Am I allowed to use the N word because I have a black friend? Because that's what you're suggesting.

McKenna is as phoney and condescending as a politician can be. No wonder she’s a cabinet minister in a Liberal government.

Do you think I have some kind of moral high ground over you?

I am trying to have a legit discussion here.

Would you support a law saying recognizing only “traditional marriage”?

Ok, but is the analogy not apt? The party and platform most align with my values. They have made mistakes. They need to be better. I believe they can be and they represent the best path forward according to my personal ideologies.

Ninja Edit there I see. I don't accept your assertion and I respectfully disagree for reasons I have already stated.

No!!!!!

That’s my point. It is my personal view.

That’s the difference that some people don’t understand.

For sure the best way to get them to change and be better is to just vote them right back in. That'll show them

How about a law that says you can partner with anyone you want in fact gender or sex is not even listed, only age. Does that work for you?

Do you think those people shouldn’t be able to get married? Because if you do, think for a moment about how it literally doesn’t affect you at all, and reflect on the fact that yes.. you are indeed a bad person. You think you’re better than them and should be able to have more rights and freedoms than them because you don’t like the idea of a guy having sex with another guy. Get over yourself and grow up.

It's very funny that the Rhino Party ran a candidate named Maxime Bernier against the PPC Maxime Bernier.

It's even funnier that the PPC Bernier didn't win.

It does, but that wasn’t my question, or my point.

Here's what YOU don't understand, you must be forced and accept the beliefs of others or you are a terrible person. But you cannot force your beliefs on them.

Anyways it’s time to take some time off CP and the internet.

Democracy sucks when it doesn’t work in your favour.

Goodbye everyone.

Would you vote for someone who believed that interracial marriage was despicable and an affront to his God? Even if he never was going to fight publicly to ban interracial marriage?

Maybe people just don't feel comfortable voting for self-proclaimed bigots. At least the whole blackface thing had Trudeau apologize for mistakes made 20 years ago. Scheer was clear that he wasn't apologizing for his archaic beliefs.
