  1. The Globe and Mail When its all said in done, benefits and all, they get 80 bucks an hour. This is from the Globe and Mail. Teachers in MB if they have their University Ed. maxed out make about 70K. How about you provide a link that shows they make 25-35 bucks an hour. It's simple just click on the icon to the right of the smiley face and follow the prompts. I have bought Canadian Union made farm machinery and it's all junk, that is why the company ran into huge trouble and got bought out by Fiat. The Universal Joints on my GMC truck do not have grease fittings, which is very very stupid because I have to replace them every so often. Those U joints made from Canadian Magna. Canada makes garbage and likes to rip off consumers, and now are paying for it. All of my stuff made in third world countries works better than the stuff they made in Canada, those workers in the third world countries are happy to have jobs, and are more inspired to do a better job, whereas unionized Ontario employees think consumers should subsidize their laziness.
  2. According to the CTV interview in december, I don't think that's off the table at all. It's an easy sell to the general public.
  3. More than giving 700 billion to poor people. Having all those employees of the financial institutions going on the dole while poor people get a check for being poor is poison for an economy. The Bush admin might not be the most intelligent admin, they certainly aren't complete idiots.
  4. No, that's why I support the GST cut, everybody gets a cut (not to mention it really helps me). I was saying that business's not getting any tax cut, while the poor get it is sheer nonsense. Are you saying that we should punish people for succeeding (priority given to low and middle income earners)?
  5. Your guess is as good as mine as to what went on in that meeting. Harper as you know is the type of person who would shell the GG if she gave the coalition gov't. Engineering their own defeat is a pretty simple accusation to dodge.
  6. Then by that logic, the Bush Administration would have spent the 700 billion dollars bailing out the poor people of the country. It seems to me business's contribute more to the economy than skids do.
  7. If they are the only tax breaks given out in this day and age, then I say in a sense it is.
  8. I wouldn't doubt it. It's too tempting, especially now
  9. Except the money I save on income taxe reduction is significantly more than a poor person. My tax break savings are thousands of dollars, a poor person's is hundreds of dollars. Who is going to spend more in the economy? Same goes for business's, they can spend more researching, hiring workers, and buying inputs. A poor person cannot. Who stimulates the economy more?
  10. Of course the Palestinians have the right to self defense they are however are doing a piss poor job of it. The IDF has steam rolled them. If there are IDF troops inside Gaza or the west bank, they are fair game. However, due to Hamas being a pathetic war machine, it doesn't even look like they are defending themselves.
  11. I should bloody well hope they are directed towards business's and the rich, we spend the most money. If business's suffer, not only they suffer, but the working poor that are employed by them as well. Better to help out business's so the working poor still has a job. Boo fricken hoo the poor had tax raised on them. Being poor shouldn't mean getting a free ride. Business's need tax breaks more than the poor, they bear all the risks, do all the investing, and provide most of the jobs.
  12. And this is why my farm has gone corporate. No losing land, house, machinery, etc. for this cowboy!
  13. That would defend on your term of feminist. Your term I can accept. The feminists that who cry discrimination regarding mens golf country clubs yet at the same time fly the curve's women's only fitness room flag; I have no respect for at all. The whore in question is trying to soak the guy when the guy did nothing wrong at all. If she is willing to go after the husband's loot, the husband should be able to take full custody of the kids, and let the judge decide on it.
  14. In other words forcing them. There are many good priests that have decided on their own to go into that line of work. They make the commitment and know full well what they are getting into and flat out want to do that line of work. Suggesting to somebody who's heart isn't in it to take on that kind of an oath is a recipe for disaster. Somebody would snap and some poor alter boy would pay the price for having another ticking time bomb slipping through the cracks. Do you want that on your head?
  15. Forcing a homosexual against his will into the clergy. You do know that means no sex right. By forcing somebody to take that oath, you are asking for somebody to snap. And it has many many times in the clergy.
  16. And you have walked into a trap... Forcing repressed homosexuals into the clergy is poison. Why should some alter boy pay for your headcaseness?
  17. So let me get this straight, this whore sleeps around on her husband, and is now demanding money from the husband to pay for child support of kids that aren't even his. Feminism = I want equality and I want to be more equal than you. The guy should get the kids and this whore should be paying child support, that might mean she might have to do what she does best in order to get the money.
  18. Are you on crack? Free trade has done very well for Canada. Being as we have a positive trade balance, Free trade is in our best interests. If Canada didn't pay its auto workers 80 bucks an hour and made cars people want, then the auto sector wouldn't be in the mess that its in. The auto sector was in trouble before the recession, the recession just sped the process up. What's wrong with investing in third world countries? The richer they get, the more of our products they buy.
  19. It also helps when Dragon's Den is a totally original concept.
  20. I didn't say it had to make sense. I didn't say the trial wasn't going to happen. I think it will, and based on such flimsy evidence and the fact that the IED issue (yes it is strange, but plausible) will probably see our capt. be acquitted.
  21. Country music sounds great on AM radio. Talk is garbage. I like the country radio station, it has that "rest of the story" which is interesting, lots of country music, grain/cattle prices, news, weather, and the other niceties that tie into rural life.
  22. Your forgetting also is that the body hasn't been recovered. How the hell are we supposed to know anything if we can't even do an autopsy? Those two shots could have been in the air, or shot nearby the insurgent. I think reasonable doubt has been established. I'm not saying the IED defense is strong, it is in fact a weak defense. However it does it's job as giving a reason in capping the insurgent and casting reasonable doubt. Maybe the Capt. saw something he thought was suspicious when he was alone with the Insurgent. Like I said the Capt's life is on the line, he can take any means to protect it. Distance doesn't matter concerning with an IED, if a soldier suspects somebody has an IED or is a potential suicide bomber, than said person gets lit up like a christmas tree, whether its from 1 yard or 100. If the capt. feels at any time his life is threatened, I think he has the right to defend himself wounded insurgents or no wounded insurgents. Remember he is also an officer and would be quite a quarry for an insurgent. The capt. could have thought he seen a grenade and capped him.
  23. Canadians would rather have an election than transfering power to a coalition without voting for a coalition. That has been established. Gov. Jean most likely would not grant a coalition gov't involving seperatists given the extreme outrage of Canadians. The Liberals want away from this coalition considering Ignatieff's position on it. The coalition according to Canadians stinks and is not wanted. Canadians are concerned about the economy, the Liberals better realize that and pass Harper's budget.
  24. ctv I don't read anywhere where it says the insurgent wasn't deemed a threat. The capt. could have very easily thought the insurgent was still capable of setting off an IED, or possibly blowing himself up. Better to cap him than to risk being blown to smithereens. Sorry, but War is Hell. There are too many grey areas. How do we know that the capt. didn't fire those shots in the air? How do we know that the capt. didn't fire those shots into the ground either? Lots of reasonable doubt strewn about. But hey lets go against justice and throw reasonable doubt out the window.
