Boozing to forget has a long long history of making things worse. Better to join the Foreign Legion

From the Coast Guards "Radio Aids to Marine Navigation" (my italics of text) RAMN 2012 - Pacific and Western Arctic It should be no surprise that Lunney refers to the station as Tofino

I love Bladerunner

Wait a minit...If Ferrari is paying 18000/yr they would do much much better to pay 10000/year! Imagine the profits! the Share values! The bonuses! To hell with 10000/yr they would do even better paying 5k/year! And the part time employees would be thrilled with continuous employment! Fletch is on to something: The less people make - the better off everyone is!

But those benefits were negotiated with the unions. The company has access to all sorts of beancounters. If the benefits and wages were killing the company why then did they agree to any wage above $18,000 per year?

So wage increases are fine then.

Wow, The Unions actually negotiated a wage increase. Go C.A.W.! Don't lose heart!

Of course. What does your crystal ball say? Mine says things will go wrong from the getgo.

of course not. Why would it?

No need to borrow, you have your own. .

post stating the obvious removed

I think English Canadians and Charest are completely out of touch with the mood in Quebec. The assembly laws have sunk Charest. English Canadians loved Trudeau's war-measures act too!

Nope. the one does not follow the other. you forget that you and I are the ones who were not bred for intelligence. I know of no way to determine genetic intelligence. Your theory is based on humans breeding animals to achieve desired traits and I know of no animal that was bred for intelligence. In the dog world mutts generally appear more intelligent than pure-breds Its best, I think, to just leave things alone considering that we have no idea what we would be meddling with

I doubt it. Restricting the gene pool is generally not a good idea. It confines the population to a particular niche with less chance of surviving a change to the niche thus thwarts Darwin. But the deeper question is whats wrong with having dumb people around and breeding?

Improve how? More pleasant to look at? More eye-candy at work? What kind of circle-jerk society are you pining for? We're all healthy and smart and good lookin to boot and those others aren't?

Many would. Sparta has the mythology attached to it of the home of 'real-men' to the modern 'society has gone soft' crowd. It never occurs to them that 'soft society' is the successfull one. Apparently becuase of its collective brains to thwart Darwin - and thats just wrong! Softies should be eradicated.

Darwin is thwarted everytime somebody buys a pair of spectacles; gets admitted to a hospital; uses an inhaler; gets rescued from a burning building etc etc

Its being debated at this very moment. I'm surprised you havn't noticed. and nobody said 'yes' and nobody said 'no'. Permission not required.

I think it sucks as a definition. I'm Canadian and had nothing whatsoever to do with Gander nfld 911

the line I quoted exactly

And yet the conservative party - having cried that very line for years in opposition - actually demanded the Libs send you to Iraq and were 100% in full support that the forces be engaged in combat ops in both Iraq and Afghanistan!

Has the Quebec government changed its plans?

Interesting premise; University students are generally stupid and have learned nothing. This is proven by your inability to pass university economics exams.

certainly makes a mockery of albertans sensibility thats for sure

yes, it seems university is only of value if its paid for and the government will make sure the poor never pay for it!
