John Downs, they put him on with a more conservative co-host though. The more I listen to John Tory the less I think he's a real Conservative.

Is it legal for the Government to raid someone's Paypal account without cause? BTW a cashless society was predicted in Revelations. Just a though.

Initially the example was given about friends giving each other money. Lets say, in this society of zero cash, Someone needed help moving or painting a room and he paid his friend $20 or so for his trouble through a cheque or a futuristic NFC Cash transfer. It would suck if the CRA chimed in to the friend that got the $20 and said where's my cut? How about kids that offer to shovel a driveway for a nominal fee, what about that? As cash usage dwindles, I'd imagine the government would end up saving money for not having to produce so much actual currency. How much does getting rid of the penny save? IMO we should get rid of the nickel and dime too.

I would have no problem with paying before you pump. I use a Petro-Points CC that allows me to have a discount on gas and all I have to is tap a card on a sensor. When NFC technology catches up I'll soon just have to whip out my phone. These are nice conveniences that I welcome. Simply having a smartphone allows for some Big Brother to watch over you. Google Now knows when I'm at work or not and tells me how long it'll take to get home.

Sure, but do you really want the CRA to start scrutinizing every single transaction you make from your Chequing account? Only rich people should be subjected to this because they can afford it? Seems like harassment no matter what.

Well you can't follow people's transaction based on their income.

You could easily claim it as a gift. You don't get taxed on Paypal transactions do you? You don't automatically have to pay tax on personal cheques. (unless you get audited). Cash has it's place and I doubt we'll see it gone from our society anytime soon, but just like personal mail delivery, it'll keep being less relevant in society as the years pass.

Have you listened to it? I don't usually listen to the radio at that time. The show makes news though. I'm sure the station can charge more for advertising on that show than on your average Sunday afternoon talk radio show.

Many newer cell phones (Not shitty iPhones yet though) have something called NFC (Near-Field Communications) where you can transfer information by simply tapping phones together. You could have an App where you can set a specific amount of money for NFC transfer and just give it to your friend.

I would think so. People aren't listening to 92.5 for political debate, they want to hear Biebs, Lady Gaga and Flo-Rida. Not all AM Radio hosts are Right Wing ideologues like people Sarah Thompson would think.

Wow what an old thread. Didn't the Empire of Japan sort of end with Little Boy and Fat Man?

Because it makes them feel better about their prospects. If you say Harper is going to loser enough times then perhaps it will happen.

Nice! Go from alleging one crime to another. Going on an FM Top 40 radio station makes you very relevant as a Toronto Political leader.

I very rarely use cash. Mostly use it when I go out with friends splitting a bill or for Tim Hortons. I find it weird seeing people use cash to buy groceries or gas.

Trudea has no platform to speak of. These predictions of him potentially beating Harper are fantasy at this point. 2015 is a long way off and to try and predict the potential results 2 years out only prove to make people who hate Harper feel better. Polls can show an opposition ahead going into a campaign and end up losing. So polls 2 years out when the Liberal leader hasn't even been named yet will have absolutely no bearing on a PM's decision to quit early or not.

Well Ford did make labour peace with the Unions. Something the last two mayors couldn't do.

Apparently she admitted as much yesterday. Her story kept changing. She admitted to trying to set up the mayor a second time to get proof. But even after not being able to catch him groping her assistant, she still went public. That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Well then Sarah Thompson should stop doing radio interviews.

That photo isn't proof. She's smiling in it.

Well she's publicly alleged a crime so he could sue her for libel and the onus would be on her to prove a defence of truth. I doubt he'll do this though.

I just heard on the radio that there were councillors from Richmond Hill at the event that overheard her talking about setting the mayor up. All evidence I've heard backs up the mayor.

McJobs, Living wage, race to the bottom, blah blah.

I'm not sure what the proper reaction should have been. Witnesses have said she didn't seem upset about her interaction with him. She's not going to press charges, she just wants an apology, we still don't have a response from Ford. If he doesn't apologize, how will she respond.

Those are some serious allegations. You'd think if she really felt threatened she'd do more than make a Facebook post. Also Ford's wife was apparently with him in Florida. Not sure how you can confirm the truth either way here
