inane Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I love how everyone is like 'omg he lied' like every politician before them hasn't? Yes, this is mostly because of Harper but who cares, we keep doing this to ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 1 hour ago, ForsbergTheGreat said: That seems to be the trend. Instead of talking about their own issues the most common defense by the liberal and NDP is to defer the issue to a past issue of the cons. Guess what cons are no longer in power. They are no longer the ones up for question. It has nothing to do with what they did in the past and has all to do with what they are currently doing. Reporter "notley what is the purpose of Bill (insert) and how do you plan to make sure it's properly implemented" Notley "well the conservatives spent money on (insert) one time" It's very childish. It's like when a kid gets in trouble and he used the. "But billy did this" excuse. Its funny. The one post with a unhappy comment about Justin is followed up with two defenders with the "but Harper did this". Who cares hapers not in power anymore he's not the one in question Actually, I am not entirely saying Harper did this. I am simply stating there is little difference and am in no way entirely letting junior off the hook. You need the comparison to be fair. Junior is doing the same yes, but at least he is being open honest and transparent about it while doing exactly what he said he was going to do I am just happy it is being done so openly and really hoping ti is done with substance instead of just spending money to spend money. I want more than words and signs every 20 feet. I want a solid investment in the future of this country for the grief it is going to cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Oh the hypocrisy!! Harper and his regime deflected from questions by referring to the liberals the entire time they were in power. Not just a few months after, but for the entire 10 years they were in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good responses everyone, it really discusses the "current" issue.. ha, It's like a couple of preschooler discussing why they were eating the crayons.."Billy ate more than I did"... kind of pathetic actually.

And gender quota in the cabinet? That's already a dead issue. You know women are just as qualified as men for these jobs, right? If you look at all the appointments, you can't find any problems with any of their qualifications. Lol JT has handed out a ton of money just none of it was in Canada.

So did you whine this much when the Harper gov't did this for 10 years? They never gave a straight answer the entire time they were in office. At least Trudeau's gov't answers their critics. That is the point I was making. You whining about what Trudeau supporters are doing even though the Harper gov't did it as a matter of course the entire time they were in office is absolute hypocrisy. Did you even once complain about the Conservatives refusing to answer a straight question the entire time they were in office, ever? I very much doubt it! Yet here you are whining about the Liberals after a few months. You can deflect from the hypocrisy all you want, but it is still hypocrisy.

It's a nice sentiment but as much as you may like to compartmentalize all of this and 'like, live in the now maaaan', the past does affect the present. Evidently JT's plan is to invest in the country in the present as a response to that past and it's effects on the present.

So it's at least business as usual. Also worth noting that EU nations all abstained. A lot of things shouldn't be celebrated, but it's not up to you to decide. Freedom means we allow people to express themselves regardless how despicable the opinion may be. We have laws against hate speech already. More than that, by preventing people from speaking their thoughts we prevent ourselves from disassociating from such elements. Let people have the proverbial rope. Agreed. It was a slam dunk that the US was going to vote against something that restricts the First Amendment and although free speech is somewhat more limited in Canada than it is in the US, it doesn't surprise me that we would vote against it as well. As you say, we already have laws against hate speech. It was also a pretty safe bet that the Ukraine was going to vote against any resolution put forth by the Russians.

Neversummer Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Is Trudeau and the Liberals still getting free pass? In the election, they promised to cap deficit at $10B. The Liberals promised in their election platform to cap deficits at $10 billion – a figure they’ll now blow past – and to balance the books by 2019-20, something Morneau says “may take a little longer than we expected” due to economic volatility. Instead, finance officials said Monday that the deficit is expected to be at least $2.3 billion in the current fiscal year, $18.4 billion in 2016-17 and $15.5 billion in 2017-18 — far above the projections laid out by the Liberals last November.

Id say 12-1 ratio, as long as the company has a phone registered in canada that connects them to India they are canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
