Talk:Bev Oda

Untitled
Then perhapse you need to go over to the Sarmite Bulte page and remove all of the references to people criticising her stance on copyright laws as well. I feel that this can be portrayed in an NPOV light in the same way.

I also feel that removing my comments in the discussion area is not in the spirit of the nature of the discussion area for I believ that the discussion area was meant to discuss and/or propose additions to the article.

Thanks.

 * I don't have any involvement with the Bulte page. In her case, however, there were national press reports about the fundraising dinner -- you haven't shown evidence of the same here.


 * This isn't the place for negative campaigning, regardless of the parties involved (I mean that literally and figuratively). CJCurrie 21:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. when I do get stronger bits of evidence (minus the occasional and casual post by Michael Geist) I'll be sure to post the suggestion here for review.

That would be acceptable. Sorry if we started out on the wrong foot. CJCurrie 01:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Good to see we are no longer at odds with each other. I recently came accross a transcript of Bev Oda. Though it might not be a perfect example on where she stands on issues like this, it does highlight her activity in this field at the very least. transcript. There is also commentary (though I get the feeling you might think of it as biased) by Russel McOrmond here. I'll leave it up to you to decide how to interpret the transcript. :)

It's not biased so much as speculative. Anyway, I'm not sure this is Oda's personal view so much as Conservative policy. CJCurrie 21:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I was hoping the CIPPIC questions would clear things up in terms of party policy on the Conservatives side on issues like this as it has definitively been shrouded in mystery. In terms of some policies from their end, it has been oddly hard to come by for answers. I think that more answers can be obtained after the election, if the rumours remain true that she could be the next minister of heritage and how she plans to deal with the copyright debate if she does become the next minister of heritage. I'll put my efforts to work with a Conservative candidate who seems destined to have his seat in office anyway to try to gain some more clarity on the issues so it can be possible to figure out what the parties policy is and what her personal stance is. Truly looks like a 'wait-and-see' situation.

"recently argued in favour of allowing more Canadian and foreign programming options in the country." What does this even mean? Everything in the world is either Canadian or foreign. As opposed to what?Thes entinel 15:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Corruption
Why are the documented cases of political corruption (and even the alleged cases) under the basic "Cabinet minister" heading? Should they not have their own section as they would with any politician that had those sort of scandals attributed to them? brill (talk) 14:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I have to agree with you there. Of course, neocons and harperites will come in here and try and whitewash everything, but let's do it anyway. Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Early Life & Education
This article is about Bev Oda, not Bev Oda's parents. For the purposes of this Wikipedia article, I don't really care who her parents were or what they did, except for background purposes. And yet, the "Early life, education" section mentions more about her parents than it does about her. In fact, only the first and last sentences of that section even mention anything about Bev Oda. Well that's just great; At least we know where she went to university. So... for all anyone reading this article knows, she was born in Thunder Bay, and then for a long time nothing happened... until suddenly she sprung fully-formed into the College of Arts at the UofT. Amazing! But seriously, anyone out there have any clue about Bev's childhood? What High School did she attend? What were her interests as a child or a young adult? Anything at all about that time of her life would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk • contribs) 01:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Which riding?
According to the article, she was elected in 'Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge in the 2004 federal election,' and 'In the 2006 election, she successfully defended her seat in Durham with 47% of the vote in the riding.' Perhaps it should be clarified that the riding was re-named in 2004. 206.47.31.190 (talk) 15:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. Should it say that she was elected in 2004 and the riding's name changed or should the name change be mentioned when the article discusses her 2006 re-election? Also is there a source available? Nuttster99 (talk) 15:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

When we were 6
Not sure if you’ll get this, Bev, but we were friends when we were six. Care to reconnect? 104.219.124.162 (talk) 21:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
