They have gone several steps farther in exacerbating the corruption they accused the previous Liberal government of.

It may reduce many deaths and the immeasurable amount of money spent on damge done to property and peoples' lives.

This corrrupt government is without ethics or morals. We need the Egyptians to teach us how to deal with despotic governments.

I am concerned about the country, that is, the people of Canada, or at least, the majority of them.

Everytime he is outside the country he does the wrong thing. On second thought, he does the wrong thing inside also.

Probably directly by friends or relatives of the hostages but maybe indirectly by government.

The last two commissioners were disasters. Elliot did nothing to improve the situation. However a commissioner from inside the force may not be a good idea. He may have bias for the RCMP and not place the peoples' interests in priority.

Right winger are far more protectionists. We don't have to close markets. We can have sovereignty and still trade. But our own sovereignty and security comes first.

They are a threat to humanity. Of course, no country will until the US decides to ban them.

The majority of members of Parliament should form the government. Which party they belong to has no relevance. BTW, for the last 5 years we've had a coalition. There is nothing wrong with coalitions as long as they make up the majority.

Democracy occurs when the leader is representative of the majority and is elected by the majority of voters.

They allow our soldiers to turn prisoners over to be tortured. They allow our citizens to be held and tortured in US jails. They send those who attack corruption and fight for justice and human rights to countries where they most likely will be tortured and killed Many Canadians say as long as it doesn't happen to me, who cares? That's exactly the way Harper wants it.

Those who can least afford it pay the full amount. Those with the most, use every legal and illegal means to avoid paying what they should.

It is not complex. It is very simple. Are we humane or are we not? The answer is a hundred times more relavent when it involves children. We should not turn enemy soldiers or hardened criminals over to the possibliity of torture, Never mind children. It is just not civilized. It's not even humane.

Said much better than I could express it. When we have the head of our security system having thoughts like that, then we are in danger of losing both our security and our freedom.

Williams isn't now. What is far more dangerous than either or both is a government that violates the human rights of anyone, but especially their own citizen.
