You don't even know you're being gaslight because of the Liberal party is nose-diving in the polls. They are so desperate to change the narrative. 5 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Backbenchers aren't even MLA's. They are as the name implies, sitting in the back. They can chirp all they want, but nobody is going to listen... But not really. Harper wanted nothing to do with the abortion hot potato and made that clear to his caucus. Two months later Canada stood virtually alone among G8 countries in not supporting abortion rights in foreign aid projects in poorer nations after a Liberal blunder allowed the right to force his hand and he then caved and refused to support abortion rights. Sometimes the caucus gets its way. OTTAWA—For the first time since taking power more than four years ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper this week openly embraced a solid, social-conservative policy of the right — refusing to have Canada support abortion in foreign-aid projects. According to Conservative insiders, Harper initially argued at a special caucus meeting on the day of the vote for his party to avoid the ideological trap, and quietly vote in favour of the motion. But the Conservative caucus, which is roughly evenly divided between pro-choice and anti-abortion sentiments, had another idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Ricky has got me thinking about a new business. Maybe "pick the dishes?"

Don't agree with and opinion. He's a conservative. Push back on a topic. He's a conservative. God man. You need better material. You sound like a broken record.

What is the process to reverse R v Morgantaler? The Supreme Court or can PP simply do it on his own with party support? The decision was 5-2 and has never been challenged since. Roe v Wade was reversed by Trump’s Supreme Court. Are you suggesting PP is going to stack the court? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shits weak Some of the responses were a little harsh I have to admit but just wait 20 - 30 - 40 years and see how you feel when somebody slags old folks. You are bound to join in and protect your old turf. Besides that, I've been following your phone plan complaints with an open mind but I just can't see the merit of your argument. Looks like others couldn't either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
