If you Harper-bashers need to use the oppression of another county's citizenry as an excuse for pointless domestic partisanship, it's a measure of your own shortcomings, not of Harper's. What I am waiting to hear is this: "We are working with the international community to bring in strong meas... |

Harper said that he may be prepared to announce sanctions against the African nation and encouraged other nations to pressure Robert Mugabe's regime. "Our government has condemned the corrupt vote in the strongest possible terms," he said in a speech for B'nai Brith International on Frida... |

$1: "The problem I see, for the moment, coming next is that we bring back abortion discussions into society. We had problems before and if we bring that back too severely it will bring conflict."
How? Rioting in the streets by pro-abortion supporters? |

If you want to avoid schisms you have to rule with an iron fist like they do in the Vatican. Brilliant :roll: . And how's that been workin' for them? Why not ask Cerularius or Luther how that works for the Latin Church? The RCC is not falling apart like the Anglicans are over the issue of "gay... |

Income Redistribution??? I thought this was a Carbon Tax not a welfare program. I don't know about the rest of you but I really don't feel like having MY income redistributed. Screw you Dion! That's the way the Liberals operate. Take money from those that earned it and give it to others. I'll have ... |

Streaker Streaker: I don't see why this would get Harper many votes in Quebec.
You may be right but do you see it getting him any votes OUTSIDE Quebec? And he is very Quebec-centric figuring this is where additional seats are available. |

Their proposed national carbon tax, to be phased in gradually over several years, would hit home heating fuel and electricity, but not gas at the pumps. Imagine. In this climate, no carbon tax on gas to feed your Detroit clunker but you will pay it to buy home heating fuel when it is -30 outside. B... |

A jury agreed yesterday, acquitting the Montreal-area businessman of fi... |
