  1. So Greece's situation holds implications for Canada, eh? How about the $3 trillion wiped off Chinese stock markets in recent weeks. Does this mean less investment in overseas housing markets like Toronto and Vancouver? Does it confirm a major downturn in China's economy with direct implications for our resource exports?

    3 trillion what? Canadian dollars? US or RMB?

    I'm thinking that's the high estimate in RMB.

    Furthermore, that amount does not even equal what their markets gained this year! So they're set back half a year or so.

    Most importantly, we're talking about a country with 1400 million people! Everyone forgets the 1400 million people part so very conveniently and imply that China has the population of any random western country.

    The stock market in China is looked on by the people (for the most part) as a somewhat trivial western style hobby where people can tinker around with a little spending money on the side.

    In the west, completely different story!

    Don't transpose your western views of North American stock markets onto China's reality if you want a clear picture.

    As far as Harper and the conservatives go, expect to hear the conservatives try to Chinamarketsplain this one into a campaign spin!

  2. Rue: It's obvious. Obama is rarely called Hussein Obama or Barack Hussein Obama. He is known as Barack Obama.

    Obama and his supporters could be also doing this to make him look less Islamic.

    Either way, it's a waste of time to label anyone whom uses a middle name or not.

    One warning point for thread drift!

  3. and yet... HarperCon attack ads still... still... only being targeted toward Liberals/Trudeau. Wassup with that?

    Not sure there's enough ammo to make attack adds against the NDP effective?

    How would these attack adds look like? What would they be attacking?

    If anything, the conservatives are the ones that can be easily targeted in attack adds.

  4. It should reinforce to Canadians in general the need for responsible government, and make them more suspicious about parties which promise them the world (ie, the NDP). No one has so far even costed out all the promises the NDP have made but they would certainly put us back into a deep financial hole unless all the tax increases made up for the billions and billions in new spending.

    LOL!

    The Harper government and conservatives in general have never added up the numbers when promising corporations tax cuts!

    I'm sure the corporations verbally promised all kinds of jobs!

    The conservatives added up all those verbal promises and the numbers looked great.

    Then told the voters, hey, let's give the corporations all kind of tax breaks because they VERBALLY PROMISED to increase jobs!

  5. He doesn't have to counter sue in order for the suit against him to fail. He does need the chance to defend. The Utah court claimed he made no response to the suit, and we see the outcome. Again, I suspect a Canadian court would see it differently. Could he sue the US gov., I suppose he could, but he is obviously being advised by his lawyers and has chosen instead to sue the Canadian government for compliance. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    No I didn't say he needs to counter sue, just have the opportunity to do so. I'm aware about defending.

    This is why I say that this court is a kangaroo court because they should have known that Khadr would not be able to enter the US to defend. Not even sure how the papers were filed to Khadr? In Canadian courts, they have to be handed over to Khadr in person.

    But I'm sure the courts in the US give a ratt's ass about being legit and just took this woman's money fully aware it was a waste of time.

  6. So let me get this straight: An American signs up for the military, a very dangerous occupation, then his country invades another, and then the soldier goes and points guns at a 15 y/o kid living in that invaded country, and then that kid allegedly throws a grenade and kills the soldier....and the widow wants to sue? :lol:

    Haha good luck getting a dime! Next you're going to tell me the families of the 3 million or so Vietnamese killed by Americans in Vietnam are going to be suing those soldiers. Or the families of the many thousands of killed Iraqis will sue US soldiers and expect any kind of payment. Good luck everyone!

    It's called a "kangaroo court".

  7. Not really, the US court finding could be upheld in Canada (they often are) but an application would have to be filed and accepted with a Canadian court. It is unlikely it would be in this case since Khadr had essentially no opportunity to defend himself. And of course even if it were, there's the old blood from a stone situation here big time.

    I see it a kind of differently.

    In order for the ruling to be binding, Khadr must have the opportunity to counter sue! This aspect is slightly different from being only given the opportunity to defend.

    Also, can Khadr sue the US government?

    What if he claims he suffered loses due to the US?

    As well, having money has no bearing on weather or not the widow can get money in this case.

  8. Because of the crisis in Greece, you can add about 4% to Harper's CPC percentage on election day in October. About 2 voters in 100 will change camps making for a 4% increase.

    LOL!

    Canada is now officially in an recession, but somehow, someway, Canadians are going to ignore their own circumstances, and become so consumed with a small country on the other side of the world to the point where it will influence in how they will vote?????????

    Ok if you say so.

    Good luck with it!

  9. if

    Yeah, the F-35's combination of radar and DAS is the most modern combination of sensors ever put into the air in a fighter sized aircraft, by anyone, ever.........if the F-35 can't see, nothing else can.

    Here's a link that's a game changer!

  10. Go visit Cuba and speak out against the government. Pass around some newsletters too. I'll see if I can get a lawyer to get you out of prison! Lol. Stop trolling dude. You're acting like a crazy person.

    And you my friend are talking completely ignorant!

    You put an over inflated value on what you perceive as human rights my friend (you to this to further your agenda)!

    Completely ignore the fact that many people do not even vote. Try living without medical facilities, then we'll talk about human rights bro!

  11. The tipping point has already happened, but some are trying as best they can to delude themselves that things are just peachy.

    No we are in much better shape.

    We are also not a small country like Greece and have different regions to bail out the lesser regions!

    There is without a shadow of doubt regions in Canada that are worse off than Greece!

    But the Feds bail them out with transfer payments and residents can migrate out for work opportunities in other regions of Canada.
