Here are some facts.

Agri invest is the same as Nisa except they lower the percentage from 3 to 1.5 percent.

They never reigned in the railways or graincos during 2013. If that would have happened with the cwb in place Ian white would have been in front of a parliamentary committee every day.

Rail lines are still being torn out.

Graincos are doing transfers via truck and ruining highways and municipal roads - that's downloading.

There are no transparent reports.

That's just funny. I spewed my coffee. Still cleaning up.

Tom looks like he could be Mulcair's father, brothers would be stretching it a lot.

From Wicki... obviously Mulcair uses hair dye.

Thomas Joseph "Tom" Mulcair[4] PC MP (born October 24, 1954) is the leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, as well as the Leader of the Official Opposition in Canada. An NDP Member of Parliament for the electoral district of Outremont in Quebec since 2007, he was selected as the leader of the NDP at a leadership election on March 24, 2012, with 57.2% of the votes on the fourth and final ballot.[5]

A lawyer by profession, Mulcair joined the federal NDP in 1974.[6] He was the provincial Member of the National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Chomedey in Laval from 1994 to 2007, holding the seat for the Liberal Party of Quebec. He served as the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks from 2003 until 2006, in the Liberal government of Premier Jean Charest. Elected MP for Outremont in a by-election in 2007, he was named co-Deputy Leader of the NDP shortly afterwards, and has won re-election twice.

It would be nice if Bucket and Forage could discuss the content of a topic instead of criticizing other posters that don't agree with them.

Good to see the TPP being signed.

I texted someone last night that I thought harper will win guessing at a majority.

It doesn't hurt to point out some of the conservatives disappointments during this term.

Bucket,

Interesting times!!!

Read up more on the Liberal leader of the NDP!!!

He spent by far the longest time... a Liberal in Quebec provincial politics... being a Minister under Conservative... (did I say that) Premier Jean Charest [Liberal premier]

Federal politics[edit]
Talks with federal parties[edit]
With his exit from the provincial Liberals, Mulcair explored an entry into Federal politics, having discussions with the Liberal Party of Canada, the New Democratic Party, and the Conservative Party of Canada,[23] During this time he also considered a job with a prominent law firm's environment section.[41] Talks with the Conservatives failed because of differing views on the Kyoto Protocol.[42]

Although Mulcair has identified former Quebec Liberal Party leader Claude Ryan as his political mentor,[43] his presence in the front row during a speech in Montreal by NDP Leader Jack Layton in March 2007 led to speculation about his political future.[44]

...Mulcair accused former PQ minister Yves Duhaime of influence peddling. Duhaime filed a defamation suit in 2005 and Mulcair was ordered to pay $95,000, plus legal costs.[29] In 2010 the provincial police anti-corruption squad in Quebec investigated the then sitting Mayor of Laval, Quebec, Gilles Vaillancourt, for allegations of bribing several provincial politicians. The probe contacted Mulcair to discuss a suspected bribe offered to him in 1994.[30] Mulcair claims he never looked in the envelope and handed it back to the Mayor.[31]

Your post's are always follow ups to Tom's, no matter what the topic. Just wondering are you a family member of Tom's, maybe a son, daughter, wife, etc etc? Your thought's mirror his way to closely, not to be somehow tied in with him!!

If Tom wants to keep starting threads about how great Harper is, just what do expect to happen. Think about for once!!!!!

[TOM4CWB]

Farmaolic,

[freewheat]

Over the top you liberal folks. Seriously over the top and beyond regular debate.
