Not quite correct. If a bill fails to pass and IF the bill is a confidence vote then the government is dissolved. Not all bills are confidence votes. A budget is ALWAYS a confidence vote for example but not every bill is declared confidence. Also individual MP's are allowed to vote their conscience in some instances. You are not always forced to vote with the party.
As for the liberals not allowing the gov to fall and so going along with the Conservatives just to avoid it, historically we the Canadian people vote against a party who has too many elections in a short period of time. In this case, it would be the conservatives since they would force it into a vote of confidence not knowing they would win it hands down. Only the party in power can declare a confidence vote.
Actually the way the governments are set up, a Canadian PM has more power within the government than an American President. A PM is head of both the Exec and legislative arms while the President is head of only the Exec.
Granted when you consider things like money, military, and such the President has more power in those ways.
Well, up here in Canada you just throw the 1 and 2 dollar coins on the stage and afterwards the stripper has a large magnet on a rope which she quickly drags around the stage to collect it all.
They are talking about throwing more bodies at designing and actually coding the product. You are talking about throwing more bodies at reviewing the product. Huge difference in my humble opinion.
Hmmm, so only fags can have AIDS? The joke never mentioned fags or gays or homosexuality. Why did you? I agree the joke was tasteless. However you are just as bad for assuming AIDS/HIV = Homosexuality. And to nitpick, your Cancer and diabetic analogies are wrong. You can't spread either to another person. A good example to have used would have been Hepatitis C.

Alberta and Manitoba also have a drinking age of 18. I know this having grown up in the latter.
