Yeah.



They aren't so much OTT Christian morality, but that sounds about right. Also, on regards to 'strengthening provincial government', I'm not sure about that. The roles of the province and the feds are well-defined, here, and unlike the US, I don't believe we raise fusses on this subject.



Eh, what?

The third party is the Bloc Quebequois, who are essentially, seperatist loonies, who want Quebec to have a bigger cut of the pie, and among all things, their own olympic team. Bleh.



And they are the fourth party. In short, commies, and oil-on-the-fire stuff, who never get their way.

Hardly the case old man, I do my research, so why don't you do yours before making all kinds of bitter accusations?

before you start writing a book, you might try atleast googling the phrase. I have never read or heard it before, but its simple, and to the point, and expresses powerfully the way I feel about the issue, 100% (C) Thief13x.

While wikipedia is an excellent place to get an idea on a subject, it should NEVER be used as one's only source of information. A news site mentioning that the change was instigated by liberals would be more believable, since they have to do most research for you. (I won't accept Fox News, either)

Thought I'd throw that in before someone said "OMG Everything on Wikipedia is a lie!"

It also says in your own quote that the area was a bastion for republicans. Just because Democrats gained control in the area, doesn't mean all those republicans upped and moved to another city. If this ploy was the idea of the democratic party, it may just be to gain favor with the locals. Also, the School Board there is probably not all liberals, and i doubt any republicans would have tried to block the formation of such rules.

And no, I have not researched the subject. It's speculation, which is as far as anyone is really going to get on this topic. Unless you feel like flying out there, interviewing all members of the Board(noting they're political orientation), writing a 10-20 page report in MLA style, and citing all of your sources. I could give you a link to a place with a bunch of legit articles an journals, but I doubt you'd be willing to do all this for us, so that we are proved wrong.


Woo, said more than i felt like, but once I get started....It's kind of like potato chips. Speaking of which...

You fatties are making some pretty wacky jumps to national levels and BIGGER PICTURES here.

It's a bunch of dickheads on a board, or maybe one rubbish principal or WHATEVER (who knows where the rule, if it exists at all, even came from BECAUSE THE AMAZING NEWS POST DOESN'T EVEN SAY). That's pretty much it, surely.

How anyone can get from a few individuals with bizarre attempts to prevent schoolyard groping in some place most of us probably can't even accurately place on a map to SWEEPING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, I don't know. Well I do, but it would be dreadfully impolite to say.

And no-one even read the original article properly anyway, because if they had they'd have spotted my hilarious error over the gender of the principal a page or so back. Yes, even I didn't read it properly - after I thought I had! Gadzooks!

So basically, THE BRAIN has registered a FLASH HEADLINE and launched into AWESOME, I CAN BLAME MY DEADLY POLITICAL OPPONENTS FOR THIS mode without even thinking about .. well, anything much at all really.

Of course this causes me quite a QUANDARY too, as saying "it's not that important, significant or otherwise interesting or relevant" does, naturally, expose one to the devastating barb of choice for the dullard: namely "oh well why are you even posting then ahh I've got you now haven't I, do you see?"

But really I can't sit by and let this explode into even more piffle.

So, in summary: internet



I like caps, me. Not caps for the head you understand. No. Large letter type caps. Which should have been obvious without that clarification.

The Conservative party in Canada is actually the result of a merger between the Canadian Alliance, which began life as the Reform party, and the Progressive Conservatives, which until it's post-Brian Mulroney annihilation served as the "right-wing" political party in Canada. As the name implies, the Conservative party is functionally fairly similar to the old Progressive Conservative (PC) party -which is to say, right-wing - but has thus far shown considerably less right-winginess than most people expected. Women can still have abortions, fags can still get married, you can fuck chicks on their 14th birthday, and pot is pretty much cool as long as you don't make a big stink about it.

The confusion arises from the fact that many people have trouble differentiating between liberal and conservative, and Liberal and Conservative. While the Liberals are generally liberal, my impression is that they are considerably different than, say, the UK's Liberal Democrats, who based on what little I know of them are more like our New Democratic Party, ie., commies.

And wasn't there something going on here earlier about rubbing a chick's arse?
