So if the cost for the govt to deliver services goes down, the debt must go up?

I have no idea what your complaint is about. Other countries pay for the US feed they rebroadcast, but they're subject to each country's law too. Ratings may be different and local ads substituted but so what? All in all American broadcast TV is much tamer and lamer than most other countries and believe me those viewer content warnings pop up on the dumbest shows even if there is no adult, violence or sexual content at all. But I do get a kick out of seeing local US ads for BigJohnny's Bailiff Services pop up on Jerry Springer and those five bucks, five bucks, five bucks pizzas when here it's like $15, $15, $15. As I do the semi-fraudulent ads where a Canadian Station is OTA to the US border where they state "X miles per gallon". Gallons aren't even legal tender in Canada, and when they were they were 20% bigger than in the USA.... On our dish we get all the US stations east & west feeds. Hardly ever watch any besides PBS. Everything worth watching on the other stations is on a Canadian network too, with Cdn ads switched in.

What gets me about Rustad is that he represented a huge chunk of BCs forestry areas through the Bug kill and knows the bugs happened because it no longer got as cold for as long as it did historically. The 3+ weeks of -35 just got less and less since the 1990s and has been only a couple days in the last few years. He knows that. And denies climate change.

Maybe the paper was made from Lebanese cypress and supply chain issues made it too costly? Like I said, there's a cost to paper bags so bring your own like everywhere else. Or charge 50c for one at the store and turn a profit on them. Local grocers charge 35c per paper bag here already.

Do you always hover 24/7 to spout instant replies even before engaging your brain? Or is someone paying you to automatically spout conservative buzzwsords and soundbytes?

And why would it be foolish to have ONE program instead of umpteen all with their own bureaucracy?

As I've not seen one member state they live in Justin's riding I can safely say NOBODY ON THIS BOARD VOTED FOR TRUDEAU You vote for a party or a candidate, so even if you don't like the leader you vote for the party and you're stuck with the leader it chose. Trudeau won because most people found the party they voted for less objectionable than the Tories. So supporting even more objectionable policies the way to get elected?

The ignoroid once again shows his ignorance of discussion, debate, converstaion. Gobbles down the uber-right idea that everything's a rap contest and that insults and volume earn debating points. Just call them a leftist like Bush did to Kerry, and it's all over, you've "won"....

You're talking about DERA area, not "East Van". Main & Hastings is disusting, always was. $2 million monster homes on Renfrew are East Van as are heritage places around Commercial Dr. Tell you a tale, drove Mom & Aunt (lawyer from Senate in Ottawa) downtown in the 1980s to a restaurant, the Aunt wanted to see Man & Hastings. We're stopped at a light, and four cops muscle this fat native woman out of a bar onto the street. She's shouting F You! and p!ssing herself right beside us. Mom was shocked! Aunt turned and said "Hasn't changed much since the war has it?" IMHO from then to now, it sure has. Shithole doesn't even describe it. not the point of this thread. It's the 'humble' Father Knows Best tone of the interview. Pretends he has no idea what the interviewer is talking about while munching an apple. Dodging each question by questioning the questioner. Works for dimwits who think that's "winning".

It's absurd that when some homes were there since the Gold Rush days, they suddenly must be checked for archealogical artifacts. As sssssslllllloooooowwwwwwllllllyyyyy as possible.,

In reality, they don't need assistance in dying. Just prioritize ambulance calls to the guy with the heart attack over the overdose call.

F you... former Commercial Dr. & Renfrew resident. So PP chomps an apple and talks like Dad next door and asks 'what is populism'... and he'll cut taxes (a little) and spending on services (a lot)... yeah just what we need.

So who wins the Darwin's Dirtbag Award? A) the stereotypical racist bugger repeating the 'darkies are pushing us out of our own country" line B) the 16th century puritanical conservative who immediately thinks 13 yrs old instead of 30 when breeding is mentioned? Sit back and watch the contestants fight for the "win".

No dude, you're the sick creep to come up with that interpretation. Get your mind out of the gutter

They selling water to Nestle to bottle and sell at a million percent markup? Promoting almond milk thinking they're saving the environment? Like, the huge growth allowed in the middle of the desert is nuts!

But if I win the lottery I might find a woman of breeding age... besides, the kids I had are already out there voting Green, Liberal and NDP every chance they get. So will the Grandkids by 2024, not a Tory in the clan, Muah hah hah!

Random Canuck says support for Ukraine and Israel is more important than Hunter Biden and drag queen storytimes? How dare he! Sell more Coca-Cola in Moscow and open a Ford factory in Iran, get back to making money.

Oh they'll be dreaming the Greens will swing to the BC Conservatives too.

They're coming to get you, whitey. They're gonna marry your daughter. anyone can play that game

There's a lot of value. My friends and I would pack Thursday night so we could head out camping as soon as work ended on Friday. You didn't have to go far to escape Vancouver in those days. Still don't need to go too far now.

duh... like I said too confusing for simple minds. Two taxes not four. Semantic powers equal your math skills I see.

Such intelligent criticism from people who can't tell between Joe Stalin and Karl Marx or Jack Layton and Tommy Douglas and wouldn't vote NDP to save their own life. And as I see the usual racist reasons. And think an 81% leadership review is less than a 68% leadership endorsement...

Cuz we can just shake= our heads at the nutcase ideas of the other guy and still buy the next round. maybe cuz that's more entertaining than watching the snow fall for 7 months....

Yes the evil Izzra Eeeleys commit war crimes because they're taking on the mighty Hamas Army that's hiding behind hostages and their own civilians. Re-aim a couple missiles targeted at a kibbutz to that Catholic sanctuary and show us how wicked they are.

No shit... I ain't skeptical, I'll speak out and call bullshit when I see it. Only in their tiny, malignant neanderthal minds such a dream exists. The only good thing about the Tories is that Canadians quickly sicken of them and it's rare to manage even 2 terms. And now they've got dumb enough to move even further right thinking that will help.
