Canadian politicians just seem to benefit from inertia so much. 10 years of Harper, 13 years of OLP, 15 years of BC Libs and 4 billion years of no real federal NDP power. I guess if we get some electoral reform it won't be such an all or nothing thing, I like Angus a lot better than Chong, Leitch or Ashton.

I know CI would love the following story: I ran into a homeless guy in downtown Hamilton last night asking for change. He then mentioned that he was a veteran and the reason why he's homeless is because they "cut the pensions so those people could come over and stay at the Sheraton for $120/night."

5 year open transparent jet competition. Sole source jets now. Repeat in 5 years.quote:Public Works Minister Judy Foote said the planned competition will ensure that the country gets the right fighter jet at the right price, but it could take as long as five years to prepare and run. That is despite multiple consultations with industry and an exhaustive, independent panel review conducted under the Conservatives.

This is about getting our women and men in uniform the equipment they need to do their jobs and protect Canadians in the most effective way possible while maximizing economic benefits for the middle class and those working hard to join it.” The gently caress? How's about not buying advanced fighter jets? How many billions would that leave for spending on the middle class?

Pinterest Mom posted:I don't understand why it would or should be illegal to promise a cabinet post to a prospective candidate to entice them into running. I know I'm being an idealist but the law writers probably were too. The law might see political parties appoint the most qualified people to appropriate cabinet positions and maybe disincent a struggling incumbent party from luring strong opposing candidates with promises of extra power, money and connections that come with top cabinet spots? Either way, the law's pretty clear. Under provincial law, “no person shall, directly or indirectly, give, procure or promise or agree to procure an office or employment to induce a person to become a candidate, refrain from becoming a candidate or withdraw his or her candidacy.” I don't know who added that law though, couldn't look it up quickly.

I mean, if you're looking to appoint "the best qualified", it's a lot more likely that the best qualified person for the job is outside your caucus than in.
