I Don't Understand!

I don't understand why deeply religious people believe we need religion in order to prevent chaos, anarchy in the streets? They fear that without religion and the fear of hell that people will act in an immoral way. The only reason people are good is to appease God. If anything that position makes me wonder about their behaviour, which is motivated by selfish interests rather than common decency and respect for others.

I did not know that by agreeing to the implementation of the HST that the Ontario government gave up the right to raise, or lower the tax. That seems to be what Jim Flaherty is saying.

I don't understand right-wingers position on transit. I know they want subways but they don't want to raise revenues to pay for them. I don't know how they resolve this issue? Flaherty wont allow Ontario to raise the HST but will not give the city any more funds for transit. Ford wont raise any revenues and yet wants to build subways. The province has a $13B deficit and can't afford to pay anymore for transit.
What is the right-wing solution?  Do you cut hospitals and education funding like Mike Harris? The same Harris that filled in the tunnel for the Eglinton subway and sold Hwy. 407 for a song.

I don't understand why Premier Wynne would threaten to intervene in the Mayor Ford crisis. At least Ford has a mandate to govern from the voters and did not participate in the criminal gas plant fiasco.

I don't understand why the Senate Committee is holding a closed door investigation into the imperious Pamela Wallin's expenses. The same Senate committee that whitewashed the original Duffy investigation. If you listen to Harper he has written off Duffy but he is holding out for the potential redemption of Wallin. Harper appointed Duffy and Wallin to the Senate so that they  could campaign full-time in rural Canada on the taxpayers dime. They are what passes off as celebrities in this country. Celebrities with massive egos and a sense of entitlement that would make Donald Trump blush.

I don't understand why media celebrities in Canada believe they are entitled to taxpayer funded government appointments at the end of their career. Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy are only two examples. Even Peter Mansbridge's salary is paid by the taxpayer. Adrienne Clarkson reportedly demanded that PM Chretien appoint her as head of the CBC, or as Governor General. Demanded, as if she was entitled to the job for service to country.
