WHICH IDEOLOGY BEST SUITS ME!!!

i believe i am a centralist or liberal. I believe in both sides and what they believe in. I'm a lil bit right win and a lil bit left wing. I believe i roll mostly towards the right wing but for the most part i believe that the liberals have he best idea to just stay in the middle and lean which every way the people of the country wish to go. for a example i believe we should keep tradition and but still move forward and the centralist's are right inbetween there with me so ya'ya go liberals ill still blame them for every thing thought.

I went to the legislature in Victoria BC it was a blast and i got to mean Rick Thorpe the MP from the Okanaugan. it was a blast ( I'm the tall guy in that back row beside the teacher looking person on the left side) it was fun, my whole class is in the picture. IT WAS AWSOME PAUSOM

Chinese Head Tax Redress

On Tuesday October 10/06 Prime Minister Steven Harper was at a dinner that was hosted by the Chinese Immigration group. This dinner was over the Chinese head tax that was put up back in 1885 to 1923. This tax made every Chinese immigrant to Canada pay $50 and later $500. Today though Steven Harper gave a formal apology to every one it has effected in the house of commons. all 400 Chinese immigrants that had to pay this tax $20,000. I believe this is the right thing to do and i agree with what Steven Harper has done. I think that $20,000 is a little bit to much and we probably should be giving out a little bit less but none the less i do agree with what is being done about it.
