Electro Rock Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 No international socialist organization at that time wanted to go to war with the ally of their ideological leader and role model, the Soviet Union, at least until the Nazis attacked.

DonLever Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Perhaps some people need a history lesson. The CCF WERE the NDP in 1940. They basically changed their name to the NDP in the 1960. The CCF were Socialists as are the NDP are today. Some members of the CCF were against going to War in Europe UNTIL the Soviets were attacked by the Germans. So Harper is partially correct. The CCF-NDP initally oppose the war. But the general population does not seem to know this fact. Including the majority of the people on this forum.

Guest PUNJABI CANUCK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 From first article. It's not just about being wrong, but the implications of such a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The Globe and Mail was correct when they said the people who voted for Harper had really no idea about politics, and just voted because they liked a candidate more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horny Manatee Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Even if it was a correct statement, which it was not, it was so long ago that it would be irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 How exactly did the CCF, and the CCF specifically know that Hitler was going to betray Stalin? Or do some people just forget that the Germans and Soviets were allies until 1941? http://en.wikipedia....Ribbentrop_Pact Where exactly did you find this gem...?

Guest PUNJABI CANUCK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The fact that you support Jack, and Harper shows how little you understand. They are opposing views. You are voting for your views being represented. You clearly seem to think, we are voting for which candidate you like best. NO! The views of the NDP could not be any more opposite! The Globe and Mail was correct when they said the people who voted for Harper had really no idea about politics, and just voted because they liked a candidate more.

The Situation Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It was a CONSERVATIVE (well sort of) prime minister, Diefenbaker who ended the Avro Arrow program. We probably would have our own fighter jets right now and wouldn't be in this mess if the Conservatives didn't end the program. Lets blame the Conservatives for the end of Avro!
