Umm there are not enough CEOs in the market place and the fact that their job involves decision making worth millions of dollars justifies their salaries. They get paid as little as the board of directors wants to pay them.

The only raping going on is by the government and the aristocracy in those countries, they pissed away all the money investors put in there on consumption.

Chicago doesn't have forte as well, Uh oh!!!

In Canada, you get the shot to go into upper class, whether you want it bad enough is up to you.

An employer has to maintain an efficiency curve. Pay to little, you get little to no productivity and it hurts profit. Pay to much and your employees get complacent and lazy and productivity goes down. The employer has to hit the sweet spot to maximize production.

You'd be surprised how much power parliament has, ask The British king who lost his head.

Well that would depend on how the negotiations went. To have the bc first nations under some kind of agreement might mean giving up the mineral rights. They did it with farmers, and some outfits still have theirs.

And you do know that you would have quite the situation if the constitution were to be amended. And I don't think the supreme court can get into that. If there is a cause to amend the constitution, it can be amended. We just broke Kyoto, like bc2004 says economics trumps virtue. However more and more bands are working with private industry and getting themselves out of poverty. If the bands get themselves out of poverty and are cooperative with projects, then nobody cares about treaty obligations. Ask chief Favel and his negotiations with Sprott resource management. Ask the tswwassen, and ask the hereditary chief of the first nation that gave the green light to the pipeline, and apparently more bands are on board. My link Oh and where was the supreme court during the build up to the Olympics? Like I said enforcement is discretionary.

Get ready for culture shock, at least it isn't in Saskatchewan, that's one step further

Or perhaps we can let them all run around free outside of your house

If you don't have money you can't afford workers, gov't or corporation. Ask GM and Greece.

I suppose you haven't heard about municipalities down south going broke. Can't have too many employees

Bye bye gov't workers

Do you know how an economy works?

Nationalizing the banking industry is e stupidest idea I've ever heard. There would be an even larger moral hazard and losses than we have now. That's how you devalue the currency and put the brakes on growth. They should have been allowed to fail and the Canadian banks would have picked up the assets for pennies on the dollar.

And given the way things are today with increased productivity, those jobs aren't necessary anymore. An employer wants to hire as little employees as possible and have the work as automated as possible.

You do realize that the Feds can overlook that. Heck they did it with Kyoto and the supreme court did nothing. The supreme court aren't robots. Do you think they observed the royal proclamation when they put the trans Canada through, when they developed bc in the early days? Treaties and proclamations get broken all the time and are enforced at discretion.

Oh well some bands are smarter than others, perhaps they should look at how whitecap Dakota does things and how tswwassen does things, or how chief Favel has negotiated with Sprott resource management. Slowly but surely they're coming around. The trend is your friend and the trend is them getting out of the thumb of big government.

There's that entitlement attitude again. Do you think the employers have to provide jobs? A worker demanding things in a bad economy is like an airhead wife demanding designer shoes when there isn't money to pay for them. It works that way in Alberta and sask. Hence the higher wages.

Spoken by someone who doesn't understand management. A big problem in western society.

Well looks like jacee's hope has been. Smashed My link So much for a united front...

I was interested in popping up a turbine or two and wanted to see how that would pencil out. I attended a presentation at the u of s about it and that was the end of that idea. So much red tape, the roi was pitiful, I was better off to do nothing.

It's still not as profitable as oil, the wind energy is a way for the energy companies to soak the government

I'm not saying I didn't, pot shots get responded with pot shots in kind.

Its those that make the comments that make you guys look bad and get pot shots in retaliation.
