And I think that if governments would allow teenagers, like me, to vote, a lot of things would change.
A lot of teenagers have good opinions about politics, it's time to reveal these!

If teenagers are allowed to vote two things would happen:

1. they will vote for the party the offers the most for them, I would have vote NDP when I was 16 just because they seemed to be offering the most help for me. I drastically changed my opinion tho after a few business courses.
2. They will vote the same way their parents would.

Indeed, like our wonderful next-door neighbor Ontario. Surprisingly, people from Vancouver usually know French. They have a high rate of French immersion over there. I was impressed anyways....

In my opinion Ontario is pretty much bilingual anyway. Every Government office I have been to has information posted in both languages. My Univeristy application was in both languages. Also you can recive french services at the major government offices in the cities.

The only thing left for Ontario to do is become Officially Bilingual.

J'ai essayé d'apprendre francais. Je pense que c'est tres important pour tout les Candiens fiat leur meillieu d'appredre francais. Sorry its been awhile since my french classes.

The election has been called and will be held on the 23rd of January. So who do you guys think will win and what do you hope the next government will do.

I am hoping for election reforms. I think fixed election dates would be the best thing becuase it would force a minority government to make deals and actually work.

I also wouldn't mind perportional representation. It would seriously mess with the Bloc.

As some people might notice on these forums, I am a liberal and will be voting liberal in the election. So obviouly I hope they win. I think right now a conservative government would be a threat to national unity. Conservatives will not win any seats in Quebec. If they form the government there would be no representation of Quebec in it. It would add to Quebec's soveriengtist cause.

Actually election rules give the parties money for every vote they get for the next election. So every vote counts in a way now.

I am excited for the election. It will be my fist time voting. I will vote liberal. I hope the conservative loose badly. Maybe then Harper will step down.

If Harper wants to make gains in Ontario I suggest that he come out of his Western Canada haven and run in Ontario, oh and he should stop being a whinney dick and find some better issues then the Sponsership program,. If opinion polls mean anything to him then he should realize that Canadians have moved past it.

I can't stand Harper and I think the NDP is too Socila and will Have us in a defficiet situation in no time. I will vote Liberal since I think they offer a balance between the economic policies of the conservatives and the social of the NDP.

Woot^ for voting

Normally I would vote liberal, but not this time, this time I'm going NDP.

I don't want to be an ass about it but. If you vote for the NDP its like ur Voting for the conservatives. Its highly unlikely the NDP will win, if you want to ensure the conservatives don't win vote liberal. Better to deal with the devil you know anyway.

To bad Parliment was just a mouth piece for the Monarchy way back when.

And by the way, if we can finally separate, the Canadian government won't boycott us! And you won't be needing a passport to go from Québec to Ontario....The Canadian government won't hate us as much as some of you said....

I think they would, why should Quebec get a free ride.

Lot's of Québécois don't identify to the rest of Canada, I don't and I'm voting OUI (yes) when I have to!!

I would laugh at an independent Quebec! First of all Quebec is a have not provience and lives off the finincial support of Ontario, Alberta, and BC( the proviences that actually paymore then they recieve back from Ottawa). Leave us and that goes bye bye. Enjoy those social programmes that Quebec is famous for? How can you afford them if you leave! NAFTA was made by CANADA, Mexico and the United states, if Quebec wants in negotiate but until you do suffer. What about NORAD and NATO? Want a say in them, get a military! What about Federal Government buildings and HQs. I hope you plan on paying for them. If you really want to seperate I hope you enjoy the Corporate Exodus that happened during the last referendum. I hope you enjoy get new passports social insurance numbers, Cacnadian ones will not do for an independent Quebec! I hope you enjoy taking your share of the National debt and paying the rest of Canada back for the portion we gave you when we bought Ruperts Land(by the way the North doesn't want to seperate). I'd love to see an Indpendent Quebec survive with out being attached to the rest of Canada, who wants to do business in North America with a country that uses a monority language.

Je pense que les seperatists sont tres stupid, Quitter Canada si vous voulez mais vous échourerez! (I know I made mistakes but a bonus to Quebec leaving is, French would not be so important in Canada).

Not that this is My opinion and I forget who said it but...

The Only war the French Ever won was the French Revolution becuase no matter who won the French Had to win.

Alright, I'll concede those errors, but concerning the biggest error (adjusting for Canadian prices) theres not much guiding. I've no doubt that the US is just refusing to do recalculations simply because they don't want to reduce the tarrifs at all, it just seems dumb that NAFTA wont do it themselves, their obviously looking for a number they could easily just give it.

Well Nafta has no Taxing power the U.S. government does. They are the ones that have to set the rate or remove it.

Short and simple - the companies between the two countries should be negotiating the deals with each other, without government interference.

The Government has the power to tax not Companies so the governments should be working together to negotiate no the Companies.

You have to see our side too. You have said that we didn't completly win with the NAFTA panel, but the agreement was in our favour regardless, We shouldn't rediffine the terms and we shouldn't have to start an "embargo."

No matter what happens one side will lose and I doubt the States will be on the losing end.

In my opinion this is a blow to any free trade agreement that could be had with the United States. If they don't honour the agreemnets they make and If they don't listen to the bodies that govern the relationships why would they in the future. It seems to me like the United States, as someone else has already metioned, is taking the "do as I say not as I do" stance.

NO ONE is profiting from the tariffs, not even the american public, only the rich executives who want to line their pockets :|

It actually hurts the American Housing industry and ultimatly the American Consumer since they have to pay a higher price for lumber.

OPEC does not keep oil prices up they goal is to keep them steady. OPEC doesn't want to see the western economy the supports it collapse by raise full prices to the point where we can't aford to buy as much as we do.

I would have to disagree. Look at the turnout numbers and how it dropped when the voting age was lowered to 18. 18 year olds are fairly apathetic about the political process, and those that do end up voting often make ignorant or illinformed votes. Moreover, many 18 year olds, while adults, still are under the influence of their parents.

How can you tell? Your vote is a seceret anyways unless you tell everyone who you voted for even then you don't know why. You cannot also expect a person to know an entire platform and make a decision on it, no platform can represent a whole individual's wants and needs or vision for their country.

Unless your parents were never around I doubt that you do not think similair to them anyway. They raised you and gave you a values system or taught you how to behave right? I am sure some of there political points are yours too. If not then doesn't the prove that 18 year olds or any young adult can make opinions seperate from their parents?

I know I have a different view then my Dad. I support the Liberal party in Canada becuase I think they have a fair balance between socail progress and Economic progress. My Dad hates the liberals becuase of a scandel that happened within the party not the whole.

Well, they teach us at school (i swear its useful sometimes lol) that the Front de Liberation du Quebec (translation: Liberation front of Quebec... but I guess you figured it out anyway, eh) bombed a few statues and finally kidnapped two VIP's: James Cross, a British ambassador (not sure about that though) and a journalist. The government declared martial law (ooo I dunno if thats how you say that in english... well abolition of personal liberties, the army can arrest you, etc) and caught about the entire group. Thats about the only extremists we had in Quebec.

It was James Cross the Trade Commisioner and Pierre Laporte the Quebec minister of employment. I think the killed Laporte(not sure on spelling).

I think we will get so angery at the Danes that we will call a Danish a Freedom Roll instead.

Back in 95 we chased the Spainards from the grandbanks I am sure we can threaten Denmark too.

I strongly suggest that you -re-read the article.

No response to the Car or other high end imports and exports?

If you wish to debate the high end imports and exports that's fine with me, but start your own thread and research your own facts. I'm reffering to food and agriculture.

The topic is World Trade a Joke not Agricultural trade a joke. World trade includes trade in everything. SO this is the topic for it.

Also I have no problem if McDonalds get apples from another country anyway. People are demanding it and what they demand they get.

I enjoy all the Post Hoc fallicies and the Fallacy of Single causeation in this. The Iraq war happened the all oil price went up so people assume that this caused gas prices to go up. How much oil do you people think we got from Iraq before? Do you honestly think to that the US would take an action that would restrict oil supply and harm their oil dependent economy?
