So the NDP implements new taxes/"royalties" on oil sands companies, causing over a billion dollars in losses, and you're cool with it because you think they're some of the lowest taxes in North America?

The Invasion of Europe - Germany to take in 800,000 migrants
kraychik replied to scribblet's topic in The Rest of the World
Blaming the right-wing and what you describe as its "economic and military policies" for conflict in the Middle East is quite a stretch. -
Is it your contention that Canada's population must grow, no matter what the cost?
-
The region, yes. Not the country. Not the nation.
-
Exactly. It wasn't Canada then.

Agreed, Michael Hardner pays no mind to relevant history. Even if one is ignorant of relevant history, however, one should be able to contemplate the value of social cohesion and the consequences of its absence. Contemporary and irresponsible immigration policies combine with destructive "multiculturalism" polices to wreak havoc on social cohesion.

I'm starting to think you're trolling.

I'd highly recommend that people NOT take your advice on accounting/bookeeping (which I do for a living). Deferred income taxes are incurred due to accounting and tax regulations, which require businesses to postpone their payments in taxes for various reasons. This was NOT voluntary on the part of any company, as you're portraying it to be. Also, framing the tax hike as a 2% increase is misleading. It's a 20% increase in the total money paid in taxes, given that it jumped from ten to twelve percent. The $567 million dollars noted in the article were NEW TAXES resulting from the tax increase. You realize earnings can vary greatly across years due to variable costs, right? There are resources online that can help explain this stuff to you if you're genuinely curious.

I've never heard of the program. I don't like the sound of it, though. As they say, though, don't judge a book by its cover. Like Bonam said, if you've got a point, make it. Educate us. -

Imagine putting immigration policy to a national referendum in Canada, or any leading European country. And imagine only asking those who've either been citizens for at least twenty years. The immigration/invasion status quo would die, right there (at least symbolically). -

More importantly, they ask for evidence they know doesn't exist in scientific format. I love when people posture as academics and give the full-throated demand for "peer-reviewed studies". When hearing that, you instantly know you're dealing with a (likely simple-minded) pedant. -
I love the unearned arrogance of leftists who refer to "the masses" with contempt. You're an undiscovered god among men. Thankfully the heavens have delivered you to us to guide us plebs to the promised land.

What would we do without you? Thank you for protecting us delicate flowers from offensive posts. Are you this interesting in the real world, or is it an online exclusive?

Right. You're a fact-driven man. Not at all a leftist. I remember.

We'll have to disagree. I absolutely oppose any state funding for media outside of limited national security objectives. Further, left-wing bias is a natural product of a state-broadcaster. You *cannot* have a state-broadcaster that isn't left-wing. If parties can't solicit funding, they should get out of the political business. Just like the real world. No subsidies. America needs MORE fundraising, not less. Too many people don't put their money where their mouths are. More money from more grassroots salt of the earth Americans and you might not have seen two terms of Obama.- 34 replies

Oh right, I remember this routine. You demanding evidence you know doesn't exist because it hasn't been researched. Your posturing as a scientifically-oriented just-the-facts-ma'am objective rationalist was amusing, if not tedious. Glad to see you haven't changed. If a tree falls in the woods and I hear it, but Michael Hardner doesn't.... did it make a sound?

You're right. People have no choice but to watch TV and radio. They are literally forced to watch and listen to both. Unlike newspapers and magazines. Or something.- 34 replies

I have faith in those you contemptuously refer to as "the masses". I don't feel the need to protect what you perceive as their feeble minds from propaganda. At least you're on the record now, officially, that you want state control of political expression and criminalization of its manifestations that aren't approved by the state. Thanks for coming out. I like clarity.

I'm like the Altneuland of MLW. -
Vancouver immigrants are very atypical. Not representative of the types of immigrants in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, or Montreal. I mean, there are Orientals/Asians/East Asians in all those cities, but not to the same extent. Not sure the data we're looking for exists.

Disagree. Public funding of campaigns is an abomination. As is the existence of the CBC, which is doing a 24/7/365 campaign for leftism. Worse is the CRTC, which destroys competition and preserves the status quo of left-wing TV (Global, CTV, Omni, CHRO, etc). It's all part of the campaign, although I think people see this as a separate issue. What I'm unfamiliar with is what the restrictions are, if any, on donations to PACs. Remind me to research that.- 34 replies

I agree with the last part.... immigrants aren't particularly driven by immigration policy. The rest... not so much. Most immigrants we bring in like a big fat welfare state.

You're right. Probably some racial connotations, too. Thank God you're here.
