Canada makes a wise choice

[For Us All]

It seemed quite lengthy, certainly I only remember it fading around the time of the WMD hunt and subsequent invasion of Iraq. That period was quite an optimistic time, as I recall.

 

Let's hope that if the Chilcott Enquiry is ever published,the real truth comes out?

Congratulations to the Liberal party for booting out right-wing American puppet and huge scumbag Steven Harper in the Canadian General election on a very left-wing programme that includes legalising marijuana, higher taxes for the megarich and borrowing to invest.

 

It proves people can be decent and honest when presented with facts properly, and augers well for other countries, well done Mr Trudeau.

 

You cant seriously believe that left wing = decent and honest centre right = nasty do you?

 

I cant believe any intelligent person could think that theory stands up (see what I did there);)

 

How about left wing = controlling and anti-freedom of choice

 

I have relatives in Canada, I have been there twice. Its a nice country and the people are great, less in your face than the yanks, I just hope the lefties dont take all their choices away from them now they have a left wing dictator.

Only 39% of the vote yet a majority of seats.....why aren't people slamming his election as undemocratic?

 

He'll be judged on his achievements not on his election success..best of luck to him and Canada..whoever is in govt one has to hope it goes well for the people there.

Dictator - you naïve, silly person, if you see Trudeau as that, you really have problems.

 

Another dose of Harper and maybe the 'nice country' with great people would have been irrevocably damaged, and that is also the opinion of my people in Canada as well.

 

Harper is not 'centre-right' he is an extremist with US republican views that have never had a place in Canada and was threatening the stability, traditions and legacy of a great country, better he has been removed and hopefully he can fade away somewhere or better still travel south.

Trust you to come in and attempt to spoil a decent thread by muddying the waters and going off at a tangent. You're a hypocrital moral bankrupt if you make that point as you wouldn't say it about your darling Conservative party here, or virtually any winning party in an election outside Zimbabwe (ie in most countries) don't get 50 per cent or more of the votes very often.

 

So people aren't saying undemocratic because this time they haven't been taken in by you, tough luck.

 

And no one was 'judging' him on the election success, just congratulating him, but then changing other people's words and meaning has always been one of your strong points hasn't it ?

Enjoyed visiting Toronto, Niagara and Vancouver a few years back,,met some lovely people and saw some fantastic scenery

 

Like all opposition he can promise the earth and enough people have believed him to bet elected..hopefully he delivers and makes life better for Canadians but I suspect much of this was driven by a desire for change rather than belief in him and his policies.

Much like most Western democracies then JA.

There's one thing that Canada and Canadians should keep and that's their bleedin' weather!!! Nothing good weather wise comes out of Canada.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Indeed

In your opinion.

 

Will it last though, I'm not so sure and neither are my family members who live out there?

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

That does sound promising. Maybe, just maybe, something similar could happen over here...

 

Labour need to find a suitable leader first ;)

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Indeed. They gave us Randy Samuel and poor old Oliver Heald.

 

Once received a proper man hug from Randy Samuel, possibly the happiest footballer of all time!

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Remarkable isn't it...Conservatives win UK election using FPTP system and the usual subjects are out going on about how unfair it is but when a party they are sympathetic to wins via the same system...not a peep. Hypocricy of the highest order

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Judging this election result as a wise choice depends on how well they do in govt..it's only a wise choice if they make things better for Canadians

Personal insults from you nice lefties is expected, I wont be lowering myself.

 

You have ignored my point as usual. You are still peddling the left wing = decent and nice centre right is nasty myth, its prejudice pure and simple.

 

I dont think Harper is an extremist thats overstating things.

 

Every left wing person I have ever met/listened to or debated with has basically been a dictator at heart, if they dont like something they try to ban it if they cant ban it they find some other way to force people to act as they want, sounds like a dictatorship to me.

 

Freedom of choice is always low on the agenda.

 

Left wing governments are just as unfair as right wing ones its just a different group of people who are adversely effected.
