When I was young, I remember that my dad, in Quebec, was complaining all the time about Alberta receiving also billions in compensations for the farmers that loss their crops because of drouts or floods. And before that I remember that Quebec paid for a railroad and a road system that was being built in Alberta to develop your newborn province... The canadian governement paid that with Eastern Canada taxpayer money...

Canada would be better off just staying friends with Québec, doing business as usuall, but at the same time leaving alone Quebec with its own social concerns and programs. Let us spend our money as we want. We are just more social and don't mind paying more taxes if it's to create a more equal society and more environmentally oriented économy. Two different but friendly neighboring countries would be better than one that keeps tearring appart its citizens hope.

@Muldfeld CTV "corrupts our political process, dumbs down our culture, and then has the gaul to beg for a bailout from the Canadian government."......sounds like the CBC! Right?
@Muldfeld Without Quebec, Canada is exactly the same. Nobody cares about Quebecois culture outside of Quebec. You are invisible to the rest of the country apart from poutine, your whining and the amount of money it costs the rest of us to maintain your subpar province.
CTV is THE biggest broadcasting tv station in canada and way more ppl watch it then that CBC BS shunning them is fucking retarded they fried u alive dion
I totally understand where he was coming from with that question that was worded so poorly. Depending how much time he had as pm, that would affect what he would be able to do differently from Harper. CTV made the mistake in how the question was asked, and they then went on to strike this low blow at a critical period.
It sickens me how the cons and many people discriminated against Dion because of his language and french background. Canadians should be ashamed, this was bush league.
@forallforfuture I am so pleased that CTV exposed to Cdn's how incompetent this...."Dion?" guy was! (Can you believe a “Green Shaft” program???!!!)
All Canadians are now so proud of Mr. Harper and leaders from around the world coming to Canada to ask his advice on how his steady hand has helped the Canadian economy. (Mr. Harper is an economist, you know).
@mikefastener Whoops, 59. (shrugs) I was only off by eight. I was only emphasizing the fact that fewer and fewer Canadians are voting, and I'm not saying that Harper doesn't do a good job. I'm just saying that he sure isn't another Trudeau.
@mikefastener ....idiot? No, sorry, you're not agreeing with me if you're calling him that. I'm a strong Trudeau supporter. He was certainly out-there about a lot of stuff, but no one can deny that he was the most charismatic, forward-thinking prime minister we've had in a long time. He did so many ground-breaking things for Canada. I didn't know him personally, so he may have been an idiot, but her was certainly NOT an idiotic politician nor an idiotic leader.
@TRtheCrazyOne Yes, he certainly was "out-there"....Western alienation that continues to this day, kissing up with Cuba and the murderer Castro and implementing a weird socialist mentality that we are just getting over!
@mikefastener The economy was in good shape compared to other countries due to do the bank regulations put in place by the liberals, the conservatives road/are riding on the coat tails of the Liberals previous economic policies under Martin and they also managed to evaporate the budget surplus that he left into to thin air. Dion had some very intelligent ideas including his green shift plan, but Canadian society as a whole is too slow to adapt and the Liberals failed to clearly explain greenshif
@forallforfuture Sorry about your comment about Mr. Harper "enjoying" liberal policies. I hear from the Conservatives that Chretien benefited from Mr. Mulroney's FTA and GST (both of which Chretien promised to end).
Bottom line, everything is better with Mr. Harper. Voters decided.
@mikefastener Have to agree with you there. I certainly love the new government! Who doesn't love a government made up of extremely corrupt criminals who, as opposed to being in office to serve the people, are instead in office because they're completely megalomaniacal, consider themselves to be gods and only want to be part of the ruling class? Wasn't that the assumption about Ignatieff? Hmmm....
@mikefastener Sure he couldn't communicate his ideas easily enough for the average person to understand. This being said, it does not take away from his intellectual abilities. He had some communication issues which can kill you in politics. This was not an example of such though since it was CTV who posed the question grammatically incorrect. If it is within your ability put yourself in Dion's shoes: a french question is posed to you but it is grammatically incorrect...yeah exactly.
@forallforfuture Dion's premise was based on a house of cards. He constantly (with Jack Laydown) said we must have the Green Shaft because Obama would do it in the US. Obama never did and Canada would be at a serious economic disadvantage is we were alone.
Mr. Harper has been amazing in doing the right thing and this file and we should all thank him.
Stupid frog...wish Quebec would seperate...and take their share of the debt with them. They suck money from Alberta and Ontario and are NEVER satisfied!
@footluv71 i wish we separate too... pour que nous puissions enfin se libérer d'ignares comme toi et que nous gérions nos propres finances... and to be friends with you canadians again instead of fighting all the time...
@ftl18 dmn blocs we gave u guys equal rights of ALL other provinces AND other benefits other provinces dont get in confederation u wefre with us from the fucking begining and now you r taking Canadas hospitality for granted fuck u and fuck the bloc
Wow, if you don't want us in your country, well do something about it. Spread the word and organize a Quebec bashing event. If you keep doing that until 2012-2013 I garantee you we will elect a sovereignist governement in Quebec and we will be more than happy to leave with our share of the debt!
I like canadians, I just think it would be much more easyer to have a great relationship between our people if we didn't HAVE to live in the same country.
@Sakalthor We here in English-Canada can hold all the protests we want, but if the federal government isn't willing to negotiate on this (and judging by the torrents and torrents of money they are pouring into Quebec by way of "appeasement", they don't seem to be), there's nothing much we can do about it.
Not that we don't like you or anything, of course. But the cost-benefit ratio just isn't in our favour.
@mikefastener lol screw that, we participate for the wealth of this country, we diserve our part just as any other actual province. For the very same reason, Quebec will leave Canada with its share of the debt and its share of the actives.
@Sakalthor How do "we" participate in the wealth of this country, when the ROC puts in $10billion/year into Quebec. (Sounds like a welfare state...right?)
You should inform yourself on how the equalisation program works in Canda.
Quebec sends around 60 billion dollars to Ottawa every year and the amount that we receive through equalisation payments is 8 billions... There's still 52 billion dollars that the government of canada spends every year that comes from Quebec tax payers. And that's almost two times what Alberta is sending. I wish you have more respect for Quebec now...
@Accassam Impossible to have respect for a welfare state like Quebec! You see there are so many transfer payments, federal public servants, federal initiatives, etc. etc. that Quebec is a net drain on the country. Agreed?
Alberta? I am not aware of them receiving transfer payments! How much did they receive last year?
You don't put $10billion/year into Quebec; you RETURN A PART of what Quebec sends every year... Quebec sends more money to Ottawa every year than Alberta does! We send aroud 60 billion$ while Alberta sends around 30 billion$... Go check the numbers and stop repeating that Quebec is poor!

You don't wanna see the thruth. You just don't understand how equalisation payments work. And you repeat the same stupid argument over and over again, that Quebec is poor... Would you say that Ontario is poor? They are the ones that send the biggest amount of money every year to Ottawa. And guess what? They get to receive equalisation payments as well... Would you say it's because they're a «welfare» province?
@Accassam I asked you 3 times to tell us the amount of money sent to Alberta; yet, you seem to refuse to answer. I assume therefore, for you, it is an inconvenient truth. Yes, Ontario has become poor under Dalton McLier--what happened to Ontario's wealth? Ask the lie-berals. Quebec? Always a basket case that needs money from the ROC. Tell me you believe Quebec should start refusing money tomorrow and your argument will be successful!!!
So I guess everything that belongs to Canada in Alberta, like the airports, the military bases, the government offices and agencies, etc... All of these are paid by Alberta... The answer to your question is not clear because it's not just ONE government program like the equalisation payments program, that sends money to the provinces, it's hundreds of different programs... (estimate: 20-25 billion$/year)
I didnt read the other dudes comment, but are you from quebec?If so, all I have to say is, YOU ARE CANADIAN.All canadians should be Canadian first, not province first.I hate when people from quebec are quebecan first, canadian second.
@Accassam Quebec can separate WITHOUT northern Quebec (a gift from ROC btw). The Cree have already stated they refuse to be part of a Quebec welfare state and that they will take northern Quebec and stay with the ROC.
No Quebec is Not divisible; not by a referendum of popular diconsent.
Québec founded the bases of Canada with Ontario, NS and NB. You can separate these four provinces from Canada because Canada is a Confederation, and especially Québec, because they never signed that confederation or the constitution in 1982. But once you have Quebec seperated from Canada, becoming a republic, good luck trying to take back pieces of it.
@Accassam Since the Cree in Northern Quebec have already announced they would separate from Quebec and remain with Canada, I believe a better statement is, "good luck in trying to stop a people from separating from Quebec".
Interesting when hypocrisy is so clearly thrown in someone's face--wouldn't you say?
CBC is one of the most respected news institutions in the world- they're not a "propaganda machine" and their reporters try to go beyond talking points. what do want from them??
As a Liberal, I am glad CTV showed the interview with Dion in its entirety. I have had the opportunity to meet Dion on three occasions and it was very difficult to carry on a conversation with him. He certainly does not strike me as a very charismatic man. I would be disappointed in the Canadian people if they had elected a man such as this. We can't blame his loss on the Carbon Tax either as Pierre Trudeau could have sold that bill to anyone in the country.
CTV does not have a conservative bias. They made the right choice showing that clip. Stephane Dion's poor English doesn't effect my oppinion of him and his party, but it maight effect some people's oppinions. The people who give CTV a bad name are those like Mike Duffy and Bob Fife who are obviosly Conservative. The again, CTV's Question Period host, Craig Oliver, sometimes shows his Liberal side. Does this make CTV a bad network? No! They just have some bad reporters.
Of course CTV is not biased. If they didn't show the clip that Dion screwed up, then CTV is biased. We, as voters, deserve to know that about all the candidates. Good job CTV.
Testy? Pretty touchy? A lot of resentment? Dion took a personal shot? Dion didn't start that whole shit digging with CTV. CTV made deliberately humiliated him in front of 32 million people. CTV isn't biased? Then why are two former CTV bigwigs now Harper-appointed senators?
I'm an NDP supporter and I feel sorry for the way CTV portrays the Liberals.
Dion is intelligent. It's just that he doesn't have the leadership qualities that being the PM requires. Not speaking fluent English didn't help his cause either. It was hard for English speaking people to understand and connect to what he was saying a lot of the time.
I agree that Dion was terrible, but playing that video from ATV was out of bounds. That kind of stuff is cut out of interviews all the time. How do I know? I used to work in TV news.
I agree that was a low blow. I am still glad Canadians rejected him though. Can you imagine a HUGE carbon tax during the coldest winter in 40 years when people are being unemployed left right and center?
makkakman you fucking retard,Quebec is nothing if we compare it to the United States.Long live Canada and the United States and fuck Quebec and it's fucking separatists fanatics!
He is not expressing his "dissapointment" at what CTV showed, he is expressing what a childish little baby he is by saying "waah waah i'm not talking to CTV anymore.".
It was not because he didn't understand the question, or has difficulty speaking or understanding English. It was simply that he did not have a good answer for the question, because he has no idea what he would do that Stephen Harper has not done. CTV was right, they did owe it to us to show Canada how Stephan Dion is.
It is necessary to speak both national languages if one wants to be prime minister. The communication of ideas is not an aspect of politics that can be sacrificed. He should have taken the time to improve his English skills before he entered the race. That is not the fault of CTV. If they did not air that interview, it would be censorship for his benefit. At least everyone is aware of the situation and can form their own opinion.
wow you just translated Dionese. That sentance was so grammatically incorrect you have to understand what you think Mr. Dion Actually meant to get any meaning from it
Ah, that's the spirit! I miss debating with you. You were polite and reasonable. You should have seen the nasty argument I got into on another video. It lasted days! I take this stuff too seriously...oh well. Happy New Year!
Do you ever go away? And who said I was a man? Oh, do you think only men can follow politics? Your assumptions are still incorrect. Let me tell you something. Mr. Dion failed his party and created a massive division in the opposition. Polls suggest that a lack of confidence in Dion's leadership led to an increase in Conservative seats. And HE thought he could lead a non-confidence motion against HARPER? Ignatieff seems better suited for the opposition - and maybe the position of prime minister.
And another thing. I believe in respect and rationality in politics. I don't feel the least bit intimidated by your vulgarity and childish responses. I see the faults in all aspects of politics that I research. I only consider our current situation and what is the best option. Do you like left-wing politics? Fine. Nothing wrong with that - there is something wrong with Dion's course of action. If you disagree with me, that's fine. But grow up and learn some respect.
FoxTreatment, thanks for the kind words. And a genuine Happy New Year from me to you! I enjoyed haggling over politics with you as well. You've got class. Regardless which side you're on, at least you give a flip. What bothers me most are Canadians who don't know, don't care. That's how alot of politicians want them to be.......
P.S. Fox, I gotta admit I married a Liberal. Extremely high I.Q., Masters degree from TO(unlike me both ways). I didn't convert her, she challenged my views mercilessly lol. Then she researched my answers and sort of converted herself to conservatism. Now she tells me the score :) Also, I suspect some otherwise decent people turn into jerks when they get ahold of a computer. No respect for people they can't see.
Thank-you for your reply! It is great to know that there are people like you out there. My parents influenced my love of history and politics. In these confusing times I think we should all just keep informed and do what we think is right. Best wishes for the coming year!
Politics and social issues are always changing. The world can change in a second. What is best one day can be disasterous the next. It is common sense. And the Conservatives are central.
The trouble with the left is they don't realize how far left they've gone. To them, the middle-of-the-road conservatives APPEAR far-right. When in fact it's the left who've become extreme. The Liberal party USED TO BE on solid ground decades ago. And the right really were far right back then. Best thing for the left would be to move to CHINA and let the rest of us live in peace again.
GReat idea! :) I wish we also had a Canadian version of Limbaugh and Hannity. Instead of Communist Broadcasting Company lol. Government doggone media....doesn't that belong in China and the old USSR?
OTTAWA - Michael Ignatieff must respect his party's commitment to the opposition coalition if he becomes Liberal leader, his wary coalition partners said Monday.
The Liberals "have made a commitment to the coalition to get the economy on the right track for Canadian families," NDP Leader Jack Layton said in a prepared statement.
That commitment included Ignatieff's signature on a piece of paper, Layton said.
I guess you're right. I still think he would be wise to back out of the coalition, and maybe he thinks so too, but can't do much about it. Mr. Dion went and left him a big mess to clean up and Mr. Layton is trying to secure his own position. I don't know why Dion had to start all this nonsense in the first place. I'll just have to watch the news and see what happens.
And not to come across as rude. Just blunt. Simply saying Iggy shows signs of perpetuating what brought down Dion, and probably led to Bob Rae realizing the need to step down in a hurry. The people of Canada as a whole are not buying this coalition garbage. And rightly so. Bring on the election!
"That is politics, my friend. Just be happy they have Ignatieff."
Ya, but Iggy is into peacock-posing for the media and pushing for a coalition gov't as well. So he's pretty much a useless, destructive, undemocratic Lieberal twit, too.
Actually, I thought Ignatieff was a bit hesitant about the coalition. He said he would wait until Harper exposed his budget before he would make a decision. It sounds like he is not pushing for it, but waiting for Harper to make his move. That way, he will have a better idea of appropriate action. He is a bit hard to read, but I'm starting take the Liberals seriously, again.
Tibily, why don't you take your head outta your butt and take a look around before opening your mouth? Or, just move to the US and jerk-off to the pictures of Rove, Frum, and Hannity you have above your bed.
It makes me laugh when Conservatives...*cough*...Reformers...call Liberals communists. Just goes to show how far to the right you people are when the political centre looks like the far left.
Nice going Liberals. Way to pick'em. Corrupt Jean, dithering Paul and Chicken Little Dion. Very entertaining. I cant wait for the next act and by the way how is the global warming Kyoto thing going?
These guys are NASTY. Is this how things are conducted in Canada? Beneath the surface it seems Canada's politics are very nasty and very aggressive. Backed up by police bullies.
yeah exactly, CTV totally screwed him over with that interview they aired when he messed up. Free press my ass, somehow, for some reason, most of the Canadian news seems to be pro-harper. I don't understand why they took so many hard jabs at Dion.
Bye bye Stephanie! Enjoy being the only leader of the Liberal Party to never have become Prime Minister. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA Stéphane Dion? lol more like Stéphailure.

I totally understand where he was coming from with that question that was worded so poorly. Depending how much time he had as pm, that would affect what he would be able to do differently from Harper. CTV made the mistake in how the question was asked, and they then went on to strike this low blow at a critical period.
It sickens me how the cons and many people discriminated against Dion because of his language and french background. Canadians should be ashamed, this was bush league.

@forallforfuture I am so pleased that CTV exposed to Cdn's how incompetent this...."Dion?" guy was! (Can you believe a “Green Shaft” program???!!!)
All Canadians are now so proud of Mr. Harper and leaders from around the world coming to Canada to ask his advice on how his steady hand has helped the Canadian economy. (Mr. Harper is an economist, you know).
Hope I helped you to clarify your thoughts.....

@mikefastener The economy was in good shape compared to other countries due to do the bank regulations put in place by the liberals, the conservatives road/are riding on the coat tails of the Liberals previous economic policies under Martin and they also managed to evaporate the budget surplus that he left into to thin air. Dion had some very intelligent ideas including his green shift plan, but Canadian society as a whole is too slow to adapt and the Liberals failed to clearly explain greenshif

You should inform yourself on how the equalisation program works in Canda.
Quebec sends around 60 billion dollars to Ottawa every year and the amount that we receive through equalisation payments is 8 billions... There's still 52 billion dollars that the government of canada spends every year that comes from Quebec tax payers. And that's almost two times what Alberta is sending. I wish you have more respect for Quebec now...

But once you have Quebec seperated from Canada, becoming a republic, good luck trying to take back pieces of it.

As a Liberal, I am glad CTV showed the interview with Dion in its entirety. I have had the opportunity to meet Dion on three occasions and it was very difficult to carry on a conversation with him. He certainly does not strike me as a very charismatic man. I would be disappointed in the Canadian people if they had elected a man such as this. We can't blame his loss on the Carbon Tax either as Pierre Trudeau could have sold that bill to anyone in the country.

CTV does not have a conservative bias. They made the right choice showing that clip. Stephane Dion's poor English doesn't effect my oppinion of him and his party, but it maight effect some people's oppinions. The people who give CTV a bad name are those like Mike Duffy and Bob Fife who are obviosly Conservative. The again, CTV's Question Period host, Craig Oliver, sometimes shows his Liberal side. Does this make CTV a bad network? No! They just have some bad reporters.

It was not because he didn't understand the question, or has difficulty speaking or understanding English.

It is necessary to speak both national languages if one wants to be prime minister. The communication of ideas is not an aspect of politics that can be sacrificed. He should have taken the time to improve his English skills before he entered the race. That is not the fault of CTV. If they did not air that interview, it would be censorship for his benefit.

Do you ever go away? And who said I was a man? Oh, do you think only men can follow politics? Your assumptions are still incorrect. Let me tell you something. Mr. Dion failed his party and created a massive division in the opposition. Polls suggest that a lack of confidence in Dion's leadership led to an increase in Conservative seats. And HE thought he could lead a non-confidence motion against HARPER? Ignatieff seems better suited for the opposition - and maybe the position of prime minister.

Sarah Dion-Marquis, THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Michael Ignatieff must respect his party's commitment to the opposition coalition if he becomes Liberal leader, his wary coalition partners said Monday.
The Liberals "have made a commitment to the coalition to get the economy on the right track for Canadian families," NDP Leader Jack Layton said in a prepared statement.
That commitment included Ignatieff's signature on a piece of paper, Layton said.

Mr. Dion went and left him a big mess to clean up and Mr. Layton is trying to secure his own position. I don't know why Dion had to start all this nonsense in the first place. I'll just have to watch the news and see what happens.

And not to come across as rude. Just blunt. Simply saying Iggy shows signs of perpetuating what brought down Dion, and probably led to Bob Rae realizing the need to step down in a hurry. The people of Canada as a whole are not buying this coalition garbage. And rightly so. Bring on the election!

"That is politics, my friend. Just be happy they have Ignatieff."
Ya, but Iggy is into peacock-posing for the media and pushing for a coalition gov't as well. So he's pretty much a useless, destructive, undemocratic Lieberal twit, too.

Actually, I thought Ignatieff was a bit hesitant about the coalition. He said he would wait until Harper exposed his budget before he would make a decision. It sounds like he is not pushing for it, but waiting for Harper to make his move. That way, he will have a better idea of appropriate action. He is a bit hard to read, but I'm starting take the Liberals seriously, again.

Tibily, why don't you take your head outta your butt and take a look around before opening your mouth? Or, just move to the US and jerk-off to the pictures of Rove, Frum, and Hannity you have above your bed.
It makes me laugh when Conservatives...*cough*...Reformers...call Liberals communists. Just goes to show how far to the right you people are when the political centre looks like the far left.
You bore me, sir.

Nice going Liberals. Way to pick'em. Corrupt Jean, dithering Paul and Chicken Little Dion. Very entertaining. I cant wait for the next act and by the way how is the global warming Kyoto thing going?

AS a conservative I was hoping this clown would last just a little bit longer.
Unfortunately he was more incompetent than I ever hoped.

These guys are NASTY. Is this how things are conducted in Canada? Beneath the surface it seems Canada's politics are very nasty and very aggressive. Backed up by police bullies.

yeah exactly, CTV totally screwed him over with that interview they aired when he messed up. Free press my ass, somehow, for some reason, most of the Canadian news seems to be pro-harper. I don't understand why they took so many hard jabs at Dion.
