Its not if you do not want to significantly contribute to yourself improvement,your family and future generations!!! Not to mention Canada! WWWTT

I guess that you never heard about the right to privacy or constitutional rights? Ever thought that maybe from time to time these things matter and must be applied? WWWTT

Oh so I have a problem now because I called you out on your blatant attempt to slander unions!?!? As far as your last sentence goes,you do realize that we are now debating in a thread that I started about bill C 377,no? WWWTT

Actually ALL Canadians as well are "forced" to pay taxes to! Can I call that a "donation"? Since unions provide services for the dues they charge and since paying dues are a condition of employment at unionized work places they must be tax deductible and therefore are not in any way a public expenditure. As far as the non unionized workers go I would tell them it's time to stand up and organize! Its your duty as a Canadian! WWWTT

Yes I re-read my comment and it does appear I was wrong in calling you incorrect. WWWTT

And corporations/government and numerous/countless of other organizations are not like this??? Welcome to reality,pull up a chair and stay a while because it does not matter where you go you will find lazy people that have found a way to scam the system. It is up to you to do something about it! In fact if you do not do anything about it then it is you who is lazy and not contributing!!! WWWTT

Not true,again! Dues are collected for services rendered for representation! Dues can be easily called fees or costs/price,etc,etc. You are implying that dues are somehow like donations.And this is not true! Keep in mind that depending what kind of business you are in,many things that you may need to purchase are tax deductible and in many cases 100% tax deductible! An example would be the purchase of a vehicle/fuel solely intended to operate a business.This purchase is 100% tax deductible.Does the manufacturer of the vehicle purchased now have to publicly disclose how they will spend the money they received from the sale?And if they did would they not be giving away private information that their competitors can use to their advantage? Union members as well must pay union dues in order to earn a wage so therefore their dues must be 100% deductible. WWWTT

Not necessarily true. Tax deductions are only applied for by the members and unions do not directly receive any moneys from the government. Union members earn extra money due to the vigilance of unions! In fact,government revenue would be considerable less without unions! So when all the unions go belly up where will the conservatives get the revenue from?Corporations? Man that's freekin funny! WWWTT

I agree about the hypocrisy conservatives are famous for! But what really gets me is that the NDP would never create such laws that are in total neglect and disregard for private enterprise! WWWTT

Let me make something clear here. The government is proposing that unions post every transaction over $5,000 on the internet! This is completely unheard of!?!?! What business does someone half way around the world have in viewing transactions occurring in any union within Canada??? As more and more people become aware of what the government is proposing I think the government may call in sick when the vote comes down in the house. WWWTT

Russ Hibert,conservative back bencher from B.C. has table bill C-377. This bill is an amendment to the income tax act,forcing unions to publicly disclose all transactions over $5,000! Unions are in direct competition with many corporations and various institutions and are entitled to our own privacy to protect our interests,the interests of Canadian labor,the interests of the Canadian work force and our families! Please visit workersbuildcanada.ca to send a protest letter to your MP! This has to be one of the most anti union bills ever seen federally possibly in the history of Canada! WWWTT

Sure why not? Never stopped the conservatives,liberals or the pc when they were in power before! Or will it now become taboo for the NDP to amend and change laws when they get their mandate from the Canadian voters in 2015? As far as changing laws in the fields of criminal acts,if you're suggesting my colleagues and I routinely conduct in criminal activity simply because we are proud union members than maybe I should complain to the admin. here and see that you receive at least a two week suspension! WWWTT

First off,the NDP are guilty of a law created by and passed by the liberals I believe. Parliament can at any time change this law. If parliament passed a law making it illegal for government to run a deficit guess who would be guilty red handed??? At many union meetings I am at,many members are unaware that it is not against the law for our union to contribute provincially(but there are limits and various rules) but is against the law to contribute federally. Different laws for different levels of government can make it very confusing. WWWTT

Except Germany,South Korea,Japan,Switzerland,China,etc,etc. Actually there's about 13 or 14 countries doing better then Canada! WWWTT

I doubt that Harper would ever stick his neck out that far for something as trivial as a knighthood! I'm sure this guy gets nightmares/sleepless nights of becoming another Brian Mulroney! WWWTT

OK then so how well is YOUTUBE doing in China? I never recall communist China ever embracing hard line Marxist beliefs?? I remember the Soviets having some beliefs vaguely but not the Chinese. How many times have you been to China and where and who do you know there? You guys seem to know all about how China abandoned communism so please tell me whats Maos' vision was. Last time I was in China(June 2011) I was watching the communist political channel on tv and the party was still in control with an extremely high support from the people so to me it sounds like some people here are just making stuff up! WWWTT

That is spun twisted so freekin far to justify your version of history your neck must be sore! Good luck buddy! WWWTT

Unless you count the country that has the second largest number of billionaires next to the US. COMMUNIST CHINA! WWWTT

You forgot to thank polio and the Spanish conquistadors relentless slaughters in their pursuit for gold! Do you sincerely believe the Europeans went out to discover the world to quench their curiosity for knowledge and the betterment of the human species???? Good luck! WWWTT

Yep those three sure did change the world.After Mayan mathematics was discovered and was used by them! But keep thanking the white people and ignoring the accomplishments of non white/non Europens so that everyone can see you for what you are! WWWTT

Actually I believe the Europeans put more emphasis in sea travel and trade and were better at exploiting/recognizing foreign advancements! Beyond that I would not give them any more credit then that! WWWTT

Whoooo man this comment is so freekin biased and spun!!! Not to mention calling native Canadians "savage" is very questionable! Ever heard of the Mayans? How about the Mayan calendar that ends in December 2012,this year? Ever wonder how they were able to make the precise mathematical calculations to determine that a solar calendar was not as accurate as a lunar one? Better question would be,do you ever think? Ever wonder why the Russian orthodox Christmas/Easter is later then the western christian/catholic Christmas? The Europeans were,before discovering the new world and Mayan/Aztec mathematics incapable of understanding the concept/value of zero and its use/importance in mathematics. Don't believe me? Try multiplying 836454 x 8434 without the use of a calculator OR without the use of zero! Who's the savage now buddy! WWWTT

Just so that we can have some clarification here,titular honor is not the same as being granted an award or citizenship. Titular honor or knighthood has a title attached to that. Such as Sir John A. MacDonald or Sir Paul McCartney.(there's a bunch of others such as baron etc,etc)As well there are other countries other than England that have titular honors. Titular honors are not allowed to be used by Canadians(Nickle resolution) regardless of what country or monarchy gave them and Canada does not grant them. WWWTT

If Harper ever accepted a titular honour he would go down in history as the most unpatriotic PM in Canadian history!!! He is not going to ever accept any titular honour.He would not be that stupid! If he wanted to accept the title he would have to renounce his Canadian citizenship! Or at the very least he would have to leave Canada much like Richard Bennet did. WWWTT

It is beyond me how some people can believe that Canada could be compared to Greece? Here's a fact,Canada is the 2nd or 3rd largest country in the world.Greece is 97th! Canada ranks 35th in pop.Greece at 76th. WWWTT
