The Best TV Drama on television bar none!

[Ms. Sexy Sexy]

Has anyone been watching the any of the Standing Committees on Public Accounts on CPAC? Public Accounts of our money being spent by 'the old regime'.

Wow ! It sure shows what state our? country is in? (actually it's not 'our' country, it's the bureaucrats of the 'old regime' and their friends country, it doesn't belong to us because they make the rules and break the rules, FYI).

And if you don't VOTE you definately are not part of CANADA. You are a visitor, worth NOTHING, ! (except 73 % of your hard earned $$ you have to pay to 'them", not my calculation, that of an accountant. My calculation was only 70%, but he corrected that)

What goes on behind the scenes is SHOCKING

What the 'old regime' who were in for 13 years the last time has done to our country is stomach turning.

The corruption, the lies, the secrets, the pay-offs, etc, etc, etc, is better than any other drama on TV you could possibly watch.

Channel 82 on Shaw.

Watch and be moved, (hopefully into action)

Thank you to all the 'Whistleblowers' in and out of the government who have not tolerated the biggest swindle on the Canadian public.

Thank you Prime Minister Harper for investigating much of the corruption of the 'old regime' ! You're the best !

I haven't seen the show, but the unfortunate truth is that if you think corruption and incompetence is only related to one party you're in for a rude awaking. The fact is given the size of government and appeasing speacial interest groups all governments need to get elected, it's never going to go away. The best that can be hoped for is to reduce the degree in which it exists.

It's not a 'show'. CPAC is a television staion that we pay for as part of our taxes. It shows what happens in Ottawa.

I don't think corruption and incompetance is only related to one party.

But I do see, from watching CPAC, that we had a terrible dictator in power from a certain party who would stop at nothing to get his ends met. Everyone, even in his party, was afraid of him and bowed to his demands or risk losing his job. Watch CPAC for yourself and see the evidence and hear the witnesses on C-P-A-C !!!

I see Harper as the least of all evils. I am not naive ! !

Chretien was a crooked old bastard, but he had the brains to keep us out of Iraq. My biggest beef with Harper is still his appalling lack of judgement when he insisted we should join "The Coalition of the Willing" and jump in there with our southern neighbours.

I WISH WE HAD THIS IN THE UNITED STATES! CANADA HAS ACCOUNTABILITY TO ITS CITIZENS. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT.

Unfortunitly, I haven't the time to watch the show regularily, but have in the past and it does provide a good insight into the state of affairs. It is surprising to see just what IS going on.

The libs and the powers that back them have structured the system so well, that it will be quite a while to uncover it all.

I was most disgusted by the performance of John C, during the Gomery inquiry, however it show the contempt he really had for the people of Canada. While Martin, started the inquiry -- he did little to clean the place up. It shows just how much power the 'behind the scenes guys' have (had).I hope people don't forget it for the next few elections, and then I hope the Cons take note as well and don't fall in the trap.

I agree given the choices we have, Harper is the best choice, and what is surprising is just how much 'balls' he has to do things. Layton, & Dion aren't even close. Ducept (sp) has a lot more common sense than those 2.

If any one who even follows the news (let alone CPAC) doesn't vote, in my view deserve the consequences.

Ahhhh politics, at any level, can either a very interesting study, or a terribly depressing one
But like you said,

 

[littlejimbigher]

It doesn't matter who is PM. After a short time they become corupted as the do anything to stay in power.

Same with provincial politics. Look at the raises the BC MLA's just gave themselves. And even more piggy-like were the pensions the gave themselves.

It's plain to anyone that Harper is as much of a party dictator as Chretien was. And both men are shamefully ultra partisan. Too much time is spent on parties lambasting the others, which the public really doesn't give much credence to, and too little time addressing the issues on which MPs are elected. Deceit, misrepresentation, gross incompetence and corruption has already surfaced in the Conservative government, even in its so short history. So what's new about that.

As for the public trough, all political colours merge into yellow as personal greed overcomes any indications of noble dedication to service of the public good. There's nothing wrong with MPs and MPPs receiving a fair salary, expenses and even pension, but with the temptation of covering expenditures through taxpayers' forced generosity, well.... you know where this is going, eh?

I like how you said that. The interesting thing is thatwe have all the MPs who are really there for one purpose, to vote along the party line. So why have them? Lets cut the numbers by half and we'll only have to pay 1/2 the pensions.

And that's another thing, where anywhere can to get elected for 2 terms and leave with a FULL pension. Tell me of any other person who gets that after 8 years of service.

Its a very poor system that we have here, and the sad thing is that its better then most.

 

[nube]

Actually I think you are.

CPAC or not you don't appear to understand how the political system works. Basically we have three or four parties significant parties each with a leader. Whoever wins the most seats in an election governs. If that party has the majority that party can pretty much dictate the agenda and almost any legislation is assured to be passed, this is almost the very defination of a dictatorship. Fortunately for us, we've had belevelont dictators up until now. What inheritantly makes Harper not part of this process?

Yes that is the system as i said in my earlier post, everyone votes the party line. Having said that does it mean that a minority government is the answer??

BTW I think Ms Sexy sexy does have a handle on the political system, better then than most of the canadian voters and she's certainly not naive.

 

[nube]

I don't really think she's naive either, but to say Harper is the least of all evils, is a pretty baseless opinion to have given the circumstances. (A) he hasn't been in power long enough to assess him on that level, and (B) he has a minority government so the system itself is protecting us against whatever policies he may have that are beyond what two parties need to agree to.

I'm not saying he's a bad PM and I'm personally quite impressed with what he's done to date, but it's far to early to know how things really are (ie things have a habit of coming out of the closet) and we really don't know how he would govern if the reigns of a minority government lifted.

I agree with you, I suspect Ms S was being general, and given the other party leaders out there he is the lesser evil - The likes of Layton and /or Dion really do make me wonder why, with all the intelligent people in Canada, do we end up with having those choices.

I voted for Stevie, mostly because the Libs deserve to sit on the bench for a while, a long while, and Layton well I don't think he even deserves his seat. BUT seeing how Stevie has mastered quite well, even with a minority, I am starting to have much more respect for him, but then again I also liked King - shoot from the hip and tell it like it is - Ralph.

Err, the lib's passed the motion to send troops prior to the pc minority win.

Completely wrong. You might be thinking about Afghanistan, but Chretien kept us out of Iraq (against Stephen Harper's indignant opposition).

Weelll, she DID say he was the lesser of the evils.....

 

[ronnyraygun]

Quite correct Hank

Completely wrong. You might be thinking about Afghanistan, but Chretien kept us out of Iraq (against Stephen Harper's indignant opposition).

however, strange that once the libs were out of power, they forgot who sent them in the first plac
