Government - November 2006

Living in the U.S., I've grown tired of this government, and I am wondering about Canada's government. What is it like? Could it be compared to the U.S. government? I don't know much about it but would like to before I ever make plans to move there.

Relatively speaking. Why is it that everyone wants to hate the current president, regardless of who he is, when he is only reflecting societies wishes? Otherwise he wouldn't be elected.

My basic pension (Old Age Security) is so low that I couldn't even afford to live in Canada and had to go to Mexico to survive.
I was a mother who stayed home for 16 years while my children were growing up and did not accumulate a great deal in CPP contributions.
How can the politicians justify giving themselves pay increases when thousands of pensioners are living below the poverty level?

In other words, what is the difference between the bill President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1995 (the so called “Dickey Amendment”) which makes it illegal for Federal money to be used for research where stem cells are derived from the destruction of the embryo, and H.R. 810, which President George Bush vetoed?

I understand that President Bush also provided $100 million in funding for embryonic stem cell research (and that funding wasn’t provided during the Clinton Administration) but I am asking about the bills specifically.

If you support the war in Iraq, do you lean on the conservative side or the liberal side?

If you support the PARTIOT Act/Homeland Security, do you lean on the conservative side or the liberal side?

If you want to spend more on education, especially on public schools, do you lean on the conservative side or the liberal side?

Thnx for help!

I am doing a midterm for a college politics class, and I can't find anywhere on the U.S. census site, or elsewhere, information regarding this years disparity or even in 2005. I need to find information on the percentage of national income each quintile received.

The U. S. will leave the fighting to the Iraqi army and then watch Iraq collapse. Bush is like LBJ and will stick the next president with losing the war. Just a prediction.

What benefit is it having a Uniited Knigdom, why don't England, Scotland, Wales (We'll forget about complex NI) have self governance.
There is no need for the Union anymore, the Scots and Welsh don't like the English and the English don't like propping up the Scottish and Welsh economies.
So how about it, self rule but remain strong military and economic allies?
For the record I am English

I keep hearing all of the liberals in the this country expound on how the republican controlled federal government is horrible and how the democrats have to retake control to right our country. Can some democrat please enlighten me in how the dem's will make the country better?

In all likelihood if the dems win a majority in this election nothing will change. Whomever is in power will continue to bow to the multinational corporate funded lobbyists. Dem's will raise taxes, give themselves another raise, and probably muck up what is happening militarily even more than they are now. Historically Democrats have enlarged conflicts instead of ending them (ie, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam). **Interesting note...During the Goldwater/Johnson campaign the underlying thinking was the if Goldwater was elected the Vietnam military action would become a war....lucky Johnson won.*** My vote is up for grabs here so give me a reason and some facts to back it up that will entice me to your side.

I'm talking about 9/11 here.
All the eveidence points to the government but still americans choose to beleive the rubbish their government is spewing...Remember the tv pictures of george bush when he got the news that "america was being attacked"? how and why did the president of 300 million people sit there and continue"reading his story book to those children ? ? ?
- thats bizzarly strange.Or has the government given them a"resonable" explanation haha??
There were 19 hijackers right....then how have 10 of these "terrorists" been found alive and well in their native lands?????
More bizzare is the horrific way the World Trade Center collapsed.Large structures like Buildings are made a certain way.They are designed to withstand storms,strong winds, fires, and bombs.The world trade centre was designed with those and many more safty designs in mind.It was a masterpeice of a structure.and buildings dont fall the way it did! THEY TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACYS,HEY THIS IS THE TRUTH! WAKE UP!!
