| I actually disagree that we're divided by much of anything other than our own vanity. If you read off the end result sought by the NDP (which I would describe as a healthy, prosperous, well-educated society with a clean environment and no poverty) for example, without divulging which party's platfo... |

| Well, there are the problems associated with burning hydro carbons (and keep in mind that they go beyond just climate change). Then, there's the problem of finding a place to bury six billion people, considering that interring a body usually accompanies constructing some sort of permanent monument ... |

| It's meaningless to a lot of people. To some others, however, any conceptualization of a political spectrum that allows for expressions of any kind of broad diversity is very threatening. They prefer polarized environments because it makes it easier for them to push their agenda: "you're eithe... |

| Frankly, there are a number of issues at play: First off, a small urn approximate to the size of cremation ashes, when multiplied by six billion people, gets to be a pretty massive volume of waste. Continue to multiply this in accordance with the reproduction of the world's current population, and ... |

| The biggest differences are in: Personal Responsibility. The farther to the left of the political spectrum you are the more likely you believe the government should be involved in regulating the issue at hand. Conversely, with each tick to the right there is a corresponding opposition to government... |

| Well, if Stephane Dion wants the government to investigate even more of his party's past activities, I'd say let the baby have his bottle. |

| You know, pragmatically, I'm not sure that an apology is warranted for this particular breach of rules: 1.) The money in question here is, in my view, potentially excusable because the referendum campaign was about the future of Canada. The Liberals also use this excuse ("fighting for Canada&q... |

| The interesting thing to me is that Dalton McGuinty really is the poster boy for Liberal party environmental policy. Dalton McGuinty today announced he struck a deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger that would make Ontario and California partners in some Climate Change initiatives. But , if he had shut d... |

You can take all of it literally, because that's precisely how I mean it. I don't deny that. At least our leaders feel the need to justify attacking civilian ... |

Ironically, here's a quote that leads me to question how much Stephen Harper knows about the Taliban:
"We just cannot sit back and let al-Qaeda, backed by the Taliban, return to power in Afghanistan."
We can't let Al Qaeda return to power in Afghanistan? |

| That isn't the point. If you cross the floor in one riding, you should stand there and defend your decision, rather than flee to a stronghold riding. Right away yes but not necessarily in a new election. Unfortunately with our system the bulk vote party rather then candidate and if your initial sup... |
