Stephen Harper talks about hockey and Canada on The Today Show

[yomamasapeach]

I have never played hockey and I'm Canadian but I can skate. I really need to play

[eckomachine]

Vote for the person, who thinks farmers and hunters, should be punished. and vote for person who belives, they should be in ottawa when all of canada is looking at vancouver

[viper10011]

good Ideas by steven harper:

1) lower the gst from 5% to 2%

2) getting rid of the long gun registry.

3) protecting the artic and supporting our troops.

4) getting tougher on crime.

5) Apologysing to the first nations people of this country and paying them what the goverernment ows.

6) Finally he was on courner gas.

@viper10011 "1) lower the gst from 5% to 2%"

Reducing GST is insignificant for individual Canadians, but crippling for tax revenue going towards public works projects like the above rinks.

"2) getting rid of the long gun registry."

This is an ambivalent issue. Getting rid of gun registries in no way represents what the vast majority of Canadians wish.

"3) protecting the artic and supporting our troops."

Every single political party does likewise. Nothing special.

[viper10011]

@unifieddynasty uuuuuuuuu ya i would want taxes lowered.

Two according to the polls 64 percent of rural canadian want the long gun registry gone and 56 percent of urban canadians want it gone so yes the majority of canadian want it gone. Three the liberals sent our troops to afganistan in green camo ya they really support our troops.

[unifieddynasty]

@viper10011 "uuuuuuuu ya i would want taxes lowered."

You do not represent Canada.

"Two according to the polls 64 percent of rural canadian want the long gun registry gone and 56 percent of urban canadians want it gone so yes the majority of canadian want it gone."

Which polls? In my poll, 38% wanted no registry, 31% wanted to keep it, and 31% didn't even vote. Once again, only 38% of Canadians have a firm stance against gun registry. Hence, the issue is ambivalent as aforementioned.

[unifieddynasty]

@viper10011 "Three the liberals sent our troops to afganistan in green camo ya they really support our troops."

Must I really respond to this crap? The day a government does not even support it's own enforcers will be a sad day indeed.

[viper10011]

@unifieddynasty so you agree with me and your calling my comment crap?

[Zackarius14]

@unifieddynasty First nations should be given the land on reserves so that it is THEIR land not the governments anymore. After that it is done and they should be treated the EXACT same as all Canadian citizens. No tax breaks, no free jobs, no more free land then they already have.

[unifieddynasty]

@viper10011 " getting tougher on crime"

Another heated issue by which Canadians are divided. And by 'tougher', would that eventually bring forth prison sentences for petty crimes and the removal of the Youth Criminal Justice Act?

"Apologysing to the first nations people of this country and paying them what the goverernment ows"

If you are adept in Canadian history, you would notice that First Nations groups have in no way been properly compensated for past mistreatment. Apologies are a given.

[garagepr0ductions]

LEAFS SUCK!!! hahahaha

[mattmax11]

@garagepr0ductions you suck

[sndd0138]

i'd love to see the pictures of stephen harper playing hockey as a kid. i bet there are none

[sndd0138]

harper is so full of shit.

[infinitemika]

@sndd0138

"harper is so full of shit"

how so, pls elaborate? cant wait.......but i will be

[Guardian4ever]

I think spreading hatred for PM Stephen Harper... or any political leader is un-Canadian... While I don't agree with Jack Layton's policies...at least he was supporting the Canadian hockey team... Michael Ignatiuf? I'd be surprised if he even watched the game, let alone supporting team Canada.

[ActiveProduction1]

FUCK YOU HARPER.

[0762798]

Screw the Toronto Maple Leafs! Long live les Canadiens!

[hippysasquatch]

Stupid Harper, shouldn't he be I don't know conducting the parliament of this country oh wait, he prorogued it so that he wouldn't get in trouble for torturing people in Afghanistan, he'd much rather talk about hockey than you know his job

[infinitemika]

@hippysasquatch

"Stupid Harper, shouldn't he be I don't know conducting the parliament of this country oh wait....."

is our country this ignorant? yes it is...but thankfully, 99.9% of libs run on emotion of the day..and dont have back bones to rise up for anything but free handouts....which we already do....so they will continue to talk smack about things they have No idea about.....thank God no one listens to them

[hippysasquatch]

@infinitemika

Uhmm, well considering when I made the comment I was referencing the fact that head prorogued parliament. And we liberals do stand up for things actually. I am presently headed off to protest the mining of Catface mounting in the heart of UNESCO Bio-sphere reserve. So thanks for sharing your ignorance with us. Peace

[hippysasquatch]

@hippysasquatch mountain, fuck I can't type

[TurkeyWrastler]

Harpo's busy putting on makeup for irrelevant little foreign chit chatty sideshows. What a shameful buffoon. Harper can't even skate. He is not writing a book on hockey. In fact, he most likely hates hockey as much as he hates Canada. Harpo ran to a foreign repugnican advisor Frank "crazy" Luntz who advised him to pretend like he's Mr. Hockey. There's quite a few morons who will glaze over and coo like a baby transixed by jangling keys if someone talks Hockey...Its a tactic...Useful idiots.

[mattmax11]

@TurkeyWrastler why the fuck would he hate his country and how the hell would you know if can or can't skate

[outtathepark]

"Here in Hockey, they call it religion" WTF nice sentance

[PSNDonutDude]

Glad to be Canadian. I just don't like the cold weather. Lol. Stephan Harper is an idiot. The prime minister had been to my city a couple times. But it was really cool when Obama came here. Especially since were not really a big city compared to the ones around us.

[royquinn1]

Proud of our Game, my Prime Minister and not so much a lot of the people sucking on the teat of us middle class hard working contributors.

[TheDorkOfEarl]

sucking off the teet of the middle class? like calgary con Pierre Poilievre who after a couple of years of doing qualifies for a full pension at 30 years old?..will you haperite cons demand he refuse any such pension?..or is "sucking at the teet" only reerved for the MIDDLE CLASS who are 99 PERCENT of people who WORD AND PAY for the social services they evenntually use.....Typical con servative ...theres a sucker born every minute

[Rata4You]

Harper is the most awkward and boring man ever to have walked this planet. He has no spirit, no passion for anything. Hence, why he will remain a dufuss minority forever.

Harper suffered from asthmas in his youth...he was not part of the sports culture in school. He was left on the sidelines and developed an unhealthy envy for the jocks and people who participated in sport. This guy is a faker and too disingenous to successfully seem interested in sports. What a lamo.

[MrTjc2004]

Whoa...what's up your butt Rata4You? Harper suffered from asthma so he's a faker? So, he can't be a fan of our national sport because he can't play it well? Come back when you have something intelligent to say.

[Rata4You]

No, former classmates stated that he became an introvert and resentful of people who could perform and attract attention. He went back to his high school while he was PM....it was purported that he did so to show boat and retaliate against those that excelled in school.

[rebelyell1983x]

geeez look at all the Anti-Canadian and Anti-Harper bullcrap in the comments section.

[TheDorkOfEarl]

rebelyell1983x being pro Harper is what is antiCanadian.

Not one Canadian related vid in your list. Your nickname is even taken from the battle cry of a another countries historic wars. yep. a harper sympathizer for sure.

[mapleleafsfan27]

Omar Khadr should be brought back on the end of a noose only a left wing cock sucking leftest like you self would support a whole family of traders. to support the Khadr family in any way is treason and should be dealt with harshly and curley.

Fuck the Khadr family

fuck you

get the fuck out since you are a trader and a terrorist sympathizer.

[maksymec]

Not the most intelligent thing to say, but i'm sure that's not what you were going for. What exactly is your point? Would be very surprised if you have any knowledge of the case , & as far as your ignorance, go for it because we do live in a democracy. I'm a conservative, but i resent the way Harper is ruining Canada's image abroad.

You probly would vote for Sarah Palin you fucking cum guzzling queer piece of shit.

Keep up the great work!

[mapleleafsfan27]

no sane person would vote for Palin I have zero tolerance for creationists morons. I have bin following the case as closely as I can. I also have gone to the bring Khadr home rallies and handed out info on the family's past and current crimes.

[cgord31]

Fuck off. Not the time or place.

[winterowinter]

You telling others to get a job cgord? hahahaha liberals make more and are better educated and luckily for conservatives who are more likely to be poor and out of work they support you in your hard times. you are like harper, he has never worked a real day in his life either. yet is always bleating about others! pathetic hypcorites!

[cgord31]

You idiot, how do you know anything about me? How do you know if I'm a liberal, conservative or freaking NDP supporter? You don't so go beak off somewhere else. Loser!

[couter2000]

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

Proud of my country, my game, and not so much the Prime Minister.

[infinitemika]

@beefjerkyinmymouth

"Proud of my country, my game, and not so much the Prime Minister. "

can u give me a few examples of the prime ministers short comings?? cant wait

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

Examples: 1) How come he didn't get a majority when he was running against DION!?

2) He has shitty ideas about the justice system: Eliminating 2:1 credit, opening new prisons, increasing minimum sentences, Bill C-15.

3) He neglects the Aboriginal people.

4) The Afghan Detainee Issue.

5) The magic surplus-deficit trick.

6) Appointed Conservative Senators in the Senate.

7) I don't about anyone else, but does Harper even have a vision of Canada in the future?
