Fall election

[parsley]

Which political party do you have the most faith in to protect Canadians and Canada, which is the primary duty of any government? Pars

[parsley]

You need to go for a 2km run, bucket. Pars

[bucket]

Parsley.

Which party - I think a minority government gives us the best hope.

More discussion. More thinking. And not everyone has to agree.

But some very good things get done that way.

This country is not prepared for future growth. Too many short sighted people involved.

[parsley]

Who will best protect us, bucket? In your opinion.

[freewheat]

Actually, I build my own approaches. lol.

And once built, even if I relied on someone else, they do not need maintenance.

So who props the Sheep guys?

[parsley]

Our present gov't actually committed a tremendous amount of money to infrastructure; in particular, PORTS

Remember when I posted about all the money that is being spent, and is dedicated to, refurbishing ports, and enlarging them, so huge ships and railroads can access, both east and west ports as well as north. $$ Billions. pars.

[parsley]

With such a huge financial commitment to the "big picture" infrastructure improvement in Canada, sumdum and bucket, some local projects had to be downsized or ended, in order tackle the large projects which will eventually serve all of us well.

De-fattting Agri-stability, for example, in order to upgrade a port, enabling it to handle modern ships, requires focus, and spending discipline, and not caving in to the "I won't vote for you " threats.

Infrastructure has been, (in spite of your infrastructure statement Bucket), and will continue to be, an important focus of a PMSH govt. pars

I sent you these numbers in your ISIS thread and heard very little from you to this regard.

In the last seven years the following departments have handed back the following amounts of unspent budget funds:

CSIS 180 million
RCMP 1.7 BILLION
DND 9.5 BILLION

Is Harper all about balancing the budget for the 2015 election or protection? Your argument about protection is losing traction.

Harper hates the debt.

Open you eyes if he hated debt, why are there Economic Action Plan ads running every commercial break on TV. Freewheat take the time to google just how many 100's of millions he has spent on TV ads compared to any other PM before him.

Wheaty, it's those that claim to be so self reliant that quickly forget just how much they have taken from the government in the past. You shouldn't accuse other's on Agriville of wanting hand me outs, just because they are apposed to the terrible fiscal job Harper has done. You have no clue as to what other Agrivillers do to keep their farming operation up and running.

Wheaty, comments like that show a lot of unjustifiable resentment toward others.

[freewheat]

lol. I have no resentment towards anyone. Oh man, you are taking this way too seriously. Chill a bit, have a sense of humor.

I HATE the action plan ads. I like freedom of choice. I am not at all sure what else to add.

I hate waste, I hate handouts, I have a struggle with those who refuse to do it on their own.

I am pretty confident, out of pretty much anyone on here, I have overcome, and risen above among the worst hands one could be dealt, and have never felt entitled to be given stuff. So I am unsure why you seem to think I have been given stuff, or feel entitled.

The folks who feel they need to be given stuff, have often already been given a lot.

You miss the like of Joe Clark. That in itself is telling enough..

Cheer up. Life is too short to panic about differing views.
