[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[crazy canuck]

Yes, again, exactly.  It is ok to make decisions they favour with not evidence at all - ie nothing should ever happen in Parks because, well that would just be wrong.  That position of course ignores the fact that all kinds of things already happen in our Parks. The amendment was made to simply clarify the decision making process that must now be used for the government to allow research to occur.  Research!

If the David Suzuki's of the world are correct, no researcher in their right mind would ever find it feasible to run a pipeline through a park.  But I don't buy all his rhetoric

Okay, so there's agreement on the substance - this is to facilitate the process of deciding whether it's okay to, for example, have pipelines go through provincial parks - but not on the spin where it's "that's a decision that should be based on reasoned evidence" vs "provincial parks shouldn't have pipelines running through them; yet this is an industry driven push to manufacture political cover for doing just that."

No, that is the rhetoric.  This is to permit research.  Which was always permissable by an order in council.  It simply sets out formal factors the minister must consider.

So it merely formalizes a process that already happens?

As for taxes, if you spend more then 181 days your a resident for tax purposes and pay tax there. Most students spend more than that at school. In your opinion would that make them a resident for voting purposes?

No, students are in transit, they usually don't stay.  And they don't have to get a Quebec health card and driver's license.

However, if they have these, I don't see why they couldn't vote.  There might be a few mistakes here&there, nothing generalized in one way or the other.

No.

Provides legislative guidelines for the Minister to consider when deciding if research should take place within the boundaries of a Provincial Park.  Before this there were no mandated factors.  The lefty rags you read should have appluaded this

Less severe than what Grallon would do to those whom he deems disloyal to the separatist cause.

The point is moot anyway, unless an unforeseen miracle happens on April 7th, the PQ will lose this election - thanks to their own strategic amateurism.

As for the Globe's article - I'm surprised only 5 were caught - proof of the laxity of the the officials in charge.  There are rumors of hundreds of these foreigners cheating their way into our election. 

It has been a dirty campaign and worse is to come when the Liberals return to their business of dismembering our country.  Something which should make most of you happy, the potential new Prime Minister has already announced he was in favor of gutting bill 101 and expanding bilinguism across the board.  The first step towards our accelerated assimilation.  Oh and he plans to sign the accursed 1982 constitution - without referendum of course - as soon as possible.  So rejoice, I expect in one generation or two french will have become a minority language, in its own heartland, just like in Louisiana.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

Well, at least things are going right somewhere in the world.  The defeat of a non-true language anywhere in the world is cause for rejoicing.

Under Grallonism an official who allowed an non PQ voter to live would themselves be put up against the wall.

Only if the can find a firing squad to shoot in French.

Consider me deeply sceptical that on the eve of an election the Liberal leader is announcing he'll sign the 1982 Constitution and "gut" Bill 101.

Do you have a link?

So Valmy, here's one man that deserves to meet a death squad.  What a pity I'm in no position of authority.

When BB asked you if you had a link, I am pretty sure he didnt mean some random link about Quebec politics but a link that demonstrated your claims were true.

The National Post link has nothing to do with gutting Bill 101 but rather gutting another Bill the PQ tabled when they became government.  A Bill that never had a chance of passing in the Minority position the PQ had as both opposition parties opposed it.

The second link is a Federalist critical of the Liberal leaders position on Federalism.  That article does not indicate he plans on "signing" anything.

But I suppose you should be excused.  You were so close to being one step closer to instituting Grallonism.

Interesting result in the latest polling out of Quebec shows that support for the PQ amongst Francophone voters is collapsing and the PQ and Liberals are tied amongst those voters at 31%.

"It's true, we rarely see the two parties at the same level of support among francophones," said Luc Durand, president of the Quebec branch of Ispos Reid. Mr. Durand added that additional poll results to be released Thursday will help explain the PQ collapse among francophones.

What is the Languishites take on why it has occurred?
