Well copyied Steam Driven.
Personaly I have lived in Norway ,Australia and the Good ole US of A..all these countries enjoy one common denominator..you guessed it ...mortgage right off...in fact Norway...up there with Sweden as far as socialistic taxation goes...encourages one to borrow..that's right, you want a new Mercedes?...right it off..mortgage,,,goes without saying...Welcome to CANADA...arr

..and to add to Steam Driven's arguement. I'll pay less in REAL taxes in, say Austria, AND...AND have a far better lifestyle. I'll get a MINIMUM of 5 weeks off per year, superior health care, 16 stat days per year etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

It seems our tax dollars do not get very far--unless your a government crony--Liberal or otherwise-they're all the same in my book.

Shouldn't you be studying McDoo? Haven't you got a date with a training Capt. tomorrow?

Perhaps we'll quaff a Guinness in Medazona while we watch the Flames and the Lightning...

Back to the top you go!

[tsgas]

I'd like to vote for Steam Driven

[rattler]

By the results of the poll it seems that only conservatives use this forum....

<<"Where the hell is the Rhino Party in that Poll!!!! Lets give each province a Rocky Mountain and Sink Newfoundland!!!! >>

Sink Newfoundland! Why we could send you one of our massive Icebergs and just allow it to melt in a warm chinook wind and wash you all away.

[Sky High]

I'ld vote Rhino in a second.. I think it's time to resurrect the party.

[handyman]

Top-side again. Let's see how many voters we can get.

[Steam Driven]

Conservatives still solidly out front... 4 weeks of promises and denials...

[Tango Foxtrot]

As above, back to the top, we need more votes.

Tony!

[rattler]

This pole is just like the real thing. Only 377 votes out of a possible 3000 or so.

[Innuendo]

Definitely the Rhino party. Their platform includes the promise, that if elected, the first thing they will do is ask for a recount.
I like their priorities.

[CFV2]

I remember an old Rhino Party campaign promise that they were going to change our highways over, so we'd drive on the opposite side like they do in the UK.....

..... But they'd phase it in. Trucks would start driving on the opposite side first, cars and vans second, and finally motorcycles and such......

Know what kids... doesn't matter who you vote for... just get off your arses and take the time to VOTE!!

[sustainable]

This sums it up much better than I could.

I see that the old guard of reform has shown it's red neck once again in our new so called Conservative Party and Harper is once again trying to distance himself from the comments made in this case by a female in his party who claimed that abortion was the same as the beheading of that young American that was captured on tape. When the hell are these peoiple going to learn that the majority of this country is not one bit interested in their "Southern Baptist " style preachings.

Don't get me wrong, I'm neither pro nor anti abortion, I think each case should be decided on it's merit and this decision is strictly beteween a woman and her conscience with perhaps some input from her doctor. The state, especially when being influenced by some bloody special interest group, has or at least should have no freakin' say in the matter. the only responsibility the state has is should the woman choose to have an abortion, then she should be able to have this procedure done in a safe and sterile environment rather than the back alley fashion it used to take place in.

Some of these "Pro-Life" redneck organisations think nothing of killing the odd doctor and perhaps his entire staff, not to mention the pregnant women attending in some cases to simply get advice on alternatives to the procedure, by planting a bomb in a clinic.

What's that, three, or is it four of these jerks that have crawled out of the woodwork of this new "Conservative" bunch in recent times, two or three of whom have been asked to resign for making the party look bad.

It's all a load of bollocks in my view and as far as I'm concerned this is simply the same old semi facist group formerly know as "Reform".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not boosting the Liberals or the NDP either, cos I believe they are all a bunch of self serving sociopaths regardless of which banner they fly. They'd all sell their mothers on the nearest street corner if it guaranteed them a chance to stick their noses in the trough that is the public purse.

I seem to recall some other Rhino election planks:

1) Encourage higher education by building taller schools

2) Expedite political reform by sending all politicians to reform school

[Steam Driven]

Ahh the Rhino Party. Some of their highlights...

Platform promises released by the Rhinoceros Party included:


repealing the law of gravity,


paving the province of Manitoba to create the world's largest parking lot,


instituting illiteracy as Canada's third official language,


tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset,


building sloping bicycle paths across the country so that Canadians could "coast from coast to coast",


annexing the United States, which would take its place as the third territory (after the Yukon and North-West Territories) in Canada's backyard, in order to raise the average national temperature,


breeding a mosquito that would only hatch in January so that "the little buggers will freeze to death",


turning Montreal's rue Ste-Catherine into the world's longest bowling alley,


selling the Canadian Senate at an antique auction in California,


painting Canada's coastal sea limits so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times,


counting the Thousand Islands to make sure none are missing,


banning lousy Canadian winters.

Check out the story from the last election.

Putting the "Party" back in party!
