Justin Trudeau wins big Liberal leadership vote. Trudeaumania Part 2 begins.

Do you actually believe there isn t corporate sponsorship? legal and illegal?

Freewheat, what is the difference you are saying don t subsidize the parties because they should make it on their own. When one party gets so big money wise is there a democracy when we know advertising etc. plays such a roll in peoples voting?

And on your farm, you say you don t like subsidies for political parties, but yet on here for your farm you have said that you love your crap insurance coverage, you know its subsidized heavily. Is it only good to subsidize when it works for you?

Those subsidies help you compete in the big global game. Would you have survived without that subsidy?

mulcair.

It is EXTREMELY vulgar.You have been warned.

Riders, believe me when I say this: I appreciate crop insurance, I do
not love it. I would appreciate it more, if I paid the whole premium. I
strongly oppose subsidies. But with CI, it is there, and until such
point there is no subsidized premiums, I will use it. If I never had
crop insurance, it would have been tough in these unseeded years to
have pulled through, sure. But I am a frugal young nut, I would have
found a way. I am really, really. frugal.

Regarding political funding: It is illegal for anyone to donate more
than I think 1100 dollars in a single year. If corporate donations are
going on, it is illegal, and if big oil was funding the cons, the ndp
would be tying their knickers in knots to bring it to the attention of
the CBC. If, as the left always complains, the conservatives have a
minority of votes, yet have a majority of the seats, and collect the
most money from people, perhaps they could look at their policies or
lack of policy. If they had good ideas, people would give.

Again though, leftists are not as giving charitably as conservatives
are, this is just the way it is. If a conservative believes in a cause,
pay attention, that cause will get funded. If a liberal believes in a
cause, they are often too selfish to give.

Just the way it is for some reason.

Governing parties get more donations
because it is them that dish out
contracts.Good governments have to have
good oppositions. And a political
correction every few years is also
healthy.

[LEP]

The conservatives collect more than all the other
parties combined and always have under this
system.

I agree a change once in awhile is good, however
I believe Harper won't run in the next election.

A change of leader can give the feel of renewal.

I predict another conservative government in the
next election.

[blackpowder]

sounds like some of you will eventually get the
government you deserve!
it's said that without death there can be no change.
I'm kinda glad I'll be dead someday so as not put up
with the shitshow that's obviously coming.
The Canada I know: trudeau is from a very foreign
land.
Heil the new prince!

Guess the same card has been played too
many times . Poll by EKOS results. 84%
said they were negative ads...71% said had
no effect on views....16% said improved
views on Trudeau. And 9% said said a
negative effect on the Conservatives..

Cotton: Where do you find that stuff???
