Green Party of Canada - is the "Green Tax Shift" a regressive tax? Please see edits by past GPC candidate Eric Walton on the topic. Homey 03:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Eyeonvaughan - A User conduct RfC regarding a regular editor on the Vaughan saga. pm_shef 20:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:Mario Racco - Is the part of the article talking about "how the gazebo was paid for" as well as the external link at the bottom (to the partisan vaughan watch website) PoV, or is it valid for inclusion? pm_shef 00:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:Susan Kadis - Is the issue of MP lunches significant enough to merit discussion in Kadis' article?
Talk:Scarborough, Ontario - Is "Scarberian" a pejorative term? If so, what do you call someone from Scarborough? Scarboroughite? Probably not. Skeezix1000 12:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:Bill Graham - Should his article acknowledge or address the existence of rumours about his sexual orientation? (The discussion is not whether we should give undue credence to the rumours or claim them as proven, but merely whether his article should acknowledge that such rumours exist.)
The article on the Manitoba Progressive Conservative leadership election, 2006 was created by me some time ago right after Stuart Murray's resignation and has fallen WAY out of date. It is listed on the articles to improve page but I wonder if people have missed it. Any takers on this one? - Jord 17:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:McGill Redmen - Dispute over inclusion of hazing incident. Ardenn 14:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:The Ottawa Hospital - Shold Ottawa Health Research Institute be part of this article? Ardenn 14:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nancy McFadyen - currently on WP:PROD, which I agree with, but could be expanded into an article on the R. Howard Webster Foundation (879,000 Google hits but I can't find an article). Alph a x ^τεχ 06:16, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Joe Volpe - is the late 2005 controversy over pizza lunches important enough to warrant mention on this article. CJCurrie 23:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:Green Party of Canada #Wikipedia Green-off 2006: Which Green is the Green for the Greens? Help decide which green is the green for the greens. 07:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Barbara Amesbury - What is the appropriate way to write about a transwoman who was already notable before her transition?
Anthony Reale a couple users keep adding fawning opinions about this election candidate, could somebody please take a look at it. - SimonP 07:30, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The template Politics of Canada was completely changed from a list of the main parts of the three branches of the Canadian government to a list of elections some weeks ago and no one seemed to notice or comment on this. Was this by accident or design? The template was not on my watch list and when I had seen this new form around I thought it was a new template, I only noticed when on Supreme Court of Canada and was confused as to why there was a list of elections there and then wondered where the old template was. - Jord 04:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Does Bev Desjarlais belong in the LGBT Opposition category? Although she voted against C-38, her record on other issues is pro-LGBT. I'm concerned that the category (which is already fairly contentious for some posters) is being applied too broadly in this instance. CJCurrie 03:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is she still actively persuing political life following the last election results? I'm just wondering if she needs to be categorized at all in this context? Weaponofmassinstruction 19:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Halifax Bands 1990s - Requires a bit of discussion. Name isn't consistent with Wikipedia rules for category names, but it's unclear what the most appropriate option would be: Category:Halifax Pop Explosion (the official name of the "scene")? Category:1990s Halifax bands (the least confusing to an outsider)? Just delete it as unnecessary overcategorization? See Category talk:Halifax Bands 1990s for discussion. Bearcat 08:34, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Crown copyright - A further attempt to seek clarification on the matter of Crown copyright.
- Added draft letter to request permission for Gov't of Canada.
