spot13: You posted this link as evidence Canada's taxes overall are 4th highest in the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax…Did you not notice the listing is alphabetical? The next 4 countries after Canada have higher taxes! A quick scan shows we're below average: 10 countries have taxes lower than ours, 20 have taxes higher!
I really hope you forget to vote on May3rd.

i_monk's on a mission. Good luck fellow qb'r, in the end a minority conservative government is inevitable. The Liberal's will return to the PMO eventually but not until they find decent leadership. Now that playoffs are underway, I'm taking off my political hat and getting back to what's important to Canadians!
- If a minority Con gov't happens, then we still have the prospect of a coalition Lib-NDP. Which I'm fine with.i_monk
- you mean Lib NDP Bloc, which in my opionion is unethical, but hey, I'm watching hockey now ;)spot13
- Depends on the numbers. In 2008 the Libs/NDP were 1 or 2 seats short of not needing the Bloc.i_monk

Regardless of personal opinion about the parties or leaders, if this was a website contest, I'd vote for the NDP site, then Liberal, Green and a distant forth for the Conservative attempt at web design:

Harper 'tossed me under a bus': Guergis
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/…
Her and her husband are fucking scum. She brings in the kid at the end of the press conference for sympathy. What a piece of shit, I can't fucking stand her.
I somewhat agree with her in that she was booted from the party on unsubstantiated allegations, but the who airport incident in PEI goes to show her lack of moral fibre.
I do love how Iggy and Jack are using this against Harper, you're fucking reaching there, fellas. This election is shit, bring back Kim Campbell!
- she's nutsaldebaran
- Everyone reaches a bit far each time. I like Iggy's honestly more. Notice Harper evades many questions.Jaline
- About this specific case, I understand someone needing to be fired to make oneself look better (what many party leaders do)Jaline
- end up doing over time), but the RCMP noted there was "no evidence to support a charge under the Criminal Code"Jaline

Election 2011, a dark fiction

I don't know about you people, but I am getting harassed by the candidates running in my riding. They've resorted to telemarketing their campaign, robo-calling me for a "virtual telephone townhall", and have even snuck into my building and gone door to door knocking .... ridiculous.

Apparently someone in South Dakota has been using robo callers to call people late at night and get all rude about supporting the local Liberal candidate.

"Calling Stephen Harper a "Commodore 64 in an iPad world" who "thinks an app is something you order before dinner," NDP leader Jack Layton slammed the Conservatives for putting cellphone companies ahead of consumers as he unveiled his plan for the digital economy."
- Layton also said "bling" and "#fail" in the debate.i_monk
- Well that should win Layton the support of all the people who don't vote. Point: Harper.********
- People with cell phones vote, they just aren't counted in opinion polls.i_monk
- This person with a mobile phone intends to vote.Continuity
- the #fail remark is putting layton over the other for me.zarkonite
