White Doors

Quoted in full. Excellent post. We need more liberals like you. If there were, I don't think the word would have 'dirty' connotations to it in the US. thank you.

Perhaps, but either way, anyone that requests such dollars is saying essientially that. They want me to pay for their choice. Bottom line. I don't want to pay for other's life choices. That's rather silly, don't you think? I guess it would depend if you wanted more immigration or more of a self-sustaining society. Your choice. You can't have it both ways.

Put your tinfoil hat on, that will protect you.

Ahh.. foreign owned by a company and foreign owned by a government are two different things. I agree, I would nto want a foreign GOVERNMENT to own a large CDN corporation like Bell. Not a very likely thing to happen though.

You are right. What differene would it make if the Globe and Mail or CTV were owned by a Chinese Organ..... BCE doesn't own those anymore. At least not much of them. But you get the point. Communications should not be foreign controlled. Whether it is the internet (sympatico) or satelitte services.......unless of course we are comfortable with The Chinese (Hell! How about a Iranian Oil Conglomerate....) owning Sympatico. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Totally agree. Take your own advice.

Because that combined with free trade puts up as the mercy of foreign corporations and gives us a government that is powerless to intervene. What happens when the foriegn owned corporation gets a monopoly and the government is so powerless it can do nothing ? Just because you can't think of a disadvantage to something doesn't mean it does not exist. If you cannot think of a reason not to do something, you need to read and research to find the disadvantages then make a decision based on being informed. this is known as having an "informed opinion" as opposed to "muck between your ears". Oh jeeze. I usuallyu have you on ignore but I just HAD to see what you had to say about this. You are completely, 100% WRONG. The telecommunications act clearly lays it all out. The government can sieze and telephone companies assets in a time of emergency if they do not comply with the escalation triage. You are clearly out of your element here. With the history of your posts one would think you would be worried about the goverments ability to do this with the telecommunications act than whioch shareholders are making money off of your 1-900 calls. At least be consistent in your paranoia Poly.

Well your fears are unfounded. The Telecommunications act is very tight and telecommunications companies have to have secure, redundant networks to ensure basic communications for the military and government. It's the #1 priority. Bell is not th eonly company that has to do this, they all do. Your fears are completely unfounded and are based on ignorance.

Bell is no where NEAR a monopoly. I forgive you though because obviously you are not keeping up with what is going on in ICT. What's the big players in the Canadian Media? CBC BellMedia Canwest Sounds like a near monopoly to me, an oligarchy more like it which is the kind of crap I have to put up with in the Ag sector. I hope that investor buys Bell and sells it off so it ends up scattering it the 4 winds. Where's Charles Anthony and his cronyism, the Canadian MSM is an example of that. What? You are talking abotu CTV? BCE recently spun that off and only owns something like 10% of it now. And what you are describing isn't a monopoly but an Oligopoly. Regardless, Bell has next to nothing to do with either.

Who said that? In fact, the definition of a real man that moderate did excellently would actually be the opposite would it not? They are to sacrificve themselves for their loved one's? That is not a superiority complex.

Only if you use Alanis Morissette's unique definition of ironic. They are logically consistent if you believe that the Government should be involved in picking winners and losers in our economy. Disagree. Incentives for a company to TAKE a risk and to CONTINUE to be a risk are not the same as the federal budget just pointed out to us all.

I agree with you on huge government subsidies but when you look at the airline manufacturing industry as a whole, bomabrdiers situation is hardly unique. In fact, they are the most 'free market' of the airline manufacturers. The solution, ultimately, is freer trade. Ironic that the leftists are against this, no?

Bell is no where NEAR a monopoly. I forgive you though because obviously you are not keeping up with what is going on in ICT.

The government may have not yet found a middleman to broker the deal -- for which a commission would be paid. Seriously, they may be holding out in the hopes of getting a better offer. Currently foreign companies are only allowed 46% ownership of companies in this group including Bell. However the Ontario Teacher's pension fund is being courted to be the CDN 'silent partner' in this deal. The government CANNOT stop this deal if it is how it is being presented thus far. Why don't we let telecoms and others be 100% forign owned? I mean what differnce does it make? I can tell you in Bell's case it would be a good thing.

Thanks for your intelligent insights August. I wish we had more quality posts like this on this forum.

Scalpel Stat!

Who's Woody?

Awww.. he's a leftist and thinks Iran is in the right with the British hostages. Q'uelle suprise! LOL How cute! ~smooch~

Does it matter that all western criminal law considers WHY and HOW the life was taken? You know, the difference between murder, manslaughter, self defence, suicide? Do you care? Do you also know that the Geneva convention explicity says that hiding active military units behind the cover of civilians is a war crime? Of course, you do not care as that would bring your fragile western hating world crashing down. Go ahead, you keep trying to convince yourself. We'll all read and enjoy your ramblings. LOL you should go over the the 9/11 thread and give us some more of your 'insight' over there. Thanks!

Don't bother myata. Any sane person can see your posts for what they are. You aren't convincing anybody. You are firmly entrenched in the lunatic fringe. Congratulations.

No, it's WWCND?

Does it matter to you that no court in the world agrees with you?

So it is your assertion that All tne natives died because of that practice? ie: If they didn't give them these blankets they wouldn't have died? hint: they were already dying. They saw that they were, had no idea why and tried that. It is one specific reference and there has been many disputes as to even it's veracity. What part of 'thick' do you not understand?

haha Such a BOLD statement! Watch out! here comes Canada, they are part of the international community. hahaha!! Being part of a community doesn't mean one need be the one to "watch out! for" in my world. In your world, in your community, on your street -- I bet you are a bully, the guy to "watch out! for". Re: Inferiority -- not any more baby. Maybe a number of years ago, but today, I highly doubt if "being American" garners any envy whatsoever. Except in the minds of Candian rightwingers perhaps. Pity, anger, disgust... but certainly not ENVY. So you were envious but aren't anymore? haha ok. Me a bully? how would you be privy to this information?
