Ruby Dhalla Crossing The Floor?

[Tokyo Heights]

Captial Guy, so name the other two hotties also, so people can know who are the Canadian Hotties in our Federal Parliament. I fully agree that Ruby Dhalla has a steller personality, and if any man see's her would turn his head on to her. Hope soon Ruby Dhalla starts her practice soon at her Chiropractor Clinics
giving personal treatment to patients, and she will be fully booked by men of all ages

I wouldn't buy a used car from Steven Harper - why the fuck is he running the country?

It's not the PM's job to run the country. His job is to preside over the federal government.

 

[Never Compromised]

today the immigrants are here in Canada due to Liberals only, one should never forget that aspect also.

Spoken like a true lying Liberal hack.

Which party imposed a $1,000 head tax on new immigrants? The Liberals.
Which party increased the number of immigrants the most? The PC's under Mulroney
Which party created a backlog of 5 years for immigration applications? The Liberals
Which party has moved to reduce the waiting time to a target of 6 months? The Conservatives.

The Liberal Party are masters of lying to immigrants and creating the illusion of being the party of immigrants. But the reality is that most immigrants are hard working people that have come to Canada to find a better life for themselves and their families through hard work. A very conservative approach t life.

Ruby wont cross the floor. Some dumb reporter listened to some Tory somewhere who decided to see how dumb this reporter is I think.

Ruby has no reason to cross. She wont get elected as a Tory, even if that riding was leaning more to the right as time goes on, because she is incapable of being a Tory. She has the Liberal brand on her, and no one would take her seriously if she crossed the floor. She is having a hissy fit because Iggy shot down her private member's bill for Libreal support, but I suspect that isn't enough to make her cross the floor.

This thread was interesting tho.....apparnetly Harper would outlaw sex. Some of you dumb lefties really believe that don't you? Good lord, what a state we are in if we have dummies believing a politician would outlaw sex.

I suspect the status quo on prostitution laws would continue under a Harper majority. While there is some good arguments for legalizing the sex trade, and there is some cons to it as well, I think the public isn't really interested on change on this. It is why the Libreals never changed the prostitution laws when they were in office, and it is the reason the Tories wont either. With the drug trade, grow ops, gangs, gun battles on the streets and a general disatisfaction with the criminal justice system; no politician with a clue would turn around and go after prostitution.....well McGuinty might. He likes fixing problems no one else saw while ignoring big ones.

Harper isn't going to outlaw sex...rest easy....Conservatives like getting laid too eh?

This is so true. A friend of mine's father emigrated here from Guyana in 72. He is a died in the wool Libreal. Thinks Trudeau walked on water. Yet he isn't really politically savvy. When you engage him conversation about things in soceity, things that are going on, his views are not much different than mine, that is he is a small c conservative.

What is more, when you point out he is conservative in his view, he panics and denies it and votes Liberal. He still thinks Conservatives are evil, but if you tell him a Conservative idea but remove the party tag from it, he thinks it is a good idea.

Immigrants often show loyalty to the party that was in power when THEY got in; and it has nothing to do with logic or their personal beliefs often. However, as time as gone on, the Conservative party of Mulroney, and that of Harper have been around long enough during these immigration booms that many immigrants are seeing themselves as Tory supporters. What is more, the Asian immigrant is quite pro-business and can be conservative in nature. Mmmmmmmm that isn't good news for the Libreals. Too many people have bought into this myth of the Libreal party being the best one for the immigrants to this nation, but the sad reality is they just happened to be in power when they were to come into the country. What is more, while they did change the rules to allow more immigration from non-traditional countries to Canada, they did it in such a way that does some of these people no favours. How many years have we read stories about engineers and doctors driving cabs in Toronto from Pakistan, India or wherever? What was the point of screening for really bright people if you don't have a plan to give them the tools they need to use their skills you screened them FOR in Canada? There is no point in denying people the visa to come here for educational reasons if the smart guy you let in you then put in a cab because you wont pay to have his education verified and Canadianized. Might as well have taken the ditch digger...

It is why the Libreals never changed the prostitution laws when they were in office,

(Disclosure: I am a right of centre Liberal or a left of centre Conservative. But, I really dislike the LLL's.)

It was the Liberals who stopped making criminals of homos. It was also the Liberals who legalized gay marriages. So, I trust the Liberals a lot more on sex than the Tories. If the Liberals ever gained a majority, I think the chances are good that they will stop making criminals of people engaged in consensual hetero sex behind closed doors, regardless of whether money or beaver pelts changed hands.

To paraphase then Justice Minister John Turner when he tabled a bill to legalize homo sex. "You might find it immoral, distastful, disgusting, even repungant but that is not sufficient to make it criminal." The same can be said for consenual adult private hetero sex.

Edit: The minority Conservative government has already raised the age of consent from 14 to 16. If they ever gain a majority they will probably raise the age of consent to 95 unless you are in a legal hetero (not homo) marriage.

We have the same RRRs (Religious Right Retards) down here who are pretty much trying do the same.....while chasing little boys and each other in airport washrooms stalls doing the 'wide stance'.....



The problems we face today will not be solved by the minds that created them

 

[WoodPeckr]

One of the top three hottest Parliamentarians in Canada.

WTF!
Checked her out and she is smokin' hot, even hotter than ditzy Sarah!...

Gee.... Mulroney was in power, never touched the sexual consent rules. As for changing it for the teenagers, he changed it so the cops would have a better grip on what qualifies as sexual abuse when it comes to teens. If you have a 13 year old daughter, you look me in the eye and tell me you want to have it legal for a 18 year old to get coming to get some.

The laws concerning prostitution in this country basically are there to catch the really stupid, or the really blatant. This board, and a lot of the women who advertise on it is evidence that the current laws do work? Why? Simple, street prostitution and open pandering is not going to be tolerated. It isn't the Conservative in me saying that, it is just a fact of our society at large. That said, many women still are in the "hobby" making money. The paper runs ads for them, and the cops do not bother them now do they? So why would Harper burn political capital up on something that will not get him any more votes or any more love from the populace at large?

What you have to remember is any politician, whether it be Libreal or Conservative is elected with a finite shelf life and only so much political capital. There are about 100 more pressing things on the todo lists of people walking into the PM's office than clamping down on prostitution. It is illegal on the street, and it is illegal to openly hang a shingle out saying you are running a brothel. That said, if you are discreet and smart, you can do just fine. Sort of a Darwin's theory brought to the sex industry. Those who say Harper would outlaw all but martial sex are just demogoging because they know he is a threat to take power and they don't like it. Have a good reason, not a made up one. Believe me, if he starts clamping down on the sex industry, I might become a Libreal in a hurry, and I will phone my MP reminding him that we have more important things to do with our country. I suspect tho, I will never make that phone call...because I wont have to.

the Liberals got the label party of the immigrant under Trudeau, he changed the immigration laws and brought in the points system.

That swung the immigrant influx from Europeans mostly with skilled trades to third world immigrants without the need to prove a skill or benefit to Canada beyond arriving. The refugee guidlines were also loosened during this period.

The bottom line was that for some reason all the immigrants tended to settle in Toronto , Montreal and Vancover. That changed the voting balancec in Toronto from Torie Blue to Liberal over the span of 10 years or so.

Unfortunatly for all the good that has come out of the immigration of newcommers to Canada it has also brought problems and oportunists to take advantage of the situations( immigration consultants) .

The bill that is causing all the fuss from Miss Dahla is a wrong headed move allow anybody over the age of 65 who is a landed immigrant to collect government benefits whether they paid into the fund or not . All in the name of fairness of course.

The bill would benefit mainly family members who were sponsored to emmigrate. Notably members of Miss Dahla's constituancy.

The way the act reads now the sponsor is responsible for the financial wellbeing of the sponsored. This act would remove that onus. That is a bad thing

This is generally true but "we" exist only at the whim of the politicians and LE and not protected in law. One bad incident could put you in jail, ruin your career and marriage.

The "young" Stephen Harper worries me. Maybe he has matured in the PM job and is more open minded to other lifestyles.

The fact that a Vic Toew could have been Justice Minister is worrisome. Stockwell Day still worries me if the Tories ever gain a majority.

Wild-ass speculation.

The age of consent law applies to someone having sex with an adult. Fourteen year olds can still have sex with 19 year olds

From the CBC website

It is now illegal for adults in Canada to have sex with a partner under the age of 16, one of the new provisions of the Tories' violent crime law that came into effect on Thursday.

The Tackling Violent Crime Act raises the legal age of sexual consent in Canada to 16 from 14, the first time it has been raised since 1892.

But the law includes a "close-in-age exception," meaning 14- and 15-year-olds can have sex with someone who is less than five years older.

Anyone you thinks that its perfectly ok for a 25 or 35 year old to have sex with a 14 year old is a bit bent in my opinion. Anyone who thinks this is a reason to vote one party over another should do us all a favour and look for other issues to base a decision or just not vote.

BTW these limits are similar to Australia and the UK.

Raising the age of consent to 16 is fine in my opinion as long as it is not the "thin edge of the wedge". Of all the political parties, I trust the Conservatives the least on respecting sexual human rights. I would never trust them with a majority with folks like Stockwell Day and Vic Toew. On the other hand, I am fine with a minority Conservative government as we have the Liberals and the NDP to keep them somewhat in check.

If raising the age to 16 is fine then the rest is pure unsubstantantiated speculation. I would not support more restrictive laws and am entirely in favour of removing the remaining hypocracy. I do however plan to vote based hard evidence and not blind supposition. Don't forget that Stockwell Day has been rejected by a majority of Conservatives as a leader and policy maker.

 

[OddSox]

The conservatives have already held a free parliamentary vote on the issue of same-sex marriage, which is more democratic than anything the Liberals did on it.

And this business of all the evil things that they will do if they get a majority? Do you really believe that once in power they would do everything they could to get voted out at the next opportunity? Come on.

 

[landscaper]

ahh yes the power of the unsubstantiated rumour, backed of course by an advertising budget.

this has been a staple of political parties for ever. The liberals raised it to an art form
