Ralph Goodale

[ivbinconned]

yes, it does seem that Horse you are a glass half empty kind of guy !!!!

[Horse]

Why is it whining when I state an opinion and not you . I guess it must be because I dont have a conseritave card.

[ivbinconned]

I don't have any card horse but it is an observable fact that the theme running through all your posts is envy. Repeatedly you lament about the good fortune of your fellow man instead of cheering them on.

Envy will distroy your life!

I have said it before and it bears repeating, "capitalisim is the unequal distribution of wealth" and "socalisim is the equal distribution of poverty". I choose the former.

Tell me horse has the value of your property gone down by 50% percent in the past 15 years like mine in Saskatchewan. If not, then sell out and double your holdings by buying here...oh...I forgot...you are "comfortable"?

There can be no doubt that you have gained in one way or another right where you are. The sooner you admit it the sooner you will be happy...and I wish you well.

I actually think Ralph handled his meeting with the RCMP well. Said he told them what he knew and that they had a job to do. Also told the press that a few people knew of his decision...including two in the PMO! So maybe the leak came from there!
Yesterday Harper asked some questions about David Hurly and his advertizing group? Gomery had been forbidden by Martin to go there...now why was that? Maybe during this election we might get a clearer picture of what really happened in Quebec...and just how much Paul Martin really knew? If it comes out he was blatantly lieing when he said "I know nothing" will the people in Ontario still vote for him?

[wilagro]

All a tempest in a teapot. Goodale will be cleared of every charge.

Someone squealed...but not Ralph. He is a good honest prairie boy from Saskatchewan.

[wilagro]

just for the record Horse, I do not carry any party card, provincially or federally, however, I do keep myself informed on political agendas of all parties whenever possible.

[cowman]

Well emerald you may not carry a card but it is pretty apparent where your politics lie? Which is a good thing in my opinion.
I personally don't understand how anyone in Alberta could support the Liberal Party...and definitely not the NDP! The Liberal Party of Canada has been the biggest failure of any party to ever rule this country. Now I will admit Mulrooney wasn't any angel but he did some good things...capital gains excemption and free trade...are two of his better policies.
I find it shocking that any Albertan would vote for a party that stold billions right out of their pockets through the NEP? They must be mad.

[ivbinconned]

One must also be mindful of the fact that Mulrony was a Quebec lawyer, leader of the the "progressive" (liberal) conservative party!!

We have not had a real conservative government in this country for so long that we have nothing to gauge by or have reference to. Or be "scared" of.

[silverback]

Anyone that can stand beside the leaders of the Liberal party and smile and defend everything that has happened in the past can in NO WAY be considered a good honest prairie boy!! Gooddale is up to his hair roots in the endless corruption in the Liberal party.

[silverback]

cowman, I would think that any reasonable Albertan would want to see honest government, and one that treats all regions equally. I am surprised at the number of people who plan on supporting the Green Party for godsakes .....what a wasted vote at a time when we desparately need a change of government.

[cowman]

Well the green party is a protest vote? We don't seem to have the Rhinsaurous party anymore, so we need some goofy party to protest the process?
I guess they would be the best reason around NOT to have proportional representation? Nothing like a few nuts around for comic relief but could you see that in a close minority government situation?...why the inmates might be running the asylum!

[cowman]

In this constituency in the last Provincial election the Green Party candidate came in second !!!
Interestingly enough I haven't heard key environmentalists ( aka Martha Kostuch) voicing their support to the Green Party !
I do think that more young people are going to vote this election but that may not bode well for the Conservatives as young folks may be impressed by Martin's promise of free post secondary education.
The key thing to that promise is the FREE education is for low income students, and you can bet the bar will be set pretty low to define low income when it gets to the fine print !
I just hope that we don't get rotten weather on election day because that alone could turn the tide in some areas of the country.
