Still counting the votes for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. The scuttlebutt is that Doug Ford won, but there are 1300 ballots in dispute.

A rabid dog could beat Kathleen Wynne.

Agreed, but can the OPCs?

Pundits are saying not to underestimate Ford. He's being compared to Trump: an "anti-establishment."

Hey Impact, when you said tinpot dictators are meeting - I thought you meant the trade meeting with MERCOSUR.

Did anyone ever get NK to say on record that they'd be willing to de-nuclearize?
Duh, did you ever hear about the Agreed Framework between the United States of America and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? It was signed on October 21, 1994, with the objective of freezing and replacement of North Korea's indigenous nuclear power plant program with more nuclear proliferation resistant light water reactor power plants, and the step-by-step normalization of relations between the U.S. and the DPRK. I would say a signed agreement Trumps Trump's statement by a bizillion miles, but then that is just me. Keep on shilling for Trump, it looks good on you.

NASA relies on Canadian units of measure as demonstrated in the recent Space|X launch. Will Trump demand that NASA use miles and mph? I am sure his base will get behind that initiative.

Yes, I would like to see Canada increase its public funding of science in general including space. I don't think however rocketry is something we need to invest heavily in. There are a few commercial companies already, and how long before China and India start offering space taxi services as well. Building a space telescope and subcontracting out the transportation would be a far better investment for example. I'm not all that keen on Canada getting into the spy satellite business, so I don't think we need to worry about having the launches take place elsewhere.
-
Then Canadians who want careers in space programs will continue to leave for countries that do. Canada will be left behind.
-
Metric is a system used in science and high-tech, not "Canadian".

I'll have you know that I have many conservative friends...my lawn care guy is conservative, and my plumber is as far right as they come. I will let you know they are real conservatives as well, they didn't convert like Martin Wishnatsky.

Oh, so the people you know with jobs?

In my view until, the USA, has 3 parties, the country will always be what it is and has been, going down the tubes with corruption, although Trump is trying to change to for the better, but just like Kennedy, he doesn't know who for him or against him. The voters need to start showing DC, u screw around us, we'll vote against and u won't have a party to run!
-
Hard to say if those deficits would have been better under Clinton, but the economy is apparently going great, with all due credit to the current administration. The tax cut will help to attract more business to come back to America, a move which I think is very smart. If only we had a Trump here in Canada, not this...
-
Yes, good point about the tax cuts. The deficits will grow exponentially.

Is there some new progressive definition of "couple", I am unaware of. This has happened to me several times in recent weeks, and again today when I walked into the bank and requested a couple of rolls of quarters. The teller asked me if I meant two, is there something else I could mean?
-
Yup same thing happened to me, a coupla times. I went to the bank and wanted to make a withdrawal. She said "How much?" I said, "Oh, a coupla hundred."
-
Can’t they just be confirming it, since you’re choosing to use slang?

Came home drunk the other night wife said "how much did you drink?" I said "just a couple of beers"

Welcome back, I hadn't seen you around recently and I checked your activity stream and it was silent from October until today.

"But justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream"
Lordy, James Comey has a way with words.
-
The fact that Comey had to get some attention here shows his partisanship. He's a fruitcake and if he had done his own job properly most of the trouble in the US would not have happened.
-
Yes, I agree. If he had revealed the truth about Trump, and not focused on the false stories about Clinton then we would not be in this mess.

Patrick Brown can't catch a break. While he was on stage this weekend saying: “Under Kathleen Wynne and the Ontario Liberal Party, political corruption has flourished, they’ve been the subject of multiple police investigations — in some cases it even led to criminal charges.”, the police were investigating investigating Conservative officials in connection with his party’s May 7 candidate election in the riding of Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas.

Thank you Steve for another winner, it looks like we are stuck with Don Meredith as he refuses to resign from the Senate.

There is a difference between allowing a naked woman sit down next to you to have her picture taken, and grooming young girls to sleep with you. What part of that do you have problems comprehending?

Harper loved the perverts....

No problem here...just laughing at the double standard for age of consent and political hokey pokey. Next he will play the race card. Canada "deserves it".

Today is snow clearing day. They will tow you if you are parked on the wrong side of the street, and I just saw a car hoisted from the front with its back wheels dragging but not spinning. I guess they don't care if you leave the parking break on, just muscle through.

The effective corporate tax rate in Canada could double and still it would be lower than in the US.
-
How do you figure this to be true? The effective tax rate in the US is 27%. Canada's is roughly the same.
-
That is according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office. I went to their website yesterday looking for the TrumpCare report and also found one on corporate taxes. It lists the effective tax rate in the US at 18.6%, and Canada at 8.5%. Yes, there are all those higher fake rates that people like to quote, but when you look at what is actually paid it is significantly lower.
-
But this isn't what is actuallly paid....it's a statistical model created by the CBO for the attempt to compare. Look at Appendix B as they show how these sensitive factors greatly affect the overall rates. In one of the cases Canada and the US had negative tax rates.

What I dislike about this time of year is it is either rain or cold. Can't I just have a sunny and warm day?

Mice on a plane. Most passengers were happy to wait 4 hours to change to a mouse free plane. I know I wouldn't be one of them.
