Why is Canada such a mess in so many ways?
Barquentine replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I'm sorry you're such a deeply unhappy man. -
Nuclear Power Makes A Come Back
Barquentine replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Why so defensive? Did I mention PeePee? But since you brought him up, when are the Cons having their leadership race? -
Nuclear Power Makes A Come Back
Barquentine replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
No. Most of the left, like me, think nuclear is a good idea. But I bet a lot of right wing politicians, their supporters and the oil industry backing them won't. -

What about the credit for what we've become. Ranked 4th best country to live in in 2024. Just sayin'. It isn't all gloom and doom, unless your glasses are tinted that way. -

In theory, yes... I agree with most of your post, but I also agree with Eyeball about the 'Haves and Have-nots'. -
The health care system continues to fail Canadians
Barquentine replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
https://www.bbc.com Shortages of doctors mean the average GP in England has to care for 17% more patients than nine years ago, a BBC analysis shows. https://www.euromotion-medical.com The shortage of doctors in France is a well-documented reality, exacerbated by the aging medical population and a lack of new recruits. https://rohitbatrateach.com Germany is facing a significant healthcare staff shortage https://www1.racgp.org.au Australia is critically short of GPs – and the shortfall is growing, predicted to be 8,600 GPs by 2048. As opposed to private systems like the US where medical care depends on how much money you have? -
THE BIGLY DOME!!!!

Yes you have. Do you actually know anyone in the real world? I know small business owners who can't find people to fill available positions, some even turning work down because they can't find enough people to work. If you haven't heard or read of workforce shortages, now and in the coming years, then you, as usual are stunningly under-informed, or just plain stunned. Yes you have. Once again I'd like to ask you to think for yourself, but it seems that when you occasionally do the results are laughable.

Read a newspaper, for God's sake. But I'm not surprised. After all, you're the id!ot who thinks they don't have conservatives in the US. Take a couple of Midol and have a nap. You'll be fine How long ago did you stop reading? 10, 20 years ago? When the words got too big?

Canada Post Strike is On from the looks of things:
Barquentine replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I often use Canada Post to send packages to the states. Their prices have gone up but they're still cheaper and more reliable than UPS and the others. We get home delivery but 1 or 2 days a week would suffice. Most postal workers actually don't make very high wages but Canada Post is dying the 'Death of a thousand cuts" (how I feel getting old). I hope they can revise and streamline. -
Toronto, November 29, 2023 – Small businesses in Canada missed over $38 billion in revenue opportunities last year because they had to turn down or postpone contracts or sales due to labour shortages, finds a new report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Paranoid racism. That's right. we need to build efficient train and bus routes. Yeah the Arctic ice isn't melting and we don't have more floods, wildfires and heat then ever. Those are just liberal fabrications, right? Only to scared white folks like you.
