Oh FFS I can't tell if your total negativity is due to manic depression or just being contrary out of spite. They'll PAY the same damn way everyone else in the country paid for theirs. And a public corporation can deliver it without gouging users to earn maximum profits. And they don't have to pay, they will want to as it costs less than oil heat. My sister converted to propane back in 2013 just because it costs less and natural gas was 'coming soon' a decade ago. We've blown tens of billions in tax dollars building lines to export oil & gas and totally neglected to supply Canadians with our own product. That is simply stupid.

That doesn't make it right, it just is what it is. And therefore it always must be. Those are specifically the people I don't mind alienating. And the 'it used to be better' even if it didn't work and was exclusive, I don't mind mocking.

Perhaps you should think real hard that maybe I was responding to your post and not the thread title. I mean after all, you've consistently replied that Joe Individual 'can't afford' gas as a public resource. As if it was something he'd personally have to fully pay for from his own pocket. That even if Borg Inc. or Acme Inc. Joe is so unbelievably penniless he couldn't afford the meter installation fee let alone a new furnace. Maybe Joe's like the kids that go to the dealer down the block and buy a joint for $5 seven times a day cuz it's impossible to save up a whole $30 and buy a quarter at the Pot Shop.

I was not particularly talking about Groot. Though he did stoop to spouting the typical 'climate alarmist' term popular with that tribe. I have agreed with him other times. Getting a little tired of this cesspool of hackneyed idioms from people thinking they're terrible insults. Missing the days when Running dog lackey of the Wall St. imperialists required more brain power to say than the cliches of the monosyllabic mutterings of a troglodyte. The good old days where one could have a more intellectually stimulating conversation with a Maoist or a f*cking Hare Krishna.

I'm sorry that many of you "don't get" simple abstractions of the very arguments you make yourself. I can't help you; there is no cure for that. But can't help chuckle at the 'competition' argument. The solution to everything isn't it. We used to spend millions clearing the roads with public employees. Now they compete so the lowest bidder can run out their budget on the 20th and there's no snow clearing at all if it snows Saturday, Sunday or on the last week of the month. And my taxes didn't go down a nickel, way less people have jobs and the ones that still have one get paid less. Yep, solved everything.

because it's the trooth... don't you believe in alternate truths? Like mixing bleach and ammonia makes pudding? That he who shouts the loudest is the winner? That repeating a lie often enough makes it the truth? That the headline IS the story? That if you don't "like" something it can't be true? Like 3% of scientists didn't agree 25 years ago it must be total bullshit?

Mr. Stupid spouts off about socialist fascists again. Tell us again how shit and shinola are the same thing. Please leave your shoes outside.

Here he goes again touting every possible fascist example he can and claiming everyone else is a Nazi. Stupid is as stupid does, exemplified by all of your usage of 'the left' for anything you don't like at all and glorifying every assholic, racist, hateful, deplorable position as something to be proud of. Not having the slightest clue what left and right mean politically and suffering under a dog like delusion that right means correct and left means wrong. It's one thing to be not very bright, quite another to remain wilfully ignorant. It's quite obvious some of you can't read past a headline or if you can are unable to understand what you read actually means.

Mr Hpesoj Slebbeog pipes up again..

So you say. Can't say how where what or when but you all love to say it.

Better wear a helmet with all those things flying over your head.

Which means what other than to construct an artificial situation to sow divisiveness? The citizens in Shaughnessy are being ripped off and deserve their own pension plan. Why should residents of Westmount have to subsidize the pensions of peasants in Vancouver's Downtown East Side. Making argument based on sheer personal financial greed seems to be a purely Albertan pastime. Not that any of my friends and relatives in AB indulge,

Too bad it's not 1759 anymore, eh? New Polling Shows IF You Ask The Obvious, You Get The Obvious Results...

There are radio shows you can call into and make such claims with hosts too gutless to call you out on your bullshit. This isn't one of them Prove ii.

They pay exactly the same as anyone else with the same income. The argument is simply a straw man to spread division.

Progressive Diversity Cult and other bogeymen of the Wrong Wing fear mongers.

And the fact you think the Dems are "radical left" is what makes Americans the laughing stock of the world when it comes to political discussion.

Enough of "Is the Pope Catholic", let's move on to Do Bears Shit In The Woods?

Just as most Christian holidays were moved to replace former pagan holidays, the Spectacle of Consumerism has replaced the former Christian holiday of Christmas. Should you ever encounter someone who is offended by you wishing them a Merry Christmas, do slap their face hard as they're such arseholes they were offended by you saying the contemporary equivalent of "may you have a good day". So have a Merry Christmas and buy, buy, buy until it hurts.

Because believing the bourgeoisie are the master race and theproletariat are untermensch is not fascist at all.Only rounding up specifically Jews and gassing them is what makes one a Nazi or a fascist. And more to the point, when Ronald Reagan single handedly defeated the Soviets, everything Karl Marx wrote, said or did became a lie. Therefore there are no economic classes of people, so one can't even be accused of discrimination if you won't hire or serve some ragged diseased welfare queen. While we're at it let's revive more 1960s battle cries of the Ignurnt All American Redneck.

Yes, Biden's weak support of mere billions of arms to Ukraine. His feeble support of Israel. His milquetoast response not including any nukes in the arms sent to Taiwan. Emphasized by the extremes his opponents resort to stretching utter bullshit to accuse him of. Like Tweedledumb and Tweedleduh here do.,

Changing out power poles so I went to the next town for the blackout. Steak at Co-Op (not known for great prices) was as much as $20/kg less than the local MoreOn Foods outlet, cut & packaged by an actual meatcutter rather than some immigrant scab in Alberta. 6 pkg of donuts here was 'featured' for $7.49 (regular 4 to a pack for $4.99 plus tax applied on less than 6). Was thinking inflation was only 125% a year in my town until I bought a bacon&egger, small black coffee and a turnover and got a couple dime coins back from a ten spot. Listened to CNC radio about the amazing fact that people steal more with self checkouts and the number of dupes calling in supporting them as they're so convenient.... got me to thinking: What's the difference between using a self checkout and scabbing? Scabs get paid to steal another worker's job...

The whole point of parenting and Sunday School was to teach you to know right from wrong without needing to RTFM.

KFC eatin' surrender monkey

Can't afford steak now so how can I eat meat loaf when you can't do it on a stick over an open fire?
