Here is a topic that should interest the board.

Ladies, please cast your vote and make them count.

Everyone must vote - this is a very important vote in our history. Please, make sure Harper and his PC slugs do not get another term. Hell, I'll even vote the Bloc instead of him. I'm worried about the prairies though. They seem to not understand. Anyone still undecided, make your local vote count. Harper decided to ignore the Supreme Court Decision to strike down the Prostitution laws, which made it even worse. No one is safe with the PC in Power. Please, I beg you.

So, Harper is saying he'll set up a special RCMP unit in Vancouver to focus on the sex trade and trafficking. But, Vancouver is not policed by the RCMP. It has its own police force. Does anyone have any insight as to how this would work, or whether it would work?

And for those Conservative voters on the board, do you still think it is a good idea to vote Harper back in?

Presumably the RCMP special task force would be because the VPD refuses to enforce this law. They can have jurisdiction to operate in Vancouver on Federal matters, and I could see them construing this as a Federal matter.

p.s. These aren't the PCs. The PCs were never this extreme. That's what the "P" was for... Progressive. That part died when the Reform Party took control.

 

[westwoody]

Criminal Code enforcement is justification enough. RCMP already do lots in Vancouver, CLEU, IHIT, federal policing.

Harper knows he is wrong about prostitution. Just like he knows his claim about marijuana is wrong. He doesn't care. He will say anything that gets votes.

Tories know their audience and play to that audience. Notice he doesn't even bother discussing First Nations issues: they are a statistically insignificant demographic to him.

Couldn't be more relevant today as it was then. I'm off to the advance polling station. Don't hit your head on the way out Stephen...

Even vote for the BLOC huh?Pretty had to do from Victoria BC considering the BLOC only represents Quebec and thusly your statement only represents ignorance.

Several months ago I predicted that Harper would create a sexual police force to enforce this bill that he created recently and that came into effect on December 6. many of you wrote back and said I was crazy. Now we have the announcement I think it's fair to say that this act of providing sexual services for consideration is not just about prostitution but rather it's about the whole promiscuity issue in Canada itself and its attempt of Harper to enforce his moral code upon all Canadians! We need to get out and vote this election to get rid of him or we will have sexual police at our airports in our hotels on walking the streets to make sure that nobody has sex unless they're married and that certainly they're not buying somebody supper giving out sticks of gum or smiling the right way at another person and getting sex in return. I think it's very important that all the service providers on this board and anybody who is associated with this board and knows the subject gets out and votes for anybody but Harper

There is great concern in the community right now that every vote counts it certainly does. I knew people who flew back from Thailand and other Asian countries to vote when you Quebec threatened to separate many years ago that was a very close election. Those people who took the time to come back and vote made a significant difference in Canada's history. If you thought of not voting don't think that way! Get out and vote . It's been well proven your vote will count in this election will be one place that can make a very significant difference to get rid of Harper. We need to get our freedoms back in this country we need to reestablish the supremacy of the Supreme Court please I beg you get out and vote

Voted this afternoon, the line up was about 1/2 an hour at my advance polling station. Talked to a seniors couple right behind me who have voted in every single federal election since MacKenzie King. Much to my surprise, they told me they were voting the Liberals. I asked them why as the Cons appear to be the best bet for seniors. What they said just made me respect them so much. They said: young man (I'm in my 40's), we don't know how many elections we have left between us but we don't approve of Harper's divisive policies. Being a Canadian is for life, after all, we or our forefather all came from somewhere else. He can try to buy our votes but we think we have enough to live on comfortably without his bribes. I was almost moved to tears and could only muster a weak thank you before it was my turn at the booth.

I voted and it certainly wasn't for the Conservs. And there you have it

 

[apl16]

Hmmm. Not sure what would make you think the cons are good for seniors. Tfsa and income splitting are the advertised things good for seniors. These things are only useful for the wealthy.

Ignorance of the issues is the greatest challenge of this election.

 

[hornygandalf]

... Ignorance of the issues is the greatest challenge of this election.

Particularly evident when the suggestion that introduction of a "barbaric cultural practices" or whatever it was hotline is touted as a policy by the party in power and it supposedly moves up the polls as a result. That is a disgusting and very sad comment on Canada if that is allowed to continue. I would hope it would galvanize voters to get rid of the current incumbent as a total embarrassment to Canada... and if anyone should be stripped of his passport and shipped out, it is probably him... or does he consider himself to be one of those so called 'old-stock' Canadians... though the only people I think have any right to that label are the indigenous peoples of Canada.

 

[Equity Market investor]

Personally, I do believe Harp and gang will not win this coming election. You read it everywhere that people want change
Especially, in social media where it's clear as glass. I think the Liberals will win, but sadly it will be another non - majority win.

However, even if it is a non - majority victory by the Libs or the NDP, it will be enough not to enforce bill C-36 to the max.

Did you not hear about the tax credit proposed for single seniors?

I agree about the ignorance part...

Once again, a CON is unable to read nuance. Calling her "ignorant" because you interpreted her comment wrongly (she obviously doesn't plan to vote for the Bloc...you are supposed to read into her comment the "If I lived in a riding where that would stop Harper..." part) is not very nice. But, like the rest of the Cons' observations, your comment shows that you can only see in black and white.

 

[westwoody]

Seniors love Harper. My buddy's mom thinks he is great. All the nonsense he spouts is tailored to her demographic.
Fear of anyone different, dislike of people not speaking English in public, dislike of change, distrust of young people ie Trudeau.
She loves Harper's steady monotone delivery, the content is irrelevant. She hates Mulcair's ranting and dishevelled look. Trudeau is a nice young fellow but too young. Note that she completely disregards all the policies and platforms of everyone. Hate to say it but a lot of people are like that. They see Harper as a stern but reasonable father figure who will look after everything.
Old people as a group are ideologically conservative and are a growing demographic.

TFSA is a good thing. I am not wealthy but I think it is better than an RRSP. Off topic though so I won't say any more.

That is the other reason why that senior couple I met at the advanced poll are my new heroes. They made me feel so Canadian, on par with my citizenship ceremony, the day I spent in the 1993 Habs Stanley Cup parade, the day I voted in the Quebec secession referendum and the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

I think the ultra conservative evangelical Christian dogma that Harper follows has slowly seeped thru into his policies. That may work somewhat in the US but not as much in Canada. I think that more and more Canadians are beginning to see that, hence, the anything but Harper movement.

 

[westwoody]

I hope you are right Wilde.
Too many people vote without any serious thought. How sad that instead of discussing the economy, trade deals, the environment, Harper has focussed people's attention on the niqab...one single woman's veil.
The TPP could affect every single person on this board. And it gets about five percent of the coverage of that niqab.

 

[wilde]

Re the TPP, from what I have read it'll kill off what's left of the auto industry in Ontario
