Never claimed I was ok with it. This thread is about the Ontario Liberals and you brought up the Harper scandals. I pointed out that this is Ontario and we are cursed with a government just as corrupt if not more so than the Federal government. I lean toward more so but that is my biased coming out.

They lost......It is what the french do. We pat their heads and say "Now now we will get you a bigger bottle" and send them off to their room for a calm down. Business is in English, Our largest trading partner and neighbor speaks English. Canada was part of the British Empire that speaks.....that's right English. Common sense would dictate that if by some miracle a little rational thought happened we would just dump this bilingual waste of time and let nature take its course.

Franco-Quececors have instituted the language police. If you were to ask this question to a rational person I think they would agree. The issue is that this would have to be dealt with by governments. Every language group in Quebec would go crazy and protest would start in english speaking people in rural Ontario that might be affected by this.

This would take too much common sense and cause the language gestapo collective heads to explode on both sides of the provincial borders. Quebec would say that English speakers were trying to kill their heritage of losing wars,crying for dollars,etc,etc. While the people in Ontario would just likely ignore it. End of the day nobody of any political stripes will touch this.

And now we know the thought process when native children were kidnapped and sent to schools. Or how slave owners sold children and took them away from their parents. So much for evolution.

So all your rants and insults were wrong than? Are you saying knowledge is important and us neanderthal's are not quite off the mark after all. Good for you. I am impressed. This I agree with. Why it always has to be one or the other and not trying to blend the strong points of the methods so a better way could be found.

Still. It shows yet again that discovery learning is failing in this aspect of teaching. What will you do when it changes? If of course somebody has enough sense and courage to admit that it is not working Admit all your rants and insults were wrong?

Westcoast bridge - a coloured rainbow
Ash74 replied to WestCoastRunner's topic in Sex and Gender Issues
Yet you were ok with the term "retarded"? The politically correct population scare me. Lets fight for the window dressing when that war was already won. Who cares about bigger picture issues? Honestly I think a rainbow bridge would be ugly and tacky. Plant your flag for the victory parades and move on. -
Wynne creates new jobs....for Chile
Ash74 replied to drummindiver's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Us righties were complaining about it when the liberals screwed up the subway contracts, so we cannot have it both ways. Please do not feel I think Wynne has done a good job with this. I do not feel she has the ability to do a good job, But it would be silly to open up yet another lawsuit for work not done. I think we have all seen enough of those in the past -
Wynne creates new jobs....for Chile
Ash74 replied to drummindiver's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
You do not think Wynne would make political noise if Harper indeed forces her to go to Chili? I know Harper is responsible for everything that is wrong with the universe since the beginning of time and before that it was Mike Harris but how do you justify blaming this on the corporations? -
How is this news? Duffy gets a check to hide his expenses and everybody is all up in arms. Wynne gets her staff to bribe a guy away from running and nothing is said. Harper foolishly spends millions on ads and he is the devil. The Ontario Liberals spend over a billion buying a few seats at Queen's park but that is just the game. It is a huge double standard.

This is not the first time we have discussed the math programs in Canada. Now we are seeing more and more that the basic fundamentals are not being learned by today's students. How is this a surprise? Besides teachers are too busy fighting for raises in Ontario right now to be that concerned. Oh yeah, it is not about money....right...

NDP Make Big Move in Latest EKOS Poll
Ash74 replied to Keepitsimple's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
So you do want an income tax but only for the rich? Define rich? I have seen some pretty strange ideas what rich is to the Liberals and NDP I agree that a consumption tax is a better way to go. Less bureaucracy. -
How Much Do "Enviro" Policies Help the Environment?
Ash74 replied to jbg's topic in Health, Science and Technology
We have actually changed our life style in our house because of the hydro bill. It started as a spite game but now we look for as much as we can for area's too save. We cut cable and home phones now only paying for the internet. We have internet boxes hooked up to our tv's so no need for cable or the taxes on that and we have cell phones. I also paid cash for the boxes so did not pay tax. Use Kijiji for any purchases I can to avoid HST and recycling fee's. Buy gas on the rez for a little cheaper. It is on my way to work and the coffee place is pretty good and tax free. We also only do laundry at night or weekends. I have not figured out how to feed my kids after 7 pm when they have school in the morning so we gave that up but BBQ season is about to start so that will help. I have been nickel and dime for years so now we are looking at ways to avoid it. There is a huge economy boom if you know where to look and with the prices about to go even higher it should have more of a selection. -
Most of the rightwingers here I think do not see it as an accomplishment for women but as a human being it is a huge personal achievement for this woman. Could it be that the left is still fighting a battle that the right see's as a human right that should make no difference whether it is a man or woman. Get with the times lefties us right wing,gun toting tax hiding rednecks have evolved past you on this one.
