Warhippy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 the democrats in the usa has failed terribly and also disagree with most of their party platform. if you want proof read http://rightwingnews.com/democrats/ted-cruz-releases-list-of-72-lawless-actions-by-barack-hussein-obama/about obamas lawless acts. NDP is a socialist party and our fore fathers would not be happy if we elected them. Canada was supposed to be the land of the free, dreamers, 2nd chance at life and work to get a good life. Nothing should be given to you, you should work to get benefits. The provinces with ndp or who had ndp all suffer during their reign. the liberals I wouldn't mind but their history of spending and Trudeau saying a budget balances it selfs really scares me. Also I am against legalization of weed the Conservatives represent most of my values and I want the farthest thing of communists running this country I love. just my 2 cents right wing news....mmhmm I recall a story they did backing up FOX when they said that Obama and his wife were terrorists. Said they had proof. That got retracted pretty quickly. Totally impartial and obviously believable. But then hey if you don't like socialism...why do you agree with giving corporations or the energy sector so much welfare and handouts? Or why do you use our schools hospitals libraries community centers ambulance fire police services mail deliveries highways sewers and so much more Because at days end, canada is very much a socialist country. But I am also a very Conservative person, i also enjoy Conservative values but this government is NOT Conservative. in anything but name. If you truly believe they represent the conservative minded people of this country I have some sad news for you. As well...lol communists....really? grow up pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's akin to a liberal putting up a link to moveon.org in order to "prove" that Republicans are bad. Both sites are horribly biased and full of their chosen party's propaganda and as such neither can be trusted as news sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 he isn't prefect but again you are arguing against the person and not the claims he has made against obama. anyway back to canada. I doubt a majority will happen again for a long time I don't need to argue against his claims. Multiple news media outlets including FOX News (yes even FOX) have found his claims to be less than credible. The Republican party distanced themselves immediately after he was found to be baseless and fabricating his claims. Then the Tea Partiers actively turned their backs on him as well. When both the GOP and the Tea Party turn their backs on you there is a problem. http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/227064-senate-rebukes-cruzs-claims-of-unconstitutional-immigration-order http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121499/ted-cruz-wrongly-claims-obamacare-destroyed-more-jobs-it-created http://www.factcheck.org/2014/11/obama-and-cruz-clash-on-immigration/ http://swampland.time.com/2013/08/08/why-ted-cruz-thinks-the-media-gets-conservatism-wrong/ Just the tip of the iceberg really.

Warhippy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 More experts weighing in on Harpers claims of economic superiority. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/some-hard-numbers-from-harpers-soft-economy/article25817790/ A study was released a few days ago, looking into how the economic performance of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives stacks up against other Canadian governments since the Second World War. It didn’t get much attention because it was done by labour-union economists, who don’t normally get much traction in the mainstream news media. But this one is certainly worth a look. Its author, Unifor’s Jim Stanford, is no slouch. The study has the appearance of a thorough statistical analysis, and it addresses an important question in the election campaign. Mr. Harper’s government will argue that while the economy has certainly hit the skids this year, its overall record of economic management since coming to power in 2006 has been impressive. Opponents will argue the opposite. The study thoroughly debunks the Conservatives’ claim. Having examined 16 economic indicators with extensive data for each, the report concludes that the Conservatives have the worst record of all our governments in the postwar years. “The Harper government ranked last or second last in 13 of the 16 indicators,” said Mr. Stanford, who did the study with economist Jordan Brennan. Opposition parties have made hay of the fact that the Conservatives have the worst average GDP growth over a 10-year stretch than any other government since the 1930s. But this report, which ranks Lester Pearson’s government as the most economically successful in the period examined, will give them much more ammunition to work with. Out of nine governments studied – it didn’t include governments like John Turner’s, that lasted less than a year – the Harper government finished last in job creation, last in exports, seventh in government debt, second last in personal income growth per capita, in business investment, in youth employment. All indicators were measured using annual data from 1946 through 2014, as obtained from Statistics Canada and other public sources. The study didn’t look at criteria more favourable to the government, such as household wealth. It doesn’t include progress on trade agreements, an area where the Conservatives have fared well, despite the recent breakdown of talks on a Trans-Pacific Partnership. But these additions wouldn’t tilt the overall balance of a pretty grim picture. The government says its bad numbers are primarily a result of the global financial crisis. But that ended several years ago, and was more lightly felt in Canada due to pre-existing strong economic fundamentals. Moreover, according to Mr. Stanford, many other governments examined in the study faced unexpected crises and financial shocks, such as the stagflation of the 1970s and the 9/11 calamity. Mr. Stanford argues that some of this government’s poor record flows from an unnecessary push for austerity after the 2008 recession in order to balance the budget. It’s a view shared by many economists, who say the balanced-budget fixation has contributed to lower growth than we might otherwise have seen. The Bank of Canada has been recently going one way with rate cuts in an attempt to boost growth, while the Conservatives have been going the other, holding the line on spending to achieve their cherished balanced-budget goal. That goal seems very much in jeopardy. Mr. Stanford says the government’s tax cutting, which favours mainly the wealthier segments, has not resulted in the economic boost the Conservatives had hoped for. While the U.S. economy is moving ahead strongly, Canada’s is not catching on, he says. Investment from the private sector didn’t materialize; trickle-down economics hasn’t worked. The Conservatives will argue that labour’s bias against them makes Mr. Stanford’s report unreliable. But there’s a lot of hard statistical data in it that makes it difficult to refute. For many years, the Conservatives have benefited from their highly effective communications machinery in selling Canadians on the idea that their economy was doing better than others through the big downturn. That was a true for a period. But it didn’t reflect many of the problems Canada was encountering. A different picture is coming into focus now – at a very difficult moment on the political calendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz is the worst candidate in the Republican race. Neither of us wants to write a long essay on an article. It's incredibly tedious. Contrary to what you believe, news organization's political leanings play a major part in the credibility of it's stories. Go to moveon.org and you'll see the polar opposite of everything that's on Right Wing News. Both sites are ridiculous and shouldn't be trusted to report news accurately.
