Actually his first name is Osama. That would be OBL.

Thanks for the fresh breath of air hth. It's always good to see cross party sympathy and support in a culture charged with partisanship.

It's always fun having our little dithering dramas put into perspective by other countries.

Oh I misunderstood your intent. Yes I agree that we should be taken care of in the sense of keeping us from being ripped off. I just think that coddling the countries citizens is the wrong way to go.

The point is that you CAN'T do both. You can't drive up the price of manufacturing in this country with various green taxes and then expect these companies and corporations to move their factories back to Canada because it's the nice thing to do. The Greens are shooting for the stars without any bother to a plan.

Actually the way it should work in a democracy is everybody looking after themselves, with the government helping by providing some services. Since things don't always work out that way some compromise must be made. Even still, it's not the government's job to take care of us and make decisions for us.

In the end, more food is still produced. The only reason we can feed 6.5 billion people to any extent is because of the mass reliance on commercial farming. If we relied completely on traditional farming we would only have enough food for 4 billion.

When did I say that people need to move anywhere? I said the system needs to be removed, not the people. No more siphoning money into corrupt band leaders while the people go without clean drinking water. More then half the complaints about corruption on reserves that I have heard have come from the people living there.

While the Green Party is most certainly not a single platform party, they are definitely what could be called a scattered platform party. Each planned policy seems nearly unrelated to the next, and there appears to be no solid direction on anything beyond eco-consciousness.

Making manufacturing more expensive while hoping that more companies will move factory jobs back to Canada? One or the other people!
