    2008 Federal Election: GTA Voting Patterns

    I guess I'm not a fan of Kennedy's personality then. He definitely had name recognition but Nash was a very popular MP in the area. I am not happy in any way about her defeat.

    2008 Federal Election: GTA Voting Patterns

    I'm devasted that Peggy Nash wasn't returned. Kennedy could be 'blamed' for the state of the current Liberal leadership, after all, he threw his support to Dion's camp during the last Liberal leadership race, had he thrown his support behind Bob Rae, Rae would have been Liberal leader now and...

    2008 Federal Election: - Predictions for Toronto Area Constituencies

    People hold those (quite ingenious) Rae Days against him, after all these years and after it benefitted them and their families!!! People were mad with Rae because he implemented some upaid days off for public servants to get out of debt which was left to him by the previous government. Again...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    It is time for electoral reform Check it out how the exact same votes for each party would have turned out had we proportional representation: Conservatives: 38% of the popular vote, 117 seats (not 143) Liberals: 26% of the popular vote, 81 seats (not 76) NDP: 18% of the popular vote, 57...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    It may be, right this instant, unfortunately that Canadians don't see the environment and the economy as one and the same, but I sense a paradigm shift in our very near future. I will tell you this, Canadians have a LOT of experience administering taxes, we clearly know how to do this. The...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Yo KeithZ, it's not just my take. Oh and FYI we don't have any failing banks in Canada. CIBC had some exposure to the sub=prime housing market in the states but that's pretty much it. please stop watching CNN and be Canadian plz. Yes there's currently some manufacturing job losses but if we...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    The economy and the environment are one and the same. If we keep on growing and growing our economy as everyone so wants us to, the environment cannot sustain the ravages of unbridled economic growth! They are not two different issues.

    2008 Federal Election: - Predictions for Toronto Area Constituencies

    Ignatieff is taking a lot of flack because he hasn't lived in Canada for 30 years!!! Bob Rae (not Igantieff) would have creamed Harper in the english debates had he been elected liberal leader, this is a certainty. It still may happen someday in the future.....you never know.

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    That would be an excellent outcome as well. I'm curious to see if Elizabeth May is able to defeat Peter McKay in the Nova Scotia riding, if she can achieve that, it should be front page news. To unseat a minister is HUGE!!! I wonder if it will happen! I guess we'll see tonight.

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Yes! This would be very good! The the Cons would be bound to also de-throne Harper as head of their party as well.

    Twenty Gothic (High Park, Monarch, 8s, &Co)

    The 20 Gothic Building is a blight. Yes we need more condensed living space close to public transit (as opposed to rampant urban sprawl) , but it is a shame this monstrosity was built there. The whole thing stinks. Originally it was supposed to be built between two existing apartments on...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Then they shouldn't be considering Harper since he is an extremist from the far-right! Economy: we're in uncharted waters regarding the global economy, but clearly the economy is tied to the environment and any government we elect should be making concerted efforts to shift manufacturing...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Hydrogen, on that point re-read what I wrote: that there is funding for building new fancy buildings such as the ROM, the AGO etc (that politicians can take credit for) but there is no money for infrastructure within the institutions!

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Mr. HARPER: I ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE Well, let me see, you want specifics as to why Harper is bad for me as a Canadian, here are a few that come to mind. Just off the top of my head: 1) The current outbreak of listeriosis is a direct consequence of Harper's deregulation of...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    What baffles me the most about this Albertan support for Harper is that not only is it decimating the environment but the oil from the tar sands goes directly to the Americans, it's US oil companies mining there, not Canadian ones, Albertans have been brainwashed into thinking it's good for...

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    I know, but the Liberals, NDP, Bloc & Green have been denouncing Harper saying he's unfit to govern Canada throughout this campaign, if they truly believed that, then they should stop at nothing to patch up their differences temporarily just to ensure he will not be PM in the event of a Tory...
