Yes, because the details of a parliamentary democracy is EXACTLY like the rules for an athletic race of sorts.

What is scary is that you people are not even trying to spin, but actually believe every word that you say.

It should be noted that the athlete who accumulate...

It should be noted that the athlete who accumulates the most points (votes) gets the gold medal. Second place gets a silver, and third gets bronze. Fourth place gets nothing more than an "also ran" -- the podium is off limits to fourth place. The constitution permits the silver medalist to join with the fourth place loser to get all the first and second places, and ALL of the cabinet posts. Yep, that's what the recent election was all about.

You are in error to assert that Wally Keeler does not know how our government system works. It's too bad that you don't know how to read and comprehend English when it is clearly presented.

And somehow they still have the seats to topple Harper. Oh right, I believe that's called Parliamentary Democracy. Its too bad you don't know how our government system works. You know what they say, though - ignorance is bliss.

The spineless anonymous posits that Canadians actually voted for this three-stooges coalition. They did not, most emphatically they did not. Can the anonymouse point to any of the parties of the 3 stooges that they had offered a coalition to Canadians. They did not. To suggest otherwise is nothing less than a fraud.

Even less than 40% voted for Dion.
Even less percentage voted for Duceppe.
And in forth place, the NDP, a party that Canadians, in their wisdom, have historically decided to be unworthy of governing.

2008-12-03T12:17:00.000-05:00

Annnnd this proves that Harper is still in a minority situation and that not even 40% of people in the country voted for him how? What about the three parties who received far more votes and more seats representing the people who voted for them in the most effective way possible? Yah, lets go with that.

2008-12-03T08:21:00.000-05:00

I am not saying that voters in Quebec (I live here since Dec1) are not Canadian. I said that "no Canadians voted for the Bloc." Since you have the unique ability to discern the skin-colour of disembodied voices, surely you should be able to discern the difference between what I said, and your spin. Did the polls assert that those who voted for the Bloc did so exclusively as an anti-Harper vote? I note that you used the word "also", which does not discredit my assertion that anti-Canadians voted for the Bloc. For Allah's sake, the leader of the Bloc is anti-Canadian.

Are you saying that voters in Quebec are not Canad...

2008-12-03T06:25:00.000-05:00

Are you saying that voters in Quebec are not Canadian? Polls have shown that a Bloc vote was also an anti harper vote not just an independent vote.

We've had a majority government before and the gov...

2008-12-02T22:02:00.000-05:00

We've had a majority government before and the governing party received less absolute votes than all the other parties combined. The voters of Canada sent a message to the Liberals; that they regard the policies of the Liberals to be utterly stupid, that their leader is utterly stupid, and provided him with the lowest number of votes in Canadian history. Dion c'est fini. What a pity that a spineless anonymous backs such a loser.

Throughout history, the Canadian people have wisely refused to give the NDP a governing mandate.

No Canadians voted for the Bloc -- only those who are anti-Canadian voted for the Bloc. Yep, that adds up.

Wally! You presented the numbers yourself! They ha...

2008-12-02T17:59:00.000-05:00

Wally! You presented the numbers yourself! They have more than Harper! C'est fini!

2008-12-02T14:55:00.000-05:00

Okay Ben, so you want to label the listeners and hosts and indulge in stereotypes. What are the characteristics that made you identify them as sounding like white-skinned people?

I guess your penchant for stereotypes would regard rappers as sounding black, regardless of the individuality of Eminen.

Yep, only men beat women, murder women, rape women, all through history. So it is understandable when the doctor hands the newly born male to his mother, saying, "Congratulations, it's a murderer."

2008-12-02T13:09:00.000-05:00

Sure I used stereotypes and I don't apologise for it. When the radio show in question comes from a right wing corporation with no regard for anything else than pumping up Harper and denigrating the enemy and before the format change used to appeal to beer-swilling hockey fiends who hunt (any black stereotype there Wally?) employs jocks for hosts and begrudgingly entertains alternate opinion and slags that opinion off after the caller is on air then I am going to label the listeners and hosts.

2008-12-02T10:49:00.000-05:00

Bad losers?

Get a load of this: the Conservatives received 143 seats, up 19 from the last election, whereas the Liberals and NDP combined received 114 MPs combined, down 18 from the last election.

Who are the losers?

Furthermore: The Conservative vote, measured as a percentage, has grown five elections in a row. The Liberal vote, measured as a percentage, has declined four elections in a row.

Who are the losers?

In terms of absolute vote count, Stephen Harper received more votes in 2008 (5.21 million) than Paul Martin did in 2004 (4.98 million) or Jean Chretien received in his 1997 election (4.99 million) which earned him a majority. Harper’s 2008 count roughly tied Chretien’s 2000 majority result, too (5.25 million).

Who have been the losers over recent decades.

The leading party of the Coalition of the 3 Stooges, cannot balance their own party books despite years of sucking off the public trough in the tune of millions.

Who are the sore losers here.

There is a stink of political opportunism here. As surely as the Conservatives' move to turn off the funding spigot stank to high heaven with political opportunism, the same applies to the 3 Stooges -- they have decided to outstink the Conservatives. And guess you gets to shovel all that crap -- the Canadian people.

2008-12-02T10:30:00.000-05:00

So Ben, please explain to your readers how individuals "sound white," as compared, say, with sounding black, or plaid, or some other group-colour. Perhaps NDPers speak off-white, and that is how they are identified to the socialist cogniscenti.

There was a profound lesson learned recently by the Carlton University Student's Association that had voted 17-1 to discontinue supporting the cystic fibrosis charity drive because the disease affect most white people, predominantly males. There was outrage across the nation, rightly so, for this brazen racism & sexism.

And now we have an NDP pundit-puppet dismissing the concerns of white Canadians. The left mentality is responsible for the suffocating political correctmess that permeated our society and university campuses.

Gee daddy, I want to be pathetically correct when I grow up. Good for you son -- someday you'll me leader of a leftist government.
