Stephen Harper as Prime Minister

[steven lloyd]

… after five years, he's [Harper] figured out that Canadians don't really care about his personal views - as long as he runs the country, more or less, like a Liberal.

I think I would move Iggy to first place, SL.

No one can take first place away from the Don.
He transcends both ideology and politics to reach untold heights of embarrassing us.

Okay. Iggy can have 2nd place then?

How about we have 2 (a) and 2 (b) for Taliban Jack and Iggiot?

I'll give 1st place to the collective union leaders in this country, and move Cherry down a few rungs. Cherry does no real damage to Canada as a talking head for the CBC (Cherry's rants about head shots on Saturday night don't cost us a single job), whereas these union leaders do nothing but stiffle Canada's ability to compete in a global marketplace.

Too bad the OP can't see past his "feelings" and understand what Canada needs most. It certainly isn't stiffling Cherry from barking about non-issues, instead, we should be bringing business to Canada through economic reform, which should start with decertifying the country.

I have been watching harpers pre-election television commercials.

and he truly believes, ............ he is the second coming..............

The only reason he is Prime Minister is because of a split vote and hopefully he will never receive a majority government.

but he is willing to spend more taxpayers money this spring, for another try at it

[Bagotricks]

I always got a kick out of the "I would do better if I had a majority " sentiment.

Its like he blames "the rest of Canada" for not voting for him, because he cant do what he wants ( which is the best thing to do in his mind ) in a minority government.

So Canada - its YOUR fault he isnt as good as a PM as he think he could be.

it's actually Quebec's fault - only in Canada would be tolerate a province electing a party dedicated to sucession, and then continue to pay the MP's of that party from Federal coffers, as well as continue to pour in billions per year into that province to support their largesse of social programs. Only in Canada would be continue to subsidize a province where it is illegal to display a sign in one of our official languages. And you can bet if Alberta ever elected a slate of separatists to Ottawa the liberal elitist press would be all over it with calls of "red necks want to separate" etc. Only Alberta has legitimate economic reasons for separating, while Quebec is just all politics and BS.

Last time I checked you are responsible for your own actions, and failures.

Not other people, or other "provinces"

what??? A known lefty is espousing personal responsibility? What? The ideology of personal responsibility rather than blaming the government for all of our failures is core to a libertarian - and diametrically opposed to almost everything else you've ever posted on these forums Bago - amazing!! Maybe we're not a universe apart in terms of ideologies after all.

All right - yes - point conceded Bago - it is definitely all of our faults individually for letting Quebec get away with this BS they are pulling with the BQ party. We should put a stop to it right now - step one - stop paying any BQ MP's, stop paying for their support staff, stop paying for their giant expense budgets for their lavish world-wide trips, and stop allowing them to vote on any legislation that is not Quebec related. And finally - stop with the transfer payments to Quebec until they get their financial house in order. You and me Bago - it's a start anyway. This personal responsiblity thing is pretty awesome isn't it?

Is it even possible to come up with a more erroneous and simplistically naive statement ?

So are the Taliban Jacks of Canada who thirst for the unattainable. Thank goodness the closest they will get is an office next to the janitors closet on parliament hill. Jacks so ready he has already launched his nation wide sightseeing tour of union halls to solidify his support with Canada's economic moochers.

Each election he is awarded more seats by Canadians. He is only a few seats away from his destiny - a majority.

The NDP or Jack Layton have nothing to do with the Taliban. Nothing at all. You might as well call him "Pedophile" Jack if it suits your mood of slander.

Keep your crazy to yourself.

There is a congresswoman in Arizona with a hole in her head, and statements like yours contribute to that sort of crazy.

Please don't have a spazz attack. The following is to help you understand how Taliban Jack earned his fitting nickname.

A year ago Jack Layton suggested it might be an idea to negotiate with the Taliban. For his trouble, he was branded "Taliban Jack," accused of betraying his party's supposed commitment to human rights and mocked for his naive worldview. It was widely assessed he had made it a lot more difficult to take his party seriously.

Sidelined again, his party stuck in the same mid-teens doldrums it's been in since the last election, Jack Layton cannot be a very happy man these days.

The congresswoman that you are trying to irresponsibly insert into the thread has a name - Gabrielle Giffords.

Your perpetuating slander that suits your needs and political beliefs. Negotiation is not something to be frowned upon.

. Negotiation is not something to be frowned upon.

Neville Chamberlain espoused such views as well.

Oh Bago - I had such high hopes for you having a break-through there when you got on your personal responsibility soap box a few posts ago...sigh...

So what do you suppose we do?

The Russians lost in Afghanistan. Take a hint.
