JimC,
I am sorry, once you have been labeled a liberal, you have to live with
that
albatross the rest of your life.

Good Morning Lord Smithers: You are wrong! Totally wrong! Where is it
written that I have to have the label "Liberal" given to me for the rest of
my life? Oh....the humanity! My Conservative family will be devastated!
;-)

Anyway, who is it that makes the decision to place these labels on others?
Is it you?

Lord Smithers, I am definitely not a Liberal so please take me off your
list
as I am a card carrying member of the Federal Conservative Party of
Canada.

Makes you a Liberal/Progressive in the USA.

Good Morning Bert:
How could my being a member of a Political Party in Canada make me a member
of a Political Group in the USA. Are you that dense that you think a
Canadian Citizen can be a member of your voting group? You need to go back
to school to learn how your own system works.

You are as bad a Doug at taking everything too seriously.

What if I said, that you would be considered a Liberal/Progressive in the
USA. Would that have been easier for you to understand?

I understand how the US system works. But, what I don't understand is why in
the parlimentarian system, of which your country operates at the federal
level, is why you subject yourselfs to these votes of no confidence in the
prime minister which can result in dissolving the current government. It
seems that that can and would produce instability interanlly and be viewed
as wishy washy externally.

Bert, you mean to tell me that you don't take politics seriously? If that
is the case, why are you discussing it here?

I know that you don't understand how a Parliament works. A parliamentary
system works well because it is the will of the people which makes it work.
If the leader of our government makes some wrong choices, then we will have
no confidence in the government and can vote it out of power and bring in a
government to do the will of the people. You are stuck with Bush and
can't get rid of him, easily, in your form of government. If the government
of Canada is a strong one, it will have the confidence of the people and it
will stay in power. In our system, the government follows the will of the
people.

Pssst. Bert. A large number of "western" democratic nations have the same
system. If we did, we could have had a vote of no confidence on Bush and
been rid of the idiot.

You guys, the Liberal/Progressives, tried to do that a couple of weeks ago
and the Conservatives turned it into a near unanimous, which included nearly
all of the Liberal/Progressives, vot of confidence in the President's policy
in Iraq.

JimC,

Bert's theory is a conservatives in Canada are as liberal as an American
Liberal. He was not talking about any US party or group. I did like the
Canadian's Conservative's strong fiscal responsibility, which is lacking in
the US's Conservative Party. This is something we need to understand, we
cannot continue to spend more than we bring in.

I looked at the web site and most of the principles are ones that
conservatives from America would endorse. The only one I noticed that is
being hotly debated in the US today is universal health care. I for one
believe this will become a fact in the US. I am concerned about the
inefficiency of all Governmental programs, but the current system is not
working. Those without healthcare insurance are not being treated when an
illness can be treated inexpensively, they are going to emergency rooms when
they have severe health problems. Today, all Americans are paying for their
very expensive healthcare anyway. It would be cheaper for all American's
if preventative healthcare was available for all, either through a mandatory
private insurance companies, subsidized for the poor, or a Medicare type
program. This is a 180 degree change for me, but I know our current system
is not working.

In some ways, our two party system is quite limiting. We have two voices,
the Democrats and the Republicans, that is all. In a Parliamentary
system, many parties can have an active voice. In many ways, we have
fallen victim to the party system George Washington warned us about.
