Do you think it izzy to get revenue neutered?

She thinks that it is all right for her to write this kind of crap and then say she is a journalist and that she never ment what she said?
send her to prince george to be burned at the stake!!!!!
Beeeeoch, typical lieberal girl

Well as the campaign manager for Dick Harris, Conservative MP,here in Cariboo-Prince George B.C., it gets weirder (if I can be so bold)as Drew and his party (the one he didnt like in July)attacke Bev Collins because of all the things her being a 9/11 theorist Not news,from her rabid anti-Americanism, demonstrated during her tenure with the Canadian National Party. Well the NDP can deny her position but its strongly supported by audio record!!!
You can be assured my adult candidate will continue to work for all his constituents, as he has the last fifteen years, and will work as hard this election as he has all the others to earn his mandate.

Ah, you have to love troofers: like Scientologists, nobody likes them. NDP, Liberal, Tory...all shooting them down.

Guess the Libs are not hiding their puffin poop as well as they thought...

Who does she think she is, Elly May?

I think you folks are missing the boat here. This is about the loss to say what one believes no matter how nutty & is now used as a PC litmus test of candidates beliefs. Religion has become another. More rights being subsumed under sugar coated meaningless rhetoric. Made deliberately obtuse to confuse. So what if their nuts, let people decide if they agree with them or not at the ballot box.

Are they all to be of one mind in set parameters depending on the party or roll assigned. Is individualism now dead in Canada? Who sets these standards? Are we all to start reading the same script. These are the questions one should be asking & their non-partisan to boot. Seems all the parties are kicking people out who don't fit a profile. That is scary people. We get less a democracy every election.

Hey, everybody, be SURE to read the comments at the Globe and Mail link, while they're still up. The rats are coming out of their holes, and they're very, very hungry. Holy smokes.

Paging Rod Serling...paging Rod Serling...

Gotcha! Journalism at its finest ;)

Revnant Dream; there's a world of difference between YOU being allowed to offer your opinions unfettered, and someone offering their services to govern the country, offering opinions wildly at odds with the party platform they purport to represent.
If they want to run as Independants, go for it I say!
The whole point of running under a party banner is that the electorate needs to know that the candidate will represent the voters not themselves; the voters obviously buying a specific 'product'. The problem I have is that, in most cases, the candidate, once elected, surrenders his/her allegiance to the folks that elected him/her to the PM and faceless bureaucrats.
Anyone that doesn't is branded a maverick and loses their access to caucus.

Somebody here has likely already pointed out that Hughes, in her own mind, is making a distinction between anti-Zionist and anti-semite in making the denial statement that she did.
Whether there's ANY legitimacy to that pov is irrelevant; it's (apparently) not Liberal policy.
Remember Chretien suggesting Canada would move its embassy to Jerusalem? Just what Dion needs right now, charges of anti-Zionism bouncing around downtown TO. (Couldn't be happening at a better time...:)

Tom Newell,

Wishing you and Dick Harris all the best in Cariboo-Prince George. Having said that, the way your opposition has been performing hari-kari, I would guess that the Conservative Party pretty much just needs to show up in order to get re-elected. I would guess that there are more than a few 911 truthers running as candidates within the Lib-Green Party and the Nutty Dope Party.

Not hard to figure. Jack's a Truther!! If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

What's happening in Canadian politics?? Vote a nutter like this into ANY position of authority?

I hope not!!!

I am happy to see Mr. Harris' campaign manager Mr.Newell point out the high road Mr. Harris is taking as an adult candidate working for all his constituents (like the 2004 Conservative nomination controversy, the naked mayor episode and the in and out issue). I agree that it is weird to think freedom of speech is alive in this country. After all Mr. Harris is a Conservative party candidate.(Caesar use to exile or execute those practicing free speech, Harper makes them inaccessible to the media or makes them disappear) Mr. Harris has provided a moblle passport service. There have been allocations of funds (originally earmarked for helping those directly affected by the pine beetle epidemic)for infrastructure upgrades at airports in his riding. This service makes perfect sense. As the lumber industry is descimated by Harper's softwood lumber bailout and his whittling away of the promise of $1 billion over ten years to fight pine beetle in BC forests for projects best served by infrastructure funding allocations; out of work constituents can fly out of town to find work in countries where freedom of speech might still exist.

MY appologies to Kate. Posted this on the wrong thread, my big bad.

DaninVan;

My worry is that anyone with any small c conservative ideals will automatically be put threw a PC filter that no one but red Tories need apply. The guy who spoke about the cowardice on the bus was right. They where not hero's. Is running away now the Canadian standard of honor?
If Harper is against his support for gun ownership is he also for the gun registry? He sure hasn’t stopped it. We all know as well that we have an immigration problem. I suppose elections are not for talking about that as well.
Tired myself of the politico's setting priorities & agendas for us. It should be the other way around.
By the way I agree with your point on being a public figure , but still don't we all deserve free speech to find out what these folks really think instead of the party line?
I must say I completely agree that once they are voted in they become drones of said party. Like Australia I think we should vote separately for a PM. That may lessen the strangle hold of party whips on back benchers.
