Whoa: too much of a blanket statement. But unfortunately it is true that many gov't employees are entitled slackers who don't care about giving good service or working hard for their paycheque. Just putting in time 'til their pension. But not all. The DMV here is a model of efficiency - you walk in, take a number and usually get called before you can sit down. And my recent dealing with the CRA was fast and easy- I called, they said I could hang up and they would call me. They did, within 5 minutes and fixed my problem quickly. Having worked mostly in the private sector, but also a little bit in gov't, I can tell you there are almost as many slackers and incompetents in private industry, too. The main difference is most private sector workers don't have job security. And most people I know are dependable hard workers.

Yeah, maybe you should specify those deals. How does a junior cabinet minister do any of those? You're fawning like Trump's ass-kissers.

Did you have a Trumpian meltdown in the middle of the night?

Yeah fires start naturally, by lightning, etc... But people make the risk and likelihood MUCH worse! Concerns about woods travel during drought: People starting fires is only one concern. People getting stranded in woods by fire, requiring a lot of resources for extraction People starting fires while all fire-fighting resoiurces are already over-strained Fishermen in small boats on lakes preventing water bombers from reloading Complete id!ots with drones or fireworks (It happens) Keeping id!ots from going in "to watch' (It happens) Etc.... But God forbid you right wing Snowflakes should have one of your privileges temporarily restricted!

Doesn't sound like much for the G7.

Why would Carney or anyone have to 'manage' this. This is just a small molehill for you to desperately try to take a mountain over. Better go change your pants now.

Yes. We already voted that.

Do You? One outlier poll among so many. What does that tell you?

Sound like you're looking for experts to weigh in. I am definitely not an expert on the science or economics of climate change. (Hell, I'm not an expert on anything.) But the climate trend is obvious, the effects will be huge, and mitigation is absolutely required. I wonder what the insurance sector will do about it. They wield huge power to affect change. And even though China is still using huge amounts of coal, the investments they're making in renewables should tell us something. The economic discussion will yield the most results. Just going to take a while.

Yes, to keep American criminals, guns and drugs out of Canada. Alaska to be 11th, Maine 12th.

What deals?

Long Lake fire in Nova Scotia last night. Good enough reason for the woods ban.

Posted Wednesday at 03:04 PM by WestCanMan Polls are fake, and anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of statistics knows that. Were you lying then or now? Gotta' be one or the other.

That is, by a huge margin, the absolutely STUPIDEST thing anybody has said on this site! You win the DUMBASS trophy!!

Citations? We don't need no stinkin' citations!

A talent for being a yappy little attack dog, not the required talent to actually be a Prime Minister. Harper knew that - that's why he never gave him a major portfolio. “Politics should not be a lifelong career. Therefore, I would institute a limit of two terms for members of Parliament.” Pierre Poilievre Not even smart or honourable enough to take his own advice!

Yes, blowing a huge lead and losing a 4th election for the Cons. Keep up the good work, PeePee!

US wholesale inflation index rising. Brothel, stripper and beer business tanking. Manufacturing falling: Coming soon - Bad inflation at best, possibly a recession for the US. Why should we shoot ourselves in the foot with tariffs? Nobody here knows anything about the real negotiations going on because they are not conducted in public, rightly so.

“Politics should not be a lifelong career. Therefore, I would institute a limit of two terms for members of Parliament.” Pierre Poilievre.

Yeah, you and Trump always say "Polls are fake" except when they say what you want to hear. You guys just can't get over losing again! And WTF is AGW FCS?

You right -wingers always use that lame excuse when a Conservative does something you don't like.

Quote where I said CBC or STFU, idjit.

Yeah, and criminals will get guns so why have any gun laws. Why make fentanyl illegal? Why have any speed limits? Why have any laws? It's a really stupid argument you're making. "Criminals will break laws, so why have laws? Charter of rights and freedoms Section 6 – Mobility rights 6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada. (2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right: to move to and take up residence in any province; and to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province. "These rights are not absolute and are subject to certain limitations, primarily related to general laws and reasonable residency requirements for public services." You're getting your rights and privileges mixed up again. Stop lying. Nobody has banned people from an entire province.

You should do some research for a change. You won't look so stupid.
