The efforts for global interests of Capital aren't new. What is relatively new in the past two decades has been the acceptance and deregulating efforts to allow greater Capital freedom in the Global economy. Regardless, I won't dispute your above comments, although there is a similarity with the mindset of the public during the great depression. The biggest surprise being that when war broke out, the government found plenty of money and plenty of ways to fight the war. After the war, those monies, were spread around to prop up foreign governments in Japan and Germany as well as create the Welfare States of The United States, Canada and Europe. With regards to multiple parties in the political process, this is nothing new to Canadian Politics, and it is people who have never looked back into Canadian History that somehow believe that 5 parties is alot and that it is the first time in History. Just going back a decade.... BQ, NDP, LPC, Progressive Conservatives, Reform, .... Thats five..

THere is many times in our history with over 4 parties in parliment. Quite Frankly we had more then 4 parties in parliment when the Liberals were winning back to back to back majorities. This is not a new era.. but some want us to believe that it is...

That poll is so indifferent, so utterly useless, so boring, .... I wonder why someone bothered to release it.

You're damn right. While they shouldn't be scared, they should be concerned and informed about the risks of using online services. Banking's data security crisis During the past year, banks have lost more of their customers' personal data than ever before By Andy Greenberg, ForbesNovember 26, 2008 Identity Theft Continues Upward ClimbPosted on 22 July 2009 By Brady Delander, METRO NORTH NEWSPAPERS The first time was a hassle. The second time Chris and Carey Chapin had their identities stolen was more than frustrating. The Northglenn couple keeps a watchful eye on their finances, but some unknown people had other plans about what to do with the Chapin’s money. That included two charges totaling $2,450 at an athletic store while the husband and wife were vacationing in Mexico. “Discover Card called us to confirm some charges that we put on the card in Mexico, which we had,” Chris Chapin, 45, said Monday. “Then they said two $1,228 payments went through back-to-back at some college athletic store. I told them that wasn’t us.” That was the second time in a little more than a month that the Chapins had fallen victim to what Colorado Attorney General John Suthers called the fastest-growing crime in America. In early June, a debit card belonging to the Chapins was used to purchase $300 in goods from a store in Aurora, mere minutes after Chris Chapin had used the same card for a purchase in Northglenn. Are College Students Putting Their Parents at Risk for Identity Theft? Survey uncovers student behaviors that could threaten parents' financial security OAK BROOK, Ill., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- College students are indifferent when it comes to their personal security. That's among the findings of a new Campus Security Survey(1) of 1,000 college students which found most co-eds routinely turn a blind eye to a variety of common-sense safety precautions.

... $1608....Ouch.. No thanks,

I haven't felt this bad since having to concur with Guyser... Argus hits a home run and doesn't miss the infant mortality rates in the US ...

I have 3 friends within the last three weeks diagnosed with various forms of cancer. These guys don't go to hospitals or ever believe they are sick. Its sad that all are in their mid to late 40s and 2 smoke and one doesn't. Regardless, there was no wait time for any of them. They have been taken in immediately and yes the situation is critical for all three. Each time I was shocked at how fast this has occurred, and how quickly they have been in for chemo and surgeries and for one, how soon he was released afterwards and continues to go for treatment. Yet these guys are far from out of the woods. Personally I am gutted, and I don't want to lose some of my friends and former coworkers. Ones in Cambridge, the other two are in Hamilton. They are receiving great care. Sadly the moment my one friend explained to Toyota that he wouldn't be available for work and the reason why he was going into hospital, they terminated his employment immediately.

You are comparing two public insurance systems against one another. You can compare BC to Manitoba or Sask and will have similar results. Also the reason for Belair asking to have their rates adjusted lower was because they had priced themselves out, although only marginally and that minor adjustment is mere bookkeeping. Quebec based insurance companies in Ontario, are some of the highest rates and take full advantage of the private system in Ontario. If you deregulate Auto Insurance in BC, the result will be like other Provinces and the rates will go even higher. Perhaps that is because we MUST have insurance.

I hear yah!!! drives me crazy. ICBC forces you to take extra coverage, or shall I say provides extra coverage whether you want it or not. Quebec keeps it on the cheap. In Ontario, its not unusual for someone to pay $2,000 for auto insurance and have minimum coverage, no collision, no theft etc. Its a ripoff. Insurance must be affordable. For years, however, BC had the lowest insurance rates and when there is more money taken in then claims, you get rebates. I heard BC insurance rates have climbed during the Campbell administration. meanwhile in Ontario If they don't make money on Auto, you would think the insurance companies would be happy to dump this money loser...

I can't disagree with your comments. THey are on the head. Unfortuneately the "Left" is the one putting forth similar arguments to yours and the right is dismissing them. You have made a logical valid argument. Get the "Right" engaged or up to your speed.

Much like the 90s Recession, insurance companies increase their rates when revenues from investments decline. Guyser actually commented earlier this year, that the rate increase was coming. He's probably on a yatch holidaying in various ports of call.

My friends who did many tours said they outgunned everyone in the region. They had the more modern equipment, not the Communist Serbs, or the various other factions on all sides. Other then that trifle analogy, I agree with your reply.,

LOL... Change the word left wing to right wing, and change the topic from Gay Activist to Conservative activist, and interchange all the bolded type. Regardless, there seems to be enough Conservative Gays, Liberal Gays, BQ and NDP gays to go around. I bet you think they are running around having free sex across party lines....

Larger Provinces tend to have higer rates. A Province like Nova Scotia should have pretty low insurance rates like in Sask or Manitoba. My own personal preference is that the benefit not be abused, people have to cover those costs as a collective and rates will go up. The other thing is that no one should be screwed over because of an accident or have insurance priced out of the range of a lower middle class income. My other pet peeve is when someone receives two speeding tickets, one at 15 km over and the other at 29 km over the limit and finds themselves with a $6,000 premium even though they have never once cost the insurance company a penny in over 20years. Insurance companies are the most protected business next to the banks. Few people have this luxury to print money.

We could deport the Conservatives...

I have no idea why the Right justifies the elimination of manufacturing jobs while doing SFA about the environment. Its hard to figure out why they exists when the problems of the manufacturing sector are occurring while the "right" is in power. The same is true regarding the environment. The Right continues to ignore the environment. The Right has managed to come up with the LOSE LOSE proposition. An easy task while on the BBQ circuit and the world stage. Nothing like being petty at every chance. Don't problem solve, just make cheap shots and get a scape goat. This is just a bad government, with a bad leader, during a bad economic recession. However, when one considers that the Environment and ISO 14000 standards that many companies set out to achieve are undermined by the Conservative drive to globalization and bigger profits of Global Corporations, we can alway blame the left for each new coal plant in China, and the 45,000 employees who are killed making consumer goods just so that we can get a toaster oven for $9.99 There is plently of hypocrisy to go around... but the Right loves to blame the left and continue to let unregulated markets fix the problem. Good luck with that....

The irony of the "Republicans for Ignatieff" is that the site could have been called... "Ignatieff for Republicans"

Public auto insurance From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Publics auto insurance is a government owned and operated system of automobile insurance operated in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec. According to studies by the Consumers' Association of Canada, rates charged for auto insurance in these four provinces are lower than in provinces that use a private auto insurance system

.... the good ole days....

If only they were so clever.... Ignatieffs own words... those videos, are polarizing.

Since Guysers gone into hiding... I am all ears.. Please tell me how insurance works.

So thats why Guysers gone into hiding..... Guyser Guyser Guyser Where are you? ....

No... his solution to paying the costs for a Nuclear Generator is to get the Federal Government to share the burden. Regardless, it is the tax payer that is paying for this albatross.
