Canadian Politics

[CGM]

I actually thought that was funny if not on subject.

takes all kinds. no probs bud It's all just a bad human infomercial.

Yes it is a bad infomercial...and one you became apart of when you begin spreading its rhetoric.

Now you see, this is the curious part. Here you are, old...I'm guessing likely really old, and I too feel you have little of value to say with remarks like that.

Much the same way the americans were just now fighting/electing in Georgia, for that senate seat to not give away the majority to the Dems. and keep the ability to filibuster, so too in Canada things work.

Do they work the same? Not entirely, but also not so completely differently. And because the conservatives are a minority government, so too they are limited. And by limited, I mean legally by our government based law...succeptable to be taken over by the majority if the ranks of other parties so chose to join and become it.

I hope it happens.

That better, chief?

My bad. I wasn't referring to politics when I used the term bad human infomercial. Nor was i referring to anyone else in the thread in any meaningful way, any more than I was referring to myself. It was a facetious remark that may or may not have had specific inside meaning to the person I was addressing at that time. I guess that sort of thing is not advisable in a public discussion on politics.

As for my remark to you, I gues it wasn't the most diplomatic, but you see a lot worse in parliament every day.

Yea true CGM. I meant to type 'human', but often have quicker hands then brain. I don't mind a bit of a jest now and again. Preferably kept in context and form and not to be continued as a vengeful thing. In short, I like to argue and hold no ill will. When it comes to shots at my age, I am equipped for immediate response by way of instint.

Dude...I am the voice of your countries future.

You of it's present and past. We should, I think, atleast listen to it for what it is.

It used to be, long long ago when I was young , that Canada had a very good reputation internationally, as peacekeepers, as well as for being impartial in international disputes. This reputation existed in Arab nations and elsewhere. I am no longer confident that this is the case.

I'm absolutely certain that, unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

I still think we are largely seen by the world as peace keepers.

I think we have been mocked regarding it by our southern friends, not all, but some. And still will be. I was on the internet for the years after the invason of Iraq, and I remember the sentiments of the right. It was my first introduction to political opinion through this medium.

And if because we are in Afghanistan and fighting for what the agenda was then, to root out Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden...and are now seen as infidels for it by that part of the world which opposes it, let the chips fall where they may. I personally believe in the cause.

Point taken on Afghanistan. Other points where our rep has suffered among Arab Nations in recent years is our stance against groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, In canada their fund raising activities have been banned in recent years because we have sided with the US and Israel in labelling them terrorist organizations. I am not sure how people look at our involvement in the former Yugoslavia, where we sided with the US without UN authorization.
