Good on Harper

[X-it]

He has been there a long time and is still not hated, a few years with another party and that will become clear. How are you guys enjoying the NDP? How many years before everyone is broke.

If either one of the other 2 were actual options I would likely do a lot more in depth research and compare apples to apples..... Unfortunately I believe in this case we are trying to compare jelly beans to onions. Harper has his faults some that he is directly responsible for others are likely the result of the actions of others and/or the will of the majority of the party. A PM or party lead can oppose and veto majority decisions however if he were to exercise that right too often he would not lead the party for long. If you've ever been in a management position and refer to your job as "herding cats" imagine trying to manage a team (I use that term loosely) of independently elected politicians.

The points I always fall back to are
-Canada is in better economical shape than most, depending on the list you choose Canada fluctuates between 7th & 11th (7th by Forbs in 2013 & 14) 9th by Bloomberg in 2009 after the 2008 crash.
-We consistently rank among the best places in the world to live, and hold a number of the top 25 cities in the world.
-I live a good life and although I hate taxes, I do feel what I pay is relatively fair for what I receive. (the welfare system irks me to no end)

Mulclair and Trudeau scare the Fawk out of me, over the past 8 years we have fared well in some tough economic landscapes and I do not believe Harper has failed. My Ontario friends were quite happy with the response to the 2008 crash, lots of folks ended up out of work but because of infrastructure spending (60 billion) it didn't last long. Debt is debt and will always be there but we got life pretty good and I'm afraid either of the other 2 azzhats will fawk that up.

the woman who challenged the law regarding wearing a veil (niqab) over her face during the canadian citizenship swearing in ceremonies, has had the decision overturned. Harper spoke about it today and basically said if you want to be a canadian "show us your face" that is the canadian way !!!! It's about time someone took a stand !!!! It's before the courts again.

but i do totally agree with you......both mulscare and trudough scare the hell out of me... Trudeau, because he has no sense of economics at all(has no idea of the total $ he has already pledged in this election, and figures small business in canada is simply a tax write-off for the wealthy - he has 3 #'d companies that he uses for write-offs from his millions inherited) and finally the worst, mulcair, because he is extreme leftist, and his mandate is slowing down or stopping oil sands(and alberta), gun control(we already tried that), importing 60000+ refugees before end of 2015(we have our own problems that need addressed first), careless promised spending(putting us into deeper debt, without balancing budget), etc etc
BOTH these candidates are pro-Eastern Canada, so we will have little to none assistance. Already today, mulscare promised Quebec will be assisted for secondary education and subsidized by Western equalization transfer payments.... WTF?

National Energy Program, Canadian Wheat Board, there is two things that Harper has helped the west with.

No one man is perfect. You have to weigh the pros and cons. I could list many things the liberal and NDP parties have done wrong as well.

Obviously I agree I do not like the fact of bringing temporary foreign workers in at all, probably took a job from myself personally.

I hope the refugees he has brought in are the highest class rather then the things stated in the video I linked.

I will agree no man is perfect. In other posts I have even said that as I believe none of the 3 leaders brings anything new to the table. Lots of blah blah just to get our votes. Politics is a dirty business

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!" The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell badand wants you to change your underwear." He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCart hy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz."
 THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Someone may come along and promise "Change", but don't count on things smelling any better

Not sure what you guys have against the Niqab

 

[snochuk]

Let me explain this to you simply…… do you agree 100% with Harper's platform….. I doubt it. Some things I agree and others I don't. Same goes for JT. One makes an educated decision what best suits my needs and my family.
As for the case of the refugees, to be honest I am for bringing "legitimate" refugees here with proper screenings etc etc. To simply open the doors and say come in is not acceptable. If you look at Canada's history we have opened the doors to legitimate refugees for decades including EUROPEANS AND JEWS from the WWII. So, chances are your neighbour came from a family of refugees as early as the turn of the century. I know many of you said it it their problem and let them deal with it. Good thing our young soldiers did not take that attitude during the two world wars otherwise Europe maybe speaking German. My grandfather's brother was killed in Holland fighting the germans. I can bet the Dutch are grateful for Canadian soldiers! I have been to both Canadian cemeteries in France and Holland and there were a lot of graves with young men and women who did not turn a blind eye to another continents problem.

As for the article, take a closer look it was from Global News.

Tks for your time!

Holy fawk are you for real. I don't care what country they come from, what have these middle east refugee/terrorists done to the countries they have infested. Just look at the concessions European countries have made, look at the concessions we are contemplating and making for these nice refugees!. And infested is the right word buddy! These cockroaches want it all as soon as they are in. Harper is the only one with a pair. Open the dam door at all and no platform will matter unless the platform you're on has the carpet with you facing east. Their own type don't want them and you do? Do you have any value what so ever for OUR way of life???? You don't deserve to be in Canada screwing with my children's country.
Shame on you, you should put some value into your relative's sacrifice and not aid in the same type of horrors he fought against!
People grow a pair and call a spade a spade.

your reply is not really worth my time. But, have you ever been there? Are you trying to say that every single person from Syria is a terrorist. Get out of your igloo and open your eyes and stop watching media propaganda. Even Calgary's mayor is muslim. Who voted this terrorist in?? OMG end of Alberta as we know it!!! Hope one day you world does not crumble under your feet and you need assistance. For the record, like I said before, I am totally against opening the doors to whom ever from that part of the world but for a legitimate family lets welcome them. Its already happening!!

On a daily basis we collect intell to figure out who the "radical" ones are...the Muslims in their own mosques never know or admit to who the radicals are.... So how in the fawk are we supposed to know which ones are legit???? If they don't know them selves ???

I am so fricking fed up of the kids of these new immigrants , taking of to fight for Isis or trying to blow some one up over hear, or telling us we need sharia law....then the parents go on TV and claim they had no idea!!! TOTAL BS ,if the parents don't know they are being radicalized, how would a westerner know...
This crap needs to end...NOW, or we will be the next Europe ... Overrun in our own country!!
Today JT and mulcant are fine with the face covering law and would drop the appeal if elected...ONLY Harper wants them to take that rag of their face to become a Canadian....I rest my case...!!!!!!!

You ask me why Harper., well that is one pretty good reason right there .... One of many !!!

This video must be true... I saw it on the internet...

If you search some videos on some of the riots in Europe, you can see that some are protests on civil issues.

If you think that the media would hide the riots, what would be their gains?

He's proven himself so far, no more gun registry, helped the west more then any other premier, kept the fight over seas instead of bringing it home. If it wasnt for te conservatives I'm thinking the west may have separated. I understand he's gotta let some refugees in to make himself not seem like the bad guy, if I was in his shoes I probably would do the same to try and help him get votes. But taking a stand for Canadian Citizens on home soil, not allowing an immigrant trying to change Canada to be something of her own country of where she ran away from, now that is what Canada needs. Look at Germany, the refugees destroying a country that are taking them in. Sweden, since they're opened the doors to mass immigration, rape has went up 1400%. I'll vote, for the first time, for Steven Harper. I hope he keeps Canada what we all, as true Canadians want it. Here's a little video of why I don't want liberals or ndp letting in 40,000 refugees.

https://youtu.be/UkIocH91j0w

 

[CUSO]

Agreed.

If they check out and pose no threat... I see no reason to not let them in.

Many of us here think that since they are "immigrants....... WAIT My parents were immigrants, and got the fug out of Germany.

Many of you are also children of immigrants..

Some feel threatened that these people will take our jobs... truth is, they won't unless it's a low paying job that most average Canadians don't want anyways. Welfare is better....

If they threaten higher paying jobs, well..... A capitalist society seems to be the trend, and at least they probably bust their ass to get ahead. Get off your laurels...

Seen it on more then one website, there's two sides to every story, thought I would share a video that included a lot of the cons. I don't know why your going after me lol I just posted a video that i seen that will open curiosity to the refugee crisis. I don't see any gains from hiding anything but i can think one a reason why the media is not broadcasting the information along, retaliation, want to make a bunch of Muslims with a history of terrorism mad at you? I seen it on the news about them making threats against companies. Not to mention about how the world would cry racism, seems like our freedom of speech is racism now as well. But they take advantage of their new found rights being in Canada.

Dont know if anyone's been to Regina lately, half of the population is immigrants.
