  1. I remember you complaining that these new rules would force IT workers to cut Christmas trees or something like that. That doesn't appear to be the case. If you're a first time user of EI you can take wait for a job in your field that pays as low as 90% of what you earned before. Now if you're a repeat user of EI you can be forced to take different work as low as 70% of what you made before. This doesn't sound draconian at all. If you're a seasonal worker, you're a bum if you're just collecting EI on your down time.
  2. But he doesn't have nice tits like Black Widow so fuck him.
  3. Is it less expensive to just give everyone that wants it Student Loans?
  4. So anyone could be equipped with exploding arrows. Did he invent the exploding arrows? Comparing Hawkeye to Batman is like comparing Hawkeye to Iron Man. Then again if you believe the re-boot of the Batman movies Morgan Freeman equipped Batman with all his stuff.
  5. No I understand. These protests are full of spoiled brats that don't want to take any responsibility for their lives. I'm just saying that the idea of providing someone with an education free-of-charge isn't always a bad idea.
  6. As I said, helping someone out with day-to-day bills, while at school, is far more important to a "real" adult than tuition to pay for a useless degree. You could take out a loan for tuition. Or put it on a Line of Credit.
  7. Yeah because they'll most certainly be able to pay for those low tuition rates once they've separated.
  8. But in that instance it is an investment in the future tax payments from a person. In Ontario, if you can prove that you lost your job from a dying industry and propose to go into an industry that has a good outlook you stand a good chance of not only getting the government to pay your tuition but you can get help with your month-to-month bills. For mature students the tuition isn't the problem, It's like a car loan. It's the fact that you have commitments like mortgages and children to worry about. That's the obstacle from going to school again.
  9. A bit of a spoiler but at the end they show a preview of the next movie where they show this enemy called Thanos. My more comic book literate friends were saying he's the enemy for something called Infinity Gauntlet. Apparently much of Marvel got together to defeat him. That would include Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer etc.. It was pointed out that the current Captain America was the human torch in the Final Four movies. So another re-boot would be in order. A Justice League America movie would be tough considering the current state of the Batman franchise. You'd have to bring in a new Batman and perhaps a new Superman unless you want to bring back the guy from that horrible 2006 movie. Would Ryan Reynolds be in there too or would it be a bran new cast across the board.
  10. Or they'll say that a post secondary education is an investment on a student's future and they'll be able to pay it back with their higher earning potential. I'd have no problem with free education of someone wants to go into an industry that has a high demand and a high chance of gainful employment once completed. But there are Liberal Arts degrees that make people only slightly more employable than out of high school, those shouldn't be free at all. In fact, I think, the current subsidies should be scraped on those "hobby" degrees.
  11. I have watched the first two seasons on Netflix. Started watching Season 3 last night. Google told me that Season 4 will be on Netflix by early June and the final season starts on AMC in July. I guess by the time Walking Dead starts up again I'll be an expert in the world of cooking meth. Excellent show. I love the DEA agent Hank.
  12. They'll spout talking points about corporate tax cuts and bank bailouts as obstacles. Oh yeah and we need tax the rich!!!
  13. I wonder if people would find humour if someone painted a portrait of a nude Libby Davies.
  14. Saw it yesterday to avoid the rush of comic book fanboys. Can't say enough good stuff about this movie. Could have done without Archery Man but all the "real super heroes" were epic. Oh and Scarlett Johansson was a nice addition. You really have to have seen Iron Man 2, Captain America and Thor to know what's going on. There is a Hulk movie from a few years back with Edward Norton as Bruce Banner that was aight. They had an Tony Stark cameo in the movie. This hulk was far better. A movie with Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner would be great. Seeing the final battle scene in 3D where they pan from hero to hero was some of the best special effects I've ever seen.
  15. Generic Whore #1 I suspect that scene wasn't in the book. Giving Tyrion a love interest is kind of odd I don't believe that he really loves her. The sexual tension between Theon and his sister is icky. What's to stop Jamie Lanister from tipping that canoe? I reckon someone without armour swims faster than someone without even if his hands are chained together. Didn't appear this legs were.
  16. Union Groups in Ontario want to have similar riots ERRR protests wanting free tuition in Ontario too. Good Times.
  17. Tim Hortons and High Taxes
  18. So my Blue Jay thread wasn't good enough?
  19. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/05/17/nude-painting-of-harper-raises-eyebrows Can't artists find something more constructive to do with their generous government grants? This is trash! It's not even original.
  20. People who are willing to work at Tim Hortons the rest of the year when they aren't doing those things.
  21. I suspect not. I wonder if he'll get jeered and I wonder if people will still be pissed he wont be at the parade.
  22. Because she was too busy cooking, cleaning and washing her hair duh!
  23. Would yelling fire in a crowded theatre be considered terrorism if it causes a stampede and people die?
  24. Yeah but Siri is a whore.
  25. Well the talk evolved to the idea that this whole Knight's Watch thing is BS. Which I could have told you from Episode One. I wonder if the Knight's Watch is Martin trying to take a dig at the Catholic Church.
