And this is surprising? Transparency and accountability are foreign concepts to most of the political class.
Sure do make nice buzzwords and talking points, though.
Since when are secret meetings and back-room deals not part of a democracy, though?
Like...is there some utopian point in the history of democracy on the whole that one might pinpoint as lacking these things? A "golden age" or so-to-speak?
I thought not.... See More
Can we move on, then? And say...cut out the pretenses, and bullpucky of "what should be"...and perhaps instead deal with what is?
The world is not, and will never be this ideal place we keep reaching for. Human beings are imperfect, and as such, any society we create and live in will be at least equally imperfect.
Start from that point. It's fresher.

As for the incumbents, more voter apathy is exactly what they want, sadly. Disillusionment of the vote they cannot buy is far easier than actually working to sway that vote.

Believe me I tried - big time - before I gave up in disgust. Not one reply - except to ask for more money. I really thought Elizabeth was into saying it as it is. But she prefers to sell her soul to get a couple of votes in Quebec instead.

you will NEVER win a federal election without the support of the province of quebec and south ontario. IF the Bloq party of canada disbanded.. then you would see fireworks to getting those votes and seats. Chrietien was a smart leader when the Bloq started to get big in quebec. He pushed a lot of immigrants into those areas.. knowing they would NOT vote to seperate from a country they just moved to.

glad to see some others agree that the private tapes are non issue and the partisan attacks on this is sickenly hypocritical.Having 50% of the world's medical isotopes come from a 50 yr old nuclear reactor is an international precarious position, and in this case agree with the notion that other nations need to step up.

i agree they are a non issue. put yourself in the same situation at your job... what would you think or do then? The REAL problem here is keeping a nuclear reactor running just to produce isotopes. The Liberals and Conservatives have been in power and none have done anything to solve or plan for this reactor to go offline over its 50 yr ... See Moreexsistant. Can anyone in Canada please stand up and start to think 40 years in the future and plan for it. our govts should have had a plan to BAN tobaco years ago. They should have planned for an aging population that will need more health care. My worry is that they will keep this reactor going until it causes a major disaster.

ummmm what language issues in quebec? you mean the one where no english is allowed on signs? or the one where non-french speaking quebecers can advertise their business to other NON french speaking quebecers? sorry i am from alberta and have always been disgusted by having french rammed down my throat.
