Oh yeaahh, it's about time we got a new party in office. After 13 years of Liberal government I was so looking forward to a Conservative Government. Anyways thought you all would like to know that we finally got the corruption out of office for now. Justice has to an extent been served, and with this new government we will uncover more of the wrong doing that went on during the Liberal government. We will also see some changes in relations with the US as the Conservatives have always been more mature when it comes to working with our allies. But there will not be Canadian troops going to Iraq.

well the PC's are going to have to be co-operative with the other parties, or its another election sooner then you would expect.

I am not exactly thrilled considering this is the same man who called the maritimes a "Place with a defeatist mindset" ........ personally I think the guy is a D*ckhole.

It's actually The Conservative Party of Canada, not the PC's. They are gone.

And considering the alternative of Paul Martin who approved an ad which directly insulted all of us soldiers well I'm glad they didn't get back in. We're all just gonna have to move on from past insults and let the parliament work together. I don't think most Canadians want another election very soon.

It was just the liberals time to get out. No party should be allowed to steal over 300 million dollars from taxpayers and get away with forming a government. Its called Justice.

Well, the fact they are going to court and going after the money, I think they handled that pretty well, and you have to remember, it was all the french SOB's from quebec that were involved.

The only thing I didn't like about the way they handled it, Chretien should have been hung from a tree in public just to show quebec the fate that awaits it.

"Show Quebec the fate that awaits it"....with guys like you no wonder the Bloc Quebecois got 51 seats.:)

So the liberal party trying to go to court and to get justice is supposed to comfort the rest of us? What you are saying is that a party, only once it was caught, is now trying to deal its own punishment for the crime of theft from the public purse. The only real punishment can and has come down from the electorate. Liberals needed a time out to fix their internal problems.

Also the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts never got to complete its work. This was the Parliamentary commitee appointed to determine who created the sponsorship program, whether ministers and bureaucrats followed parliamentary rules in conducting the program and whether politicians broke the law. It was shut down by the liberal majority on the commitee at the time. I wonder why. Now that there is a new government this commitee will most likely continue to do its job and find all those who were responsible.

I don't know about you, but when a political party steals my tax money and uses it for its own designs, I get angry. I also want the government to get to the bottom of the scandal, and believe me we haven't yet reached the end of this.

Here are Gomrey's findings. Note that at the bottom it says

The refusal of Ministers, senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office and public servants to acknowledge their responsibility for the problems of mismanagement that occurred.

Now that they are no longer the government we will REALLY get to the bottom of this scandal and find all those who were responsible.

Also I am quite aware that the majority of those determined to be involved so far, are either from Quebec or were elected there. However, that is no excuse for the party to which they belonged. The fact remains that the Liberal party's actions with this program has damaged the face of federalism in Quebec and had driven up support for the Bloc. Thankfully the Conservative party gained 10 seats in that province and is poised to restore hope in federalism in la belle province.

Congrats:D

Congrats:D

Thanks, no more handgun ban nor long gun registry that doesn't work. Just the plain old gun registration and laws we have had for generations.

[ed316]

Congrats to the Conservative and let's work on our relations

It's a minority government, which means that it will have a very difficult time abolishing the existing gun regestry.

Think about it...the NDP will certainly NOT vote for the registry to be abolished since they are extreme left-wing. The liberals won't either since they are the ones that made the damned thing. And the Bloc? Who knows , maybe just to piss of the liberals they would vote for the gun registry to be abolished...then again Quebec is very leftist so I don't know.

Since the liberals now will most likely get a chance to have some real free votes we will see some of their MPs voting to abolish it. As well as the bloc and you have the support you need in Parliament to get rid of the thing.

It has cost over 2 billion when is was only supposed to cost 2 million and it doesn't even work to help curb gun crime. Everyone knows that in Parliament and that is why I am confident it will go the way of the dinosaur.

and you have to remember, it was all the french SOB's from quebec that were involved.



yeah all because they were french. of couse. no doubt.

I was watching C-Span last night and was watching the BQ leader saying that the election results are a step toward soverienty, can't believe they are still at it after all these years

I am aware of the name change, im just a creature of habit ;)

[Bombtrack]

@ ed316, there will always be sovereigntist feelings in Quebec, historically its never dropped below 35% i think
so in different circumstances over time it will rise and fall but never go away, theres also sovereigntists in Newfoundland, BC, Alberta, and when we became a nation, Nova Scotia mourned at being part of Canada

[Resevoir Hogs]

Just as long as its a habit you can break and not an intentional shot the the Conservative Party. I've had to sit through too many lectures with profs calling the current Conservative Party the Alliance Party or the PCs. Trying to make it seem as if they are still the right wing nuts from days gone past. Just a peve of mine.

I wonder if they all break apart how would they be able to sustain their "country" in the long run?

I dunno this country has been through some really tough issues before. But I know that the majority of all Canadians know we are better off together. This current thing with Quebec is a result of our former government's scandals in the province. Bloc and Seperatist support will wain when Quebecer's realise that the Conservative party's brand of federalism is something they can get behind.

I remember when people were saying the CPC wouldn't win one seat in Quebec. Then the best estimates became maybe 3 to 4 seats for them. Now we see the reality which gives them 10 seats in Quebec.

Btw what is your avatar from ed?

This government has representations in all our 10 provinces and it will show all Canadians that there is a better standard to which our government can be held to.

Yeah, these are the most important things a government has to do. :cantbeli:

[Resevoir Hogs]

Stoping the flow over billions of dollars to a program that has been shown to not work is pretty damb important. Or maybe you prefer to spend upwards of 2 billion on programs who have no end price in sight and are ineffective at combating gun crime. When the liberals first proposed that long gun registry it was supposed to cost 2 million. Now it has already eatten away 2 BILLION.

Frankly that money can be put towards health care and infrastructure and be far better used that way. Or towards police funding and social programs to both get criminals off the streets and give young people other options than crime for a pass time and way of life.

Also a Conservative government would be spending $1.8 billion more per year than the Liberals on defence. Now that is money well spent and could come dirrectly from this overpriced long gun registry.
