Elizabeth May at Ottawa Rally Against Prorogation

[justanoldman1]

While she complains about CO2, never will you hear her talk about cities like Victoria dumping raw sewage directly into the pacific ocean. That I would fight against.

CO2 is not a polutant, every commercial greenhouse has CO2 generators to bring up the levels from our current 385PPM to over 1000PPM, to help the plants grow. During the Jurasic period the CO2 levels were over 4000PPM and just for your info, American subs have CO2 scrubbers that keep the level below 8000ppm. It is all BS

[justanoldman1]

In our little township, they collect recyled paper, glass and plastic. It cost over $2000 dollars a ton to do so and then they sell the stuff for $28.00 per ton. This sort of thing ups my taxes to do what? It just does not make any sense to recycle. Our country is filled with trees, if you have ever driven across it you would know all you see are trees and little else. We grow trees as crops, why should we not use them? Glass?, have we run out of sand?

Water the country is filled with it.

[123philhenderson]

I'm terribly sorry, but it has become apparent that you know next to nothing of the Green Party, their policies and ecological practises as a whole. I will repeat once more, Green Party policy IS opposed to the dumping of waste, CO2 DOES help plants grow, but it also raises the temperature on Earth, which is a clear danger. Our country IS full of trees but growing them as a crop makes no sense, how long do redwoods take to grow? And how is recycling not valid?

[justanoldman1]

@123philhenderson CO2 does not raise the temperature, it follows a temperature rise. Wow you really don't know very much do you? Stop watching Al Gore and David Suzki, they are just in it for the money and they lie. Al Gore has made over 100 million so far with his carbon company.

It makes no sense to recycle glass or paper because we grow trees for paper, they take about 25 years to reach time for cutting. OK red woods take a long time, over 100 years so lets leave them alone.

[justanoldman1]

@123philhenderson They use separate trucks to pick up the recycled goods, thus using more fuel and it costs so much to handle the stuff and then you get next to nothing for it, it is just a waste of time, money and energy. The only one worth doing is alum cans because they are woth .50 a pound. All the rest should be burned to generate electric power. All our garbage should be burned for power generation.

[123philhenderson]

You truely are ridiculous, you actually would rather go out and chop down trees rather than reusing resources? You must realize that the Earth is not some endless source of resources that is ours to pillage! People like you once claimed that oil was a commodity that could be exploited forever, didn't work that well did it? This is not about costs! this is about the fact our entire society lives unsustainably, and that we encourage developing countries to do the same.

[justanoldman1]

@123philhenderson Hey for god's sake why don't you understand, we grow trees for pulp and paper, they mature in 25 years and then we replant them after harvest, just like corn or wheat etc. You can't be that slow to get it, can you?

The green movement is what has replaced the red movement of years ago and it is the same people and same ideas but painted green instead of red.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Sure lets find a better fuel than oil before it is gone but pulp and paper is farming.

[Omega3chimp]

I am voting green party.

[justanoldman1]

Most members of the green party are potheads. It is pretty hard to run a country when you are high all the time.

Most members of the NDP are union people that work only as much as they really have to, in order to keep their jobs.

Liberals and Conservative are mature thoughtful people that have the best interest of the country at heart. Some times the Liberals have the best ideas and some times the Conservatives have the best ideas, that is why we have an election every 4 years or so.

[123philhenderson]

Lmao, I seem to find you everywhere, and you get no more intelligent. There is hardly a good idea in the last 50 years that the Grits or the Tories haven't stolen from either the NDP or the Greens. Your passion is admirable, but as Trudeau (a former Dipper) once said "Reason not passion".

[justanoldman1]

@123philhenderson you are just a child and do not understand politics yet. Perhaps when you grow up you may get a little smarter but I doubt it.

Churchill once said "if you are not a conservative by the time you are fourty, you have achived nothing"

Bye for now asshole.

[123philhenderson]

Ah well you have clearly proven yourself to be a well spoken individual, with clearly articulated ideas. Churchill also believed that the British Monarchy had the right to throw Gandhi in jail, and called him a sickening charlatan. You do not even know what my beliefs are, and you are too narrow minded to find out what they are. I am more than willing to listen to your opinion, I only ask for the same respect. Wisedom does not necessarily relate to age my friend.

[justanoldman1]

@123philhenderson By supporting fatso May, you have proved that you do not deserve respect.

[123philhenderson]

And why is that? You have given nothing but nasty venom to defend your opinions. A truely valid point of view doesn't require childish name-calling. Ad hominem attacks do not advance a dialogue any further. I could attack you, or the people you support, but i don't. Because I recognize that despite our differences of opinions, we are all honest people looking for answers, even you. It is the measure of an intelligent mind to entertain an idea without excepting it.

[jeremygoldberg89]

This literally brought tears to my eyes. Its people like her that prove to me that Canada will not give up.

[gsmaverick1]

She's reacting as if no one has ever pro-rogued Parliament before. In fact is has happened over 100 times since 1867. See as her party's main platform plank has been proven to be a big farce she's trying anything she can to stay relevant.

[justanoldman1]

@gsmaverick1 These people don't want facts, their minds are made up. The supporters of the green party and the NDP are so brain dead that it wouldn't matter how much proof you placed in front of them, they would still vote for idiots like May.

[miriley6]

Elizabeth, you are my hero! Harper can't just think we won't care. I'm 15...AND I CARE!

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 and you are to stupid to vote yet thank god.

[miriley6]

Ha, so sad that you feel teens are stupid.

Very unfortunate we have people like you, I do respect people's opinions. I respect your feelings on this situation, however I feel differently.

Oh and by the way, our school is part of a program where they allow some students to vote. So yes, I did vote. =)

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 If you voted and you are not yet 18 that is a ctriminal offence.

[miriley6]

Lmao, it's not. If you read my comment I stated that "our school is part of a program" Therefore, under goverment supervision, we were allowed to vote not making what I believe you ment to say as a criminal offence.

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 I will be contacting my member of parliament to register a complaint. There is no way children should be allowed to vote period.

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 Please also inform your parents that you are very rude to older people, shows poor up bringing.

[miriley6]

You think I'm rude becuase I respect your opinion? Why are you contacting your member of paliment? That is ridiclious, allowing teens, not children there is a difference, gives them an oppurtunity to experience the way of voting, it gives us a chance to see how the goverment system works. I feel very sorry for you that you have those views, however I respect it. I just feel you should really open your mind and not be so close minded to the world.

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 We live in a country of rules and one of the rules says you must be 18 years of age to vote. Same thing about drinking, you must be a certain age and the reason for that is because until you are fully matured your ideas and views are distrorted. When I was very young I supported the NDP. After I was in the work force for awhile, I saw first hand that not all people work the same. I could do the work of 3 or 4 regular people who just did what they had to. I don't vote NDP now.

[miriley6]

Look, I am involved in the workforce. You don't know me, therefore you cannot question my intelligence. I'll have you know I am going to Harvard for a week in the spring to do some work there. I am a Canadian citizen, therefore I have a say in how my country is run. Now, I've said what I want to say to you, and now I'm walking away. I have seperate views then you, I think Harper made a mistake in closing parliment. You feel differently, we all have views. Respect them, thanks.

[justanoldman1]

@miriley6 every young person thinks they are so much smarter than the old farts running the country but just wait awhile and you will find that after several more years your ideas will change dramaticaly from the way you think now. Many countries, including the USA have a minimum age requirement to be president because as you get older your response is slower and more thought out. Sure change things for the better but learn what things are all about before your gallop off wildly in all direction

[miriley6]

I don't think I'm smarter then them, I likely may not be as smart as some of them, I just have views an opinions, which I stated earlier, so please, stop sterotyping. It's very disrespectful towards me.

Thanks, and I'm done. I've said what I wanted to.

[unsureandunaware]

id rather have conservatives in power then the liberals

[123philhenderson]

I only rather have neither.

[unsureandunaware]

well its going to be one or the other

[pcrb1979]

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for a democratic Canada !

[MaryJaneCannabian]

That was awesome!

[collegeguy2009]

We canadians shall overthrow the fascistic conservative government in canada. lets keep conservatism out of canada.

[justanoldman1]

[collegeguy2009]
