liberals still feel intitled to power so they can steal more money from us.

Well I have not forgotten and I intend to remind people about their dishonesty.

The conservatives made a lot of mistakes in their first few years but one thing they didn't do was steal our money for themselves.

[shas1814]

What the Conservatives steal is our freedoms, our respect world-wide, our peace, and our future. The Harper government scorns the Constitution, scorns the Supreme Court, Scorns Parliament, scorns the will of the People, and scorns the facts. Just like all tyrannical power-pushers. Anyone, anyone, ANYONE but Harper!

[peakyone]

What the hell are you smoking?

The conservatives rebuilt the military after the liberals just about ruined them to nothing.

Our place on the world stage has been moved from a stupid little country that had no military to a someone to be respected.

70% of the population think he is the best leader for the country right now.

Thank god there are more inteligent people in this country than you so we can still be saved from the crooked liberals. No more stealing from us guys.

[shas1814]

Marijuana, thanks for asking.

You claim that

"70% of the population think he is the best leader for the country "

I guess we'll find out real soon, won't we?

[peakyone]

If I had to guess I would say you live on Denmand Island. Please tell me if I am right.

[shas1814]

"If I had to guess I would say you live on Denmand Island. Please tell me if I am right."

Sorry, no, I don't live on any island.

Not near the sea, even.

Why, do people on Denman particularly prefer their politicians

to be ethical and law-abiding?

[peakyone]

No the people on Denmand Island are made up of a lot of American draft dodgers and the whole island is into pot. It looks like a page out of the sixties.

You tell me one polition in Canada that is ethical and lawbiding. I can answer that for you.

Jack Layton lied about going to a private clinic to get his herna done.

Elizabeth May is lieing about global warming as science no says no sun spots lower temperatures for about 30 years.

Dion still has the same old group around him that robbed us

[shas1814]

I don't think May is lying about global warming,

but you make Denman sound like a great place to live!

I'll have to sail over there next spring and check it out!

[jab49]

70% of the population does not think Harper is the best leader. 37.6% think Harper is the best leader. 51% of Americans thought Bush was the best leader, I think it's safe to say that half of any nations population is retarded.

[peakyone]

No 37.6% voted for Mr. Harper but about 70% picked him out as the best for Prime Minister.

Which half is retarded the progessive or the conservative half?

[jab49]

where are you getting that statistic? It does not seem remotely correct. The problem isn't conseratives or liberals, it's retards. There are conserative retards and liberal retards, but I do beleive that Right wing parties have started to court the 'idiot' vote as of late. Attaching issues with little relavence in politics to themselves in order to suck up morons to vote for them. I like small government low tax ideas, but socialism is morally important as well.

[peakyone]

The stats were on TV just a short while under who would you trust to be prime minister.

The conservative draw more high income families than the other parties, so if you consider them retarded OK.

I was a welfare administrator for a while and saw first hand the abuse of the system. You get second and third generation welfare, it becomes a way of life, working the system. I would be mush tougher on socialism to make more people work for a living. The lefties incourage welfare etc.

[jab49]

I am of the highest interest bracket

[peakyone]

Are you a global warmer believer?

[jab49]

I am a scientist, and yes. It's not something to beleive in, the evidence at the moment suggest human causes. I have no problem with success or industry or corporations, it's a matter of our planet being irepairably damaged. It benefits no one to lie and say "woh, let's stop being succesful from carbon emmisions", it benefits many to lie and say "Yeah, global warming is false"

[peakyone]

What kind of scientist are you?

Perhaps you can explain something for me.

All commercial green houses use CO2 generators to simulate plant growth, they increase the CO2 content to 1000 ppm.

The earth is currently at 385 ppm and my understanding is that plants die if it drops below 200 ppm.

Logic would say that if our CO2 level increase so would plant life and therefore so would O2 production as well.

With increased O2 levels would we not be better off for people with lung problems?

[jab49]

I'm a physicist, but to answer your question massive increases in CO2 that occur in a greenhouse are a result of optimization of all conditions, such as soil quality, hydration, CO2, sunlight, temperature, etc etc. In nature simply providing plants with extra CO2 does not increase rainfall or soil quality or any of other factors, so it won't increase plant growth. Also Carbondioxide is extra concentrated in urban areas, and is harmful to lungs.

[peakyone]

If people are right and CO2 is a green house gas, wouldn't the increase in temperature also increase the amount of water vapour and thus increase the rain fall?

Personally sitting in Canada and being cold for 6 months a year, I would welcome the tempurature increasing a couple of degrees.

What about no sun spots and our temp dropping for the next 30 years?

[jab49]

I'm sorry but you do not have a very sound understanding of the science of global warming or greenhouse gases, you should really do a few weeks of research on the subject if you want to be able to speak knowledgably on it, no offense. Increase in temperature does cause increased rainfall, but it also causes a decrease in rainfall in some areas, the increased evaporation causes certain areas to experience droughts while others flooding. Global warming causes erraticness, that's the big problem.

[peakyone]

I am retired and my wife is ill so I have to stay home. I spend most of my time researching global warming. I have been doing this for about 6 months now.

My findings are.

1. Yes there is global warming, but also global cooling.

2. CO2 is not the problem, water vapour is.

3. for northern regions global warming is a good thing.

4. Only about 3% of global warming is directly casued by mankind.

5. Canada's share is so small it would not register on any scale known.

[jab49]

can you site sources for each of these claims? How is water vapour a cause of global warming? How is global warming a good thing for northern regions? Do you think sea levels will rise if the ice caps melt? Do you think they are melting? Do you think erratic weather patterns such as hurricanes are encouraged by global warming? If not site a source. Your comments so far have implied to me that you have not researched global warming. No offense

[peakyone]

I can't believe you are asking these questions.

Firstly floating ice caps will not effect sea levels if they melt.

Secondly please check with the harbour master in Halifax, sea levels have not raised in the last 100 years.

We have had fewer hurricanes in the last 3 degades.

No offense taken friend I just don't think you are really a scientist.

If our mean temperature in Canada went up say 2 degrees we could grow many more crops and our winters would be shorter. Great!

[jab49]

site sources.

[peakyone]

OK I haven't kept them but start with WIKIPEDIA.

Google "global warming is a hoax"

That will be a good start.

[jab49]

I have to go to work, but I shall tell you the true meaning of being a scientist. Verifying your claims. That's it, go find reputable scientific sources for your claims or they're meaningless. Also hurricanes increase in size and destructivity based upon the temperature of the water underneath them as they move, warmer oceanic temperatures grant more energy to hurricanes, if the temperature goes up 2 degrees the number and strength of hurricanes drastically increases.

[peakyone]

A two degree rise in temperature in northern regions does not mean the same at the equator.

The most common thought is that the north and south regions will warm faster and more than at the equator.

[tabatam]

Explain to us why NS has had two hurricanes in the last five years, when the water is NOT supposed to be warm enough for them to reach Canada.

[BloogerExpress]

GLOBAL WARMING DIDNT EXISIT UNTIL AL GORE SAID SO! lol xp

[templeajennifer]

YUP! The Lord Of The Pooping Puffin, is back on the throne! Me, I'm still out selling the "greenshift" because it is truly the best course of action.

[peakyone]

I guess you are wrong, the people have spoken.

[shas1814]

What am I wrong about?

I didn't predict any other outcome.

I simply ADVOCATED a different outcome.

Or are you under the impression that the majority is always right?

Whatever-

The election is over and so is my interest in this exchange.

[310319447]

has anyone noticed? theres one conservative idiot refuting all the liberal support in these comments. Find somethin else to do Darcam moron

[peakyone]

I just can't believe how stupid some people are. The Liberal party shifted to the left under Paul Martin and now Dion has moved it over to join the NDP. Under our current Prime Minister Harper, he has moved the conservative party over to the new center of the road position. We really don't have a right winged party in Canada anymore as they are all progresive.

Only the extreem left could oppose the direction that Canada is now going in. We have an honest party that doesn't steal our money.

[fsimbad]

Canada is dysfunctional country.

It's political cleavages are unconciable.

Economically, it's even worst.

Face it, we should all split off.

....fucking liberals...fucking Ontario....

[diverbrent]

PLEASE watch Naomi Wolf's "GIVE ME LIBERTY"

[ARandomCanadian]

NDP

[curiousjoe2007]

Liberals failed to mention theirs commitment in wind turbine technology in windy corridors across the country in return help create hundred of thousands of new green colar jobs. I think is a major missed by all parties. I don't expect it from Harper because he is sponsor by the oil companies. But the rest of the 3?

[sucka23454321]

I think that the whole point is to educate people about what could happen if we don't do something about Global Warming and if we don't drastically change our consumerist lifestyles. I am personally a member of the Liberal Party and I hope to see them come to power for the betterment of Canada. And quite frankly, I would prefer a Prime Minister who DOESN'T wear sweater vests in an attempt to look nice and soft and cuddly.

[XYSATAN]

(part2)Based on a man made global warming lie, its been the sun all along, go look up Ulysses sun inactivity 50 years. Temp going down for 11years. We all want our earth as clean and unspoiled as possible, but I will not stand by while lies are perpetrated to sell me carbon credits and scare our children into thinking the worlds coming to a end because of lack of policy .

[XYSATAN]

Green shift, green economy, what the hell is that? Do you not think that we arent green already? What a joke, we have to pay tax so another big business can make money on me being gullible. Carbon tax, green tax, yeah that will bring down the price of heating my home and getting me to work. Yeah, I'm so addicted to oil and not dieing from hypothermia.

[oldsmobileman8]

The pathetic Liberals aren't even original. Their term "Harpernomics" is a plagiarised version of the term "Reaganomics" in which the Democrats used to negativley label the free market/low taxation policies of the governing Republicans during the 80's. The Liberals are in trouble because Stephen Harper has not done anything wrong in their nearly 3 years of governing. I guess that for the Liberals, their only option is 24 year old American liberal propaganda. Go Steve! Go! God Bless Reagan!

[ashleyesss]

obviously Harpernomics came from Reaganomics? I don't think they're trying to fool anyone...

[jmzimmerman1984]

reality check: Liberals did squat on environmental issues while in power!!

[montrealpolitico]

the NDP is the only party offering viable solutions to the situation in Afghanistan. Their candidates are real.

[darcam123]

Yeah "real"- real morons. Let's have a reality check, when the economy is in the slumps you don't start proposing corporate tax hikes and hard taxes for the main manufacturing industries. You also don't plan to cut any trade deals (soft wood with US).

[st4rs33d]

As an Albertan I know why my neighbours vote conservative. They care primarily about their wallets and their backwards ideas about religion. The thing is, the Liberals had us on pace to eliminate the national debt, now that the conservatives are coming back, we will once again add to the debt. The conservatives stand for unsound economic policies and environmental destruction... the sooner Canadians wake up to see who Harper is, the better.

[bob4851]

Slandering your fellow Albertans . . . . Nice.

backwards ideas about religion How so?

Liberals had us on pace to eliminate the national debt, yes and Harper is on the same path. I think you meant eliminate the deficit, the Liberal did it alright! They couldnt have done it without the GST (you know the one they said they would cancel)and slashing transfer payments to the provinces (see Healthcare), Military ect.

[AussiePolitics]

@st4rs33d wow. just wow do you really believe that shit you're sprouting? the your favourite political party is ALWAYS better and the only people who dont support your party are immoral people? the funny is there are just as many idiots on the other side who are just as brainwashed and believe exactly the same thing as you

[lightdark99]

@AussiePolitics You mean like you?

[AussiePolitics]

@lightdark99 actually no, I'm not the one who goes around generalising about how the supporters of the 'other' side of politics are these evil selfish lunatics. how about next time you keep your stupid comments to yourself.

[lightdark99]

@AussiePolitics Lol. You should become a comedian, cause I just spent 5 minutes laughing at your comment. You clearly attacked that guy. So yes, like you :) (S)He wasn't spouting "shit", but making valid points, so get of your high horse and join the food fight.

[AussiePolitics]

@lightdark99 the fool went on about how horrible these people who supported the other side were. I said he was just another brainwashed fuck that they have on both sides. notice I was NOT sprouting bullshit like you or the fool by saying "you are an idiot all the liberals i know want to tax and destroy the economy" i criticised because it was a biased brainwashed attack.

[lightdark99]

@AussiePolitics But you're wrong! They are actually doing all these things! You're funny. You don't understand politics.

[AussiePolitics]

@lightdark99 There is nothing wrong with people debating where parties are going wrong with the economy, its when they say stupid, generalised things about people they 'know' that support the party which shows they're not critical about politics but are just another bunch of brainwashed fools who think the 'other' side is the epitome of pure evil. the fact that you straight away tell someone who disagrees with you they dont understand politics instantly tells me you're little better than them.

[lightdark99]

@AussiePolitics In fact I agree with you. I, however, disagree with you use of profanity and aggressiveness in making your point. I don't agree with attack ads (for the most part) or fear mongering. I also don't agree with openly calling an at least somewhat valid point "bullshit", which you did.

[AussiePolitics]

@lightdark99 i call it like it is. if someone writes something that is so obviously the result of pure brainwashing im going to call them on it. i tend to lose patience with people on youtube.

[lightdark99]

@AussiePolitics Don't, life's too short to get angry over something you saw on the internet. Just be passive aggressive, much more satisfying.

[AussiePolitics]

@lightdark99 just because you failed to understand that my comment was addressed to the simplistic way the fool had moulded the world into a battle between good and evil doesn't mean the world is back and white and because I think that person is a dickhead doesnt mean I give a shit about the other side of politics. anyone who is fucking stupid enough to attack a party because of people they 'know' support them and may not be nice is obviously a brainwashed fool.

[mikefastener]

@st4rs33d As an Ontarian, I know my negibours vote lie-beral. They are bought off with their own tax money by promises that we have seen never happen! Thank you Mr. Harper, we are the envy of the world in this economic crisis.....and Iffy? Still not sure which country this guy is from.....

[lightdark99]

@mikefastener Yeah, it takes a few years for the change brought about by a PM to propagate back down to us. Just wait and see :)

[mikefastener]

@lightdark99 If you are talking about the honest gov't of Stephen Harper--we are pleased to see the results now!

(No more inquiries into corruption and theft!)

Thank you, Mr. Harper, we are all so proud of you.

[Cnd1867]

@st4rs33d Well that's a mean spirited thing to say about your neighbours first of all, second, the national debt? You mean the one that successive Liberal governments created? unsound economics? Is that why we're the country that's doing the best out of all the other industrialized nations? Environmental destruction? Ya cause our environment was really a garden of eden during the 90's when our emissions rose more than the U.S.'s

[lightdark99]

@Cnd1867 No you're wrong. Liberals fixed all that.

[Cnd1867]

@lightdark99 Ok, if we want to speak in simple terms...No the Liberals didn't.

[LivesForJihad]

@st4rs33d Don't forget...the Liberals are the biggest investors in foreign companies, specifically companies in China.

It was Harper's economics that prevented our banks from following in the footsteps of the United States, Britain, and most of the EU.

It was the Liberals who got us into the war, and they bitched and moaned when Harper wanted to pull us out in 2008, and then in 2009. The Liberals forced an extension to 2011, hence, costing money.

Liberals sound nice, but they don't play nice.

[RCACsurvivorman]

@st4rs33d the sooner you wake up and realize that money doesn't grow on trees like the liberals think they do to make their economic policies come to life, the better off you will be and you will be glad Harper is the PM. Alberta is conservative because of the $50-100 billion dollars Trudeau and his Liberals took from Alberta to help out with Ontario. its good that Ontario is the last thing for Harper because that is a ton of money they stole from Alberta and it should've lasted them even now.

[onewomanoneblog]

Thank you for posting this. I hope a lot of people will watch it so that they can see what's really been going on in our country.

[akingedwardsummer]

I'm voting Liberal.

[darcam123]

Don't worry everyone makes mistakes

[akingedwardsummer]

Your parents taught me that.

[darcam123]

Very intelligent comeback, please have an argument with me after you complete your hamburger flipping degree.

[akingedwardsummer]

My degree is actually in french fry making - my minor is in hamburger flipping. It's a new program they offer.

Argument: voting for who you believe is the best leader is not making a mistake - it's called democracy. That's why I'm voting for Dion. I YOU would like to have an argument with ME, don't insult me, make an argument. Hypocrite.

[darcam123]

Alright you have the free choice to vote for a party of criminals that are openly buyng votes and clearly telling us how they plan on paying for their billion dollar lies-> Green Shaft! So if you think inflation isn't bad enough and that taxing everyone(especially the poor) will raise the standard of living then vote for Dion. Then after you realize that the Liberals and NDP are wannabe renegade robin hoods then you will know the mistake you have made.

[akingedwardsummer]

Who exactly is a criminal? Prove it.

Who is buying votes? How? Prove it.

Prove that the Green Shift will hurt the poor.

Instead of making claims, back them up with facts. Or, don't bother. You're probably a lame young Conservative with very little command of political argument or "facts".

[darcam123]

Didn't know I had to prove facts. but it takes all kinds I guess...so i will give an example for each of your questions

Buying votes= 25 billion scholarship promise

Criminals= Gomery Report, never removed GST as promised, ministers using internal information for stock trading(highly illegal)

The Green Shift will not translate to tax savings, especially to the poor since THEY DON'T PAY TAXES!!!! It is impossible to administrate a tax for free, manufacturers will pass the costs on to us

[darcam123]

It is a lot easier for a company to pass a tax onto the consumer rather then find a way to reduce their carbon output. New costs are always passed onto the buyer. Please come out of your lala land of magic economics where everything is paid with pixie dust

[akingedwardsummer]

Arguments need to be proven - get over it.

25 BILLION scholarship promise? Where!?! Send me the link hahaha.

The Conservatives were the ones responsible for the GST! Wow, short memory.

Internal information for stock trading: the accusation leveled at Goodale was proven to be wrong. Your assertion is plain wrong.

There is a comprehensive Liberal plan to combat poverty called the 30/50 plan. Read up on it, then talk.

Environmentalists and conservative economists support the Green shift :)
