| US claims Canadian lumber companies are unfirly subsidized. NAFTA panel after NAFTA panel says no, Canada is doing nothing wrong. US ignores them every time, and finally Harper sells Canada sort to the tune of $1 billion in monies we're owed butthe US gets to keep and restricts our ability to look a... |

| The machines are hooked up to the grid, which makes up for the approximately %25 loss in these particular pumps. Now, they aren't used universally , but they're replacing more and more older hydraulic pump units -- and for obvious reason. Well given that the vast majority of the power on the grid i... |

My children will be put into an institutionalized daycare, heaven forbid that I might prefer some assistance paying for the dayhome that they go to.

| Take a look at federal election results and you will see that of the parties which actually elect MPs, the current FPTP electoral system punishes ONLY the NDP. In 2006, the number of vote, on average, it took to elect an MP from each party were as follows: 43339 to elect a Conservative 43489 to elec... |

| It won't work. The Liberals would have to vitually give up their presence in Manitoba and Saskatchewan outside of a couple of ridings because it's the Liberals who split the vote there...mostly by taking the first nations vote. While that would turn Saskatchewan NDP orange and gain some NDP seats i... |

| Also why not merge with the Liberals? Because we're not willing to dilute our stand just for a chance at power like the Reformers. |

| The purpose of the NDP is to be a truly progressive voice in Canada. To advance the cause of social justice. Worker's rights. Human rights. The environment. To be a voice against those who would pander to big business with needless tax cuts. To be a voice against the illegal invasions of other count... |

| Not quite, but awfully close. Garbage! There is loss in every system. Unless oil is so easy to extract that all you've got to do is put a pipe in the reservoir and the pressure within just forces it all the way to the refinery, there is energy input somewhere. You say it's electrical. Is there a wi... |

| Seeing as electoral reform is a long ways off, but the next election isn't, an idea ocurred to me of a way to work within the system we have. Take two ridings, preferrably close together, one in which the NDP has done well but not won in the past and has a strong candidate, and one in which the Libe... |

| The suction for conventional wells is provided by electricity, via hydraulic pumps. However , for the past 15 years, most of these hydraulic pumps have included equipment that actually produces up to 75% of the electricity internally. And this electricity comes from..... So, ultimately, the answers... |

| Until you consider the fact that most oil production in Alberta , let alone the world, isn't derived from the oilsands, but rather from traditional suction-driven wells. Which brings me back to my original point: blaming producers of fossil fuels for Greenhouse gas production, when the actual predo... |

| While it's true that Ontario, like Alberta, has been sending money to other provinces for years and years I don't accept the contention that people in Ontario are harder working than people in Alberta or anywhere else in this country. I never said Ontarians were harder working. I'm just saying that... |

| Something everyone fails to realise in this, Québec opted out of a dozen Federal Programes that all other provinces opted in on. The CPP being the prime example. I never said there wasn't a reason, just that they get most of the money. Personally, I think that since Canada is one nation there is a ... |
