JoeMama and WilliePete* My mistake.

Thank you for the reply, JoeMama. I'm not advocating for or against this proposal, I'm just curious as to if it's ever happened, because there have been so many different interesting amendment proposals.

Hi Emily, I understand better what you are arguing now. Thanks for the reply. I just don't understand the logic because of course there will be bias, so voting on (1.) the constitutional grounds of the bill AND (2.) the content of the bill seems like you will most likely in MOST cases get about...

Hello! I'm just an American wanting to learn more about the current political events happening in Canada. Can anyone please give me some nonpartisan (at least to the best of their ability) news sources that I could learn more about Canadian government? Thanks so much!

I think it would be extremely interesting for Johnson to be on the stage. When I saw he was polling at 12 in a poll, I was really surprised media didn't cover it more than I saw. I honestly think he will be past the 15% mark by debate time. Did you happen to see Romney talk about the...
