A cooperative, which to righties is 'communist'. That they did the minimum and served only the most profitable exactly as people believed in 1974 which you righties completely deny they do, in spite of all evidence otherwise. Because they DO and have done, like funding the entire fibre infrastructure out to Kitimat and then allowing the telco to drag their feet on even connecting high speed copper to it the entire way west from Prince George. By funding the infrastructure for tiny remote villages to get highspeed with tax dollars and ignoring large towns and last mile solutions. Telus DID buy up cable companies, look up Mascon. Which allows them to meet CRTC specs without running fibre and competing. It DID buy up WISPs who already provided microwave Internet links that do not cost anywhere near copper/fibre 'plant'. The telcos already had a chain of microwave sites that could have been upgraded and used for a minimal cost, and should have been used for redundancy. The entire north central BC has lost all connectivity several times because of simple traffic accidents. The Telcos are also promoting their "hubs" for remote service which are merely units that access the cell phone network, exactly like you could do by turning on Perxonal Hotspot on your phone. But they are charging premium prices, limiting data and bandwidth and nopt revealing true costs and drawbacks to users. You already DID, have paid and are paying for that. Under Harper, Chretien, Trudeau, Gordon Campbell and Glen Clark policies. We are paying for it and the Telcos are profiting from it. So is that an improvement since privatization and deregulation happened? That you pay more than you ever did before to them, pay again with tax dollars to build the infrastructure for private companies to reap all the profits? And see competition that's all within $1 of each other's plan and advertising like UNLIMITED (20Gb limit in small type the very next line...)? That's not the capitalism you glorify, it the capitalism we've got! And I don't care if you don't believe me, get off your butt and come see. You'll pass a billboard telling you we've got 31 TV stations and 10 FM radio stations, all you need is an antenna.

Living for free on-reserve? Got a native name yet . . . . 'Hewith Twofaces' ? Cigarette business going well for you? How about those tax-free tires to your white buddies off-reserve? You are a racist pig aren't you. Proud of it, too.

You set up a communist TV broadcast society. Not that yo could today with people's piggy attitudes. Why shold I have to pa $50 a year for other people to get 31 channels OTA, I can afford cable for $160 a month.... They did that here in 1974 when people were leftist communist pinko subversives qith just CBC after they lied and said the cable company would just cable downtown and everyone else would be S.O.L. Then we heard the snivelling of the righties paying for satellite (why should I pay for yours - my satellite is only $10 a year) and they capped the budget. Unfortunately for them, we modernized the site and with the switch to digital we could broadcast 4 channels on each cheaper transmitter. Then guess what: a cable company suckered the gov't into a grant to pay for everything and cabled the downtown just like the founders said they wold 40 years before. F*** the public, use public money to serve as few as possible. Hardly anyone hooked up, fortunately cable Internet is faster than DSL so the Telco bought them out. So it never has to run fibre, it can stand in front of the CRTC and claim it 'serves' high speed Internet to some of the town, so that meets their rules. Unless you live 2 miles past the city limits. And if you don't understand that's exactly how capitalism works, you don't understand shit. 1. Provide as little as possible for as much as possible. 2. it is immoral to leave money in the hands of a fool. 3. Fools are easier to create than customers.

No time to reply, I have to feed my son who just got off graveyard shift at the coal mine before the school bus comes. My first job doesn't start for another hour. Sally's making cookies in her EasyBake oven for the Grade Three Fundraiser. Wifey's almost done mopping the Boardroom now they've moved the factory to Mexico...

To point out the stupidity of those who think the topics are remotely worth discussing.

No an education did. Unlike the mindless drones that prefer nothing but TV shows about shooting people and absolutely hate anything that involves history, science or 'learning anything'.

Yet YOU are the one that said it doesn't affect you, didn't you? FYI you're the one in Cement City and I'm the one who lives among the natives. Speak up, Mr Expert.

OMG such a threat to freedumb and demockracy.

I don't pay. The gov't does. The money they tax me isn't mine anymore just like the money they dock off your paycheque isn't your anymore. And I DO watch it sometimes. Less so since they flogged hockey and football off to some pay channel. Whenever I want to see some consumer show, nature show, more in depth news report or anything relevant to Canada, BC or my local area. We have all those other networks that wouldn't show that as it's not in the korporate interest.

You really do live in some dream world, don't you? You live in f***ing Vancouver where there's nothing but disputes over land claims, fishing rights, maritime rights, pipelines through native areas, and 1,000 other issues pertaining to natives and you make a claim like that? What next? Claim that acknowledging events held on traditional territories is anti-white and racist too. Take something else and turn it ass backward to enrage the deplorables?

Boges is correct. A letter from some whiney little old lady or offended group does not mean the regulatory body is 'considering'. Not that tey shouldn't consider changing it to a premium channel you have to pay for if you're stupid enough to.

There goes reason again: I'm not crazy, all of YOU are crazy! Woob woob woob woob!

The benefits of colonialism Let's waste 4 pages discussing more oxymorons.

Focus concern on him being an illegal alien. I'll focus on how quickly and well he blended in to the American Melting Pot

If some of these people don't start a Kennel Club for 'registered human breeds' before then....

One day, you'll progress into the twentieth century...

Do you give a shit if you are eating a banana, orange, mango, pineapple or a real piece of shit? I bet you do. So , no the day you are waiting for is never going to come as even you have no idea what you are asking for. I'm waiting for the day you white supremacists fear most: the utter mongrelization if the human race. Tremble in fear!

Nobody gives a shit that you're white. When nobody gives a shit that you're black, brown, yellow or red or what's between your legs the world will be a better place.

Better to have a liberal brain than none at all. Granpa said: "If laxatives were free there wouldn't be so many Tories" Englsh nurses just waved a sign: "The only good Tory is a suppository"

Stupidest claim ever advanced. Celebrating the birthday of the icon of British colonialism is not "white" enough for you?

Why would I oppose Christian European people? i are one. From 2 different European heritages and 2 different Christian denominations neither of which promoted hatred and disrespect unlike your so called Christianity. Perhaps if you were of a group that endured hundreds of years being shamed, you'd demand to 'celebrate' (which to them simply means not be ashamed) too.

If your chromosome count changed from 23 pairs, you would be some kind of freak. But pinheaded ignoroids from Floriduh still wouldn't understand.

Victoria Day... then what's that? WTF would you want to celebrate being white for?

So notice it without judging it. Do you know what advertising IS? Marketing to coloured people or trannies is not advertising against you. That is the exact thing racists have warped people into thinking, and is used plenty on this board. Recognizing wheelchair users is NOT discriminating against everyone else. My generation had a derogatory name for almost every European culture and used them in school. Not out of actual maliciousness as our parents did but to tease, to joke. My kids wouldn't dream of that, they'd call you out in an instant, maybe even smack you in the head. They used to remark "How gay!" when they were 12, not anymore.

The other 350 days a year aren't enough?
