  1. Real Estate is by far the biggest component of our GDP. Dept to GDP has nothing to do with productivity. https://www.statista.com/statistics/594293/gross-domestic-product-of-canada-by-industry-monthly/ In the 11 years I have owned my present residence it has appreciated 150%. That's a hell of an increase in GDP but it is the same house only 11 years older.
  2. Hindsight is always perfect. Any id iot can do it.
  3. Because in both cases we were experiencing something completely new and didn't know what the ramifications could be. What would have been your measure of success?
  4. How do you know it wasn't there, it depended on the programs they were using. Because the actions that were taken were effective, that doesn't mean they weren't necessary. Same goes for Covid. You didn't need to do anything to your home computers because your operating system had been updated by its maker.
  5. Interesting how police, courts and schools have become stupid shit to the MAGA cult.
  6. Y2K wasn't an issue because companies spent billions upgrading their software to account for it.
  7. Australia has awarded 4 VC's for service in Afghanistan. Obviously they don't have the same hangup when it comes to recognizing what is due.
  8. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/west-kootenay-arrow-lakes-1.6959040
  9. What, another grifter capitalizing on the popularity of the Grifter in Chief? How can that be?
  10. You are entitled to your opinion but the law will decide whether laws were broken and if there should be penalties.
  11. Doesn't matter what politicians or crown wants, the court will decide whether they are guilty and what if any penalties apply.
  12. Except for murder, no one gets a maximum sentence for anything in this country.
  13. Either you believe in due process or anarchy. You can't pick and choose, that is anarchy.
  14. Leich and Barber are getting due process. The courts will decide, not politicians.
  15. Most of BC's GDP is real estate. Debt to GDP doesn't mean that much.
  16. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/a31265187/joe-biden-net-worth/
  17. Just pointing out that Quebec has its own immigration department. I don't know that any other provinces do.
  18. A lot of mommies and daddies can't have their own. That's why they adopt.
  19. China also has a massive debt problem. https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3084979/china-debt-how-big-it-who-owns-it-and-what-next
  20. Governor Kemp (R) says otherwise. https://www.thestar.com/news/world/united-states/as-trump-and-republicans-target-georgias-fani-willis-for-retribution-the-states-governor-opts-out/article_954a19d2-a12e-5adc-b392-dcd2f8c0e1fc.html
