  1. If that's the case, let's talk about how horrible the CBC is.
  2. Isn't there already a thread about this issue.
  3. I don't find them outrageous, I find them ridiculously stupid.
  4. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1131820--drummond-report-higher-hydro-bills-more-user-fees-urged-in-sweeping-report?bn=1 Lots of do-able things in there. I wonder who will light their hair on fire on freak out over this report? I heard Union Leader Sid Ryan bitch that it wasn't in Drummond's power to increase corporate tax rates.
  5. Well said, that's how everyone should see the world. Thinking pragmatism is bad only exposes your own stubbornness to be open to new ideas.
  6. So perhaps Chretien wouldn't have won those majorities if the Right wasn't separated. He had a distinct advantage. The Conservatives are the only true national party right now. West of Quebec they have a dramatic majority of seats. They even won seats in Toronto.
  7. Nothing is safe. If you're careful and understand what you should and shouldn't do in Mexico, it's perfectly safe. Many of the people that have stumbled upon trouble in Mexico have done so because they've done stupid things.
  8. Well let's say he somehow ever does become leader of the party. These quotes will, no question, come back to haunt him.
  9. For tens of thousands of Canadians that go every year it is perfectly safe.
  10. Please cite an example of a Canadian being killed due to drug related activities in the Mayan Riviera, Cancun or Cozumel. I'll wait. Mexico is a very large country, not all of it is full of drug lords.
  11. Then they should have no problem switching to Presto. It would make live a lot easier for commuters who can't walk to work from Union Station after getting off the GO-Train.
  12. Yes but there are many in the Liberal party that have far more in common with the Harper Conservatives than thy do the NDP. And there are many in the NDP that have far more in common with a Communist party than they do the Liberals. I don't think Canada's left can be pigeon-holed into a single big-tent party like the CPC did with Canada's Right. As for the 40% figure. Did the Liberals consult with the other members of the Commons when they failed to receive a 50% mandate in their 3 majorities? Stephen Harper is doing what he ran an election on, and in every election he's ran his support has grown. And to still be fear-mongering about some social conservative agenda is just that: fear mongering. Other than a vote on re-opening the issue of Same-sex marriage (which was a promise to his base that I bet he prayed he lost) he doesn't have a whole lot to say about social issues.
  13. So you're saying I fabricated this story? Or the any number of media outlets that are reporting it and the reporters that caused him to make his 3rd person diatribe in the commons yesterday?
  14. http://www.canada.com/Trudeau+clarifies+stance+Quebec+sovereignty/6155365/story.html Look if you're not a Harper fan, I get it. But to imply that Harper is doing so many things wrong that people in Quebec would be right to think separation is good is beyond ridiculous. All the bad things people say about Harper are things everyone knew going into the 2011 election and he won a majority. To say he's ruining the country less than a year into his mandate is sour grapes. I'd like him to run down some of the "10,000" way Harper is ruining the country. 2 of those things certainly aren't re-opening abortion or same-sex marriage. And what's with his speaking in the 3rd person defense of himself? This guy is an absolute clown!
  15. In theory you wouldn't need as many because the goal is to have some re-loadable card. So once you have once card you can just keep putting money into it online.
  16. Could the TTC now be balking at implementing Presto? http://www.thestar.com/news/transportation/article/1131165--could-the-ttc-now-reject-the-presto-smart-card?bn=1 I can only imagine one reason why the TTC Union wouldn't want to use Presto is the fact that having guys in booths 24/7 collecting tokens would be unneeded. http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/photos/2010/01/22/to-sleepingttc(2).jpg
  17. Well he's already backed off axing Full-Day Daycar. . . ERRRRRRR Kindergarten. Today a leak from the Drummond report say that he'll recommend canceling the Post-Secondary tuition rebate McDalton ran on. He also is going to recommend banning students from doing a 5th year of high-school just to improve grades AKA as the "Victory Lap" Lots of education recommendations should be in there. I actually wonder if he'll do any of it.
  18. I forgot you don't like sex at all in the first place do you?
  19. http://dustythoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sarah_palin_5.jpg So this pic doesn't do anything for you then?
  20. Is she hot? BTW I was talking about the teacher, not your cousin.
  21. Well I've very curious to see the details of the CUPE 416 contract that is being voted on today. It'll set the framework for other public service negotiations in the future. I've heard news reports that have workers saying it wasn't as bad as people thought.
  22. Smart woman. Nice anecdote to prove your point though.
  23. McDalton got a second shot so I think Hudak probably should. John Tory would have gotten another chance if he picked ridings he could win a seat in. And yes his platform wasn't Right-wing enough. The Drummond Report is going to make Hudak's platform look leftist in comparison.
  24. So you if you were going to block websites you can do it just as easily using Wi-fi. All Wi-fi does is allow you to access a modem without an ethernet cord. Of course you have no evidence of the sites Catholic School would like to ban do you?
