Canada post should be self sufficient. most mail nowadays is flyers which most people just throw in the garbage.

and I suspect that Harper eats the brains of infants

Topaz-, do you think the leader was the only one?

this is a case of sheer greed and non-accountability

We cannot be the saviour to the entire world. That is totally impractical. Can anyone explain why refugees were getting better and more health care than tax paying Canadians?

teachers don't have it so bad. After all, they only work about 175-200 days a year, they have lots of holidays, most work only 6hr/day, they have great benefits, many have tenure, they have defined benefit pensions, most work no more than 6-7 hrs/day. I am thinking of becoming a teacher - I nned the time off.

cyber- I am curious why you find it diificult to accept that the NDP could havem done something wrong

I understand that Quebec would be a basket case w/o the ROC

Transfer payments from the ROC since 1957 = $257B. And provincial deficit of 250B om their own.

socialist- you drive? OMG lock up the kids

Topaz- r u saying that the libs did not download some of the deficit in order to eliminate the deficit?

well said Argus

madmax-bullshit

I disagree and suggest that the ROC is subsidizing daycare($7/day) and post secondary tuition ( $2500.yr) and who knows what else; when the ROC cannot afford those same benefits. Would you please explain just how Quebec will be able to provide those benefit s w/o the largesse of the ROC AND pay their debt. I believe that Norway is better than solvent as they have wisely handled their oil revenue and not at all a third world country. As for your last stamen in your last message Quebec would not be a province of Canada if they separated.

madmax- Quebec has received approx $250m from transfer payments which monry comes from the ROC. Despite that, they are in debt for approx. another $250m . I doubt if the international community will look favorably on the Quebecers, hence I suggest that quebec risks becoming a third world country

the Tories of Alberta have been spending money to buy votes like drunken sailors. They have been in power since 1971 - 41 years and have lost the ability to blush

madmax - Are you suggesting that Quebec is the only one of the ten provinces that makes excessive contributions? I highly doubt that. If Quebec separates, they will lose the vast amounts given top them by the Feds and ROC and they will become a third world country that speaks French in a world of anglo

I doubt it

the ROC indirectly subsidizes Quebed thru $8Byr worth of transfer payments. which is, in itself, very unfair to the ROC

a little defensive aren't you

waldo - you seem to have the habit of attacking those who post that you disagree with. You would have more credibility if you dealt witht he merits of their post

good luck with that

One poster said he/she had not seen any facts to back up their contention of Quebec mismanagement. I would think tst having received $257B in transfer payments and $200B in provincial debt is evidence of mismanagement.

Immigration is hot the Libs stayed in power for so long.

Topaz - imimi9gration is how the Libs stayed in power fo so long.
