Yeah but EI gives you a suitable time to find a comparable job if you get laid off. Anyone can get a job at a McDonald or Tim Hortons any day of the week. But if you had a $60,000+/year job the EI would be worth more to you than the service sector job. I think this idea is targeted at people that only work the minimum hours a year to get EI then bugger off the rest of the year.

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/04/18/conservatives-want-unemployed-to-fill-jobs-going-to-temporary-foreign-workers-jason-kenney/ I guess the only argument against this is if you have to maintain a certain salary to keep your home and the seasonal worker job can't sustain you. But if you work a construction job or a season job, work the required hours then take the rest of the year off and go on EI, you're wasting government money.

You can buy healthy food and unhealthy food at any reputable supermarket. It's a question about price and not choice.

Wife got me this for my birthday last year http://www.glenoradistillery.com/Images/gb10g.jpg It's very good but it's $90 a bottle. Goes good with a cigar. Crown's Black Label is also very nice.

Still it's tabloid journalism at its worst. Does anyone know what he ordered or if he had a big workout earlier in the day? Apparently Doug Ford is the one that really kind of goaded Rob into doing this Cut the Waste challenge. What was really unsettling about the video is the jeering of the people that took the video.

There was this 2-hour documentary that TSN replayed on Monday about the Steve Bartman play and the fallout from it. Pretty funny and interesting stuff. That being said enough about your crappy Chicago teams, this is a Jays thread.

Very mature Toronto News media. Ford going to KFC for lunch is actual news? http://www.thestar.com/news/cityhallpolitics/article/1163496--video-residents-mock-mayor-rob-ford-as-he-enters-a-kfc?bn=1

Santos looked really good last night. Batista and Lind finally were able to actually hit. Beating the Rays is the key for anything they want to achieve this season. Looks like the BoSox don't have much of a chance to compete this year.

So if you would prefer not to view male on male sexuality you're either a homophobe or ignorant? There are many things I may choose not to view. What about certain forms of fetish porn? If I don't like seeing S and M scenes am I ignorant to that community? I'm sorry man but opinions like that do more to hurt the cause of equality for homosexual than helps it. Would you really consider someone who has no opposition to any of the equal rights homosexuals want to achieve but would prefer not to attend to the pride parade because the subject matter makes them uncomfortable a homophobe? As to cybercomas point. The term homophobia is all encompassing term to silence someone's opinion. As proven already the term has a loose definition and can't be defined by simple fear of homosexuals.

So you want people to apply to the government to be able to use recreational drugs? Do you feel that way about currently legalized recreational drugs? I'm sure that'll involve some sort of fee like getting a drivers license. BTW what if someone said EFFF you and your stupid medical fitness certificate, I'll just get the drugs myself. What type of actions should the government take against that person? Should it be a crime to do these recreational drugs without a medical fitness certificate?

What about criminalization of the pusher? Of course assuming the pusher isn't the government, which is being advocated by many here.

The Mob does a better job with gambling then the government does. They're actually fairer.

OK you guys ignored my post about this but I'm going to ask again. For the "Anti-Prohabitionists" You need to tell me if you think getting a prescription from a doctor is something that should be done away with. If you advocate getting heroine from a corner store legally then why should I have to go to the doctor to get a prescription strength anti-histamine? You'd also have to assume that if heroine were widely available, why would you need to go to a doctor to obtain Oxy-Neo. Heck why Oxy-Neo, go back to Oxycotin and let em snort it.

Same with Alcohol but there aren't reservations people can get duty free alcohol from. Next time I go to the US I might try to bring some alcohol back and not tell anyone. SHHHH. And people seem to appreciate good alcohol more than cigarette smokers appreciate good cancer sticks. Myself as a cigar smoker am a bit torn. The cigars off the reservation aren't bad but they can't compete with cuban cigars.

I meant to form a government. Howard Hampton was never realistically expected to win so he could do a few elections. While John Tory was turfed after one election and many think Tim Hudak shouldn't get a second chance. Then next Federal election will be the fourth in a row the Liberals will take part in with a different leader because they feel they need a winner.

Sort of like the case with Tobacco right now?

So you are for regulated government sponsored production of whatever drug people can come up with. Tax it all and let people have their fill right? I hope you're at least consistent and think that prescriptions should be done away with and any drug that a doctor can give to you should be available without any piece of paper from a physician. Oh yeah and the prohibition on trans-fats. That's got to be repealed right? People should be allowed to have yummy trans-fat if they want right?

Haven't you been reading this thread? Once the drug is legalized, the crack smoker won't feel the need to be rebellious and he'll see the error of his ways and stop.

Comparing illicit drugs to alcohol and tobacco make you perfectly credible.

Yeah because with all the the money that's to be made dealing illegal substance tax-free; the people dealing it are doing it because they have to, not because they want to. I'm still curious on how legalizing such harmful drugs like heroine is going to work? Just something you can buy at Shoppers like Motrin? or are we going to have Control Boards for all these illicit drugs you guys want people to have easy access too. Tax revenue a plenty right? BTW there isn't a prohibition on certain prescription pain-killers and that's become an illicit drug that people are getting addicted to and it's ruining people's lives. There's a reason Oxy is called Hillbilly Heroine.

As I said before criminals will be criminals. Making things they push legal will only make them find something else to push. I'd like you to provide me with some form of evidence to suggest the frequency of alcoholism now is less than it was during prohibition when people had to do some form of illegal act to obtain the substance.

Or because there is rarely a realistic expectation for them to. . . you know. . . Win!

You find it disturbing that everyone here but you think drugs like meth and heroine should remain out of the hands of the public? That says more about you than it says about us.

I think that criminality will likely always be there. There'll always be a way to make money breaking the law. And if you get hooked on Heroine because you're being "rebellious" then you live a sad life indeed.

So there isn't an agreed upon definition of homophobia. So would you call someone who doesn't want to see hardcore hetrosexual pornography hetrophobic?
