Comments of Public Record

Shaun McDonald Even though I consider myself a moderate, there is no question in my mind that this country needs conservative leadership NOW. The Liberals are too busy being SJW's and the NDP continues to destroy our ecomony with their pie in the sky ideals.

Sean Morrisey Lol did you two sleep through the 8 years of harpers dictatorship where science was muzzled, rights were taken, money was pulled from vets and social programs? Where omnibus bills were shoved down our throats along with C52 and the tpp? Or where we were promised surpluses and instead found ourselves almost $150billion further in debt? That sober thought? Seriously?

Matt Lejeune Ken Anderson. It was the Supreme Court in 2010 under Harper that made the ruling that led to this eventual settlement. This was a decision made by the courts at that time. The law suit was filed then and was expected to settle for closer to 20 million. So I don't know what your point is on this particular issue

He was trying to play games with judicial appointments to make the judiciairy political.He brought forward unconstitutional legislation on a regular basis. If he had not been stopped, the consequences to Canada's democracy would have been severe. As it is he did enough social and economic damage to last a generation.
