I'm not going to let that throw our friendship into jeopardy (though it must give Americans the irrits getting bashed sometimes). So.... good Canadian politicians. At the moment I can only think of Paul Martin, our current Prime Minister. And he was involved with the awful Sponsorship Scandal in Québec. Aside from that, there's a lot of good things to say about him. He was a good Finance Minister (minus scandal ), and he's very intelligent. EDIT: Okay, two good things.

a) havent been to school in nearly 3 years slightly old for that
b) bush poster issue seemed related to bush doll issue - i merely made an observational comparison c) political satire is serious, in that it gets people talking about issues |

You are, of course, welcome to post in here Chrys. But we do have your "World Politics" thread for extensive N.A-World discussions.
Paul Martin is also leader of a minority government (how cool is that), and though I think he does not personally support gay marriage, he's not trying to interfere with the process of the courts. *cough* Canadian Alliance *cough* Actually, I don't think the Alliance actually tried to interfere with the courts, but they wanted a law to be passed against it or some such. O Brain Where Art Thou? I don't think Paul Martin said anything about his personal stance in the issue, but perhaps it doesn't matter. Either way it would cloud the issue. If he's for it, that might draw unfair accusasions of bias (or who knows what else), and if he's against it, his detractors (or the detractors of gay marriage) might use it against him. With respect to gay marriage the government is putting the Liberal back in Liberal.

Whatever you think of his politics, it's uncalled for to call him an asshole. I don't agree with Bush's politics, but do I call him an asshole? No I do not.

My previous post was a cross-post with JD and Chrys.
JD, are you threatening to boycott this thread again? As long as it stays on topic, you have no reason to complain. (Defend and debate, yes, but boycott?) Quote:
I think all powerful nations (basically, all the developping countries) have a moral obligation to non-developping countries (for reasons that would lead to a giant OT post). However, Bush or any American President is not the de facto world leader just because he heads a powerful nation. Quote:
Quote:
I think the federal ruling found the provincial laws to be against the Charter, and therefore must be updated. The Charter of Rights is a higher law than provincial law, and ensures that the rights of all Canadians are protected. I love the Charter. EDIT: Just to note in case this already wasn't apprent to people, that the way federal law and provincial/state law interacts is quite different between Canada and the USA. Yet another reason that we are not the "51st state". But that's best saved for another day.

My previous post was cross-posted with Eärniel and Chrys. Aaa! Too many peeeeeople!
Erm anyway, yes, Adrienne Clarkson is an interesting person. I wonder what she got the Order of Canada for? (It's similar to being made a knight or dame.) That was mentioned at the end of her bio. I had no idea she was 66, I thought she was younger. IIRC Paul Martin is 65, and our esteemed former Prime Minister *glares at JD* Jean Chrétien is also 65. I have no idea what that implies. Random observation.
