Sorry buddy … but you're not great with the math, are you? The Cons are using an antiquated voting system to shaft nearly 70% of the Canadian voting public with ideological backwater. Don't let Stephen Harper and his pack of liars convince you otherwise.

Do you really think that's what this is all about? Just a bunch of greedy politicians looking for a handout? How can you really believe that when that's all the Cons can do is give cash to their buddies on Bay Street or to the Defence industry? A billion or two off the military budget and we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we?

This is about democracy in Canada. The Harpies don't believe in it. If they did, they would respect the voice of the majority of Canadian voters and they would find a way to negotiate with the other parties. However, because they insist of getting the big truck in the sandbox, they deserve a little time out.

Maybe you can help me by answering one simple question for me please: why support the Conservatives? Because they're so good at screwing up economies? Or is it that you get juicy contracts from the defence industry? I don't understand why someone would support them, so please … tell me why they're worth supporting. Just a couple of reasons.

I wouldn't be upset if the Conservatives get a majority through fair means, by proposing a more desirable choice. IMHO they didn't do that in October.

4. Strongly agreed, though I'd debate the size of cuts to DND (we're below per capita compared with everyone else in NATO).

Think about it – major parties (Lib, NDP, PC, BQ) competed for years, but never tried to destroy each other. The Conservatives aren't competing, their out to destroy the competition, which means something very different.

Always looking for a hand out from our government, and its always about you never the will of the people. The conservatives were voted into power BY THE CANADIAN PUBLIC. I hope the opposition does topple the government over losing their handout. That will prove to the Canadian people what you are all about. How long do you think it will be before we are back at the polls, and this time because of the undemocratic actions of the opposition the conservatives will get their majority. you NLP's (new liberal party) are all the same.
