  1. These are 2018 numbers but I doubt they have changed much. https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201701E
  2. I'm not saying they shouldn't but maybe there is a better way of doing it. Things like this get rubbed in when Ottawa cuts Atlantic ferry fares in half while donating 300 times as much to east coast ferry systems as west coast ferry systems under the convenient claim that one is federal and the other is provincial. Don't expect these things to just smoke through with no comment or feeling of double standards..
  3. Let Americans pay the tariffs. We don't need tariffs if we just stop buying shit from the US.
  4. Well the Atlantic provinces get an inordinate amount of federal spending compared to the revenues they send to Ottawa. I don't know if we can change that and don't think amalgamation should be forced on them but that doesn't mean the pros and cons shouldn't be subjects of discussion.
  5. France has recognized a Palestinian state. The UK is going to recognize it if Israel doesn't meet conditions. Canada says it will recognize it in September. Even Trump has lost patience with Bibi.
  6. The more you babble on about Marxism the more you show that you have no clue what it is. The only constant in the world is change and nowhere are you going to get to go back to your childhood. You sound like the kid in the schoolyard having a tantrum because the rest of the kids won't play the game by his rules.
  7. Wishing your country ill because you don't like a political party is as dumb and immature as it gets.
  8. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-donald-trump-call-jeffrey-epstein-terrific-guy-1857207
  9. You would? Their members in the House of Representatives don't have a vote. They have no representation in the Senate and can't vote in presidential elections. https://congress.net/how-congressional-representation-work-for-u-s-territories/ They are far worse off than citizens of Canadian Territories who have voting representatives in both houses and can vote in all elections.
  10. Marine Atlantic is an independent crown corporation. No different from BC Ferries which is just important to national infrastructure as Atlantic ferries. This wouldn't have been as much of an issue if the feds hadn't mouthed off about BC's ferry purchase and cut fares on the Atlantic ferries by 50%. Some that cut is being bankrolled by BC taxpayers.
  11. Atlantic Canada gets $300 to support its. Ferry system for every $1 BC gets. Maybe Ottawa should STFU about where BC buys its ferries.
  12. Ya, all the US states love each other. The costliest war in our history wasn't fighting each other.
  13. Like I said, he waves it right in front of your face and you just close your eyes.
  14. You hate your country so much I don't know how you and WCM can stand to live here and why you haven't moved already. Maybe it's because no one else would have you.
  15. CBS gives Trump 16 million and cancels Colbert. CBS merger gets approved. Nope, no evidence at all. Like I said, Trump waves it right in front of your face and you just close your eyes.
  16. He isn't a Canadian, we have no obligation to let him across the border. If he comes, he comes as a guest, like any other foreigner. Maybe he should act like one.
  17. The mainland to Vancouver Island is part of the Trans Canada Highway. Or don't you consider Vancouver Island part of Canada?
  18. Pretty clear that the 16 million settlement was just a bribe to get the merger approved. Even FOX isn’t denying it. The Biden’s are supposed to be corrupt but MAGAs don’t see it when Trump waves it right in front of their stupid faces.
  19. Oh that's a relief.
  20. You asked and I gave you the recipe. Trump has done or is doing them all. Knew damn well this would be your reaction but Oh well, the Cult can't do anything eles.
  21. There is nothing new here, your go to whenever you are confronted with anything Dear Leader does is to project it onto someone else. You are just so predictable its pathetic.
