Canada: Election 2015

[Gaia]

The race for the keys to 24 Sussex Drive began...

With exactly three months to go until E-day.

The three main parties :

Conservatives, NDP and Liberals scatter from Ottawa in a field that has taken on a new complexion.

The race for the keys to 24 Sussex Drive began, of course, many months ago if indeed it ever ended after the May 2011 election that finally gave Prime Minister Stephen Harper his majority Conservative governement.... The 2011 election did not ''give'' Harper a majority it was achieved through electoral f..... It would be helpful in Canada if the media would actually report facts, even disputed facts, instead of just parroting the latest line from the PMO.

Fyi Stephen Harper won’t take part in the traditional televised leaders’ debates during the upcoming election...

Perfect

Leave Harper out of all debates. The other parties can get their message out while explaining to Canadians about their platforms. They can also point out all the disastrous policies Harper has put in place. They can tell the truth about the economy and the $160 billions Harper has run up in Federal debt since he took office. They could debate Harper for his corporate agenda, Bill C-51, his attacks against veterans, seniors, scientists, education, the Supreme Court, the Charter of Rights and the Constitution. It would put Harper on the defensive for the entire election while pointing out Harper's cowardice and his arrogance by not showing up.

Harper’s record of abuse and assault on democracy and rights in Canada is long and well documented.

Time to move on... Canada doesn't need Harper and his archaic irrelevant party. I want to vote to avoid this from ever happening to Canada again.

With the election approaching I want to hear from you Canadians.

You, I and other we should put ourselves on the NPD list of candidate and go to Ottawa. We could not do worst for sure. Most probably we would do better, even if it was just to slow down the main mise on the country and its people.

If young people had turned out to vote in the same numbers as the population overall in 2011, research suggests they would have changed not just the outcome of the election but the tone and content of the political debate.

Just over 60 per cent of eligible voters actually cast ballots in 2011. Among those under 30, fewer than 40 per cent bothered to vote. And this is part of the Harper Conservative agenda! Politicians necessarily target their messages at those who do vote and as long as the majority of young people don't vote, their tastes are not going to be catered to.

Can we you and me reverse the trend? The response is ''Yes'' Change the message and the messenger, and you can overcome the apathy that keeps so many people away from the polls.

Well that is indeed needed, but my issue is who do we have to replace him? I don't trust liberals either, and NDP tend to try to solve problems by just spending more money. More and more I am starting to feel like our system is just like the US ... one control point with different faces (parties). What Canadians need to do is constantly remind politicians, regardless of party, that this country is ours, they work for us and our future generations, put them back in their place for the weasel's they are recognized as, and at every turn when they try to obey their "masters", remind them that we understand what is happening and will not tolerate it while we pay them to serve US. Of course to do that we still need to "wake up" the masses more ... unfortunately ...

I absolutely agree with you. Wake up, sheeple!... The metaphor of sheep standing for the clueless public believing everything their political masters told them.

Hello Everyone:
There has been alot of talk about Harper BUT he does have a majority government that needs to at least be put into a minority government. Harper is a dictator! Even kids in grade 8 in the usa understand this!

As far as the federal debt is concerned I have tried to find out what it's at for sometime and the lady that is the president of the Canadian small business association I think it's called was talking on the roy green talk show last week. She said the federal debt is 1.2 - 1.3 trillion. The liberals gave the pc's a federal debt of 600 billion.
Up until mulroney and paul martin, Canada borrowed money from the bank of Canada for ZERO INTEREST. Through these 2 fellas they changed the law to make borrowing money through banks the way to go. Interest is in the billions from what I understand of the federal debt by borrowing from banks and not the bank of Canada for zero interest.

We don't even hear about the Canadian Government anymore. All we hear about is the harper government. It's not anyones government except the people of Canada.
It's time everyone says NO to harper and his cronies.

From living alot longer than some I have come to the conclusion that the ndp are not worth putting into office anywhere....federally or provincially.
I think in my opinion the least to continue destroying a GREAT COUNTRY such as CANADA is the liberals even though I am not a fan of liberals, conservations, ndp, green party etc.
There is NO ONE that is up for the job of being a leader since all of them voted for bill C-51. That kinda shows what we have....it's called collusion!
If anyone here wants a high paying job and travel the world then please put your hat in the ring for prime minister of Canada.

Green Party and Elizabeth May.................

When their election promises fail just like the Conservative, Liberals and NDP maybe the citizens of this country would truly wake up and band together to rid ourselves of governing entities that work for the Global Controllers, Corporations, Oligarch's. etc versus the PEOPLE>>>>>>>>> Something has got to shake the population up soon!!

May the green rainbow hue of clean energy ideas lead Canada to a reality President that will actually steward planet Earth again.
Ever since the CONservacorpRepublicans, got in the destruction of the planet can be seen from plane travelers.

"How can the stripping of the lungs/trees from the planet, be the right thing for our air's future?

[Lifebringer]

I'm checking her out now, we had a Green candidate in VA last state election, they never quit when the planet and middle class pocket is in a strangle hold. Great allies for Bernie who's very often spoken on the destruction of Earth, especially fracking.

To hear Bernie I think they are posting his run for President on You Tube, the Wisconsin was the kick-off and Bernie's running the issues first concerning dis-effected Republicans that insult the heritage of the party by hating instead of solving. We've got to move beyond old people's plans for future distractive division, and start "our" future by hiring people with our best interest/voters front and center. We all know the countries that have the Bush/ISIS terrorist caising trouble, but that cannot take presidence over correction our corruption in our political chambers of laws for or, (in this case) against us. "The real buck stops with us."

Mulcair and NDP leadership supported Israel's war against Gaza last summer. They also fully supported the Harper governement in supporting the coup orchestrated by the United States to Ukraine and the deployment of Canadian troops through provocative maneuvers of NATO near the Russian border.

The Liberals are badly perceived in public opinion because their position regarding the draconian Bill C-51 the Conservative governement. Presented as an anti-terrorist measure , the law gives vast new powers, including the possibility for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to break with mostly legally when it comes to interfere with groups perceived as a threat to the economic or national security of Canada. While the Liberals claim to oppose many aspects of Bill C-51 , they voted in favor.

Could you clarify your question about the French mandate Lucidity ?

[Lifebringer]

Have you told her of this newer cleaner easy to assemble obs producing technology, yet? I think it would be great for Canada, in the event of ices age or drought.

I took the initiative to spread the word, if you don't mind. I "really" think this needs nations support.

PS "Especially in OUR hemishere. Mexico can power their country create jobs and end so very many hopeless citizens with no income, to finally have something to stay home and build for their children's future, and not be so destitute. I always say don't put a band aid on a nasty cut. Clean it and apply pressure first." Creating jobs in the country with the most crossing is a win-win, yes? They wouldn't have to go so far or take drug runs if they had a job, just check all parts/products, coming in and out of the country for contraband.(more jobs)

If Amazon can check w/computers, so can our "random" inspectors.

The Canadian people are asleep, because too engaged by their own personal setbacks ; The employment situation in the country, over-indebtedness etc. The mainstream media are doing everything to keep this whimsical state.

Good to hear from you Sandy

Gaia, thanks for your comments regarding the Harper regime. This one man has destroyed this country. Never in my life have I seen a political figure in Canada do so much damage to the country and its people. Having followed the politics of this so called conservative party under Harper makes me ashamed of how the image of Canada has become so sullied.
Harper is a sociopath, should he win the next election due to apathy of the Canadian public not voting, he will continue to destroy our country even more. I hope by now Canadians young and old WAKE UP!!! and see what has been done to Canada.

[drgreig]

As for the rest of the (unenlightened/sleeping) people of Canada, one thing for sure is that Harper is the evil they all know and trust to be the dictator that he is. And regardless of the damage, Canada still floats under Harper's rule.

Thomas Mulcair and his NDP party are in the most advantageous position they've ever been in...especially after the victory of (ultra-conservative) Alberta. But, he is the evil we don't know...seeing as NDP has NEVER been the party in power, this has always contributed to voter hesitation.

Justin Trudeau is simply too young and inexperienced...and is nothing more than an example of what having a former PM as a father is like, and where that can get you career-wise.

It is now how it's always been: You've got a limited selection of losers to choose from. As always, the ones that gravitate to party-leadership status, are the ones that will happily play ball with the world banks and elevate the priorities of the cabal above those of their own country.

The Green Party under Elizabeth May is the ONLY hopeful for a better Canada...therefore we have all been conditioned to render her and her party as the "laughing stock" of them all. Pity.

I wish Bernie Sanders was a Canadian...he's got my vote already

I really am ashamed to admit to being a Canadian since Harper became prime minister.

Do you remember? I do... The most memorable moment in the last throne speech came when a young woman walked into the centre of the plush red Senate chamber filled with dignitaries and elected officials and held up a handmade sign that read "Stop Harper."

Brigette DePape, who had worked as a page in the Senate for a year, was then quickly hauled away by the House of Commons' sergeant-at-arms. If more Canadians had her courage (and sense of timing) we would live in a better country.

''Justin Trudeau is simply too young and inexperienced... ''


Maybe Trudeau is growing into the job, perhaps he has pretty good policy advisors and campaign strategists… but at least, it is an alternative to the hard-edge cold dictatorship we’ve endured under Harper. One thing is already abundantly clear… those of us who have not yet decided will have very clear choices this time around … and our votes will be the most critical.
