Canada's Harper government is yet another hard-right wing

LOL

You wouldn't know "hard right-wing" if it walked up and kicked you in the arse.

Roll Eyes

You apparently do not, either, because one actually is.

And you voted for it. Angry

I voted Greens. Wink

And just squealing “hard right-wing” doesn’t make it so. Cheesy

But I’m sure you will squeal away regardless. Roll Eyes

For those who apparently didn't realise that Canada is in the deadening grip of conservatism:

Conservatives dismantling social programs built over generations

Quote:

From the unemployed to low-income families and poor seniors, more people than ever are struggling with grim choices as they try to cope in the leaner, meaner Canada presided over by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Didn't realise?

Or simply don't care?

After all, they're cheering Abbott's unrelenting efforts to travel down the same road.

It's an interesting discussion.

I wish I could remember the name or find the documentary I saw on the loss of knowledge.

Its premiss which was supported anecdotally was after the 2nd world war there was a concerted effort to increase the over all intelligence of the next generation in western society.
Baby formula was developed that improved brain function & development, more critical thinking was introduced into the general school curriculum etc etc.

However these children grew up & became adults in the 60's & as we know this generation became troublesome for governments & the establishment by questioning direction instead of blindly following.

Hence the resurgence of breast feeding & the starving of funds to our public schools by both sides of politics.

Of course conservatives here will call bullsh!t, but I'll have another search on key words & might get lucky.

are you REALLY that stupid to blame this - if it is actually true - on conservatives???? Your descent into adelcrow like stupidity is accelerating. would you like a free tin-foil hat to go with your new conspiracy theorising??

you lefties really are truly appalling losers in the game of politics.

You really need to learn to read before going off on 1 of your rants.
see highlight.

My conservative comment comes from the fact that really other than Andrei on the rare occasion I could say the sky is blue & you lot would argue, Cods would blame Thommo & say its OK that Abbott says its pink because Gillard said there'd be no CT.

It really is pathetic.

hard to take you seriously when public school funding has exploded over the last 40-50 years with increases well above CPI etc

your tin-foil hat is taking effect. you are starting to talk the talk of the loons.

you lefties have without exception turned into feral brain-dead cretins incapable of a decent fact-based debate. Currently we have Abbot to blame for Canadas libraries, global warming, bushfires, the debt and anything else that you don't like.

you used to be capable of good debate but you have thrown any semblance of commonsense away.

there is bias and there is partisanship. and then there are the labor supporting utter morons on here.

Oh for christ's sake.
Where did I mention Abbott
Where did I mention Australian Schools

Your so full of bile because your boys are the disappointment you knew they would be & people are no longer blindly following the 3 word slogans your lashing out a shadows.

Anyone reading without looking for a fight would see neither of my posts refer to Abbott & the closest it comes to Aus is the mention of Western Society.

Oh & according to you in Gonski threads you can throw as much money at schools as you wish but it doesn't improve student outcomes, sort of invalidates your highlight don't you think???
