Canada: New Conservative government avoids real questions
    #5699392 - 06/01/06 12:17 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Only a few months into their narrow mandate, the Conservatives have set about altering this country with things like Senate reform, mandatory minimums for a variety of offences, fixed election dates, a bigger role for the military, tax cuts for the rich, tax hikes for the poor, cancelling the previous Liberal government's universal day-care program etc etc etc.

Now this.
With the elite making the decisions for a docile, dim-witted public, who needs the media — except to type down the Prime Minister's words?

press gallery members say the system gives the Prime Minister the opportunity to "cherry pick" reporters from the list, suggesting the Prime Minister avoids answering questions from more critical reporters.

Good.

Bad.

Good, Good, Good, I doubt that they really want "tax hikes for the poor", it's probably liberal language for "not letting people get a free ride", so I'll say good on that one too.

Good again.

My list of quesitons

1) Don't you think that freedom of speech is a right for all humans, if so, why don't you make legislation that demonstrates that

2) Don't you think that firearm possession is a right for all humans, if so, why not make legislation that demonstrates that

etc etc.
