Come on Pell be honest. You know in your heart that a large farm cannot be a province. PEI cannot survive without handouts. It is a vassal province. There are some options that vassals always can consider: 1. Eastern amalgamation of the 4 provinces into one. or 2. Every PEI resident becomes a personal slave of someone in Toronto. You will have to do what we say for one year. At least then we have some satisfaction of sending money your way. or 3. We sell PEI off to real estate investors and take the profits back to Toronto. I think we should do # 2 first, followed by one. If they fail, enact #3. This would make everyone happy. Or maybe we just invade and take it over.

Well Pell i hope the ride is short. I am voting for Happy Howie, Ontario's most rotund politician, as a protest against Slicky Hair Eves. Uncle Ernie forfeited the trust of true Conservatives a long time ago. Even Harris' reforms were not far reaching enough.

I would agree. Any agency that lies about global warming so it can transfer dollars from the north to the south and to Russia, under the pre-text of saving the world is not to be trusted. The only thing dumber than such ploys are people who actually believe in their veracity...... But the US economy thanks to Tax cuts, low rates and liquidity as well as higher productivity [equals future jobs and profits], is now roaring. 6 % growth right now, for 2003 it will be close to 4 %. You need 3.5 % growth to generate good jobs. Canada is muddling along at 1.5 % - 2.0 %. Jobs are being lost here, but are usually not reported with the same furor that job gains are. In fact we have lost about 150.000 manufacturing jobs this year. As for Clinton - an utter disgrace of a leader. Smarmy, reprehensible, a perjurer, lazy on terror and a liar. Nice combo. No wonder the Lie-berals love him.

Yes push upwards all decisions regarding our lives. -Environment ? Yes Yes global cooling [1975] er global warming [1997] or global something is here and will kill us all ! So let's tax and regulate. That solves everything ! -Military ? No need for one the US bastards will protect us as long as the UN security council composed of anti-liberal France, anti-liberal Russia, anti-China and pro-liberal UK say yes ! -Health ? As long as the WHO or WHAT are happy we are good boys and girls ! -Human Rights ? Well now the UN has stated we abuse Indians and are bad. hmm what do do ? How about give them more money, mineral rights and land rights !! Yes farcical. You wonder why we even need Federal politicians here.

The UN fails because of the following: -Anachronistic security council -International affairs are anarchic not subject to world governance and selfish interests dominate -There is good and evil in the world which the UN blithely and ignorantly ignores -The UN is bloated, wastes money and is trying to do too much -The UN stole $21 billion from Iraqi's during the 1990s - the money is sitting in French banks -The UN is hostage to dictators and 3rd world cranks -The UN has never proven itself able to resolve any notable conflict including Somalia; Kosovo; Central Africa; Afghanistan; Iraq; Palestine; Chechnya; Ivory Coast; Falkland Islands; East Timor. The UN is a socialist experiment at equality, sameness, bromides about love and fear mongering regarding the environment, capitalism and progress. It is a waste of time and money and needs reform, to be scaled down and have the security council reconstituted.

Who can blame them ? The French do little to help, paralyzed by their 8 million Muslims who apparently hold the French political system in thrall. Hard to understand the advanced feminity of a man like Chirac or even Schroeder. The Twin Towers of European Cowardice. Playing the demagogues, extolling the virtues of European greatness, welfare, regulations, closed markets, and lest we not forget killing poor 3rd world people via CAP and other tariffs and subsidies. Yes a wonderful moral place is Europe.....except for Communism, Fascism, the Holocaust, Hitler, Napoleon, a few World Wars here and there.......

Well the US owes Mexico NOTHING. The stupidity of the Liberals is that they are teaching the Mexican illegal immigrant that US history is not worth understanding and that Mexican culture is at least equal if not superior. This is rancid ignorance. The Jews, Poles, Italians, Irish, Chinese, Japanese and others were all discriminated against, but were forced to assimiliate. In Cali, Asians have above average incomes - more on average than Whites. Far from being a poor minority they have assimiliated, worked, understood what America means and have prospered. That is the way to get ahead. Not with post modern drivel about relativity, guilt, rewriting history and human rights mumbo jumbo. The Cali State Uni has 62 courses on Chicano Studies and one on US history. Something is wrong with that.

Hey genius, the recession - the very small one that occured - was over in Nov 2001. Thanks for joining us in 2003 however. The recession started in 2000 due to the bubble bursting under Clinton's poor stewardship. If you recall Bush did not take office until after the Markets had started to collapse. Hey but what are facts and evidence in your little world anyways. Stick to what Lie-berals do best - slander and rewrite history !

Brilliant discourse Pellaken utter genius. Yes Man and Saskabush should not be provinces, they were created for political reasons. However both those provinces dwarf in importance the Farmland of PEI - a little island that cannot sustain itself. Jurisdictions are necessary to promote civil governance. Canada has simply too much of it. Too many levels, too many politicians and burdensome amount of bureaucratic gibbons scampering on the landscape. There should be 1 Eastern Cdn Province. And this entity should not sustain itself on handouts from Toronto. If you want political autonomy, want respect, want to build up a society that means something, stop depending on handouts. Or like I said, we in Toronto should reserve the right to sell your little island and reclaim our investment.

The US is closing the border. Under Bush a fence has been built between San Diego and Tijuana. More needs to be done to stop illegal immigration but guess who opposes it ? -Big Business [due to cheap labor] -University Professors [many of whom employ mexican help to manicure their lawns and take care of their homes] -Immigration lawyers [who make a mint of elevating the cause of Casar Chavez] -Politicians [buying votes and crying] -Media [usually wrong and divorced from reality] Illegal immigration should be stopped period. No ifs, no ands no buts. The above consortium of special interests are preventing meaningful reform and refusing to accept some obvious facts: 1. Apartheid cultural sensitivity has failed. 2. Assimiliation is vital. 3. Illegal immigrants decrease artificially, wages, and impact significantly the existing poor underclass. 4. Mexico needs reform and allowing illegal immigration does nothing to further that reality. Time for change.

I don't agree with Al Hunt on much - he is a typical revisionist Lie-beral - but for once Al is right on. "As compensation scandals go the Grasso debacle pales next to some. Dennis Kozlowski hauled in $71 million last year as CEO for Tyco, while allegedly using the corporate treasury as a personal piggybank -- and cutting jobs and losing shareholders' value. Rather than criminality, the Grasso caper is about avarice. But his compensation, secretly arranged, for the head of a quasi-public, quasi-regulatory institution, is illustrative of this gilded age of greed." Grasso and his ilk just don't get it. You don't destroy the bottom line and your company's reserves to pay yourself obscene income and severance. This is why capitalism has its critics. This is why we have criminal codes, board of directors and shareholder lawsuits.

Quote from a speech Brown gave recently - he is right - bascially he wants US styled tax, labor and regulatory reforms within Europe. "First, Europe -- both within the euro area and outside it -- must reject old models that failed and embrace labor market flexibility combined with policies that equip people with the skills they need for work. Because just 5% of Americans out of work experience unemployment for more than a year -- in contrast to 50% of Germany's, 30% per cent in France, and 60% in Italy -- we should reject any new directives that damage employment and growth. No proposal should be agreed which puts at risk our ability to create jobs and meet the targets the EU set for itself at Lisbon three years ago. And Europe should look at new incentives to make work pay, such as the U.S.'s earned income tax credit. In the U.K., our pre-budget report later this year will outline the next steps we intend to take to get more people into work." Hear hear! Will it happen ? Hell no. Not with the Frogs and Nazi's running Europe. Heil Chirac !

Yes i forgot to add that. And don't forget to hate the Americans, rewrite history and demand that all services be conducted in your native language, don't learn english [we understand that your own language is superior], don't learn our history or cultural mores [we don't have any], and be sure to use the social services at your convenience and by all means send money back home to support the terrorist group of your choice.

Chirac who told the East Europeans not to get involved in Iraq and support the US or they will be taught a lesson; received money from Hussein for his elections; sold Iraq a nuclear generator and fighters; and has engaged in fleecing EU consumers to pay for large French farming interests which [gasp] support his party and political campaigns is the worst sort of arrogant mealy mouthed socialist one can find. Especially nauseating are his calls on morality; human rights; peace and global community. I have no idea how or why anyone takes this leader or this country seriously. I am truly glad that the Swedes rejected the Euro. The Brits better do the same. The EU fantasma - a German-Franco- socialist ninny state - steeped in the mythology of European greatness and grandeur and pathetically anti-american, is an illiberal regime that the Swedes and Brits are best left out of.

Yep i am voting for Howie - i already stated why. He has made only one sensible comment [you can't expect more from a socialist] on reducing MP salaries and pensions. Considering these people receive millions over their lifetime in the cause of doing as little as possible and not upsetting their poll ratings, this is an idea that i fully support. Eves is loathsome - a liberal who pretends to be a conservative. McGuinty should be on the Howdy Doody show. Total clown. So that leaves Happy Howie.

More than likely yes. But of course it is AA's fault that national security was compromised, that Clinton and his democratic friends were too busy having panty parties and whiskeys with hollywood sluts, and that the acronyms were immobilised by political pressure and doubt. Indeed i think the passengers should sued for their own demise -after they could have stopped the terrorists.

I agree Nuclear and KK, Clinton is the apotheosis of Lie-beralism. His great legacy was supposedly the economy - the tax cuts which stimulated the economy were arm twisted by the Rep. Congress during the mid 90s, the welfare reforms were initiated by the Rep. Congress, and Clinton's team mis-managed macro finances and rates to such an extent that a bubble ensued and the stock market collapsed along with jobs BEFORE the 2000 election. The man was not only ignorant, catatonic, but more importantly unable to focus on key issues; managing the economy properly, terrorism, military reform and reducing spending on non-essential programs. Now he and his little friends are trying to arm twist a massive socialist medicare package through to fund drugs for the senior jet set which owns 65 % of US assets. Good God, can't this guy die or just go away ??

PEI is a farce. A large farm is all it is. Ontario runs the country, funds it and is the economic locus of the country Pellakan if you did not notice. PEI receives 40 % of its revenue from transfers from Ontario and Calgary. Either clean up your act in PEI or we should have the right to sell it as property and recoup some of our investments. It is after all our money. If you can't sustain yourselves too bloody bad. And also stop sending your people here to look for work. If PEI is so great I would expect that there are a few patches of produce to pick or get busy with. And RB ithaca dollars are not used in NY outside of Ithaca and it is a waste of time so stop babbling nonsense. Sometimes i really have no idea what you are on about.

What idiocy. The entire US west had 10.000 Mexicans when the US defeated them in the 1848 war. I suppose you can state that the Mexicans stole it from the Indians ? And Mexico was robbed from whom exactly ? The wonderful democrats who led the bloodthirsty Aztec empire ? What historical nonsense. If Mexico is such a great country with great traditions why do their people flee to the US ? Because the US is superior. Now you state that the US has an obligation to Mexicans fleeing their own incompetent government. The sheer illogicity of what you are stating can only mean 2 things; 1. You are totally incapable of rational thought and 2. You are anti-Western, anti-progress and revisionist. Meaning basically your viewpoints have about as much meaning as Clinton pleading that he tells only the truth. The current Mexican gov't must help their people. Not export their lower class slaves, as they are called with derision in D.F. to the US. The Mexican elite - about 2.000 families - lives off the fat of the Mexican poor. How about Mexico reform itself and join the real world, instead of engaging in moronic pleas that they were there first and can export the brown indians to the US. This is so nonsensical that one supposes you must have taken the 'Oppression of the Chicanos' Major at Cal State Univ. Join the real world. The problem is: 1. with lie-beral jokers like yourself that want to create an apartheid system and ensure that poor mexicans don't integrate into the US. 2. apologists for the failure of Mexico as a state to intitiate liberal reforms which are badly needed to aid its poor and its economic development.

Nova and his clownish brethren have no logic, no facts, no historical guidance. They are Lie-berals - they apologise for everything. Can't wait to hear their defense of the holocaust. Plus Tiny Bin Laden is dead. Read some other threads on that.

If you think Nova the joker is rational, you need a lobotomy. Fast. Please go get one and come back on line.

YES Grasso just resigned !!!! Corporate Governance gone awry. Me thinketh so. Now lynch the entire Board Please ! and start to make the NYSE conform to the governance laws of its members. And make Grasso pay the $ back.

Why not just sell PEI off to some investors and pocket the change. The islanders can stay or float around - who cares - as long as they are no longer a province. Why is this farcical piece of island farmland allowed to assume Great Power status ?

You are truly pathetic. You did not reply to one fact listed in the thread. You maintain that 9-11 was okay and the slaughter of thousands not a big deal. You maintain that perjury, lying, impeachment and corrupting the highest office in the US is not of concern. You my friend are a monumental outrage and blubbering apologist.
