This will cement my demonization on this board. But, I don't care.

Kim Campbell, the short-lived first woman PM ever, remarked at one point during her campaign that "an election is not the time to discuss important issues". :rolleyes:

Harper was in North Bay over the weekend, and Huntsville, and when he was pressed over whether same-sex couples would receive said sports benefits, he replied "If they're the legal guardians, they'll get the rebate". Fair enough.

However, when pressed further on the matter of same-sex marriages, he remarked that it was up to the provinces to handle the matter and he was glad he didn't have to get involved. Why am I not surprised. Good or bad, at least the Liberals didn't run away from the matter.

There are a lot of Conservative policy matters that I do agree with, but if you read the Sunday Star at all, you'll see that even Tory insiders are trying to make him as "red" as possible without alienating the people they are supported by. He has waffled many times in the last few years, and even some more recent matters have been jaw-droppers.

Have we forgotten that the man that wants to run our fair country called us a "Northern European welfare state in the truest sense of the word"? I haven't. I have a hard enough time swallowing the numbers for the dole each year, I don't need to hear that crap from someone being paid by our tax dollars.

The rabbit hole goes quite deep indeed, guys.

EDIT - are their numbers legit? Maybe not:
