| There's no way to restrict "unnecessary" abortions without also restricting "necessary" abortions. Pro Choice people are defined by the fact they do not believe human life begins at the zygote, and that not all stages of human life are equal. I had a response all thought up to th... |

| There is nothing in our system that prohibits Canada from supporting capital punishment in the future. Supporting it, no, but the SCC has ruled that actually having it or doing just about anything to someone in Canada that would make them subject to it in another country is unconstitutional. I don'... |

| Above all else, however, I believe the British presence in our gov't is a huge source of discontent among Fench Canadians. Being a part of Canada is a huge source of discontent among many French Canadians. Why should we enter into major constitutional reform to do something that won't even please t... |

| If I recall the method is for the returned Bill to be passed three times by the Commons and it bypasses the Senate, and goes for regal assent. That isn't the case at all. That's the case in UK with regards to the Lords, however. Constitutional amendments can bypass the Senate, but a bill must be ap... |

| It might depend what kind of a King we might have after, or even Canada won't give the successor a chance by abolishing the monarchy right a away. I hope to God that it's Charles, because if something happens to him and William gets it right away, I think the monarchy would be in peril, at least fo... |

| Having a Governor General as an unelected representative of an unelected leader of Canada is nothing more than undemocratic, just like our unelected Senate. Using your same argument, the Senate should still be undemocratic just because its "our heritage". The primary difference there is t... |

| What's wrong with an elected figurehead? Its democratic? OH GOD THE HORROR. If we're going to have a figurehead that wastes money and does nothing, at least make it a representative of Canada, not Canada's representative to the Queen. There's nothing wrong with democracy, but it (at least direct de... |

Winnipegger Winnipegger: So none have dropped out, interesting. Quite different from media representation.
They've dropped out, but they just can't always get their names off the ballots, and some people will still vote for them. |

stemmer stemmer: OR would they rather we have a flat socialist pay scheme where janitors and rocket scientists are paid the same? Where a movie star earns the same amount as a bricklayer?
Does anyone actually still believe that socialists want exactly that? |
