I am perplexed over the terms we are using to describe our Canada. We speak in Terms of Left and Right, but with Big L...Little L... Big C... Little C....confused?
In my world only 2 things must be considered... those two things that Governments must rule by are Right or Wrong... and too many things are wrong.. hence higher taxes and companies leaving our country and somewhere around 24% of Canadians are unemployed or underemployed... Right or Wrong is what must be decided... J

You're blaming the wrong people for the right things. A lot of the things you complain about are the fault of the Right. I am a 'leftist' to put it broadly and I can tell you that most left of center thinkers support high tax because it allows for Canada's famous healthcare and other services. I DO support individual success but do we really want to live in a country where the ones with control are the rich? Where it doesn't take political savvy to become a leader? Where interest in human rights is always on the back burner? The 'upper class' is a minority in a sense only because there are few of them, but they are in a position where they can become the oppressors, the controllers through money rather than through democracy. Money should NOT control democracy the way it does. There is no denying that the rich can afford to manipulate the opinions of the less politically mindful.
I do NOT support a government where 40% of the vote can result in +50% control of Parliament. This should NOT be the case. The Omnibus Law Bill is an example of the advantage held by the Tories, it blatantly denies easily interpreted statistics and will not improve crime. The long gun registry is VERY important; do you want a peace officer to walk up to a door with a warrant and not know that there is a gun in the building? Private prisons, why even ask; we've seen the failure of that system in the US. Mandatory minimum sentences will eliminate the need for judges, first offenders will not be given mercy and with the technicalities of Canadian law many innocent (in actuality) people will go to jail. The changes coming to our nation are for the worst. It is the doing of the Right.
I did NOT adopt the political opinions of my parents. They were more right-oriented. My left swinging attitude is not an act of rebellion either; I'm merely realistic I observed reality and read reports and stories. My conclusions are NOT in favor of the RIGHT.

I watched your program for the first time to-night on Vision TV. I was interested in the interview you did with the person stationed in Ottawa representing the Canadian Taxpayers Association.
In this regards, a possible topic for a future show on the Daily Split is a debate about this statement: The Federal Government said that ALL Canadians are to be responsible to finance their own retirement except of course for the basic Social Security Pension. At the same time why are the MP's in Canada entitled to those more than gross Golden Pensions taken from the SAME taxpayers. Why are MP's not required to be fully responsible for their own pension plans and retirement funding?
I believe the right answer will only come from the House Of Common Sense.

Gun Law marking, why you can not weld a tag onto the gun to identify it? It should not cust much and Canadain labour.

The Left - Right comparison is so far off... I don't know where to start short of deleting the entire left portion and re-writing it entirely. The right one is pretty accurate but not what the "right leaning" parties of north america do in practice...
