White Doors

Army guy, I agree that's it's a tragedy that people would dare voice that opinion seemingly appear in alarming numbers, I disagree that it is a 'typical' Canadian attitude. You must remember that the political leaning of those on a internet message board are not representative of the population as a whole.

wait.. do I really want to dignify this with a response? nah. I'll leave it be.. carry on.

that excuse has been used for years now and it's weaker now than when they first started using it.

Another cultural explanation: In Canada a good % of the population chases for the dream CUPE gov't job while in the states they dream of starting their own business. generaliztion? sure, but that doesn't make it less true.

Incresing the tax rate on investments and dividends is sure to make our society more 'fair' at the same time it makes it poor. We want to encourage people who take risks, not discourage them. Capitalism thrives on entrepreneurs taking risks. If we take back any potential rewards, our economy will sufffer as a whole. Increasing the taxes on dividends and investments is one of the stupidest ideas there are. Even the far left whackos of Europe have figured this one out. Simply put, Entrepreneurs are much more valuable to society than salaried employees. Society's collectivism envy should not hold sway and change this.

1 - Royalties are not a tax. 2 - Didn't suncor just announce a new 20 billion investment in the oilsands the other day?

Don't you get tired of being out-debated, topic after topic, day after day?

Sigh.. ironic that this is the very next post after yours Michael wouldn't you say? A good proportion of the polulation doesn't care what you DO, only care about how you look when you say what you are going to do. They don't give a whit whether you actually do or not.

A conscience? You said that you want Afghanistan to decend into a civil war.. You said that they aren't ready for equal rights and democracy. You were quite smug when you said that we should let them sort themselves out. Where is your conscience again? "Live And Let Die" is not a great moral platitude upon which to rest your smug, juvenile platitudes. It IS however, a great album.

hahahaha!!!

So you are not proud to be Canadian?

Add the almost universally mis-spelled word in the internet age: 'Loose' when they mean to say 'lose'. wtf is up with that?

I was born in Canada through no choice of my own, so therefore would the same thing hold true to be proud of your country?

lol. The one consistency you will find in the lunatic fringe postings is a complete absence of logic and consistency.

The ball mouse and touch pad mouse on laptops. They suck.

Politics aside, you simply MUST enjoy reading Steyn? he's a great writer! ;0

Did you not read the link I posted? Steyn says it himself. SPOON FEED: .

Ok, I wasn't sure where to put this, but this is as good as any. I'm talking everyday type pet peeves people. I'll start us off: Bank machines that dispense the cash before the card. Next!

are you able to go back outside yet or is the sky still falling in your world? lol!

I think overall it was a pretty balanced report and I agree with it. Problem, how are they going to get the helicopters by Feb 2009? Also, The fed lib party must be pretty embarassed about this report that largely mirrors Harpers' Afghan Agenda coming from a prominent liberal? ~wait - that's right, our federal liberals have no shame. So which party is playing politics with the lives of our soldiers again?

ding ding!!

Macleans, Steyn and Ezra could all face a fine if found 'guilty' if the word is not 'charged' then fine, they are being investigated? Why are you people arguing over this? very silly. They are being asked to defend what they wrote in their publications! If you want to dance around that, then fine. carry on. Anyone who believes in freedom of the press shoudl be very worried.

Wrong, they both have.

good move! happy they are not going to be party to this.

Hi My name is Myata and I hate guns and people who own guns. And that's all I really have to say. thanks!!!
