Made me feel good. <br /><br />it just seemed so sick that steve and his crew wanted to deny sick people and children health care; that they left it up to provincial governments and individual doctors to provide services for free.<br /><br />Happy about Khadr. A few bills to pass parliament and we're almost back to normal. Once the Inquiry into First Nations murdered/missing women is under way, we have a chance again of being what we were 9 years ago, only better this time.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-10989553358993655462016-02-20T03:42:51.511-05:002016-02-20T03:42:51.511-05:00hi rumleyfips....that's a good one.

The retirement picture, and the drug situation is absolutely critical, so I am glad that now that the Cons have been defeated our politicians are finally examining those questions.

I pegged Harper as a clinical psychopath long ago, but that alone can't explain his behaviour. He must be suffering from a cluster of other conditions, and I shudder to think what he might be doing now with the economy in such dire straits, if we hadn't defeated him. I don't think a lot of people realize what a bullet we dodged for it could have been a real nightmare...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-32827746635957263452016-02-20T03:34:41.867-05:002016-02-20T03:34:41.867-05:00hi jrkrideau...It is indeed a pleasure to see a go...hi jrkrideau...It is indeed a pleasure to see a government acting like a Canadian government again.

Cleaning crew had not come by, John Baird had an obvious cold and had left about twenty balls of snotty tissue on his little table top. It was cold season, but he was the only one to leave his viral waste for some poor cleaner to pick up. It fits with his public persona.<br />TSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-1344685280060578872016-02-19T09:07:46.529-05:002016-02-19T09:07:46.529-05:00Those mean spirited questions from my ex Con MP Ha...Those mean spirited questions from my ex Con MP Hawn always got my goat, too.<br />I always thought there should be a third question.<br />SHOULD ALL CANADIANS RECEIVE THE SAME HEALTH, DRUG AND PENSION BENEFITS AS THEIR MP'S ?hinofanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231739915851290638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-46406774326711844612016-02-19T08:30:17.711-05:002016-02-19T08:30:17.711-05:00.. well done, Simon.. & the comment from jrkri..... well done, Simon.. & the comment from jrkrideau resonates .. Not enough people recognize or recognized the problem of ex PM Stephen Harper. Over the last 10 years, I had the opportunity to supervise interviews with leading healthcare professionals & KOP's (key opinion leaders) and stakeholders.. especially in regard to mood disorders and mental health.. When possible I took the opportunity while packing up gear.. to ask informal questions re diagnosis, obvious signs, behavior patterns etc.. and surprisingly, these clinicians used well known celebrities, politicians etc as examples. I would always ask what they surmised of Stephen Harper, Jason Kenney, John Baird, Peter Kent etc etc.. and their eyebrows always twitched.. a cunning smile was seen.. and a polite disclaimer.. then a humerous diagnostic parable.. usually veering toward psychopathy and narcissism with omnipotence - hiding in plain sightthe salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-75346133093630644212016-02-19T06:53:08.895-05:002016-02-19T06:53:08.895-05:00It's strange to see the Canadian government be...It's strange to see the Canadian government behaving with decency and rationality after ten years of the Harper regime. I never understood the mad vindictiveness of the Cons against Kadhr, except that there was a victim that they could bully more. <br /><br />As far as I could see, any sign of weakness in a person or a group was a sign for Harper and his government to attack. I believe this works well for predators on the Serengeti. Pity it was the modus operandi of the government of a major country. <br /><br />Harper seems the epitome of what the psychologist Bob Altemeyer calls a high high Social Dominance, high Right Wing Authoritarian personality. This is not a nice combination as we have seen.jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.com
