Now that the 2011 election is over, let's use this thread to discuss Canadian politics as they transpire over the next 4 years.
Please keep the discussion civil and I kindly request no personal attacks or insults directed towards fellow ehMac members.
It would be refreshing to avoid over-the-top hyperbole as well. We're all Canadians and lets not make people out to be left-wing or right-wing caricatures or turn things into a WWE fight promo.
I may not be a supporter of Prime Minster Harper, but he does endorse ehMac.ca.
^ Picture I took on a nice trip to Ottawa this past winter.
LOL... despite the ongoing shenanigans of my work place, I am enjoying this particular juncture of the space/time continuum as well. Have a nice Sunday Max, I think it is going to be a beautiful day out your way if the forecast I heard comes to pass.
Best Contempt of Parliament Ever!
Speaker of Canadian Senate holds DePape in "Contempt of Parliament" – the
same thing Stephen Harper's government was charged with for lying to
and concealing information from parliament
Really Michael Moore.... like there is no agenda or self interest there....
Quite frankly she is getting her "15 minutes" that she sought and in the annals of history her actions will rank right up there with the streaker who ran across the stage at the Academy Awards while David Niven was speaking... and truth be told they are pretty much the same in terms of content. They both are meaningless, but they both provide momentary titillation.

I'm just lovin seeing cons trip over themselves asserting how meaningless this all really is.
No better than a streaker. Just love it.
Regardless of where you sit on this, you can't deny it made an impact. The reactions out there, in particular the ones against it, seem to be the most passionate.
True enough... it is speculation on my part but I would be willing to weigh odds... I hope to be here for at least another thirty years. Care to take a bet so far out...?
Just 61% of Eligible Canadian Voters DID
Vote, and Just 40% of That 61% Voted Conservative
"Contrary to Harper's rhetoric, Conservative values are not in fact Canadian
values. How could they be when 3 out of 4 eligible voters didn't even give
their support to the Conservatives?" – DePape
sure, it absolutely should have. The conservatives will argue that those who didn't vote didn't because they were fine with the results (fuzzy at best) and the others the opposite. On it goes. The truth is, neither of them ever truly have any kind of a mandate really, it's all just a chess game to get their chance at the almighty money trough and there'll be a lot of buddies to pay off.
Whatever happened to those who stood against the golden pensions? The outright raping of our tax dollars?
Thanks. Much better than stating over and over that no government has a mandate, therefore it had better kowtow to the people who spent their votes on the little orange tsunami.

There was an article in yesterday's paper about growing tomato plants upside down. Zing! Those upside down tomato plants are sure getting their day in the sun. Some people are passionate about those tomato plants.
jump to 1:55, where you can hear Mr Harper in his own words say that if he was PM he would appoint a committee to look in to electoral reform and put the options in a referendum for the nation to decide.
Mr. Harper you have been PM for over 5 years. Where is our referendum on election reform???

Hemp legalization is very important to a vocal group of Canadians.
