Is it possible someone up the line disagrees with you on some issue?


Hilarious

Connie, the fact that you remain with this Party after the way you have been treated - speaks volumes about your personal character. You should be Sainted.

Although this may sound somewhat whacky to loyal Conservatives, we in the Liberal Party welcome activists who want to challenge the system to work better for the people.

Whether you used to be a Tory or a Dipper, or even Reform, you will be welcomed in the Liberal Party with open arms.

None of us have any great ideas or our own. The best ones always seem to come from someone else. You find them out by talking to people in your poll/area/riding/region. Even disadvantaged people are eloquent at letting you know what they need. If you can show them access to programs which already exist, you have made a friend for life, and a possible political volunteer come election time. Most of the problem is a lack of communication by the system to the people who need it. As an activist you can fill that gap.

We may not have any ideology worth talking about, but we have a huge list of contacts from all parties who will work to help make dreams come true for those who need it most.

Even when things are bad for the Party, there is still a lot of personal satisfaction gained from making things possible for people, just using the process, not the ideology.

If you are fed up of giving your power back to an autocratic leadership which does not appreciate you, perhaps you might think of switching. Liberals may be a lot of things, but they do appreciate you if you help.

It's not easy, but it works, one person at a time...

You know what, RightLiberal? I believe you.

I have some strong differences with the Liberal Party ideology, but I do believe that they would appreciate my efforts more than the Conservative Party does.

The thing is that I am so conservative on all issues that I would be fighting an uphill battle every day to try to make an apple out of an orange.

The Conservative Party is closer to my political philosophy, so I guess they are stuck with me. Sucks to be them.

Like Connie I agree with RightLiberal, a Classical Liberal ideology is almost identical to Conservative ideology. With regards to social programs I'm a Classical Liberal (solid programs that give someone a lift up and out but not for a life time) but fiscally and morally I'm Conservative.

What a load of rubbish!!!! As someone that knows the inner workings of the Liberal party of Canada, I can tell you that party in recent times (last 80 years) has never been about the people. It is about how to create the process and then use what they have created to destroy the country. The liberals talk a lot about the need to take care of the mess fortunate but whenever in power they continually developed processes to enslave people to the need of a liberal/socialist government.

The PCPC and its latest incarnation has been no better than the Liberals when they have the chance to control government. The progressives simply slowed down the system and in some cases (liek Harper and Mulroney) actually increase the growth of government enslavement programs.

The Liberals do it to retain the title of natural governing party and the Conservatives do it to get power and then try to stay in power beyond 4 years.

That is what you get from partisan political parties ... ideologies to serve the party and its elites. That always leads to neglect of the people and he country.

Connie,

Forget the Libs, join a party that is a grassroots just for its survival. The Progressive Canadian Party does not have the arrogance of the Liberals but is is a small group of principed Progressive Conservatives who wants what's best for all of Canada, Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and even Newfoundland and Labrador included.

It is time for a REAL ALTERNATIVE for conservative-minded voters!!!

There is a REAL ALTERNATIVE for progressive-conservative minded voters, those believing in PROGRESS with CARE.

For your consideration as positive directions to be undertaken:

SEVEN PILLARS FOR BRINGING PROSPERITY TO CANADA

The Progressive Canadian Party has seven visions for Canada. It is part of our Prosperity Canada Programme.

It is our individual duty as progressive-conservatives, as members and supporters of the P.C.Party to communicate to our fellow citizens what we stand for and why their vote is so vital for the future.

1) FACILITATING POST SECONDARY EDUCATION

We believe knowledge in the modern world is paramount.

Free education should be extended to Canadians to allow them to complete their education at the university, college or trade school level.

Why should we assume after grade 12 our citizens should pay to be educated? Subject to maintaining satisfactory grades each Canadian should be entitled as a right to 16 years of free education not 12.

2) REALIZING GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

In the world of to-day Canada must identify our growth opportunities throughout the Commonwealth of Nations.

While our main trading partner, the U.S.A. has overconsumed the bulk of the nations in the Commonwealth are underdeveloped.

We have an opportunity to extend our trading, investment and services to our cousins in these lands who want to increase their prosperity.

3) HARNESSING RENEWABLE RESOURCES

There is a growing awareness that the worlds present energy resources are finite.

This is the opportune time to fiscally forge what is needed in the form of renewable energy infrastructures.

With the second largest land mass in the world Canada can and should become a leading producer, exporter and consumer of wind, solar, thermal and tidal renewable energy.

4) MEETING DIFFERING NEEDS

A strong united Canada is fundamental but within our country there are diverse communities that require differing approaches to realize their economic potentials.

One example is Hamilton, an urban community which has had heavy industry as its base. The city is in transition. We believe its future could include restructuring of their industry . . . of their factories . . . into the production of renewable energy infrastructure products which are in short supply throughout the world.

5) SERVING THE WORLD

Canada spanning east and west and north gives us the opportunity to revitalize Atlantic Canada so that in world trade it can become the hub for Eastern North America including the U.S.A.'s Atlantic coast areas..

Likewise on the Pacific Coast British Columbia can become a gateway for Asian world trade into North America.

Hudson's Bay and our Arctic areas are begging to serve the world with the export of more oil, natural gas and diamonds. Working with our Arctic citizens we can facilitate that.

6) ALLYING FOR PEACE AND STABILITY

Rather than attempting the impossible in Afghanistan, with over 100 of our soldiers dying there, we should reach out to our Commonwealth cousins - India and Pakistan and forge with them an alliance to bring peace and stability to that troubled region. An immediate benefit to Canada and the world would be the ending of their production of 93% of the world's supply of opium that results in Canadians dying in the hundreds every year from the use of that drug.

7) BRINGING NEW HOPE

Canada has been a major contributor to relieving the plight of millions of the world's citizens who live in some of the poorest areas on earth. We have never contributed, however, to the full extent of our commitment to the world, namely .07% of our annual Gross Domestic Product per year.

It is possible through public and private co-operation to bring new hope to our fellow Commonwealth and Francophony citizens and in doing so meet our promise.

There is a particular opportunity in this area to work with South Africa and other Commonwealth and Francophony nations to bring new hope to the citizens of their continent.

Sorry Joe, sounds like a carbon copy of the Green Party. I think there's more than enough parties on the left already. And besides. You could still make some money by selling your party name to the CPC. That bunch has no business using the word "conservative" in its name.

Sorry, littleharbour, you see nothing positive.

Constance:

There is a place for you in the political sphere, and although someone may poke their head up and say some soothing words to get your support for their partisan interest, I feel most confident they are not doing so in good faith.
Where you can do the most to help steer the political debate to the right is exactly where you do it now...right here at FD. It is a force to be reckoned with..why else would it have brought on the ire of the usual suspects brandishing an edict of a non judical committee of appointees?
If you and your supporters did not have an effect on the body politic you would be politely ignored and disregarded, but you are not.
That tells me that you have an ideological home and it does not require membership in any political party.
Your efforts are appreciated by the people that matter, not the people that think they matter.

For that I say thankyou.
