For all those who've been posting comments about "screening negative comments", here's a little education to "plug you in" to reality. Comment approving is necessary on YouTube because there are a lot of weirdos out there who like to post profanity for the sake of profanity. So, open your eyes and you'll see how wrong you are! Liberals aren't afraid of negative comments. Conservatives, however, are afraid of all comments! They don't allow any comments 'cuz they are against FREE SPEACH !

@cheomire Paul Martin gave us an economy saving safety blanket called a HUGE surplus. If it weren't for Paul Martin and his Liberal government, Harper wouldn't have been able to spend wastefully like the oil loving trooper he is! We can "thank" Harper and his conservatives for the largest deficit Canada has ever had!! But then, it's the dumb, unplugged Canadians who voted for the conservatives TWICE! that are to blame for this mess, so it's about time they fixed their mistake. VOTE LIBERAL!

I'm voting for my candidate on a personal basis. I've gotten to know who represents me. I believe that a core principal of a flourishing democratic process is connection to our representatives; therefore, I am more concerned about the character of Member of Parliament than any other factor. Leadership is important - but so is having a caucus full of equally interested and capable people. That is where I will direct my vote - toward personal experience, character, and simple good sense.

@nvieira100 I was reading comments on the libereal video accusing Harper of facebook creeping and comments were screened. Some of the comments they allowed included those whcih,"criticised and insulted Harper personally and vulgarly". Example, they allowed a comment that said Harper is low class. This is not free speach, in fact it is worst than not allowing comments at all. Kind of like South Korea.

He's right that we ought to be worried about the Conservative cabinet's conduct in Parliament. Unfortunately, most Canadians are too scared of change right now, even for the right reasons. Making it sound like we've got to have our own revolution isn't going to win the votes of ordinary Canadians, whose political orientations don't extend further than their doorsteps. As much as Canadians ought to "rise up", Ignatieff could sympathize with Canada more.
