Just an example - when I was on vacation recently there were a lot of people from Quebec at the same resort. When I looked at the hotel registry, under "country" they had all written "Quebec". The people from Ontario wrote "Canada". It's not a country but they think it is (or hope it will be someday).
And yes, the federal transfer payments are a joke and should stop. They want to stay, but still get paid as if they are independent.

The absoloute polarization of issues is why I am not a fan of party politics. Anybody who tells you they 100% back any party's position is either uninformed or a liar.
I am socialy liberal on most issues (healthcare, same sex marriage, abortion, marijuana decriminalization etc). I just want some restraint and accountability with my tax dollars, and some stiffer penalties for violent crime.
I am not entirely opposed to a minority government, or a strong opposition. It creates a more responsive and responsible government. One look at the pork barreling and outright fraud of the last majority governments (liberal and conservative) for evidence of that.
It is the idea of a non-elected seperatist backed coalition taking power that makes me rage.------♥♥-----

Same sex marriage non existent? Good. They can remain as "couples" I don't like government encouragement to make gays proud of themselves. They came out wrong, why influence them further?
If you're bisexual, under Liberal ideas you'll go gay. Under Conservative you'll go straight.
Oh and im 100% strong atheist.
Death penalty? Good, it's an ideal punishment for murderers.
And stop smoking weed *******, it's ruin your memory. lolz. Not a single f*k was given about weed.

@engj- im sure thats why 90% of people are voting conservative, it's just unfortunate that in order to get a solid economy we have to give up 60 years worth of rights
The government only legalized same-sex marriage because the courts have unanimously decided it's unconstitutional to deny gays the right to marry, but im sure you know better than they do.

If two ***els want to get married, and they can find a church to do so, great. It shouldn't be the gubments business to regulate marriage.
I'm still undecided on abortions. I'm not sure where I would draw the line, but as I see it now, a very early term abortion (while not a good thing) is something that should be allowed. When the pregnancy becomes another person is the part that is up for debate.
If someone wants to toke after work, that is their right. If someone wants to shoot heroin into their dick on a regular basis, that is their right.
Where it gets hazy is with social healthcare, social handout programs, and laws that make it increasingly hard for law abiding citizens to protect themselves.
I don't want to pay for the eventual mess that druggies become to receive healthcare, housing and food, and I want to be able to stop them from committing crimes against me that will eventually increase due to needing more money for drugs.
Death penalty, I'm hesitant on. One one hand, implemented properly, it could save taxpayers money from institutionalizing the most violent criminals for the rest of their life.
On the other, innocent people are going to get killed, and that is why I don't think it should be implemented.
I'm sure most true conservatives/libertarians agree with me on most of these subjects, and in my opinion thinking of the conservative party as a religious group looking to kill fun is pretty far from the truth.

lol @ gays getting married.
I'd much rather have some bending of the constitution than have more HIV spread. You make the choice. Same sex marriage on its own doesn't do much. It does however open up public support to gays saying "if you're gay, it's okay!"
Why do you want to live in a society where people are encouraged to put even MORE dicks in guys's rectum holes ??? Yet we wonder why the HIV rate ain't coming down much...
Stop supporting Gays. Send a message to all the bisexuals out there that you should go after pussy not dicks. I've known several dudes who joined our high school "gay club" even though they were bi's and went full on gay.
Aside from that. The death penalty needs to be sought only when there is extremely conclusive evidence. And in many cases, there is. Especially with the technology nowadays. Don't quote me cases from the 70s and compare them to now... we have infinite more technology now and false convictions are largely minimized.
But hey... we don't even have a real life sentence.. 25 years without parole is the absolute maximum. Let's first turn that into "no chance of parole" before discussing capital punishment...
Oh and I've never debated weed on bodybuilding.com wtf you talking about lil *******. lolz.

Quebec sovereignty was NEVER intended to be a Full separation, Economically Quebec would remain bound to ottawa, in terms of currency, trade and commerce. On all other aspects Quebec was suppose to be independent. I do not think most Canadians realize how much different Quebec is from the rest of the country and how much Canada would suffer if Quebec ever fully separates.
When people ask me where I am from I say Quebec and not Canada, and I am not even a native Quebecer (1/2 german, 1/2 russian). So please do not jump to conclusions without living here or knowing what this Province is about.

The key is implementing the death penalty properly. Reserve it for the worst. And use it effectively only when there is conclusive evidence. You don't seek it for every murder trial... you save it for the worst and use it when there is admittion of guilty/evidence that is not debatable. And there are cases like that...

yes because there is a clear correlation between HIV rates and gay marriage rates. why dont we start bending the law and just killing them off
gays are going to be gay regardless, refusing them marriage isnt going to convert them. And if anything its the media that fosters gays, not the government
Aside from that. The death penalty needs to be sought only when there is extremely conclusive evidence. And in many cases, there is. Especially with the technology nowadays.

Oh and I've never debated weed on bodybuilding.com wtf you talking about lil *******. lolz.
and the problem becomes what constitutes 100% conclusive evidence
we cant kill one person and spare another for committing the exact same crime
i can agree with you on no parole though, even though you are a lil *******. lolz."Decided to burn a lot of calories today. So I set a fat kid on fire"

If Quebec's economy is so important why did they suck up 8 billion in federal transfer payments each of the last 2 years? Why do they produce less GDP per capita than Aberta, Newfoundland, British Columbia, Ontario, or Saskatchewan?
Alberta and British Columbia has more population (8 million), and are the economic engine that drives this country, and has less federal representation than your welfare state.
You have less population, contribute less financially, and still have an enormous sense of entitlement about how you make Canada's decisions.
You guys bitch Harper doesn't give a sh*t about Quebec? Why should he? Neither does the rest of the country. At least the balance is starting to shift.------♥♥-----

It's about sending a message that's it's not so good to be gay. Gay marriage is another one of those things which make up a large number of other things that influence gays to be proud of their homosexuality.
Pleading guilty is one thing that constitutes capital punishement for 1st degree murder.
Large numbers of murder cases are not candidates for capital punishment as the evidence is not 100% but is rather very close to. The person is without a doubt guilty, but would you bet everything on it? Not quite.
And there was cases when there is simply enough evidence that the death penalty simply makes sense. Looks up murder trials yourself.
And you clearly don't know much about law if you think punishments are all equal for the same crime... One person will get 23 years of no parole and another will get only 10 for 2nd degree murder. One person will get 8 years another will get 3. That's how it always has been and will be.

Those cases come form the 70s and 80s not 21st century trials.
Also, plenty of people plead guilty for 1st degree murder over a length period of time. And it was an example of when it should be used. There have been tons of cases where evidence was at a level where a monkey could pick out who was guilty and be correct.

If that is what you got from my posts, then please don't vote. You are not qualified.
If I seem madder about this than I should, it's because I have been following Canadian politics since I was first eligible to vote 16 years ago. I just get tired of a new generation with the same old brainwashing.------♥♥-----
