Answers that Slap you in the Face
The Answer to All Societies Ills
The only way to keep people from shooting people is to bring in more guns. Or at least that seems to be the Conservative’s answer. Harper wants to militarize the entire nation. Or at least the urban areas. With such hot-spots as Winnipeg, Regina, and Calgary joining the ranks of Vancouver and Toronto, Harper figures that a military presence is the perfect answer in all five of these areas. Rather than, like Layton suggests (and so have I), developing a strategy to stop guns from being smuggled into Canada, Harper wants to make guns more accessible and promote the sexy-ness of guns by making them more visible (through a military presence).
The Answer to Global Warming
For Conservatives the best way to deal with global warming is to militarize the arctic. Rather than actually looking into environmental issues, we should arm polar bears. While maintaining sovereignty over the arctic is important, I feel we should spend more money, time and energy into developing ways in which our money, time and energy will not melt the reindeer and elven habitat. A melted arctic is a new battlefield, I guess.
The Answer to Unpopularity
The easiest way to be popular is to be a slut. Being a slut is easily accomplished by saying and doing basically everything that anyone asks of you. Harper has reversed his position on the repayment to the Chinese community regarding the head-tax of a century ago. If it is unpopular then change your mind. And join the NDP and Bloc in their stance against the Liberal’s solution. Why the change? I cannot rightly say. It is hard to judge motives. My guess is that it is the slutty thing to do. Change to get elected? I promise better cafeteria food. And no school on Mondays. “GO TEAM!”
The Answer to Loneliness
It is a tough life being all alone knowing that a majority of people disagree with you, each for different reasons or with different solutions. Harper’s plan is to not form a posse with which to work hard TOGETHER for Canadians. The only answer is to go it alone. Because the only people who were right and who were real Canadians are those who vote for you. Rather than demonstrating a willingness to show the world and each other that Canada is diverse and united yet dynamically polarized, Harper wants to maintain a divided Canada. He will do it himself. A Utopia that only he can build (with the help of the military in cities and the polar bears up north).
The Answer is “Change”
The Conservatives say that they will bring change to Canada. This assumes that the way Canada is, and is heading is wrong. Instead of proposing new ideas Harper presents the “Mike Harris Portfolio”. So, in this case “change” means “something already tried.” In another sense, “Change” refers to piddly amounts of money. Such as less than $25 bucks a week for day-care. Or about $250 in GST not spent per year. But in the true sense of the word “change” refers to an alteration in how things are done. How about slowly eroding the social security safety net? Like making good, quality health-care harder to come by? Or removing restrictions on import and sales of guns? Or sending our troops to fight in war zones rather than actually peace-keeping? Or in militarizing our entire country?
Harper is full of everything except good answers.
Harper’s solutions to the issues in Canada are not adequate. The Conservative answer is to remodel the entire nation after themselves. If you don’t like it then you are wrong. Speaking out against people of a Conservative bent (especially if they say they have no political affiliation) apparently is a risky business. Just imagine if there were armed military operatives on every street corner. Or polar bears with guns. Or penguins with tommy guns.

What a load of crap..!!
1. Answer to societies ills…bullshit,
Harper wants to re-build the military after years of neglect by the liberal socialists in Ottawa…
2. Answer to global warming, more bullshit, do you actually wear a straight face while lying through your teeth, Kyoto is a scam, not one scientific study, has ever linked Global warming to human activity, (prove me wrong, find one, I challenge you), Dalton Mcguinty wants to close all the coal fired generating plants in Ontario, if you truly believe in global warming, then what do you think of Canadian taxpayers building coal fired generating plants in China, while we close ours,…Oh I forgot socialists deserve our money, and the americans are so very very evil…
3.It’s the socialists who are un-popular, thats why you can’t get elected unless you lie and call yourself a liberal…Paul Martin is giving money to a chinese organization that does not represent the chinese people who actually paid the head tax, can you say kick-back to the liberal party…
4. Being a socialist like your father (commie Jack Layton), I guess you know all about being lonely, it must suck to be you ,being called a liar everywhere you go…
5.Change…!, yes lets change this socialist track we have been on for many years now, Mike Harris was right, Paul Martin cut transfers to Ontario during Harris’s term to the tune of 22 billion dollars, at the same time Harris increased health care spending and cut taxes, I call that sound financial planning in the face of such cuts, (don’t believe me?) just ask Dalton, Oh ya, and I need that 25 dollars a week, to pay my little sister to babysit, that is something you and the socialists can’t stand, that I might not want my children indoctrinated in the canadian version of Soviet Pioneer school…
5. Layton’s solutions to the issues in Canada are not adequate. The NDP answer is to remodel the entire nation after themselves. If you don’t like it then you are wrong. Speaking out against people of a NDP/socialist bent (especially if they say they have no political affiliation) apparently is a risky business. Just imagine if there were armed socialist mandarins on every street corner. Or union thugs with guns. Or (commies like yourself) with tommy guns.
Get a life….!!!!
i don’t understand why people feel the need to ‘better’ one another.
consider that your existence, your intelligence, your very mind is a social phenomenon. nothing is really your own, and a community constitutes you, you have an obligation to it.
guns and taxbreaks are not ways we promote authenticity, community and moral goods.
not to sound outlandishly hippy-like, but isn’t there anyone that you love mr. wylie? if there is, ask yourself why. i think you might find that the entire world is not based on utility and material gain.
if this is “a life” i refuse to take one on.
William Wylie, I have a fine life, thank-you very much. Yours must be pretty dull if you must come here, yell at me, and tell me off. If you actually believe that I am wrong then rather than using tired rhetoric and insults why not engage me on a one-to-one level. It is words like yours that do not promote any dialogue and ruin what democracy we actually have in Canada.
There is no point in going one-on-one with you, you couldn’t argue your way out of a wet paper bag, you think the truth is tired rhetoric, once more prove my truth wrong, find one scientific study claiming humans are the cause of global warming…just one….
The real problem with our democracy is liars like you, twisting dialogue into socialist ideology..!
Hey arron where did I say anything about material gain,…me thinks your ideology is showing…take another vacation in CUBA,
you need to sharpen your socialist jabs…
LMAO……..!!!!!!!!
One last thing…
I didn’t come here to yell at you, I came here to prove a point…
That being, that socialists use lies and insinuation, to promote their cause.
If socialism is such a good philosophy, why can’t you promote it with fact and conviction?
Why do you have to resort to lies and innuendo?
This site and your latest post, (answers that slap you in the face)prove my point perfectly.
I’ll be directing other conservatives this way, so they too, can see for themselves what socialists and socialism are all about.!
Thank you ….you have done me a big favour, conservatives all over the world thank you for showing us socialisms true colours…!
you say prove a lot, but all i see are descriptions. “couldn’t argue yourself out of a wet paper bag” is hardly a “punch in the face” it’s more like a “tired and boring cliche”. get a life? get a thesaurus!
i think that rintrah’s main interest in the harper discussion is sarcasm and entertainment. the funny part of the sarcasm is that it would make perfect sense if most of these things were to actually happen (much like ‘the onion’ humour, or the like. it’s called satire. you should wikipedia that one.) although as entertaining as his posts are, i find them very informative. and as should you.
quit with the boring cliche and let’s have some substance, huh? i’d honestly like to know how people are interested in conservatism… as i explained before, i can’t see it fostering any kind of productivity or social good. what else would you possibly want from a government and how do you think fulfilling everyone’s needs in a society would be a bad thing? what makes others undeserving?
Aaron, those are my sentiments exactly. But I do not think the reference to the Onion is deserving. The Onion is much better. But thanks nonetheless. And me thinks you must take me to Cuba when you go.
LOL! ROFL! LMAO! ASGADFADSFDSFAFDSCXCGSDE! Etc etc ad infinitum or something.
Hey I bleive in the right to arm bears too!

If Paul Martin is the bad guy, who do you vote for? Voting Conservative because you do not like Martin is a bad idea. For those thinking individuals out there check out Anacharsis’ post on the matter. His analysis of how democracy is supposed to work is correct. No?
i love bears.
bears are awesome. except if they want to kill or shoot you. or if you are Stephen Colbert
