  1. Treasure hunters mine the trust bust I think most Canadians will agree with the government on their move, a good one.
  2. Only to a Statistician and you. Then again a Statistician would have better things to do than try to troll someone for a response or arguement about insignificant numbers.
  3. Useless link.......test your link before you "add reply".
  4. If Harper is not pandering to homophobes, social conservatives and religious nuts, then why is he "re-visiting" same-sex marriage? It was not an election promise he needed to make. And given his history of flipflopping on election promises, it is not an election promise he needs to keep. Not very politically astute are you? Think about it. If he presents it now in a minority parliament, who's going to be in favour and who is going to be against? Why is he bringing it up if he knows it has no chance of passing? Because he said he would, and he won't have to deal with it again.
  5. Toronto Star-Some trusts in trouble long before Flaherty Here's one guy who says he should have known better than putting so many eggs in this basket. Maybe Greed prevailed for to many investors.
  6. Canada's Top Model? Idol? .......break a leg.
  7. Since you have put this into Moral&Religious Issues, what about today's show like "Smith" (cancelled) that makes a Heros out of the bad guys, or the CBC show Intelligence, or the Sopranos each of these type of shows seem to make being a bad guy as acceptable to the masses. Is this type of programming good for our society? What about the trend of writers doing scripts based on recent news stories, doesn't this blur reality from fiction? Story writing today is excellent(Lost,Prisonbreak),but I prefer to watch from downloads wthout the commercials,the interruptions drive me nuts.
  8. and Politicians will always be "bitchin'" about petty issues.
  9. Unlike the Liberals who's time has run out.
  10. The "they" you should be referring to is any party that has run this country or is trying to run this country, not just the present government. Do you know of any ruling government of Canada that didn't break a promise? "Better break your word than do worse in keeping it." - Fuller, Thomas
  11. I think you're confusing some Shakespearean play with the Orchard story. Julius Caesar maybe?
  12. When you get banned you will find out very quickly the next time you go to post.
  13. Changing the voting structure to the method you suggest will not change having a minority government. As long as we have more than two parties vying for the votes the odds of minority governments will always be present,even if you had 110% of the population voting. If you don't vote, you can't bitch about the government in power. An incentive to vote might help get people out to vote, like a $100 fine or a tax break,but if people don't care, they just don't care,and there is little one can do about it.
  14. With the ex wanting $23,000 a month tells me there's a lot of money involved and probably a couple of years in the courts. I think his mandate as a mayor will end before this divorce finalizes.
  15. So the catch phrase is "sufficient amount". I sent in mine about an annoying poster, now it's up to the rest of us to do the same. Do it today. It may get us back on track.
  16. The target IS 2050, like it or not. Read my lips,Harper,Layto,Dion,Iggy, and even Rae have made 2050 the target date. How can you take any politician seriously, if you want to see some other target date other than 2050? Time to join the Green party and stop pretending you're a Liberal.
  17. Good old "save the world " Jack. Globe and Mail Yes Jack is in a hurry and wants action,let's compare his urgent plan to the Government's: The goal is for the year 2050 for this plan. Also set to the year 2050. My,my, but Jack's plan is better because it's more "urgent" than the government's. Meanwhile...a word from the Liberals This coming from a party that did absolutely nothing about Kyoto during their 13 years in power...and who's prospective new leader(pick one) all have a plan very,very similar to the government........2050. Prediction-The Clean Air bill will pass......and ......to end in 2050,just as the Parliamentary committee on the environment recommended for.....2050.
  18. !999? !985? Jez, that was 21 years ago,hardly someone who IS IN Canada or can be considered resident Canadian.Hollywood has been so good to these people...sort of like Iggy coming forward after 30 years and saying he's a Canadian and knows what it's like living in Canada or understanding our current problems......they may be Canadians but they really can't relate unless they live here.Visiting and being active in Canadian politics is extemely hypocritical of this bunch,
  19. All these "Canadians" did just that Got big and left home.I'd like to see Canadians who live,work and stay in Canada get credit for staying.
  20. Prime for those who don't have to get up in the morning to go work...........Ah,I just figured out why it's prime viewing time on CBC.
  21. The initial amount of asbestos found was well below standards but the government wanted to do thorough inspection,suposedly to take two weeks. With a Million dollars being spent to house the squatters in a hotel for one month, why couldn't the government have an mass inspection in a couple of days? There a lot of companies who remove asbestos who could be hired to inspect without the million dollar price tag. Obviously Prentice doesn't think there is much concern about the asbestos if he's talking about renovation.
  22. Also in the equation is the fact that the Tsu'u T'ina don't want these squatters back. They are about to build a huge casino in those parts and these squatters will be a hinderance in attracting tourists to their casino. Good question,why is Prentice pushing to have them returned. Why not demolish the buildings instead of pumping $$ into those old army buildings just for squatters.
  23. Are you saying that with a straight face? How can you assure anything? Inside information?
