They give corruption money to party leaders to select suitable candidates for major posts. The main thing is that the capitalists' money will be as safe as possible because it is clear that the Golden Past will never ever be back. I think this is why policemen are "needed" for major posts. All societies are just alike no matter if they are called democratic, socialistic or communistic or whatsoever societies.Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-32476222174173036232010-10-29T14:48:53.614-07:002010-10-29T14:48:53.614-07:00hello Ari,

The worse the economy with no jobs in sight, it seems people reach for "law and Order" to bring things back to a mythical golden past. <br /><br />Yes, I will have to keep looking. I will post on Calgary's new mayor who actually seems to have a vision that is not the same-old, same-old.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-53497517268524318422010-10-28T12:25:18.656-07:002010-10-28T12:25:18.656-07:00Congratulations !

Soldiers and policemen use to lead all kinds of banana republics. It looks like Canada is going to be a banana state too having this kind of leaders. "Big boys" (tosi miehet) use to say that the unit of intelligence is one policeman and normal intelligence is hundred policemen. I remember that you were not very satisfied with TB's former mayor either. Now you have to go to barricades.Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-51482981549327432422010-10-28T08:26:10.714-07:002010-10-28T08:26:10.714-07:00Anonymous, I am not ignorant of local politics, no...Anonymous, I am not ignorant of local politics, nor regional, national or global politics. I keep myself informed.<br /><br />So Hobbs is popular with some women. There are plenty of women who espouse conservative views like getting tough on crime. I don't advocate that just because one is of the female sex that she necessarily has a progressive or enlightened view or even knows how sexism works. Many women collude in their own oppression; this is an increasing problem. It stems from hegemony, from the illusion of choice, independence, and democracy.<br /><br />However, having more women in positions of influence CAN help, as would having more non-white, non-Christian, and Aboriginal Canadians in political roles -- especially local politics.<br /><br />As for taking my "snivelling elsewhere," this is my blog, did you forget? It's my space to speak my mind.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-73115330293313283502010-10-27T13:20:11.856-07:002010-10-27T13:20:11.856-07:00Talk about ignorant statements.

BTW judging by the crowd at his victory party, I would say he'd as popular or more so with women than men.<br /><br />Also how many conservatives get endorsed by the labour council and all of the unions? Well he did. What does that say? Clearly he can play ball with all sides.<br /><br />Take your snivelling elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-12298047076140474692010-10-27T13:19:14.925-07:002010-10-27T13:19:14.925-07:00yes, unfortunately, this conservatism is strong.

Some people in certain neighbourhoods had no power even in the evening and did not get their power back until early this morning. Lots of roads were closed as hydro crews were putting in new poles.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-14277408955268855992010-10-26T21:23:20.630-07:002010-10-26T21:23:20.630-07:00Oh boy, I see that conservatism is taking hold of ...Oh boy, I see that conservatism is taking hold of the whole country...
