After that, you got nerve throwing around the hack comment. I'll give ya that.

I guess I can never say anything anti-Liberal ever again without being labelled as such. It doesn't matter how many times I've said the guy will be our next PM if he wins the leadership or any other positive commentary...the second anything remotely negative comes out guys like you start with the "hack" comments.

Just tell him Harper is a full fledged economist and his head will nearly pop off.

Lionel Ritchie has won a number of Grammy awards, and many other awards for his singing, music and composing. Possibly one of the more awarded musicians of our time. Before he joined the Commodores and made it big, he got an undergraduate in Economics from the Tuskegee Institute, which he attended by earning scholarship by playing tennis.

Is Lionel Ritchie an Economist?

[Bodah]

I'll admit I'm not that suprised that he flip-flopped, but suprised it was that fast.

I don't know man, did you lose your sense of humour when you took a shit this morning?

Why? Once free of the party line, this is his opportunity to lay out his vision.

Really, if we don't afford new leaders to have vision for the direction of the party, then we honestly don't need a leader.

[Bodah]

Oh the offical party vote is one thing. I completely understand him voting the party line. But last week in Ontario he said (in his opinion)it was a failure and yesterday in (in his opinion) Quebec he said he would vote for in favour for it again if he had to vote on it tomorrow.

Look at my avatar. Look at your question. Repeat until your question is answered.

I know you'd avoid my question though. If Harpers' Masters in Economics makes him an economist and not a politician, then Lionel Ritchie is also an Economist and not a musician.

So you are saying a person cannot be two things at once? Lionel Richie is a musician by trade, that is true. Can he not be an economist? He could probably be a chef as well if he wanted to.

I'm saying to call yourself a professional anything, you have to actually practice it. I am a qualified Professional Engineer, but I am not registered as such because I need to be practicing in that field - by law! - to call myself one.

Neither Stephen Harper nor Lionel Ritchie practice in the field of Economics, so neither get to call themselves an 'Economist'. Politicians lie, and lies should not be repeated, so Harper calling himself one should also not be repeated.

Honestly I ain't doubting you, but do you have a link for that?

All the bitching I've heard is him voting for it and now denouncing it in Ontario. Nothing said about a change of story in Quebec.

"The long-gun registry, as it was, was a failure and I'm not going to resuscitate that," Trudeau said during a campaign stop in the Conservative riding of Glengarry–Prescott–Russell in Ontario on Friday.

The presumed Liberal front-runner tried on Monday to mollify both sides of the debate, rekindled over the weekend by his description of the long-gun registry as a failed policy.

Trudeau spent a news scrum with reporters in Saint Jean Sur Richelieu, Que., handling one of the first divisive policy debates to erupt during his campaign.

He explained that he didn't actually flip-flop on the gun registry. Trudeau said he always supported it, and still does support it in principle, but now that it's gone he said it's too divisive to try bringing it back.

[Gunnair]

Huh. Well, so the guy supports in principle but won't support a divisive public policy that cost a lot but sis not work all that well.

Fair enough.

I think that's somewhat straight forward, kinda like the guys who's pro-life but won't support opening the abortion debate.

I don't have massive issues with that.

Well now I can tell Lemmy that both Harper and Lionel Richie are economists.

Make sure you mention that they are both scientiists as well

[Xort]

So what he is saying is, this was a failure, but I support it?

Well that's honest at least.

Supports the concept but gets implementation is costly and divisive so he won't endorse it as a policy,

No problem with that.
