  1. understanding politics is a lot more than reading a platform or understanding a stance on some sort of issue. Look at the US, supposed to be the american dream but that is not the reality. You can argue about all of this or really concern yourself with whats attainable and what is not. As a citizen we can guilt you into voting and say that is the problem, but realistically that is not the issue. Everyone wants to pretend like they know better. Conservative, Liberals and NDP are all pawns. If you think McGuinty is responsible for everything thats going on than you are very niave. Look into the condo boom of Toronto and why the crime rate is so low of a 2.5million population. The stretch of money goes far beyond the politics that the average individual believes.

  2. What is the differance, it doesn't matter who you vote for they all do the same thing! They lie, break promisses, raise our taxes and give themselves lavish pensions and nothing ever gets done about it. There is no accountability, if they get caught stealing they just pay it back and all is forgiven because they are all doing it. I keep hearing "if you don't vote you deserve what you get!" I have voted in every election since I was old enough to vote. Different party names but it is all the same game!

     

    its like voting for the best of the worst and you don't know what they're capable of until they're in power because they use all these smoke screens and false promises to get themselves there. Not to mention how complex the whole system is, in a such a multicultural place its hard to keep everyone happy as people have conflicting views. Politics is far to aggravating and this thread is going to get out of hand haha.

  3. a shootout makes the 3 periods essentially a waste of time, the game is resorting to a talent show. You could have a team full of fancy players getting out played by a bunch of 3rd liners to keep in the game then it gets decided by a shootout! I don't mind a tie, I'd prefer OT until someone wins but the TV networks can't handle that and I'm sure many of the viewers that are not avid fans will stop watching at a certain point.

  4. He was holding out for too much not really having played enough games... although I will say atleast watching Kadri can be interesting, not like the pylon Phaneuf who couldn't hit the net if his life depended on it and turn down potential momentum shifting fights... or Kessel stepping over the blueline and taking a wrister from the top of the circle... ugggh
