This could get interesting.
When people realize they are actually getting a cut instead of an increase people might not like Mucair's suggestion too much.
It's one thing to have the party in power pick your pockets but quiet another when the leader of the opposition attempts to do it.
Best of all it exposes the NDP for what they really stand for. And it's not families they stand for. What better way to demonstrate that then to ask for family allowance cheques to finance their grab at power.

NDP, LOLOL
The party for the little guy .............and little girl. Take the kids money. Not surprising at all. Also not surprising how many sheep will send this carpet bagger their money.
Hey if it keeps one kid from having a free lunch or an education, it's all worth it. If Commie Tommy doesn't have to ever get real job, then it's worth it.
I'm to the point where I believe the two things we can count on the voters for is ignorance and apathy.
I have no idea how it started and I don't care.

Not to much to say on this one, don't care for Mulcair, never have, and have stated that before, but nothing surprises me any more how any of the parties try to raise money.
Beside this thread, like all the other NDP threads just turned into a contest on who can come up with the latest derogatory, sarcastic name for the NDP, same old, same old, don't bother with these type of threads to much anymore.

Maybe the NDP is smarter than we give them credit for because they realize how stupid so many people are these day.

I'm reminded
How the Dipper's loud mouthed schnook Pat Martin actually took to the internet to beg for money to pay for the settlement against him for slandering Rack Nine.
The only things more pathetic than the dipper politicos, are the suckers that support them.

Yes, we won the donkey behind door number 2.
Psssssst, that's not really a win though. That's why the audience is laughing at "us".

I have already stated my views a few times, and for the most part they have not changed. There has been a way more than enough of the same thing being said over and over, without me adding to it.
Could I call names.....yes but that accomplishes nothing, although I admit I did that a bit back just after the election. I used the term WhineRose and a couple of others a bit, but that destroyed any chance of a rational debate as all it did was pizz people off. Their reply was more name calling........a complete waste of time so I stopped doing it.
Name calling is a personal attack and has nothing to do with the issues, it makes people defensive, and rational debate ends. What I have observed is many members on here do not want to or can't debate, but they can easily demean others who voted NDP, so that is what they do.
Similar to members that continue to use the term "dippers", doesn't really bother me, but some members do not contribute when this is how a post starts, as they all end up the same.
I do not feel the need to "defend" myself or the provincial NDP, as for the most part they have followed their platform, which is why they were voted in. Am I 100% happy with what they have done......no, but my final decision on their ability to lead and move this province forward will be decided at the end of their term, not at the beginning.
The NDP and Conservative have different philosophies on how a province/country should be run. Because those philosophies are quite different common ground is not likely.
Where I like a focus on health, education, public workers and unions you and other conservatives like a focus on self attainment, big corporations, and if you are having a hard time it can only be because you are stupid or lazy. IMO the NDP philosophy is not so harsh.
Because you are an NDP follower does not mean you want others to look after you, and I have said this before, I have been working for 41 years and never collected one EI or welfare cheque. It appears to make members on here happy to insinuate that all the NDP are lazy, but it is just not the case. Laziness is not a political ideology it is a personal trait, unfortunately exhibited by to many people with all political views.
Pretty long winded, but there you go Luxor.

Bob - I suspect a lot of the name callers that purport to support a particular party, do little more than rally their kindred faithful. Certainly, they do not comprehend that over the long run, they do their party more harm than good.

The ndp and the single mom join forces to tout a bad idea. Fitting as one is a failed political ideology and one is a failed human being.

Absolutely pathetic, I am surprised that even the socialists would stoop to such a low life attempt to con people out of their money.

Seems strange all right, as the party they appear to support conducts itself much differently. After hundreds of posts, and I may have missed it but I have almost never seen a post where the supporters actually say something positive about the party they support, at least not since the election??

There are going to be more "new lows" at least every month, if not more often. The NDP has shown that they cannot govern a province before, why did the people who voted for them think that it would be any different this time?

Yes! This! ..... I voted Brian Jean... All the way... But to listen to the same people "cry"... Yes "man cry".... Is a major turn off. I'm still with Brian and his agenda, but I can see that anyone on the fence could be turned off just so they don't have to be associated with the likes.... These people are pushing the fence sitters away with their...... for lack of a better word..... "Crying, snivelling, whining..". You are doing no favours for your beloved. You are actually hurting their goal. Good job! You know who you are.

It's the underlying philosophy of the left you see here. They see all property as theft, all wealth as belonging to the collective.
I say TAX is theft, which I tolerate only because I cannot afford to build infrastructure, hire an army or establish a legal system to protect my person and property from others.
My 2 cents
