Oh, good. So you do believe the charge of contempt is true. You just don't like they were made accountable this time.

A: Dennis_F: Trumped up contempt charges

B: Dennis_F:"the Harper government then proceeded to provide the documents on the F35 and other issues."

Seems to me, providing the documents was an acknowledgement that they were in contempt. If not, why did they then provide them?

Which is it, Dennis, A or B? Are the charges 'trumped up", or were they in contempt?

"There is no way..."

If the Conservatives do not win a majority, then presumably "Canadians" are not convinced that he is running a competent government,

In which case, I suppose there is a way that Canadians might want an alternate form than you aspire to.

What exactly do voters want, then? Because, about 60% of them don't seem to want the Conservatives, either.

I think back to yesterday's comment from someone saying we don't need another civics lesson and again suggest that maybe we do.

The nonsense being pushed out by Mr. Harper and his supporters is just extraordinary.

Are Conservative bills passed with only the support of the BQ legitimate?

I said that was my position on abortion. I thought you were a wordsmith....

In regards to all terrible things...

If it was your decision, would you send Canadian troops to Libya, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and any number of other countries to stop the terrible things from happening there?

Why are you so judgmental? Why are you trying to put words in my mouth?

I said I don't think abortion is OK; I said it is a terrible thing. So, how can you suggest that I think all those other things are OK?

No, I don't believe that abortion is OK. I think it is sad and tragic. However, I know that there are sad and desperate circumstances that make abortion a likely outcome. I wish it were not so. I am not, however, going to impose my sense of morality on everyone else. I am not in their shoes; I am prepared to leave the decision to them.

You certainly are willing to sit in judgment. You have made a decision and judged me in your comments.

I do think that abortion is a terrible thing. I wish that it never happened. However, I am not willing to impose my will on others who are making a terribly difficult decision. I would hope that they at least get counselling on the decision before doing it.
