@danbeb That's what happens when a the left vote was divided between 2 parties, he got a majority government with less then 50% of the vote. He was even held in contempt of parliament before that election. Corporations love him and so do their media stations, there's nothing strange about any of it.
@TheRimDoctor The NDP is not ready to form a government. They are still very close to the trade unions and such tactics will never appeal to the middle-classes.
@TheRimDoctor ....especially given the NDP's huge surge in Quebec and no doubt they still have some MPs who have some sympathy with the separatist movement (including their interm leader.).
@324wilson If they went, those MP's would go too. Just not without a number of referendums and arguements. And since it's Canadian territory only the separatist areas would be freed. Typically an incredibly small area like Montreal or Quebec
Harper, you piece of shit, trying to smear Navdeep Bains like that. This coming from a guy who has a Tamil Tiger as a candidate in Scarborough, as well as having the genocidal Ripudaman Singh Malik, THE FINANCIER OF THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK AGAINST CANADA IN ITS HISTORY supporting the Conservative candidate in Vancouver South, because she's running against Liberal incumbent Ujjal Dosanjh, a true champion for combating extremism in Canada. Stephen Harper -- HYPOCRITICAL TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER!!!
Harper SUCKS! Im with the Liberals... Harper has no right to accuse another member of parliament...and especially not a respectable one such as Navdeep Bains. SHAME ON U HARPER... i had respect for you...but now its ALL GONE!
First off, all the PM wanted to do was read a quote, second, the Liberals would get up and ask a question of the Minister or the PM and then shout like children when they got up to answer, third, he didn't smear an MP of the House, he was trying to show a possible link between the Liberal voting record and some news stories floating around the country which had a story about an MP's FATHER. Not the MP himself. The Liberals always do that, and always smear Harper as a Reform crazy, tit for tat
CSIS should return all these terrorists to sender. We don't need another Air India tragedy, MLAs/MPs beaten up by thugs and doda dealers. Don't bring your ethnic hatreds and political baggage here.
IMO, any holy book-clutching misogynist with a beard and a bag on their head should be denied entry into Canada, as a matter of policy. We have enough problems with seditious dirtbags like Mohammed Elmasry, Ali Hindy and Sayeed Sohawardy who need deporting. Ditto the Bountiful types.
The Speaker really needs to take more control of the house he just stands there and keeps saying order, hell if it were me I'd start yelling at them telling them to grow up and let the PM finish.
Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame on the delinquents who each steal $155400.00 per year from the public purse. Only the most wicked narcissism can rationalize this self-issued salary.
It's because they know they can. In other countries there would be rioting in the streets, even if it cost them their lives. Here in Canada we just bend over and take it, and grumble a bit to our buddies at the office.
I can't believe how far the immaturity in there goes. Not only do they completely drown out the PM, but they won't even let Ignatieff finish when he tries to make a statement, because they're still too busy making noise. Crazy.
Dude, I think you are retarded. Have you ever looked at the new "anti-terrorism act". It is the first authoritarian act passed in canada in a long time. It is very similar to the U.S patriot act in nature and has many of the same clauses. The alligation made by harper was ludicrous, and based on a newspaper making inferatins on shaky information. Don't believe everything you read or hear, think for yourself. The Conservative party is the worst thing that happened to Canada.
It sadly appears that Canadians suffer from the same liberal extremism as does America. Liberals here work daily to give the United States up to the UN, replace our Constitution with international law and open our borders to terrorists giving them free reign of our country. They continually take our security measures to court, sueing to dismantle them in the guise of equal rights for terrorists.
I don't think Canada's ATA and the US Patriot Act can be compared that easily. The ATA was very limited, really only 2 areas where rights were restricted and then only under special circumstances with the specific consent of a judge and the Minister of Justice. And in the end there can be no secret charges and indefinite detention. The Patriot Act is much more draconian and wide-ranging.
The Liberal Party is the worse thing to ever happen to Canada. The Liberal Party has attacked Stephen Harper in the same way with faceless allegations with the Cadman affair. It's all hearsay and nothing different.
@EnchancedHuman Well, if you happen to support the Canadian Liberal party, then yes you are a fool! Freedom works. Today's modern day Liberalism is a disease and it will eventually die.
@baird007 No look, Liberal is the best party we got going for us, if you cant accept that be anarchist, but NDP is a load of propaganda, Conservatives are religious dogmatic con artists and Liberals, well they are just a bit silly, but hey they are better then the rest. I myself choose Anarchy in till I am old enough to actually change the government, in till then I am rebelling against it.
The last thing this country needs is a bunch of tax and spend Liberals who waste taxpayer dollars on usless long gun registry programs, sponsorship scandals, HRDC boondoggle and the lists goes on and on. The Liberal Party is the most corrupt party in Canada to date. I think we have better alternatives than the Liberal Party. Personally, I'm a Libertarian which in that case would be a classic Conservative. Your comment would be right if you were referring the the US Republican party.
This video embarasses me as a Canadian, but I agree with the comment above comparing the maturity levels between the Conservative and Liberal parties.
you'll notice the stark difference between...i guess you could call it "the maturity levels" between the Conservatives and the Liberals. Liberals, my God, you are grown men and women - conducting yourselves like children - in the federal parliament of one of the most exemplary countries in the world.
What a poor joke the parliamentary sessions are in Canada. A complete absence of leadership, for example Stephane Dion, plagues our nation. Somebody step up to the plate.
i can't wait until the liberals return to power in canada.don't give up my canadian liberal friends.if you do then you'll become as weak and as spineless as we have here in america.
Ahem, maybe you should take your own words as a hint, weak and spineless, that about sums up Liberals in Canada and the US.
This clip illustrates how a radical far left Liberal, who's Dad was implicated in the Air India disaster, can make the WHOLE Liberal party into accomplices. It doesn't look good on them, it stinks to high heaven.
every head of the liberal party has been prime minister of canada!this one will too.i really hope they don't give into conservative aggression like we have here in the states.i hope bush as your guy can leave at the same timme.i want to see a noconfidience vote!
lol yes the liberals are pathetic indeed but you have seen nothing yet. The NDP (far left party) wants to increase taxes even though we are overwhlmed with taxes. If you told them that Americans breath oxygen they would strap on a canister of carbon monoxide and start inhaling. this is their pathetic 'leader' Jack layton video- Just type in "Jack Layton Slip". lol.
If liberals apologized for their corruption to the Canadian people things might be different! Bottom line...Ignatieff and Dryden both said that Dion didn't get it done—do you agree or not? Simple question, yet liberals keep avoiding it....why?
By-the-way Dion....please drop the French citizenship...isn't Canada good enough?
In the Conservative "fact ads" (not attack ads as the liberals keep calling them) we see liberal delegates laughing at Dion's silly answers. Obviously, liberals think their new leader is a fool. Tell me how I am wrong.
The "wingers" (the general term most Canadians are now calling the liberals aka left wingers) are so silly! Let's help Mr. "Didn't get the job done" Dion by making sure he doesn't ever get the PM job!
this vidio is prime proof that there is no difference between the pirate parties in government wrecking Canada, and that one is better off supporting anyone but the 3 pirate crews. . . .
The police should have a say in the judicial system. The Liberals are just afraid of losing the supporters that let the get away with the sponsorship scandal. If anyone has dirty hands, it's Paul Martin. Stephen Harper doesn't deserve all this flack that everyone spews at him. He's creating practical solutions to climate change without putting the whole damn country into economic peril.
Our judicial system is flawed in that FEDERAL Court passes sentence and upon appeal it then goes to PROVINCIAL COURT. There in lies the problem. Judges try and apply sentences that will not be over turned, if they were Federal on appeal there would be better sentencing and better continuity. The Tories being about IMAGE and not substance, fail to address this fact let alone acknowledge it. Better to blame!...Who is it this week?,... I forget.
The problem begins with that socialist cocksucker Trudeau's Charter of Rights messing up our laws and giving the unelected and unwanted judges at the Supreme Court the right to make up laws (favorable to the Liberals) and rule the country while their Liberal buddies are vacationing in China.
Our Supreme Court regardless of what Mr."Can't dress himself" tells you doesn't make the law they do iterpret it and tell the House how to acheive what ever it is they want. The problem is the RIGHT doesn't know what it wants, i.e. gay marriage, at least the Liberals took a stand and didn't FLIP FLOP! like "no nuts" Harper. What a leader...a Could you get the door for me ,I can't find my assistant? hahaha.
The Supreme Court's unelected and unaccountable judges act like as if they are running the country (on behalf of the Lie-berals) and writing and overriding laws as they please.
The RIGHT has not been flip-flopping on any issue. The RIGHT has clearly been opposed to gay marriage (as have at least 32 Liberal MPs) from the start.
Dam Charter of Rights! It makes it difficult for morons to ride ruff shod over the unwilling! to bad it can't be ignored like that piece of shit Bill OF Rights John George Diefenwanker produced when he saw the need 50 yrs ago. Again he too went for IMAGE as it never was binding and therefore had no SUBSTANCE. Tories never change, just the faces.
Wow. Canadian politicans are just as pathetic as American ones. I always thought they conducted themselves with a little bit more professionalism and carried themselves better... Except for that looney woman that has Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Our current Prime Minister is as close to a "George Bush" as a Parliamentary system will allow. Thankfully we have something called a non confidence vote. Some thing that can trigger a snap election should more members vote against a designated bill than for it.
Mr. Harper's days are numbered should he lose his "separatist" support.Yes currently "our Republicans" have the support of a second party(the Block) dedicated to splitting up Canada. Go figure?
Well, rome80222, thank you for that illuminating post.
This clip is one of the most infuriating I have ever seen. I was considering voting Liberal for the next election but now I would rather go up and punch them all in the face. The conduct in the house was disgusting. They were all acting like infants. It makes me embarrassed to be Canadian.
I don't think a reputable paper such as the Vancouver Sun, would print up anything contrived! They would be sued and equated to the likes of any crappy tabloid. It is not a smear to read a substantiated publication. If he were to outright accuse the MP without any back up, then you would have a point. I take exception to your accusation that Harper is a disgrace to the office. If anything, the Liberal parties unruliness in the house is a disgrace.
Your support for the Liberal party is disgusting. You would support a party who supports unlawful spending on a gun registry and scandals? I would take Harper's 1 year over the "Fiberals'" 13 yr period anyday. At least Harper went to see the troops. That was his first international trip.
Why does Harper have to apologize for trying to read a article from a paper, who must have substantiated documentation in order to publish their stories to avoid slander and legal action. It is obvious that the Liberal Party can't handle the truth, and the Vancouver Sun is not exactly a tabloid.
The PMO carries weight(more each day in Harpers case). He was asked about meddeling in Judge selection,then goes of on some contrived story about The Air India Attack , A liberal MP(9 yrs old @the time) and protecting his father inlaw. A Deliberate SMEAR! discusting on all levels and a discrace to his office.
I cannot wait for the liberal voices to be silenced by a LARGE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. You are right Stephen Harper rocks, Liberals make mountains out of mole hills.
It took the Tories 12 years to get their "two car Honey Wagon" organized. Now that it's running it seems to be pulling to the center of the road. I sure hope the RIGHT rear end doesn't let go, or there will be shit everwhere.
hahaha... that was awesome. i've never seen canadian politics in action (i'm an american). i like this harper guy! does anyone know what he thinks about friedman economics?
In general, I'd say he's a supporter of Friedman's theories. Harper is definately in favour of "positive non-interventionism", advocating low taxes, laissez-faire economy, and minimal government intervention in the lives of citizens. Like Friedman he is best described as a 'Classic Liberal'. But in Canada, all parties support an extensive role for government in healthcare, education, social services and the environment; we don't really have anyone advocating a pure Friedman perspective.
thanks for the quick reply! maybe i'll move to canada once i graduate. bush is, without a doubt, the most totalitarian jackass i could have imagined breaking (as opposed to stepping... read: 2000 election) into office
@PrimarySource888, I think that you are bang on lest the fact that you failed to mention the fact the Government of Canada is in a minority position. Should the governing party come to majority status, I feel that you would see many of the things that you outlined come to fruition. This is a very key element in Canadian politics and will likely be determined in the not too distant future, likely around budget time in March. Hopefully Canadians are over this 'fear factor' of the P.M by then.

I don't think a reputable paper such as the Vancouver Sun, would print up anything contrived! They would be sued and equated to the likes of any crappy tabloid. It is not a smear to read a substantiated publication. If he were to outright accuse the MP without any back up, then you would have a point. I take exception to your accusation that Harper is a disgrace to the office. If anything, the Liberal parties unruliness in the house is a disgrace.

Yes, Backbenchers with spine that refuse to be muzzled,or let their own hang out to dry. Disgusting!

Your support for the Liberal party is disgusting. You would support a party who supports unlawful spending on a gun registry and scandals? I would take Harper's 1 year over the "Fiberals'" 13 yr period anyday. At least Harper went to see the troops. That was his first international trip.

Why does Harper have to apologize for trying to read a article from a paper, who must have substantiated documentation in order to publish their stories to avoid slander and legal action. It is obvious that the Liberal Party can't handle the truth, and the Vancouver Sun is not exactly a tabloid.

The PMO carries weight(more each day in Harpers case). He was asked about meddeling in Judge selection,then goes of on some contrived story about The Air India Attack , A liberal MP(9 yrs old @the time) and protecting his father inlaw. A Deliberate SMEAR! discusting on all levels and a discrace to his office.

I cannot wait for the liberal voices to be silenced by a LARGE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. You are right Stephen Harper rocks, Liberals make mountains out of mole hills.

God! I LOVE watching Harper in action!
SNIFF! Do you smell it? There's a new smell of pride in the air now to being a Canadian!
Suddenly, after all the Chretien-Liberal Funky Stench, we can all breathe a little freer and be a little prouder to be Canadian.
Can't wait for the Conservative MAJORITY!

Better than the shit smell we suffered through for over 12 years with the Liberals!

It took the Tories 12 years to get their "two car Honey Wagon" organized. Now that it's running it seems to be pulling to the center of the road. I sure hope the RIGHT rear end doesn't let go, or there will be shit everwhere.

They finally realized that to fight Liberals, you have to descend down to where the Liberals find and cultivate their support.
It's a shame Canada has been polluted with Left-Wing shit for so long.

hahaha... that was awesome. i've never seen canadian politics in action (i'm an american). i like this harper guy! does anyone know what he thinks about friedman economics?

In general, I'd say he's a supporter of Friedman's theories. Harper is definately in favour of "positive non-interventionism", advocating low taxes, laissez-faire economy, and minimal government intervention in the lives of citizens. Like Friedman he is best described as a 'Classic Liberal'. But in Canada, all parties support an extensive role for government in healthcare, education, social services and the environment; we don't really have anyone advocating a pure Friedman perspective.

thanks for the quick reply! maybe i'll move to canada once i graduate. bush is, without a doubt, the most totalitarian jackass i could have imagined breaking (as opposed to stepping... read: 2000 election) into office

@PrimarySource888, I think that you are bang on lest the fact that you failed to mention the fact the Government of Canada is in a minority position. Should the governing party come to majority status, I feel that you would see many of the things that you outlined come to fruition. This is a very key element in Canadian politics and will likely be determined in the not too distant future, likely around budget time in March. Hopefully Canadians are over this 'fear factor' of the P.M by then.
