White Doors

sound familiar?

huh? where did you get the idea that the amount of plant life has been reduced in the world overall? 500 years ago there were almost no forests left in Europe. That is not the case now. There were less trees in Canada and the USA in the 1800's than there are now.. you have to examine your assumptions more carefully. huh? CO2 does not cause smog. Do some research. Co2 is not a pollutant - it is plant food.

nice! what a load of BS. Where would Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union fit on your pathetic little scale? Talk about verification of the 'useful idiots' phrase. You are a traitor to this country, you know that? A TRAITOR Congratulations.

Drea, fleabag - do you have issues with these numbers? If so, why?

Catchme, are you slow or what? You still don't get it do you? hahaha nice CB! keep going.

And pray tell, why not?

The government should get the Canadian forces funding back up to 2% of GDP asap. There is alot of work ahead of us however getting upgraded equipment for the Navy and Airforce as well. Therefore we will need to actually spend more than 2% of GDP to get our capability level back up there with countries of our standing.

newflash - they are not the same parties despite the name. Did you not know this? You know that those high paying jobs will improve the economy of Saint John no matter where they live, correct? This project will provide a very large boost to the economy of Saint John and area. It is a good thing. As long as this passes all evnironmental regulations then no rational person should be against it. This is exactly WHy they need another refinery. Why ship our natural resources to the US RAW? A refinery makes an 'added value' finished good for export. If you really believe what you wrote here, then you should be on board with the project. If you are still not then you are just proving you have a very spurious handle on basic economics and should refrain from using terms that you plainly do not understand. Your call.

Bankers have been running the world for well over 1000 years. According to you for over 2000 as you say Julius Caeser was killed by bankers. I think it was the CIBC.

Polynewbie is my favourite poster. baylee is closing in on my second most favourite.

Well with that thinking we should shut down Pt. Lepreau too. What about the LNG plant, should we shut that plant down as well? Belldune? What else would you like to shut down? Look, as long as it passes an environmental review and they take care of the environement than I don't see an issue. I mean, it's not like NB doesn't need the jobs! Or would you rather have NB continue to suck off the federal teet into perpetuity? Look, Saint John isn't 'dirty' because of the refinery. It is 'dirty' because it's a freaking old city and the pulp and paper mill and all the shite in the harbour. Fair enough I thought you said you could see the flames themselves. my apologies. That's Saint John's issue. They need to expand their boundaries, should have been done years ago. Regardless of property taxes, this will be huge for SJ and the whole southern province. No one disputes that. Your ramblings are just that.

He's 'special' that way

Ah, but imagine if the Liberals won the next election and were then bound by their own bill to meet the impossible Kyoto targets. Oh, what beautiful irony it would be! That could be the bright side of looking at a liberal election victory, yes..

I'm probably more right of centre and I don't believe in the death penalty. Also, you forgot to mention that the federal justice minister is conservative.. that's right! a real right winger! haha

uhh.. CO2 isn't a pollutant. That makes as much sense as saying that Pt. Lepreau is the provinces biggest single emitter of radiation. Yes, normal citizens.. I don;t see David Suzuki taking time out of his Co2 jihad to rail against raw sewage being dumped in the ocean like so many cities on the East Coast do. And we wonder why the salmon fishery has collapsed? They locate their home river by smell. Hmmm.. raw sewage and smell... coinkydink ya think? uhhh 'flare ups' are just gasoline being burnt. Probably would account for less than 10% of the 'carbon' released in SJ everyday by cars. I call BS that you seen that from Belleisle however. Quite easily actually.. The Kyoto protocol is nowhere in the liberal membership declaration and another thing, the burden of power.

Name me a building where a fully fueled passenger jetliner crashed into it at 500 mph... for pete's sake people - use your heads!

The Irving refinery is the cleanest in NA. It was also the first to produce sulphur free gasoline. California is one of the biggest purchasers of the gasoline refined there for that reason. They have to refine it somwhere and as long as they operate it as cleanly as they do now why would we say no to the economic activity? To do so would be absolutely insane. To say no would be for a socialist reason, not an environmental one. Meanwhile the city of Saint John dumps millions of gallons of untreated sewage into it's harbour everyday and the so-called 'environmentalists' don't say a peep. Why do you suppose that is so? Also, the air quality problems in SJ were never because of the refinery but rather because of the pulp and paper mill. If you have ever lived there you would know that.

The better thread title would be 'Why is baylee such an idiot'? just a thought.

Irrelevant. Does not mean we should as well. People don't come to Canada for a GST rebate.

This is my favourite thread.

Beneficial in what way? It is not possible now that the CPC dumped it all over ago, but we can get close. What are you talking about red? let me get this straight.. you are solely blaming the CPC for Canada not meeting our Kyoto targets? red as in socialist red. The green agenda has been hijacked by socialists. just like feminism has been.

only in yoru dream world. Teh only people pretending here are the people that think it's possible (to say nothing of wether it is even beneficial) to meet our "Kyoto targets" by 2012. It is not possible and the opposition are pretending that it is. btw - support or not of Kyoto has nothing to do with being 'green'. It would be more accurate to say that it has alot more to do with being 'red'.

Most irresponsible and politically loaded legislation to pass in the House in recent memory.

You do know what GST stands for dont you. You pay gst because you receive goods and services . A tourist paying gst receives nothing back. Wtf? that has to be one of THE dumbest things I have ever heard on this board (and that is saying alot.) You ever stop to THINK? GSt is the good and services tax. You pay it on GOODS AND SERVICES - hence the name. If the tourist buys 'goods' or services they have to pay it. They are cancelling the rebate back on it when they leave. Makes perfect sense. They should have to pay like all of us. They use the highways in Canada don't they?

Uh... Didn't Flaherty pay 13 Billion to the debt last year? Yeah, that's what i thought..
