For those who aren't that aware of Rick Mercer, don't be fooled by the comments. Rick has criticized every party and probably sees no reason to bother donating to any single one. To the conservatives among you: you can be conservative without being complacent to lies and misinformation or following the Harper way. I know such people!
Let's also not forget that Rick is a COMEDIAN, and that it's silly to say that a news channel containing Kevin O'Leary and Rex Murphy is libreal-biased.
My god, this guy is actually 30s+... and yet he's also the same guy who made that immature, asinine video game comment. And the same guy who now picks a specific point apart to try to sound more legit. I almost fell for it, too...
Harper is a genius.This bothers Liberal ball washers like Rick to no end.Canadians gave Harper his majority knowing full well that this would lead to the end of welfare for political parties.I hope this does lead to the end of the Liberals altogether.Rick can just go and wash NDP balls....Hopefully the CBC will be torn apart and sold off. Then Rick and his ilk will have to go and get real jobs ,instead of living off the taxpayer,like all Liberals fell they are entitled to.
@arsenelupin123 If you choose to support ANY party well then put YOUR money where your mouth is.Donate to your beliefs,don't depend on taxpayers,many who are disenfranchised with politics to fund them.Getting taxpayer cash is what caused the Liberals to lose respect for their supporters,they didn't need to woo you for money,it was rolling in anyway.They lost their followers when the little gang of ''Old Boys'' decided they know better than their grassroots supporters(no leadership conventions??)
The per-vote subsidy is an equal representation of votes that is lacking elsewhere. For most Canadians, that dollar is the extent of their support to the party for which they voted. They're not ideological enough to dig into their budgets for that purpose, nor are they rich enough to compete with the corporate donations that allow the Conservatives to outspend the other parties several times over (and that's just during elections). This is just another ideologue trap and I'm not falling for it.
@capefeather There are very strict limits on corporate donations,brought in by Jean Chretien in order to cripple his arch enemy,Paul Martin,who had a huge amount of corporate sponsors that could no longer help him.Tories get the vast majority of cash from their grass-roots,like myself.I donate $25 per election.Like most Tory supporters I will put my money where my mouth is,unlike those who prefer a Leftist view who feel the government should pay for everything so they can hold onto their cash.
@russfromdodge I get that people who support specific opposition parties should donate to them. But see, the vast majority of people don't belong to a political party. I doubt that most even really associate with a specific party enough to donate more than that $1 to it. But your condescending tone says it all; you're part of the loud minority who is too absorbed in political ideology to get that. All you see are evil, lazy left-wingers. I'll support average Canadians,not hate-driven ideologues.
@capefeather I do not belong and have never belonged to a political party.I have voted for every party at one time or another(except green),I even voted for Bob Rae back in the early 90's.I vote for who I think is best at the time and support them if I truly believe in what their aim is.The last 4 elections I have seen no other leader worthy enough to run the country.The Liberals promised the Sun and Moon above for years and were simply corrupt.The NDP are too Socialist...Who's left to choose?
@capefeather Corporate donations have been against the law since 2007 for federal politics. Personal donations cannot (legally) exceed $1100 per year to a single candidate. You can donate an equal amount to a party & its affiliates for a grand total of $3300/yr, not counting leadership campaigns.
The amount that parties are permitted to spend during an election is also strictly controlled, ~$20M per party for the last federal election.
@dylanthecanuck HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i actually TOTALLY agree, but it is just funny how you said nothing wrong or mean or racist or anything, just that you like the man, and this has already been voted off LMFAO, but he is a good Prime Minister though

The sad part is that few people were aware that this was actually a plan by the neocons to make it extremely difficult for the other parties to come up with the amount of resources & financial support Tories have come to rely on. It is no secret that Harper & the Tories have several friends with really deep pockets, who are keenly aware that by supporting Harper, their pockets will become even more bloated. They consider the funds they give the Tories as more of an investment than a donation.
@dwayners13 Love it that the crazy subsidies are being cancelled! Canadians are outraged at politicians stealing our money. Interesting comment--how about letting Canadians decide where they want to put their money?
Simple.....it called "choice".
(Love it when I simplify things for the left-wingers!)
@mikefastener Yeah, that seems fair. Destroy all of the other parties' funding, and get rid of other choices. 2 party system, here we come! /endsarcasm
@Max17766 You never addressed my comment (I guess you are afraid) about choice!
Oh well, Mr. Harper made a promise to Canadians to eliminate this welfare subsidiary to failed parties and now that Canadians have decided to give him a strong majority, it will happen.
Hard to argue with the facts....right?
(About now, most left-wingers run away as they have lost the argument….will that be you?)
@mikefastener 40% voted for him, the other 60% did not. Cannot wait until next election, when all of the baby boomers begin to die off, then we can get a governemnt for change in office.
@mikefastener Either that, or the young generation finally decides to vote out Harper. Face it, the young crowd does not like Harper or the Conservatives.
@mikefastener Lost? Maybe this round, but just wait until the NDP floors the Conservatives in the next election. Plus, wait for the provincial elections to turn in the favour of the NDP.
@mikefastener Yeah, they destroyed the Bloc and sent the Liberals home crying. Next year IS the year, but thanks to Harper, the path may be a bit harder for the other parties.
@Max17766 Interesting that (I am pretty sure) a left winger like you did not complain when left winger lie-beral Chretien got to be Prime Minister at 40%.
You left-wingers must learn....hypocrisy is a dog that bits very hard!!!
@mikefastener I feel so bad explaining the facts to you, as you seemed so proud of yourself. It's clear you don't get a chance to correct someone often, otherwise it would not have been such a big deal. You see, countries that provide 'crazy subsidies' to legitimate political parties, actually have more parties for the electorate to choose from in elections. You mentioned you like choices, that is how you ensure more of them. Seriously this is highschool stuff ( Political Science 101 as best)
@mikefastener I'm really not sure of your point there, but um, ya you are right, so right. I don't know what I was thinking. You proved me wrong with your facts and witty repartee, oh ya and the perfect example of Italy. So no need to write me back right, because you are right & I was wrong, yup, no need to write any more, all your fancy knowledge would be wasted on me anyway. So remember you right, me wrong, no more comments please.
@mikefastener I like a good political debate as much as the next guy, however this conversation is really, well stupid. I'm sorry but it's like arguing with a 16 yr old kid about which team is better. No offense, but I got 3 messages from people who have ran into you on YT, 2 were very right leaning & actually apologized on behave of 'sane neocons everywhere' (as 1 put it). The other said while he 'appreciated' your vote, he referred to you as the 'embarrassiing cousin, you see once a year'.
@dwayners13 Interesting comment! I find many left-wingers tend to lie and masquerade a right-wing individuals to attempt to damage our reputation. You may like "a good political debate" as long as the participants agree with you. The messages I have received about the lack of any real points from left-wingers is endless (what really surprises me is their pettiness).
@mikefastener I can't believe I'm actually writing back, I realize denial is very powerful tool for those who can't face the reality that not only do people not like talking to you face to face, but also on line. Yes, your team won this election. I am sorry people from your 'team' also are embarrased by you, maybe instead of typing you need to look at youself, & get on MEDS! As long as your only argument is 'we won', it is not a debate NOW STOP SENDING ME COMMENTS PLEASE, YOUR ANNOYING!
@dwayners13 Yes, I am annoying-because of my debating skills and you hate when facts are used.
For a typical left-wing response--look 3 postings down at bevz2nikki's post. This is generally what I see and you can tell me if you are proud that it represents your image!
Candidly, the lie-berals got destroyed in the election. The NDP has less power than ever. Cdn's gave Mr. Harper a majority.
I am getting e-mails laughing at you--don't you feel embarrassed?
@mikefastener "Yes, I am annoying-because of my debating skills..." We already determined you have no debating skills and no facts. "The NDP has less power than ever" No, actually, the opposite is true! The NDP has more power than they have had in a very long time. "I am getting e-mails laughing at you....." Yes folks, mikefastener has gotten email laughing at every centre-left user on the site. We've seen this argument before and it's not true.
@gricer1326 I love this previous post I found...one of many many posts dissing this idiot.. "mikefastener is a master-baiter"....gotta love it... "mikefasterner, you are a buffoon" ...."pinhead"....."you clearly cannont read, and make up your narrative as you go along"... I could write a good trash story on this guy.....and Mikey would likely love it....with his penchant to spouting trash all over the internet... His National Enquirer subscription is perfect for the rot in his cranium.
@mikefastener 2 more people have wrote me telling me to block you as you apparently have a tendency of cyperstalking people in order to get them to agree with you. The nice thing is, most of them are from the right & we have some pretty good discussions with facts/examples & they are not scary weirdos. You don't debate, you repeat yourself, & don't use any facts other then Harper won. You annoy & actually scare people, this is not normal behaviour, you seriously need mental health attention now!
jcjccjcj@bs.com I watched this one again. Harper does not want cooperation, He wants to rule, destroy other partys, take away Canadian choice. He is a frightening man. He wants to do away with Social Progams,make Post Secondary education more expensive, Health Care harder to get. Reduce our Medicare. Canadians have always been a caring, compassionate society. Community is very important. Lets value looking after one another. That's who Canadians are. No Con Harper!
jcjccjcj@bs.com Yea Rick Mercer. Tell it Like it is! Where is the inherited economic surplus Harper ingerited? Lakes, Bodyguards, Ego. Environment Clean-Up, airplanes, irresponsible spending?? Not on Social Programs, Increase OAP,CPPD,Low income housing,InSite Safe Injection Site, Womens Resource Centers,Health Care, Nurses, ! Doctor for HOW MANY???Education.Tuition,Employment. What is the "Harper Govt For? Big Business,Criminal Cronies,Ego,Ego.Ruin Canada, Disrespect for Canadians!!!
martin balanced the books by downloading to the provinces. then our dollar went from 80 cents to par and 30% of our manufacturing shut down. ontario went from being a have to a have not . federal revenues dipped sharply - zlmost $20 billion. from 2008 to 2009. from 2004 to 2008 net debt of provinces and federal dropped from $793b to $739B
we have a deficit and what do we have to show for it? New housing, child care plan, a fair deal for natives, health care? none of those. Just lower corporate taxes.Bleh. Maybe he learned from Mike Harris about running a deficit to cut taxes, smart to cut taxes with money you dont have, and borrow to cover it.
@fatpoop619 I see you don't watch the show really closely -- he goes after Iggy too. And in any event, pointing out that Harper is a jackass, is hardly having a liberal bias. It's seeing the truth.
Liberal goverment had allowed the "Tainted Blood, Hepatitus, Aids" scandal and wold not even compensate the thousands of victims. It was the Liberals who had the "campaign funds" scandal, Chetien money scandal, etc.. etc... Now anyone who votes Conservative is villified as Right Wing for simply wanting integrity in Government. Go figure!
That's true! I hated harris! but I merely point out that one politician is no better than the next. In Canada, as well in a lot of other countries, they all LIE!
The Canadian government ran a deficit for 27 consecutive years from 1970 to 1997, amassing a total federal debt of $583 billion at the end of March 1997. It broke the $100-billion mark in 1981 and the $200-billion mark in 1985. While the growth slowed in 1988, our federal debt continued to climb, breaking $300-billion in 1988, $400-billion 1992, and $500-billion in 1994. It peaked in 1997 at $563-billion.
A simple question. If Harper were to lose an election, who would you trust to run this country? And why?
I'm asking this because I've seen a lot of "kick Harper out" comments, but a lot of them are based on illogical fear and bullshit, like those "Obama is a Communist Athiest Muslim Satanist" comments our friends down south are raving about.
Why am I funding parties through votes and taxes??? wtf... doesnt it show more leadership and strength if you can go out, get off your ass and campaign for donations??? I wish Harper HAD gotten away with it, because you know what? If the liberals or NDP can't get enough DONATIONS on their own, they obviously are not gonna be able to run the country
Is it just me, and i know this is sort of a weird place to put this, but sholdn't you be allowed to read comments even if they get a lot of thumbs downs? Following an argument is a lot harder...
why cant the opposition parties raise their own money? There are obviously libs greens new dems, and so on out there, right? Why does this need tax dollars?
Individuals don't often donate money. I mean would you rather give money to united way or give money to NDP to run adds. If they do donate they want leaders with clear direction and large change. Liberals have a leadership problem and are moderate so they need government money.
and whats the problem with less donations? Just because the LIBS have a leadership problem doesnt mean we should bail them out, who do they employ? what do they produce? And the liberals being moderate is your opinion not a fact. Nobody's opinion alone should dictate policy.
@ajgolfer1 Are you referring to the campaign budget? The campaign subsidy matters because it puts the funds where the votes are, parties that receive votes will receive a proportionate amount of money. Many parties get most of their funding from these subsidies but the Conservative government gets more money from corporate donors. Without this subsidy this conservatives would have a big advantage.
I never found Rick Mercer to be overtly left or right wing. It's pretty much stupidity that he rants about.
Stupidity like calling someone gay in a lame attempt to discredit them because you don't agree with their criticism of your hero.Grade one mentality at best. If that's the best argument you have, do us all a favour and don't have kids.
Go ahead now, call me gay. Tell me my mother sucks pole. Call me a fu$king liberal retard. Because that's all you've got isn't it?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Rick is real leftwing creep. Remember the doris day website he set up during Stockwell Days first election?
I heard Rick was gay - not that there's anything wrong with that - and we all know gay people in general hate the Conservatives and flock to the Liberals or NDP for their group hugs. Jeeeez these people suck. No pun intended.
Harper is a big fat liar, time and time again. Speak the truth, he'll shut you up. He's a dictator, by definition. The Canadian government is held hostage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God DAMN. i cant believe people believe stimulus is GOOD history has proven it does more harm than benefit the economy. the best way to help the country is to minimize government institutions, and lower taxes. It will take longer but will have a better outcome.
And how many times in history have we had stimulus packages- the kind that was deemed necessary by virtue of large banks screwing up?
I'm not saying we need one, but if it weren't for socialism, Canada would not be what it is today. Minimizing government institutions simply means minimizing our role in running this country because the government is US. It is not a foreign or an alien entity that chases you around for your money.
What we have now is perfect. It just needs a slap on the wrist.
fyi Canada is one of the "capitalist" societies in which you cannot become rich or poor without almost putting even your life on the line. that i do not agree with, success should be able to come easy, socialism is nothing but government control over the system, which is highly dangerous and steps away from dictatorial communism. I am in a small business and the government makes more off of what we produce then we do ourselves. and we used stimulus because of the banks in the great depression
this funding is like five years old!!!! How did democracy in the country exsist without it, I can't remember, we must have been a dictatorship, weren't the Liberals in charge
The system we have now is much better than the USA's, but in proportional representation our votes would go to putting someone in office that we want. The Bloc would have less seats, the NDP more, Liberals More, Cons less, etc, etc.
anyone who thinks the liberals have done a good job in power, they are idiots. the constant trend is liberals get in, put us in debt, liberals get out, conservatives get in and pay off our debt, and they get blamed and shunned for the debt as well as privatizing companies or how i like to put it, putting the government into the hands of the people OR democracy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HA sorry to burst your bubble, but look up your facts again there pal. Chretien created a MASSIVE Debt, martin helped with it. And as bad as Harper is he is no where close to any of the recent liberals that have been in power. and no privatization does not mean large corporations, it can be divided into smaller subsidiaries. Plus fyi the government institutions are corporations already, they are crown corporations so if they fuck up the gov't isnt responsible.
Chretien also voted against making the Canadian banking systems like the Americans - a decision he was being harassed about but really it saved all our butts. During this recession if our banks were hit the same way as the Americans we all would be screwed.
@Propagandhi900 no we didnt dipshit, our economy was colapsing before harper got in and now the liberals blame him ike the gay french cowards they are
Are you naive enough to think that if Paul Martin and the liberals stayed in power, that they would've continued a surplus into 2008/2009?
Canada (under Harper) was one of the fastest to show economic recovery in the post-recession era (2nd to only Norway IIRC) and yet we've had 4 elections in 7 years. You want to talk about a waste of money? these damn capaignsthat we have to watch every 2 years, because the opposition can't accept that they're the opposition.
@king15060 are you a idiot? Propagandahi sates true facts a reason why Harper should stay in power, and all you have to say is stop loving the dick? your political debate is outstanding i mean your good enough to join the liberal party.............................
@king15060 so why don't your type out informative comments, or are you just an idiot. I'm also glad i gave you the highlight of you day a response to your stupid comment.
I'm not saying that Chretien was a great Prime Minister...his personality was amazing, he was an awesome guy, but I opposed many of his policies, especially economic.
However, I do rank him as the best PM since Trudeau.
@Propagandhi900 You should never vote for someone based on personality. At the end of the day I don't care what kind of person is running the government, as long as their policies are sound.
@elmiraviking EI is a tax on people that only helps Newfoundland. First only layed off people get it, then only if you worked for a certain amount of time, then they only give you money for how long they think it takes to get a job which means none for Ontario. You cant steal from a fund that does nothing!
EI works in Ontario, for the most part, there are some glitches but I'd say there are in any part of the country. And you think it's easy to get a job in Ontario? Not at the moment manufactures are closing left, right and centre, where do you think jobs came from in Ontario.
@Propagandhi900 ya the liberals stealing money from the people was shure a good thing personally I think any leader who frikin steals money from his own people should be lined up against a wall and shot.
@Propagandhi900 hahah i sorry to burst you bubble but if you want to keep things running in the middle of an economic crissis you have to go into a deficite.
@Propagandhi900 People are losing jobs..... because of banks being greedy down south... company not learning to adapt and laying off workers.....thats why. Are banks might be doing good but our economy is still tided into the U.S.
As for the F-35, I believe our Military should have the best out there. and this is 5th generation multi-role fighter. They should also start looking into getting some V-22 Osprey and UH-1Y's as our chopper fleet is pretty much scrapped.
@frosty848 The best out there is the eurofighter and the F-22. We need the best for our purposes. The eurofighter is equivalent in capabilities to the F-22, and they are better at different things, and yet it's cheaper than the inferior F-35. The Superhornet, or any of the latest Russian fighter designs would have worked as well. But no, that would mean not giving sole source contracts to American military corporations. That'd be blasphemy.
@viper10011 Or not spend money needlessly, and squander a surplus made by Liberals. Funny how it's the so-called "fiscal conservatives" that put us into debt, and the "spending liberals" that get us out of it. Yes, Trudeau may have put us into a fair bit of debt, but Mulroney quadrupled it, and then sold off our companies and natural resources to American ownership in the 80s with NAFTA.
MERCER FOR PRIME MINISTER!

The Canadian government ran a deficit for 27 consecutive years from 1970 to 1997, amassing a total federal debt of $583 billion at the end of March 1997. It broke the $100-billion mark in 1981 and the $200-billion mark in 1985. While the growth slowed in 1988, our federal debt continued to climb, breaking $300-billion in 1988, $400-billion 1992, and $500-billion in 1994. It peaked in 1997 at $563-billion.

@ajgolfer1 Are you referring to the campaign budget? The campaign subsidy matters because it puts the funds where the votes are, parties that receive votes will receive a proportionate amount of money. Many parties get most of their funding from these subsidies but the Conservative government gets more money from corporate donors. Without this subsidy this conservatives would have a big advantage.

Funny how it's the so-called "fiscal conservatives" that put us into debt, and the "spending liberals" that get us out of it. Yes, Trudeau may have put us into a fair bit of debt, but Mulroney quadrupled it, and then sold off our companies and natural resources to American ownership in the 80s with NAFTA.
