Wow, does Rick Mercer just hate everybody? He bashes all the parties and doesn't offer any solutions. I'd have an easier time listening to him if he had something constructive to say.
He's in comedy, it's not CPAC. It's satire ... it's supposed to, through humour, invoke people to stop & think for themselves. Nobody should love or hate based on party only ... judge them by their actions. Partisanship does not allow one to think or judge constructively.
the thing is you are the idiot. if you could pull your ass away from the television set and realize some things you would see that the farther you go from the right the better for the people. we don't need a stalinist system but we do need to strive towards a more socialist society in which the peoples basic needs are taken into consideration first and our tax dollars don't go towards meaningless wars that try to topple regimes that our "allies" placed there two decades ago.
yeah because socialism always worked so well in the past. Removing incetives for ppl to work, increase takes to ungodly amounts and leads to goverment and individual debt so high it rivials the Empire State Building. Yeah Socialism... every country and province that has ever tried it has ended up in a worse position then they were before. Learn from history, Socialism is only good in theory! Don't get me wrong their are plenty of problems in Capitalism but Soc is way worse.
i have i hard time understanding these people who vote liberal time and time again because they think it is some kind of centerist compromise. well you filling parliament with with worst party politicians. NDP 08
The NDP is a joke, they claim to represent poor and working class people, gues what most people who are poor and working class or are immigrants are conservative.
I'm an economics student, thats about as far from working class as you can get, your view of politics is pretty old hat mrWhite, you know layton is also pandering to pot smokers and conspiracy theorists.
Hmm, what makes you think so? If I could choose a party leader who cares the least about the poorer citizens of Canada, it would be Stephen Harper. Consider how much he has helped fund housing for the homeless, or has felt sympathy for immigrants with his heart.
Would I be correct to assume that you are Albertan or are otherwise from the Canadian West?
well arn't you the tolerant one. IF you vote Conservative YOU MUST BE ALBERTAN. Let me tell you something you idiot rought 33% of Ontario voted Blue int he last election, as well as record number in Quebec. You sir are what we like to call a self indulgent liberal idiot with his head so far up his ass that he can eat and shit at the same time.
Where do you get your numbers most immigrants and minorities vote left, be that ndp or liberal, obviously because immigrants are smarter than alot of ppl already here. Vote for stephen harper so we could have gone to Iraq, bend over and take it from the US on softwood lumber and generally just do whatever the US tells us to.
CBC represents the Canadians. Last time I checked your beloved Harper and the Conservatives had 33% support in the polls. Just do the math and you will realize 67% of the Canadians support political parties that are Center left.
yes it is tru that about only 33% vote right while the other 67% vote left however what you fail to realize is that some are much futher left then other, first of all the Liberal are Centerist and thefore do not count as either left or right otherwise i say that "Did you know that 75% of Canadians support Center and right?" You just flip statistics to support your view you con artists. Liberals are Center anyone who says otherwise is an idiot so stop scream about liberal left asshole.
Greginda11, it depends on where your reference point is, in the States Harper would be seen as a centrist, as it happens the Liberals are (from the reference of Canada), as you say, centrists.
lol i couldn't give a flying crap about how americans view our political system. The only view that matters in the Canadian goverment is the view from the CANADIANS! It is the canadians people looking at the canadian goverment which rules over Canada, explain to me why the hell one should be conserned witht he american view on it? Placing american views on canadian politics makes about much sence as looking at the moon with a microscope

Would you rather Fox News or MSNBC? I'd rather no bias from our publicly funded broadcaster.
Exposing the political parties for what they really are is constructive, I would say.

Stephane Dions incompetence will give the conservatives a majority government and then we are going to get fucked by the north American union.

youre an idiot
stephen harper is one of the best leaders canada has ever had.
He hasn't done anything wrong.
and atleast he isnt a stupid leftist bitch whod appoint more dumb leftist judges to the courts who dont represent canada.
and i dont think they will get a majority, if you watched the french debate/round table the other day, harper was shakey.

The point is that some people say that Stephen Harper is the equivalent of a Republican, and this person said that he would in fact be a centrist.

The only way this could be funny to have Rick rip off his jacket with a "Harper's Bitch" t-shirt underneath.

Mercer is a Liberal, as is the rest of the crackhead CBC. He is simply tired of the fact that lieberals are incompetent (like that was news)
the person wearing "Harper's Bitch" shirt should be Stephane Dion.
