I realize the above post does not make any sense without a link, something I could not edit, as it was posted as a separate and new entity from this thread, but Charles Anthony for reasons unknown decided to merge it with this thread. Anyways, here is the link to the story I posted. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/stor...9c8b1b6&k=60520

"Pleading with Quebecers not to panic, Transport Department officials made public yesterday a list of 135 bridges, overpasses and ramps that it has targeted for special inspection because of concerns they could collapse." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is it you do not hear of of major problems with bridges, overpasses and ramps in other provinces. I can't help but notice in the province I live in, especially notice, by inconvenience, and detours, preventive maintenance and large scale repairs being done to bridges, overpasses and ramps. Why is Quebec so unable to deal with infrastructure work and repairs of this type while in other provinces it carries on this type of work on a regular basis? It seems Quebec Transport Department is totally oblivious to preventive maintenance and only wake up when it is to late.

Ha, good luck with that. As if that is needed. It is desperately needed. Is this an invention of the majority ' White English speaking Canadians and their culture'? http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/ This Charter tries to mimic the fact this Charter is good for all Canadians. Many Canadians already know there are sections designed specifically to destroy the 'White fact' with unearned powers and rights of minorities that have no legitimate right to be granted these type of powers, by a government that is suppose to serve ALL Canadians and a government that should have NO CHOICE but to remain NEUTRAL, towards the cultural rights of ALL Canadian. If the government chooses to entertain minority concerns, find another way that does not racially discriminate, oppress, and interfere with another Canadians culture.

In another thread 'Jefferiah' made the the totally wrong statement "Making an action figure of Noah is a silly way to preserve faith." This is the way a faith (Christianity is immortalized) by way of statues, including even of God himself. Politicians do it all the time, just visit Parliament Hill. They know immortalizing famous politicians by way of statues, adds a high degree of political legitimacy pertaining to Canada's history. http://www.parliamenthill.gc.ca/text/explorestatues_e.html So to preserve the majority 'White English speaking Canadian' culture, we could emphasis that that fact everywhere, with the inclusion of 'statues' commemorating the White English speaking culture of Canada, across Canada. These statues could include all significantly important 'White English speaking Canadians' from municipal politicians, Christian religion, scientist, sports, media, business, etc. If it works for religion, and politics, why should it not work for the majority primary culture of this country? The importance of the majority White culture must be preserved and propagated and not be overshadowed by minorities who are trying desperately to topple Canada's 'White English culture'.

Got to hand it to that Bill Cosby guy, sure is observant. Wonderful culture isn't it? Only problem is, it belongs in the backwoods of Africa along with another one here in Canada the belongs to prehistoric France.

There are many reasons couples don't want children and most of them from the people I talked with, are associated with a Liberalized Canada. There are just to many values and morals thrown out the window, along with loose lifestyles, crime, cultural indifference and a corrupt, uncaring society driven by greed. Why should a couple burden themselves with the almost impossible task of raising children when they can simply pool their working revenues and buy a new house, a couple of cars and maybe throw in a cottage. Is this not what especially the Liberals lecture buy, buy , buy, buy. Don't blame couples for not having children, blame government.

There is a name for what was done and is called "aggressive assimilation". But I agree with you and would have done what you seem to imply, nothing. Natives have been treated generously and cost Canadians tax payers for 2006-2007: "Federal Spending on Aboriginal People The Government spends more than $9 billion1 each year to fund programs directed towards Aboriginal people. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada provides about $6.5 billion, of which about 80 per cent is for basic, province-type services for First Nations on reserve (e.g. education, social services, income assistance), where the Government has primary responsibility. Thirty-three other federal departments and agencies, the largest of which is Health Canada, with planned spending of about $2.1 billion, also provide a wide variety of programs for First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Budget 2006 committed $150 million in 2006–07 and $300 million a year thereafter for a new approach to support priorities in education; women, children and families; and water and housing. In addition, the Government provided $300 million for off-reserve Aboriginal housing and $300 million for affordable housing in the territories, and announced $500 million to assist communities affected by the Mackenzie Gas Project. " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, 2006–07 Estimates, Report on Plans and Priorities. Firstly, I think they should have sent the parents to school. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aborigin...ialschools.html

The post you quoted as part of what Leafless wrote, was in fact part of BornAlbertan's post.

But now they like the ways of the White man, especially Trudeau's 'Charter of right and Freedoms'. Why have dog sleds when you can have snowmobiles, why have unstable canoes when you can have large aluminum craft with large outboard motors, why live in tents when the white man builds houses for you, etc. etc etc.

I think we are talking about pollution of the Great Lakes and the dumping of raw sewage into them. What you are talking about Nanticoke is basically owed to years of hydro mismanagement being the root of the problem. But don't ever think the U.S. doesn't pollute: "As a result, American utilities are burning more coal, and 154 new coal-fired plants are on the drawing board in 42 states. Coal now accounts for about 50 percent of the power generated in the U.S. By the year 2030, that share will increase to 57 percent, according to Energy Department forecasts.[1] " http://sandersresearch.com/index.php?optio...1231&Itemid=105

No I was was referring to the hundred pounds difference in two vehicles with you saying: "but still, 100lbs could (and should) translate into better side impact protection." Most cars already have side impact bars, which really are not that effective because the end attachment points give away and also bend. I just added the total hundred pounds ONLY to the passenger compartment, over an average sq, ft, area, in sheet metal weight, to indicate how little difference a hundred pounds would make. Mini vans are empty tin cans, like Jap hatchbacks and neatly fold up when rear ended hard. But I still would sooner be driving a Montana over a Jap hatchback anyday. I think you are being unreasonable with your assessment. You cannot beat out the forces of gravity and I fully agree that in certain areas, there is no need to go to costly extreme lengths to produce negligible and questionable results. If you think these extra safety innovations COULD or POSSIBLY leave you a complete paraplegic rather than being killed instantly, I would choose the latter.

You mean another deal for Quebec, because there was also another deal reached in 2002 with the Quebec and the Cree with Quebec's provincial government for $3.6 billion over 50 years. http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1014993913 Actually the feds $1.4 billion deal goes back 1975 and a federal deal with PM Chretien at the helm but was stalled for years. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...16?hub=Politics This latest federal $1.4 billion dollar deal appears to put the icing on the cake, to cover Cree concerns, relating to the previous Quebec $3.6 billion dollar deal over fifty years. This seems to make it more than likely a closed deal for Quebec and future development of James Bay.

Deserving Cree or Cree rip off, especially with this sweetheart deal: "If ratified in a referendum in October and approved by Parliament, it will see them take control of all policing, courts and social and economic development in their communities — and perhaps eventually form their own state within Canada." Ha-ha-ha, if Quebec can't cut it, neither will the Cree be able to form on their own an independent productive society. Another society similar to Quebec being forever subsidized and fed with a silver spoon by the federal government, also known as the (sucker) tax payers of Canada. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/politics...2f298d1&k=86316 It is so gratifying to live in a communist country.

What about sugar, vinegar and mustard powder? Yes and freeze drying when appropriate. Is this the recipe Quebec used? I think kicking butt, is the answer.

We all know this type of action is a an impossibility, unless drastic action is taken by the provinces, which again is highly unlikely. Therefore it would be relatively safe to acknowledge that yes our majority English language White culture is being buried primarily by Quebec, ethnic immigrants under the direction and leadership of the federal government of Canada, to whom the users of the majority English language, White culture pay their federal taxes to. WOW! This could be a specifically added definition of 'masochism' relating to the majority English language and its White culture.

So a GMC Suburban has better crash results than a Toyota Yaris. Good observation. I was kinda hoping you would pick up on the relative size comparisons. Pound for pound, imports are more carefully designed. More than often, imports must meet multiple crash regulations, in Europe, Japan as well as America. Making a car capable of passing all three makes for quite a safe vehicle. Note. The base Cobalt coupe is 100lbs heavier than the base Civic coupe. Both are front wheel drive, 4 cylinders and thus in the same class. Perhaps the weight is negligable in this case, but still, 100lbs could (and should) translate into better side impact protection. One hundred lbs. spanned over the sq. ft. both sides of the vehicle, say 20 square ft. (passenger compartment only) per side means 2.5-lbs. more protection per sq. ft. Your head offers more crash protection. Obviously you have never seen emergency crews prying people out of small imported wrecks or picking up the pieces here and there, of whatever is left of them. You make it sound like Europeans and Japanese are leaders or set the standard in crash worthiness and safety related standards. Imports must meet U.S and Canadian standards before being allowed to sell their vehicles here. Government and NA automobile manufacturers are not a bunch of uninformed farmers and have had high quality standards for many years. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/FMVSS/index.html

I see 10's of thousand NA built vehicles on the road running fine. It seems you are having problems with used cars. When I am driving the 401, I see people flying by me like I am almost standing still and I am driving between 100-120 km per hr. Hopefully you are not one of these people and hopefully you don't end up buying one these more than likely abused vehicles and not necessarily at the time of sale as being defective or failing to pass a safety check. That is another area of concern, certifying automobiles that are borderline. In 2005 17million cars were sold in the U.S. with the U.S holding a 56.9% share. That's a lot of NA built vehicles, so they can't be as bad as you claim. http://blogs.zdnet.com/ITFacts/?p=9859 I bet most of those imports even if some people don't admit it is simply for the better mileage per litre or per gallon of gasoline, relating to the small imports, ignoring all the features of NA built vehicles and the other reason buy imports is because Toyota and Honda are made in America and not considered an import. See BC's post on Camry's and 3-yr. warranties. Most of this NA unreliability BS is untrue and basically owed to driver abuse and not looking after their vehicles. Just watch the way many people drive to-day.

Nonsense??? How about re-reading your own link: "The Institute rates passenger vehicle crashworthiness good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in front, side, and rear tests. In 2006 the cars in each size group that earned good front, side, and rear ratings qualified as Top Safety Picks 2006 (gold). Cars that earned good front and side ratings plus an acceptable rating for rear crash protection qualified as Top Safety Picks 2006 (silver). * However, don't compare ratings across vehicle size groups because size and weight influence occupant protection in serious crashes. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, lighter ones. Top Safety Picks are the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories, but this doesn't mean a small car that's a Top Safety Pick affords more protection than a bigger car that doesn't earn the award.*"

That could be a load of baloney. I know many people that are unhappy with their imports for many reasons. The main one being, seriously injured or worse, in a not to serious auto mishap and having emergency crews prying you or whatever is left of you, out of your lightweight import. So, in your opinion, now that you have raised the 'reliable transportation issue', in what area are American cars so troublesome, that according to you make the imports so superior and reliable, in relatively the same price range? I didn't say no one was unhappy with an import. I wasn't speaking for all imports by any means. I wouldn't buy a Yugo, for instance. I was speaking from personal experience strictly about the Toyota Camry, which, btw, does very well in safety tests. There are plenty of small, light American cars, too, so I'm not sure what your point is there. To my experience, American cars are just more cheaply made; they don't ride as nice, they rust out, they require more maintenance. They also depreciate in value more. The Camry is an Americanized automobile, with gas mileage just about in the same ball park as a NA built 3-l engine because of its heavier weight and the Camry offers better crash protection because of this. It has a better resale value because you initially paid significantly more for that vehicle. There are many light American built vehicles but more importantly you have a choice to buy a heavier built NA vehicle with a 5 star safety rating. That is my point. You still have not described the type of parts or component failures that you say makes NA built vehicles require more maintenance. There is a certain younger university or college crowd that imports appeal to, simply due to the better gas mileage and I personally think this is the reason imports appeal more to certain people, since a precedent has been set by supposedly informed and educated people. This can be compared to in the 60's college students set a precedent with component stereos as they were so much cheaper than the coffin type living room wooden cabinet stereos costing much more and more affordable to the younger crowd.

No I don't, since most of the time they are selling U.S. produce anyways and many are selling imported and mainly U.S. produce, under the guise of being Canadian produce. But I do enjoy certain Canadian produce items during our peak very short produce growing season. I don't support Air Canada since I don't support discriminatory language policies, especially with Air Canada's head office being in Montreal. As a matter of fact I try to avoid any type of air travel due primarily to questionable aircraft maintenance and the terrorist threat. I think NA built vehicles were a lot less reliable in years gone by then they are now. In fact they have super improved reliability. So I will ask you the same question as I did the previous poster. What in your opinion makes NA built vehicles less reliable than imports. And why are you not supportive of NA auto industry where hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs rely on this industry or associated sub-manufacturing industries?

That could be a load of baloney. I know many people that are unhappy with their imports for many reasons. The main one being, seriously injured or worse, in a not to serious auto mishap and having emergency crews prying you or whatever is left of you, out of your lightweight import.

I suggest you stay away from the fire water and stop hallucinating. "Most Christians classify the Eucharist as a sacrament. Some Protestants view it as an ordinance in which the ceremony is seen not as a specific channel of divine grace but as an expression of faith and of obedience to Christ." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucharist#Nam...r_the_Eucharist Also a lot of French Quebec profanity is attached to sacred swear words including the 'chalice' and the 'host'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity

A 16yr. old, rodding a Mustang, usually is = trouble. That explains the Mustang. Two years old, about 10,000 miles when acquired. Next. But as a 16 yr. old, did you or did you not rod that mustang? Agreed. But all of the Japanese cars were bought under similar conditions. Aside from the Mazda, no complaints (my 1989 Honda succumbed to my new wife not liking it). If you did buy cars under your own type similar conditions, then you simply got lucky with your two Japanese vehicles without having any major problems. Relating to Mustangs, I owned a used 1969 Mustang 428c.i. cobra jet, Mach 1, with no front end problems at all. The only problem I had with that vehicle out of the norm, was an over temperamental 4-barrel Holley carburetor which I eventually replaced after many attempts to get things right, at a significant replacement cost, but then again this was a special high performance carburetor. The thing I don't understand with your choice of Jap imports is that you seem to be loyal and respectful and supportive of the U.S. culture and traditions and turn around and not support its home grown auto industry. Why is that? Why would you not support your own U.S auto industry in fairly hard and competitive economic times? Are U.S. built vehicles really that inferior in you mind?

Only politicians would have as much contempt for the electorate. The Conservatives are no better. The Conservatives are better. What the Liberals did to 'White English speaking Canadians' with the implementation of well thought out series of linguistic policies and legislation, can only be described as exceeding the borders of politics into fully participating in an act of outright treason against majority English speaking Canadians and their culture. This ongoing campaign of linguistic and cultural annihilation (a literal translation-'to make into nothing') of the majority English language continues to-day with the Liberal party of Canada still intact as a national federal political party of Canada suffering no ill effects from this act of treason. An immediate referendum should be held to decide the fate of this political party and its traitorous actions against majority English speaking Canadians, the language we have inherited from the people who gave us this country, the British.

Toronto is bad but not the worst. Detroit is the worst. But nevertheless this indicates a lack of federal infrastructure funding. What I found was: "TORONTO -- The first comprehensive look at the amount of raw sewage flowing into the Great Lakes from cities in Canada and the United States has found that billions of litres are being dumped untreated every year into the sources of drinking water for communities on both sides of the border. The largest discharges came from big cities such as Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto, where antiquated sewage treatment systems are regularly overwhelmed when it rains and their contents swept untreated into the lakes. But even smaller communities, such as Ontario's London and Kingston, release large quantities of raw sewage." "Combined sewer outflows into the Great Lakes The cities are ranked according to their discharges of raw sewage into the Great Lakes. The larger the circle around a city, the greater its discharge volume. City Annual discharge in millions of litres per annum Percentage of untreated sewage released annually Detroit *50,000 0% Cleveland 20,820 0% Toronto 9,000 0% Milwaukee 4,110 5.30% Syracuse 2,645 5.77% Hamilton 2,109 2.14% Windsor 1,809 1.49% Niagara 400 2.27% Rochester 379 1.70% Kingston 349 2.68% Sudbury 317 1.00% London 300 0.25% Erie 190 0.95% Grand Rapids 190 0.99% Duluth 38 0.40% Sault Ste.
