“Voter fraud is becoming common place in our world today. How do you think Bush won the last two elections ? This corrupt method would be Harper’s best option to form a majority government.”
“democracy is great, eh? instead of being the open, clean method of selecting a leader by the people, it has instead become the back door, financially controlled, favor begging, police enforced form of leadership often criticized in non-democratic nations.
no doubt, some genius will write in claiming that they “just aren’t ready for democracy” instead of realizing that our egocentric way of defining the world is often flawed. democracy (especially when there are only two parties) is the perfect setting for a civil war or an assassination. when there is only half of the people who vote actually being represented and half hating the newly elected leader, the split becomes a divide.

“The disagreement over how to exploit natural resources is usually hotly debated.
We’ve found in Canada, that the government is generally too inefficient to turn a profit (except from taxes
).
So, the government lets the private sector have the rights to exploit the natural resources. The reasoning is that the province (or country) gets a royalty cut. But also gets the revenue from the income tax on the high-paying jobs that go with resource extraction.
That’s the situation with alberta. Alberta gets a 20% royalty, and the feds get some awesome revenue from the income of the employees.”
