Canada’s political reversal is complete

[Dr Strangelove]

Link or GTFO.

It was the local newspaper. It was recycled months ago.

[DinoDoc]

Then I remain suspicious of your claim that you read that anywhere.

Elvis Presley once wrote a song about your mind.

I didn't know Elvis wrote a song.

Dr. Strangelove was right.

A quick search shows a few sources that got it wrong. They seem to be relying upon the Montreal Gazette.

Sacre Bleu!

Is it possible that after first declaring no further payment hikes the Canadian government then decided to cut off all funding? The Globe and Mail article was published on Nov. 1, the Yahoo article on Nov 2.

[Wezil]

It looks like it was reported wrong (I find no confirmation of the reported claim). The Cdn gov said they wouldn't fill in or make up for the US shortfall and the Gazette reported that as withdrawing our funding. Several other sources then repeated it.

Looks like your call of bad reporting is the winner.

[Uncle Sparky]

If you quote Federal Canadian ministers, or the PM, you will be quoting lies.

[Wezil]

It's never a lie. You just hate Canada and can't understand the truth.

The article in the OP is pretty vacuous. Not a surprise as it was written by J Simpson.

Lopsided results in a single election do not a trend make. He had better insights when he was writing about how the West and Ontario are now a viable base for a federal government. Of course Quebec can be largely left out. The West was largely left out for years, a hundred of them. Population moved. Yawn.

The next election could easily see Quebec and Ontario in accord with the West on the outside again.

The common demoninator is Ontario. The only thing that is new is that Alberta and BC elect as many MPs as Quebec.

This thread was already solved at post #27.

And I'm sure DinoDoc would wholeheartedly approve that English is an absurd requirement on civil servants working in California (when it becomes a Hispanic majority).

Actually I'm for English being the official language of the country.

Does this mean Canada will tolerate inbreeding and large trailer parks that hold country and western music festivals. Fossil fuels and gunpowder will be the new crack. We will erect large shrines and temples to these substances. Tribalism and imperialism will be embraced as well as religion especially if it controls the government. A police station, a prison and a Mc Donald's will be built on every street corner. If you have any weakness's or illness like being gay you will be stomped by some conservative voting rednecks (e.g oil-workers, hunters, soldier, cowboy, cop.. the list is endless).

Or you will be institutionalized in some large prison like camp where they may gas you because your not elite enough or flawed in some way. And anybody who isn't living in a naive immature bubble knows a majority of conservatives hate gay folk but hey that's okay... right?? . All Canadians should spend some time in the military so they are toughened up and don't end behaving like some funny talking feminine behaving Liberace type character. If you don't drive a pickup you will be lumped in with those commie, foreigner, hippie, liberal types. Who are all vile creatures and should be hanged from a lynching tree. Btw... growing lynching trees should be government subsidized business.

Money is more important than people, heart is for wimps, hate is good, especially if the hate involves something geographical, conflict and loud obnoxious confrontational behavior is a beautiful thing, religion is awesome, especially if its christian, women and family are the only way. Creationism is where its at. Money before anything, profit is king. White skin color should rule. Smart with computers and stupid with people is a virtue which should be rewarded. More ATV's the better along with snowmobiles. Animals are a nuisance and should be used for target practice along with beer cans and barbeque tanks. Mother nature is whore and should be treated as such. Minimum wage for dark skinned folk and stupid people. Cotton should still be picked by hand. NASCAR tracks in every town, village and city. War is the most awesome thing on the planet and should be celebrated. Lots of parades, monuments and medals to sucker the next batch into doing the war dance. And only poor people should pay for those new jets as punishment for being poor. Besides their hair is a dirty blond and their goosestep is pathetic.

Sounds awesome. I think I should vote for conservatism too. Its sounds like a haven for quality people. And those people should get what they deserve.

Also hey If I'm invited to the next conservative convention can i bring my pet tank, its painted it up like General Lee. I can't afford one of those jets. I will bring my cowboy boots too.

Sounds like a damn fine country, that any Canadian could and should be proud of!

[Medex]

LMAO.... damn fine indeed.

Which reminds me Ben should be back soon. This place is not complete without him.
