  2. Right, let's throw some more evidence out there to back my assertions. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-153210/Rumsfeld-helped-Iraq-chemical-weapons.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/iraq/stories/wartech091790.htm http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-and-iraq-go-way-back/ I'll just pose this link as to not be accused of 'selective quoting' by certain MLW members.

  3. That's not true for globalization, automation or immigration. If a buck can be made, conservatives will support change. In the US, Republicans have played a double game on immigration, protesting about it publicly and facilitating it privately for their wealthy donors. Democrats have supported it for other reasons but at least they have been more consistent.

  4. You're free to think Canada gave Iraq nerve gas...or the USA...or Israel...etc. Those folks are too stupid to make these things without our assistance...am I right???

  5. Calgary 3.0567 cents per kwh, all the time anytime. https://www.enmax.com/home/electricity-and-natural-gas/tariffs/rro And we *just started* moving my neighborhood over to LED streetlights, so I can imagine demand will get even lower. I even shut off my natural gas furnace and tried heating the house with just electricity. Its so much nicer, complete silence instead of that whoosh of hot air and banging ducts every hour. You Ontarioans are getting screwed on bills bigtime.

  7. This is something i do not understand, most Canadian families, that have been here a couple or more generations , have had relatives serve in our military, to take up arms for this nation.....some families paid a steep price with one or more sons, some towns and villages were gutted by the loss of so many of their sons and daughters...i don't think there is a town or village without a monument dedicated to their memory. these monuments are gathering points for the towns. Once a year on , NOV 11, so we may honor them, remember them, because that is the pledge we took, and we retake every year in their name sake....."we shall remember" but lately that is where it stops..... Canadians have known the cost of war, and the pain that comes with all of that, and while it is not fresh in their minds they have become numb to our militaries condition today, to the point they are hostile to it, evident here , and other forums as well..... I'm not sure what to say, except, we the soldiers, airmen, and sailors are not your enemy....but rather one of you....

  8. We don't. The shortage of doctors is due to policy. It could be alleviated by changing policy but we aren't doing so. As for other workers, there is no skills shortage. A second study in less than a week has concluded that there is no labour shortage in Canada, nor is one expected to arrive in the next few decades. A study published Friday by a University of Lethbridge professor echoes results of a report by the federal government’s Parliamentary Budget Office released Tuesday — both conclude there are more than enough workers on a national basis in Canada to fill available jobs. http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Study+debunks+Canadian+labour+shortage/9674478/story.html Dire warnings of a widespread Canadian labour crisis and a “lost generation” of young workers have been overblown, according to a market analysis by TD Economics. Deputy chief economist Derek Burleton says demographic and economic shifts may be hitting young workers particularly hard, but he doesn’t believe projections of across-the-board labour shortages and skills gaps. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/10/21/skills-gap-canada-labour-shortage_n_4138487.html Our population would be stabilized with immigration at only 100,000 http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/91-003-x/2007001/figures/4129879-eng.htm Canada would have to take in 2.6 million immigrants a year by 2020 and seven million by 2050 — raising its population to 165.4-million — if it wants to keep its ratio of retirees-toworkers at its current 20%, according to a study from the C.D. Howe Institute. http://www.pressreader.com/canada/national-post-latest-edition/20060927/282389804967681

  9. It's our planet that's in a state of constant war Wilber and it won't be ending anytime soon despite the War to End All Wars that you're celebrating.

  10. How much money is spent on immigration and refugees every year in Canada ? Why not use that money to fund either child care, or increase child care benifits....Pay Canadians to have more babies......and then cut back on immigration....
