I don't want the regions balanced I want the provinces balanced.

You said you didn't agree with EEE.

I don't.

Just because someone supports a particular party doesn't mean they support everything that party stands for. Not all Progressive Conservtives are right wing fascists.

So PEI shouldn't get the same number of senators as Ontario because eventhough they are both provinces they're still not equal, yet Ontario and Quebec should have the same number of senators?

But what about all the unemployed union workers?

That's it? Update: ended up finding a report doe this year. Salaries for teachers, not surprisingly, are a lot higher then you said. Salaries are in the 50's. http://bctf.ca/uploadedFiles/Public/BargainingContracts/2011-12SalaryRankings.pdf

What is the average salary for a teacher in Ontario?

Crockatt actually.

One thing they have a monopoly on numerous aspects of mail delivery, the service is not efficient, it cost the taxpayers a fortune, they're now losing money and their prices are increasing. As well I'd much prefer FedEx delivering parcels to my door then having to go to my mailbox to get a slip, then trying to get to the post office when they're open to pick up my parcel. I want a better service and Canada Post in its current form seems incapable of providing it.

Joan Crockatt has been named the CPC candidate in Calgary Centre and Erin O'Toole is supposedly now the candidate in Durham.

Well I'd hardly expect the Broabent institute to write a paper on privatizing a service. I thought the idea made perfect sense before reading any of these articles and no private company is secretly funneling me money to say it on this forum.

So the idea should be discredited because supposedly right wingers are the only ones interested?

The company should pay them not Alberta.

What about Andrew Coyne? Is the Montreal Economic Institute right wing, centrist, left wing or what because they've done a paper on it too?

Hmmm.. Maybe I'll check Rabble for you.

Here are some articles. http://www.canadianbusiness.com/blog/consumer_insight/30713--20-reasons-for-ending-canada-post-s-monopoly http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/want-better-mail-service-look-abroad Here's an article by one of my favourite people Andrew Coyne on Canada Post. http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/06/17/rain-or-shine-the-monopoly-must-end/ We could also look at just ending the monopoly, though I doubt they'd last long after that.

Other countries have done it. I'd like to see it exploited, I agree it could be an issue in rural nd remote areas but it can still be looked into.

Why should they get Alberta's royalties if a private company wants to build a pipeline?

I think it needs to be looked into. I ordered two things last week off the Internet and its a lot better having FedEx deliver to my house then have to try and get to the post office to pick up my package that Canada Post was responsible for.

I'm shocked its privatization was not brought up last year. I don't see the need for it as a crown corporation.

Why do we need Canada Post?

Social conservatives always have issues with trying to tell people they want smaller government and that they want governments to be less involved in our lives while at the same time trying to tell people what is morally acceptable behavior.

We'll have to raise the voting age to then.

Maybe the young man (not kid) can represents the large population base under the age of 30, seeing we don't usually feel represented by 45, 55, or 65 year olds.
