| @rick I thing Sen. Cruz looked good as well. I like his speaking points. He is taking a huge risk with his not going along with amnesty for the illegals. He is seperating himself from the pack with that statement. Only him and Trump currently take that position. That will certainly piss off the Lat... |

| The numbers couldn't have been skewed with almost double the number of muslims versus Christians. I'd like to see a breakdown by denomination before I I give this any credence. As has been pointed out, it does. The breakdown is assisted by a graph . However, I'd like to point out a key distinction ... |

| The roads on a native lands are not, first of all, a highway; these are dirt/gravel roads. The distinction is somewhat important as highways are created by the provincial government and have a separate set of care and laws. Secondly, most were made by the Natives themselves for private use, rather ... |

| Its a highway. dude, did you read what I posted? (iii) a highway that is located on an Indian reserve where the title to the highway is vested in the Crown in right of Alberta; Native land, provincial road. And I suspect (but, not being a lawyer...) that this the relevant clause: (iii)where the tit... |

| Meanwhile. all around Prince George they've UPPED PRICES by 10c a litre. There's an election on an no one talks about it... Most of the seats impacted by this belong to the NDP or Liberals, or are being challenged by both, but it's hard to really talk about fighting higher gas prices when: 1) Both ... |

People scrambled to read about them in the huge budget books handed out in parliament and to the media. This sort of governing will be the norm if this ... |

I don't view identity as being intrinsically tied to what my underwear looks like, or Dad humour being the same as Canadian humour. He can take pride in his heritage, but it doesn't change the fact he's not been a resident here s... |

| It's not all the Saudis. The US is about to allow oil exports because they are swimming in it. That harms Canada much more than the Saudis, since in our foresight we built everything to depend on sales to the US, except of course for the oil we import for Eastern Canada. How successive governments ... |

| Hi, I am Brenda, I am Dutch and live and pay taxes in Canada. I cannot vote in Canada. I can vote in the Netherlands. Read Khar's post. It explains quite clearly why Sutherland and other ex-pats can't vote. For example, come time to vote, how do you differentiate between a genuine ex-pat and some w... |

Not on a logistical base, but on a philosophical one? I get that these two guys are not able to vote, and that they view themselve... |

| Martin14, being gay is not a choice, being polyamorous is. If you want to allow heterosexual marriage than you'll want to allow homosexuality the same benefit for the same reasons. Polyamorous life is straight out a lifestyle choice in and of itself regardless of the status of marriage as a "li... |

| There's nothing sexy about polygamists. The vast, vast majority of them are fundamentalist religious cranks... So because they live a lifestyle you don't approve of you feel it's okay to deny them their Constitutional right to the dignity of marriage? I, like many others, agree with you on the poly... |

Most judges in California who stand for retention never even bother to form a political committee so they can spend money. If no one is trying to unseat... |
