Excellent article on Harpers REAL track record and his hidden agenda, I can pretty much guarantee a crack down on prostitution if he wins.

Ah! A lame attempt to diffuse the article without directly refuting any of it's actual content, because of course, you can't.Now that's funny Nottyboi, what are you going to try next an article from The Daily Worker?
Considering all the large jails they are building, the crack down on crime they already passed and the religious zealot that Harpo has running the justice department, you are 100% correct.I think if the C's get a majority a crack down on prostitution is a given. The religious right will expect to be thrown a bone, and I think the government would steer clear of touching the abortion issue. When you run down the other social conservative issues they could tackle, prostitution stands out as being one that they would view as "safe" to attack.
It depends upon what you mean by "prositution": changing the law as regards outcall, I stongly doubt it. Enforcing the law as regards Street Walking or Incall - far more likely, and indeed a majority of Canadians would have no problem with such.I think if the C's get a majority a crack down on prostitution is a given.

Do you know the difference between an opinion and a fact ? Publishing opinions does not make them factual. The writer is completely speculating on Harper's intention not based on his current actions but based on what he thinks that Harper really wants to do.Excellent article on Harpers REAL track record and his hidden agenda, ...
It always makes me laugh when I hear the media say Harper is really a libertarian maybe fiscally but socially he's far more authoritarian than any of the other leaders. I think the only true libertarian in the conservative party is Maxime Bernier.Of course conservatives will likely initiate new prostitution laws. Conservatives believe in minimal government intervention in business regulations but suppressive Christian value based regulations controlling people's lives. Libertarians believe in minimal government intervention in business and personal lives. There might be a few hiding in with the conservatives but not enough to blunt sticking their nose in our lives.
You would have been more forceful without the stuff in the first paragraph. It's all opinion and you're entitled to it, but without facts it isn't at all persuasive.I'll tell you my nightmare in Canada a liberal and NDP coalition, tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend.... Ya I have no doubt Harper has a some kind of hidden agenda but remember not every Canadian believes in the Liberals "lol natural governing party" view of Canada. It gets on my nerves when Liberals assume their vision is the only and correct vision for Canada and anyone who doesn't agree with them is automatically evil, non-Canadian and bent on destroying their country. Well I have news for them a lot of us other Canadians feel the Liberals are evil and have destroyed our country with their high taxes and wasteful socialist programs and Harper is the only way we'll ever get it back. I for one would love to see the CBC to go, its outlived it's usefulness and I don't want my tax dollars going to this pointless organization.
I do agree that their aren't enough checks and balances on the PM's power and that any liberal or conservative could PM could kinda lead like a dictator but the article really hams it up.
i may be a little older but i can remember some unchecked and uncheckable PM power from a few liberal PM's from a few years back..........................We've certainly seen lots of examples proving the fact of unchecked and uncheckable PM power in the last few years, and that's certainly worth remebering at the polling booth.
Why do you believe the libs will tax and spend when they are the party that eliminated the deficit and passed the largest income tax cuts in Canadian history?I'll tell you my nightmare in Canada a liberal and NDP coalition, tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend....

The past is past and before my time but when I look at the liberal platform today all I see is a plan to tax and spend more of my money than the conservatives will. Just look at their platform an 8 billion dollar one. Just a snippet from the CTV website:Why do you believe the libs will tax and spend when they are the party that eliminated the deficit and passed the largest income tax cuts in Canadian history?
The Conservatives only talk about fiscal restraint when they are trying to kill off some social program they disagree with ideologically, but when it comes to funding their own pet issues they spend money like drunken sailors.For me the party that takes less of my money to give to someone else gets my vote.
Which is why a minority is such a good idea.i may be a little older but i can remember some unchecked and uncheckable PM power from a few liberal PM's from a few years back..........................
