My last post was obviously sarcasm. Even if consideration for high speed was not involved as dedicated transit track along this corridor should have been done 40 years ago. Opposing it today is sheer blockhead-edness. Dougie's partly right in his comment. We tend on every damn project to spend an entire decade 'studying' projects until that alone gobbles up the original budget, so IF anything proceeds it's an order of magnitude more. The damn Port Mann bridge alone cost more than the province's entire budget was in the 1970s.

Why build rail when we can sell them 100,000 cars to get there, Can't even pee in a bottle and toss it our the window on a train. And it will take the power of 62,000 extra Suns to run a train that far too!

I was so bad at woodwork I think my Grade 9 bookcase is in some NSA lockup as they figure out how I got 4 dimensions out of one plank... measure nine times, cut once. curse. get more wood.

If God ever speaks to me endorsing ethnic cleansing, I will have the brains to know it's not Him.

Democrats didn't do anything at all. Not even condemn the disgusting blackmail idea of the idea. The Mango Mor0n managed to destroy it single handed by not controlling his obnoxious fat mouth. No help needed, not even JD Vance jumping in to ensure it failed.

I only had a week and toured the Port Au Port peninsula and them took the ferry to Sydney NS. Beautiful sights, amazing people. I'd rather see the rest of Atlantic Canada than some stupid flashing lights at a tourist trap. Formerly someone who crossed the border weekly and did extensive vacationing on the US West coast in the 1970s - 1990s. The 'root cause' is entirely the retrograde thinking that free trade is bad and hiding behind 19th century isolationist tariffs is good. Canada doesn't want that, but may have to do it to the USA a response as it expands free trade with the real world.

Churchill became PM when Chamberlain was replaced at the start of the war not by an election but by his Party (a distinct advantage of the parliamentary system over the USA's). An election was held quickly after the end of the war in Europe and Churchill lost. No British elections were held during the war in Europe. You hear something else coming out oi the Orange Arsehole's mouth different than the rest of the world. Or are simply being picky claiming surrendering a goodly chunk of a country is not surrendering at all. At best President Scumbag is offering a Korean style ceasefire and access to Ukraine's resources for negotiating and NATO ineligibility even that little. Russia is not being asked for any concessions whatsoever for it's invasion, keeps the land stolen and the resources within. Worse The Emperor is celebrating how he will 'normalize relations' with Russia. Makes Neville Chamberlaine look like a f*cking war hero and you're defending this POS even after he's shown his ultimate boorishness and betrayal to the entire world? Shame!

The man who surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban now wants to surrender Ukraine to Putin and wants it's resources for doing it.... surrendering Palestinians is in the works.

The fun of stll snivelling over past hurts so much later means any links are so far down the search links no one will bother to corroborate to prove or contest. You're free to post preposterous lies without being called out for it.

Feel free to hand over Point Roberts and the NW Angle. Maybe toss in the Alaska panhandle and we can make a deal. We'll promise no export taxes on hydro power or Alberta oil and not to start WW3. Even toss in water, so long as it leaves in 19L bottles

"Need to see"? We live next door and have been watching it for decades. Since the border changed from 'welcome northern brothers' to 'you're just another f*cking foreigner' days. WN, OR, CA, the redwoods and Death Valley will remain memories and photos in an old album, I'd sooner visit Quebec and Newfoundland than ever go to Florida, Vegas, or Hawaii

How's about our annual end of ski season race where people ride leaky canoes, car hoods, even a bathtub down the slopes for prizes? Not really a function of a Men's Shed though, but something to sponsor.

One of the reasons I'm involved. Might be a master of electronic stuff, but I'm useless with woodworking, painting and some automotive related stuff. Love to cook but know dick about baking. Great opportunity to trade skills, help the community and give seniors a sense of purpose. I think that was what made both my father and father in law pass so soon after retirement. I'm also disgusted with people who simply refuse to learn new things and have to be sneaky teaching them, so they don't realize they are.

When they spread that line until it was believed by so many and removed the progressive from the party name was when I stopped supporting them ever again. Merged with the Reform party not realizing they were mainly Reform Schoolers more interested in breaking things than fixing them.

Only a drooling id10t would bring lefties and communists into a conversation about supporting Ukraine. The USSR didn't last long enough to garner support from lapdogs but Russia managed to. Traitors

The most disgusting, unethical, immoral US President to ever take office berates someone doing his best to defend their country from invasion with bean counting financial logic. Even using the opportunity to berate Biden for supporting them while continuing the lie that only the USA prevented a total Russian takeover. Bullying, interrupting, refusing to listen the typical abhorrent Trump standard on full display. F*ck him. That's "Making America great again"? If Zelenaky had spat in Trump's face, told him to f*ck off and walked out the Actual Free World would've stood up and cheered. A goddam administration with the whole Glorius F*cking Almighty Yanks propaganda shoved so far up their ass they can't even think straight. France is offering Europe it's nuclear umbrella, Britain must do the same. America is OVER for at least the next four years. Watch for Europe to send advisors and troops and risk a larger confllct while the USA, as usual, sits with it's thumbs up it's arse fretting about $$$ until it's forced to step in. Storm the Capitol over bullshit claiims of election fraud and do nothing as this dimwit shames your country to the entire world? Not the America I was raised to believe in. Putin is laughing while Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan turn in their graves.

You were replying to something other than the main content of the quote? Or just picking out a couple words simply to have something to reply to? Like CDNFaux does when he's compulsed to reply within 3.2 seconds?

Laisser faire! It must be the belief in the Elon Musk version of the Bible. It is easier for a rich man to enter heaven than pass a poor one through the eye of a needle. And that that part Jesus going down on the moneylenders.....

Oh the class dimwit objects again shouting black is really white. The very personification of sheer contrarianism himself.......

The Almighty Yanks will invoke the spirit of 1938 Munich, collaborate with the enemy and decide how much another country shall concede to avoid the possibility of having to DO anything. This time not to buy time to build up for a possible war, but strictly our of financial Cost Effectiveness. Making Chamberlain look like a f*cking hero, this time not acting with other 3rd parties as cohorts in the extortion but by one man as he believes himself to truly be King Shit. FFS America, get your shit together. Before the actual Free World uses your own concept ot "Regime Change" on you. Keep up the foot dragging about this Orange Lunatic who thinks he's the Emperor, or it may become a reality, by any means necessary.

Yet the fact you deny the basic business concept of best ROI indicates otherwise. Getting sick of nothing but m0rons and outright liars posting shit to simply be contrarian. As mentally challenged as your President promoting Keystone XL at the same time as imposing tariffs on the oil it would carry! And Canadians with the same idea... why in hell do you think a pipeline east is not already built? A- Because Alberta got world pricing for it's oil in the 1980s. Why the hell would any oil company build an extremely expensive pipeline when there was no cost saving. B- Because we threw out the govt that would even think of investing public money in such a project and privatized the corporation PetroCanada that did shit like that for a govt that was business oriented and believed in point A)...... Want a 'forced eastern pipeline' that a govt, Tory or not? Then get behind a shorter one that reroutes the existing one in Tory Ontario so it doesn't have a chokepoint in Michigan where hostile State or US politicians can't threaten us with it!

Rustad didn't take long to show his true colours taking "Loyal Opposition" in it's GOP translation as total obstructionism and immediately trying a Motion of Non-confidence in the Legislature before anything else. He's also going down the same road of undermining voter confidence by attacking BC Elections on a riding vote that he already conceded after a narrow loss that went to Judicial Review. Today after only a single Cons. MLA voiced opinion against residential school denials by other caucus members, Rustad will stick to his 'party members should be free to express their opinions' policy. That one member of course was a former BC United MLA from Kamloops. Such things shows the problem of stealing the Conservative label and using the populist brand name to run the worst in people. Only one shows some spine.

Squaek squeak invest billions of $ and years of effort so you can buy $75 oil instead of spending nothing to get $60 oil. You'd fail in a week running a business.

Well he probably thinks Mulroney was an extreme leftist too for promoting Free Trade and the GST. I mean his Bronze Bozo hero thinks VATs are subsidies and claims the sellers pay the sales taxes. Even half the Americans that pay sales tax every day believe The Liar.
