Sorry - to be precise I have issues with a certain set of right-of-centre beliefs.

Case in point I don't agree with Harper's little "Quebec as a nation within Quebec" stunt he's pulling - I don't want to see federalism redifined... because that's what this can easily lead to if the Bloc or others push for it to be a constitutional change. What was wrong with the distinct society provisions? All Harper has done is play into the hands of the seperatists (those in Quebec, and the growing group in Alberta).

As for Haskett, I really don't like Hatchet Haskett for a number of reasons: she ant-gay, anti-non evangelical christian, anti-monarchist, a bigot, and on a personal level a arrogant bitch who believes shes always right... I met her at Conservative party functions before 2000, and from what I hear she has only gotten worse.

I'm sure you'll have issues with me (especially me when I was 16....)

Of if you are/were anti-gay, anti-non evangelical christian, anti-monarchist, a bigot, ignorant or close minded.

I'm just disgusted that my old party would let this "woman" run, much less have a say in the internal party workings of a riding she was pretty much run out of by the local Conservatives...

Oh and don't get me started on her anti-student and heavily anti-GLO bylaws and crap she enacted when she was mayor - London had the dubious distinction for a time of being the only place in Ontario with neighbourhood living/renting restrictions for students.

Well, I'm not that....though I did go through a whole "we have no family values" phase in high school.....I refused to listen to hip hop because it was unlady like (still do.....even begged my parents to send me away to a Swiss finishing school)

Face it, students are loud....most *DO* need some good finishing skills.

I hated living in London - it sucks.

Glad I only had to be there 2 years.


It's one thing to have extreme beliefs on either side of the spectrum, it's a totally different ballgame when someone violates human rights and freedoms of individuals (which obviously that woman did)
