http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/ I truly believe that Paul Martin and Stephen Harper are of the utmost highest caliber individuals. They have risen to become leaders of the two most powerful political parties in Canada. One of them is Prime Minister, and the other is a hopeful contender. Both men are successful, intelligent, and well spoken. They both have wonderful visions for Canada, as do the parties they represent. Yet, sadly, they and their parties are both failing our country miserably. Why? Well the reason isn't simple. But the reason I will give you, for lack of space and time, will be simple, and while my toungue is somewhat in cheek, I believe what I say to be true. These parties, and the Canadian public, have become so fake, so worried about what they say and do, so "gutless" in worrying about how it will appear in the media, and how it will be spun to the population, that everything they say, everything they do, is so fully scripted and absolutely poll-driven, politically correct, and special-interest group based, that they have paralyzed themselves, their opinions, their true visions, their true feelings, and the country as a result. We are stuck in a non-real battle. Not a battle of real ideas of any substance. But a battle of who can make the other look the worst. Forget the pundits. Forget the media. Forget what "everyone thinks". Paul and Steve... you guys are both honest, smart, good people! How have you let your handlers take you this far down the wrong path? It truly is a shame. Well.... what to do? The old batch, Paul and Stephen included, need to be tossed out by their parties. Because there are two guys waiting in the wings, whether they know it or not, whether they believe it or not, that would do this country a great service by stepping forward. And I'm speaking of none other than Ben Mulroney and Justin Trudeau. Ben, son of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Justin, son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Also both great men in their political hayday. Ben, who I believe has inherited from his father a love of the country, a good heart, a charismatic personality, and the ability to lead, speak his mind, be himself, and set a clear vision for our country. Justin, a French Canadian Liberal, with all the personal qualities needed to be a great leader, not to mention the lineage of arguably one of Canada's all time most straightforward, to the point, and while loved by some and hated by others, certainly respected by all as Prime Minister. Step up to the plate boys! Liberal and Conservative parties, throw the old batch out, and bring in the new! Let's talk about ideas... let's get some life back into our political system, and let's get rid of all the fakeness! All in favour.... ? =) Sat, 25 Jun 2005 05:1:50 CDT en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig3215609 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I find Justin Trudeau deserves it more than Ben Mulroney... I appreciate this petition alot!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig2866933 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I have always believed that children are best qualified to do the job of their parents. Like a heridatary monarchy, Ben or Justin is the best choice to lead their parents parties. It has worked for hundreds of years in Europe and Asia and only recently have we used democracy to select our leaders with disasterous, stupid results where governments change every few months and there is no long term vision. Democracy is a passing fad. It's time to go back to hereditary rule and enjoy the stability and predictability that the rest of the world enjoyed for centuries. The Bush dynasty reveals that America is coming to this realization. Canada should too. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig2295952 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Only because of Justin Trudeau. How the hell did Ben get the Canadian Idol gig? What has he done to deserve this? Maybe it's because the show's target market is too young to remember that his father is arguably THE most hated (ex)politician in the country. I'd rather see one of the amateurs from CITY-TV or Much Music handle those duties. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig2131525 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I just heard Justin Trudeau speak on The Hour ... and wow, he blew me away. This boy needs to lead this country, and ASAP. It would seem his head is in the right place ... moreso than PM Harper or Martin. While we're at it ... why not vote in George Stombolopolous in the mix too!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig2030407 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. This country needs new legends to be created for the future. This would be something like the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. We need leaders that can actually take its population, not their pockets, into consideration http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1876284 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do not support this petition. For the love of god, would you have faith in the system and the fact that Canadians can turn out some pretty brilliant minds, before automatically crowning the sons of former prime ministers king. Those two guys, and I can't stress enough, are both retarded drama queens. Jesus. We need people who have vision and ideas, not just a famous name and "charisma" as you call it. Grow up. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1786260 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. I do indeed agree with the right comments about Justin Trudeau and do believe in him, I think that his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau and his son, Justin Trudeau are the modern patron saints of Canada. We need a new and fresh leader who understands the youth and the yearns of the older population. Canada is on a wrong road and is being taken on the wrong road, everyone seems to be overlooking this fact or turning a blind eye. Furthermore, it seems to me people are taking Canada for granted and Canadians for granted. The political parties and the political leaders do not have any fresh and innovative visions to take Canada to the future for the better and I do mean for the better. Justin Trudeau is the one! I support Justin Trudeau All the Way. I wish I could meet and speak with him, and would love to tell him how much I loved and admired his father and who remains dear in my heart always, I loved what he did for this Country. I would hate to see the rest of the population who are against Canada finish destroying it. Today is Valentine's Day and I admire Justin Trudeau who is about ten years younger than myself but I can see a great and remarkable man do wonders for this Country - Canada. I do not know if Ben Mulroney knows enough about politics to comment about. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1726782 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1694520 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support half of this petition. The half that involves the fabulous Justin Trudeau! I have been saying it for years! But Ben Mulroney...? Please! His IQ on a good day is equivalent to that of a mouse. Watching him on CTV is painful, he is a masogonist (like daddy) and truly not that bright. At least Justin gives back to Canada (ie: Environment, David Suzuki Foundation, Avalanche efforts) While Ben has given us so much, E-Talk Daily.....? Seriously no competition! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1681908 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1669789 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Sure, I say let Ben Mulroney run the country. But just the name Trudeau makes my blood run cold. Didn't his father do enough damage? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1665686 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The essence of Pierre lives in Justin, and he would win by a landslide. He's the man for the job, IMO. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1663947 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Justin Trudeau, like his famous father, would sweep the country. He's our one great hope for one great Canada. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1661676 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I don't agree on the Ben Mulroney side, but I would like to see the Trudeau boys become more involved in Canadian Politics. I was impressed with the wartime report from Iraq done by Sacha, it was gutsy and honest. When you think about that, BM is a definite lightweight, not even in the same league. Etalk daily and Canadian Idol? Ack. Who cares what school he went to - look what he's doing with it. It's clearly 'all about Ben'. So there. No to Ben, yes Sacha and Justin. (and in case you're wondering, I don't vote Liberal, I vote Green) http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1660743 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. What we need now is Justin as a French Canadian to lead the liberals and eliminate the notwithstanding clause...justice for all, not just the US corperate cronies. Saving young lives from war, torture, berievement of civil rights and death..what better empowerment for youth (or absence of disempowerment)!! You want to empower youth, step up to the plate now, Justin, Canada & the world need you desperately. (Michael Ignatieve still thinks Canada should be in Iraq!) Ben would only prove that corperate media can retread anything and sell it to the Canadian people. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1622471 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I agree wholeheartedly! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1609807 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Martin's screwing us over, Harper's talking through his ass, Duceppe wants to separate and Layoton just seems absolutley lost. what am i getting at? I'm 18 yrs old.. im new to this whole thing but the only logical thing to me would be to vote for the green party seeing as though their the only one's who shut their mouths and actually have a goal. As for the mulrooney/trudeau thing.. im all for trudeau but im not too fond of mulrooney. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1583606 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. Well half of it anyway.... Ben Mulroney??? please. Justin Trudeau....now you're talking. It is just a matter of time anyway http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1580514 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Just because you're the child of a leader it doesn't make you a good leader. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/outwithold_inwithnew/#sig1482154 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition.
