I like Sanders as a person - he reminds me of the stereotypical wise, funny old Uncle who is full of great stories but always falls asleep before getting to the punchline. His best chance is behind him. He’s 77 and looks old for his age. Chin up though, Butler. He can still run as an...

Trivia question: Who was the last person to see Flaherty alive? (Hint, a fellow MP who is a doctor).

There was definite friction between Flaherty and Harper in the last months. This might have added to the stress and his health concerns. There were very open rumours of an ideological split surrounding the continued abuse of stimulus funds (the “Action Plan” lasted far longer than Flaherty...

Don't flatter yourself Garrett - you're misinformed and you were totally wrong on the Patrick Brown thread and in the same thread tried to say the exact opposite of your earlier posts once I called you out. Remember? - surprised that you're apparently dumb enough to bring that up while YOU...

Why do you say that? He's not going to win the nomination - you even posted as much on the first page. And Butler IS a Trump fan. So he must be upset because by the time Sanders loses the nomination, he'll be hard pressed to get enough cash for a legitimate run as an independent to...

Yeah, you were wrong about that story too. Remember? You blamed the Liberals... LOL! In fact, why do you bother posting about politics since you're horribly misinformed?

Both Harper and Scheer have similar qualifications - which is basically nothing outside of sucking at the teat. If you think that's more than Trudeau, fine - but neither has any real private sector experience. Both dropped out (Harper from UofT, Scheer from U of Ottawa) and finished at...

You must be somewhat upset that he's not running as an independent. Your boy Trump will still have a good chance even without an independent Sanders splitting some of the vote.

Oh give me a break. The leak to the Globe and Mail came from somewhere and it came after her move to VA even though the alleged offense took place back in Sept/Oct. So IF it was that serious - why didn't she resign in the Fall or why didn't this leak make it's way to the press in the Fall...

But Scheer is the leader of the opposition not the closet coward. It took great skill to end up with a leader who has LESS experience than Trudeau, but the CPC managed to do it. Hilarious really. As for Harper - this is a man who (WITH Flaherty) campaigned in 2008 on Canada...

Glad I'm not the only person! I love winter and I love shovelling - it should be considered a sport, LOL! I've made a huge, record size (for my driveway) mountain of snow in my backyard (where my garage is located). In fact, it's so high this year, that I had to spread it out a bit...

Off topic movie trivia: Years ago a young comic/singer/dancer/entertainer entered a talent agent's office did a routine and the agent said: "That was fantastic!! What's your name?" "Penis Van Lesbian" said the young entertainer. "Well, you'll have to change your name if you want to...

Which is why it would be perfectly natural for this to be discussed in cabinet. I think this entire matter is being overblown. At the very heart of the matter is why would the Liberals go to bat over crimes that occurred under another Govt's watch? For a Govt (Harper's) that appointed...

If it was truly about safety, radar detectors would be legal, and the police could set up real and decoy traps all over at unsafe areas. Anybody with a detector would slow down for these sections. As long as the police mixed it up enough (switching real and decoy emitters) - then people...

I disagree that it's entirely different than Libya. It speaks to a corporate culture at SNC-Lavalin (from the CEO down) that in order to get things done, they have to grease the wheels. The company definitely needs to clean up its act - and it is a top down problem, not a case of a being a...
