Somethings are accepted as axiomatic -- in the same way that the earth being flat used to be considered an undeniable truth. When Copernicus and Galileo challenged that notion, they got a lot of unpleasant pushback.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-79002804652772758442017-03-31T15:36:06.404-04:002017-03-31T15:36:06.404-04:00It's pretty pathetic what passes for political...It's pretty pathetic what passes for political issues today Owen. Toby is right about both parties having a neoliberal agenda, which means neither party could care less about creating policy in the interest of Canadians. <br /><br />We have governments who once elected go rogue. I'm curious,Owen, why do you think neoliberalism is not only never discussed,the word neoliberalism itself is never said, not by the MSM, nor the government?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-67617170979791842582017-03-31T13:12:09.438-04:002017-03-31T13:12:09.438-04:00You're right, Toby.

What we have is Neo-Liberal Economics with an ugly face which is opposed by Neo-Liberal Economics with a smiley face and Neo-Liberal Economics that might introduce childcare. Lisa Raitt, Michael Chong and Erin O'Toole could do the country a favour by breaking out and founding a real Progressive Conservative Party. <br /><br />Tobynoreply@blogger.com
