Scott Brison is a political star. Visionary and intelligent.

You have GOT to be KIDDING!!!!!
A star?? Not a freakin' chance.
Maybe a moon..... a useless waste of space that appears on the horizon day in, day out. Regardless of the question put forward to him in the house regarding the Gomery inquiry, he replies with the same old sad line. You could set your watch by him.
As for the rest of your lame post...
How many of you as Albertans really support a party that wants to tear the country apart?
Not many, that is why we don't vote Liberal. The sponsorship scandal is fuelling the fire of Quebec separatism by a landslide compared to ANYTHING that has happened since the last Quebec referendum. Good politics by the Liberals.
Joe Clark could not support anything Harper.
Good. He is a failure, and a turncoat.
And his [Harper's] decisions are too religously based.
Like giving Atlantic Canada rights over their own offshore resources, a policy put forward by the Conservatives, then later stolen by the Liberals. Now it is a political land mind. It is now linked to the budget debate and those that are too stupid to understand where this policy originated think that the Conservatives will kill this accord if the government is defeated. Dumb and dumberer voters anyone? How is this decision by Harper religiously based?
Calgary was the only Urban riding to really support the Conservatives......Even Edmonton had a hard time swallowing him.
Kilgour won in Edmonton by 132 votes (+0.33% vote share) over the Conservatives while McLellan won by 721 votes (+1.35% of vote share). BTW, she won in 1993 by a mere 12 votes. This is in contrast to the other Edmonton area districts that voted with AT LEAST +10% of vote share difference and as much as +35% difference. That is not a "hard time swallowing him".
But maybe they're actually voting for what is REALLY important over dollars.
Seriously, 120 million is NOTHING.
Name one Liberal initiative that they are doing which is effective use of taxpayers money, and how its importance benefits all Canadians moreso than the cost thereof.
EVERY taxpayer dollar IS important.
And Hakan...
Corporations which have ALREADY been reaping windfall profits for the past 5 years without the tax cuts
With a bulk of retirement savings funds, pension funds and RRSP's tied directly into the profitability of Canadian corporations, you would have to be quite naive to suggest that by companies profitting that Canadians in general do not.
Not only do corporate tax cuts (small, medium and larges corps) help the ecomomy by being able to reinvest within (job creation, expansions, etc), but it directly relates to the prosperity (and economic viability) of the elderly whom have invested their retirement savings into mutual funds and other securities that will help them maintain self sufficiency throughout their final years.
Uggghhhh... I am tired of this (CPC/Liberal) debate. For the record... I am not religious whatsoever, but I support conservative platforms. I have walked the road of the hemp culture (and more), and determined that it was without question, my worst demon... don't go there. As for the gay marriage issue, why is the word marriage vs union worse than the current
church marriage vs
civil marriage? No one is debating that gays cannot unite and be respected thereafter with all due recognition of their united status. I support that. So do all political parties, including the CPC. Why is leaving the definition of marriage as something between a man and a woman such a problem? I would think that "civil union" vis a vis "civil marriage" is significantly better than the potential "heteromarriage" vis a vis "homomarriage", if one were to superimpose marriage onto sexuality into the current nomenclature.
I am digressing.... bottom line for me... Stonauch's change of party is no worse to me than if Kipper ran off to the Oilers just before the playoffs. Inconceivable.
