I am not surprised that those on the left hate the TFSA but i think its great . My wife and i have already decided it is perfect for us and will put $ 90 a week each into an account which will allow us to pretty much max out on the plan . Kudos to the Conservatives for doing something for the middle class .

You mean Mr Hope and Change is really Mr Same Old Bull Shit ?

And Jehovah's Witnesses , those guys are even polite when i yell at them to get away from my door .

You seem unable to respond to what i have posted but i have will respond to what you have said since i have read his platform . I f you notice he always fails to say HOW he will do anything . http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ I see a lot of hope /change and change /hope but little else . How would someone who has NEVER reached accross party lines do it after he was president ? What would you say Mr Obamas biggest accomplishment so far in the senate in the last 3 years be ? Please respond to the links i have provided if you can .

Obama is the most vapid canidate to come down the pike in quite sometime . His mantra of hope and change , change and hope may carry him through the primaries but will not cut it in the general election . Heres a story that broke yesterday http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories Heres some lies he told that he will have to explain at some point http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/255488.php

As long as we are denoucing stereo types let me put another one to rest . My next door neighbor is a higher up in the Hells Angels here in Ontario . He has no facial hair and does not wear leather of any type except when he rides his bike on weekends in the summer . When you see him monday to friday he is more likely to be wearing a Armani suit and is always clean shaven . My neighbor is quiet and he and his wife tend to keep to themselves but are always polite when you see them around . This is an up market waterfront neighborhood with zero crime and unless you knew who my neighbor is you would think he is just one of the many professionals that live here.

LOL worldnetdaily is sort of a National Inquire it seems , first time i have been there but it does have some good stories like this one.... WorldNetDaily Exclusive Top shrink concludes liberals clinically nuts Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder --WND

It would seem common sence and reason presented by Dancer , Wilbur and others has done little to alleviate the paranoia of Un-American Woman , Kudzu and their ilk . I doubt pointing out that Canadian and American soldiers worked cheek by jowell for over 4 decades in the Canadian arctic on the dew line would make them put their tin foil hats away either . I would ask why Jack Layton and his wife Tokyo Rose who hate all things American and all things military have had nothing to say on this topic ?

quote name='American Woman' date='Feb 23 2008, 06:06 AM' post='293941'] And you have the gall to talk about other's "ignorance." again. The misuse of the word Democratic to refer to the Democrat party is perhaps the most common fopah in political discussions . On the Sunday talk shows i must have heard it a half dozen times by the likes of Russert and other political wags . If that is all you could find in what i posted to correct your grasping at straws . Returning to the discussion i doubt Obamamania will with stand the scrutiny it is sure to have in the general election . Repeating hope change , change hope over and over will only take you so far thus his impact on Canada will be nil.

I see why you have been duped into believing the global warming myth , you have very limited reading comprehension skills . Milloy correctly points out that it is agenda or outcome driven science , thus it isnt really science . Rather then buy into science put forth by a divinity school grad like Al Gore who will not debate anyone you may want to see what the father of climatology has to say . http://ecomythsmith.blogspot.com/2007/05/t...eid-bryson.html

First i am a Canadian but i have lived in America off and on for almost 17 years . Superdelagates are very much a tool of the left (democrats) who have about 800 of them compared to the right (republicans) who have just over a 100 of them . I do see the reason for superdelagates in numbers such as the republicans have them , just over two per state but not as the democrats have them controlling over 20 % of the vote . I would agree with you that the way the democratic party uses them it does seem less then democratic , but that is nothing new for the left. The electoral college is not a gang but a provision set down by the founding fathers for several reasons . The main ones were to assure the small states would not be dictated to by the large ones and someone running for president would never consider the issues of the smaller states if he only needed the votes of the larger states to be elected. The other main reason is to create a fire wall if you will , to stop a king or tyrant who may try to dupe the people in direct elections . For a better explanation you would need to read the Federalist Papers and what Hamilton had to say on this . Your premise that Americans dont vote in numbers they should because of things such as the electoral college or superdelagates rings hollow since Canadians and Americans voted in almost the exact same numbers in 2004 about 61 % . There are many factors for low voter turn out but none you seem to grasp . Computer voting in 2004 was only used in about 25 % of the vote , and about 70 % of them were non VVAPT { voter verified audit paper trail } I am not a fan of these and believe you will see a change in this practice in the near future . The American system does have flaws but compared to Canada where the electorate has no say in picking the party leaders and no direct vote for the leader of the country i think it is far superior . May i suggest you better educate yourself on the workings of the American system before running off at the mouth making statements that only make you look follish .

Link ?

You must wear a helmet to take the motocycle licence test so Mr Badesha obviously did take off his turban at that time . It would seem Mr Badesha religious objections to helmets are some what of a recent epiphany

Given the ignorance of her other statements why would i assume that ?

Your acquisition of massive amounts of American electoral knowledge must be relative to starting with out any. The rules and regulations governing the november election have everything to do with the outcome such as whether or not the canidates chose to run with federal funds or private contributions . I will not go into the many other regulatory variables since you are having trouble even grasping the concepts of the caucus and primary systems but you should know most Americans will pull a lever or push a button and not mark an X in november .

I have always been troubled by seizure of private property by the police with out due process . These laws would seem to be contrary to the charter of rights but i am unaware of any challanges to them . There is also the fact that if i am speeding in excess of 50 km or driving impaired in the car i own the police can confiscate it but if i am doing the same thing in the truck i lease they cant.

Feel free to read more then one sentence quotes that would never disuade you from your pre conceived opinion.

My mistake i did make the assumption that some postings were from Six Nations residents .

Sources for my previous post United Way Toronto (poverty by postal code) Jane-Finch.com Jamaicans.com Jane and Finch Wikipedia Canadian immigration reform blog

Both schools mentioned are in the Jane / Finch corridor which is not Torontos only cesspool nieghborhood but it is its biggest cesspool over taking Cabbagetown many years ago . Jane / Finch for those that are unaware has one of the largest concentration of public housing aka welfare recipients . Here are some Jane/ Finch facts . The north side of J/F is controlled by the Crips gang and the southside is controlled by the Bloods J/F has the largest concentration of criminals of any area in Canada 40% of all black Canadians live in Toronto 61% of those live in the J/F corridor (Rexdale) 81 % of all J/F residents describe them selves as black or of black mixed race 75.2 % of all house holds in J/F are single parent . A single mother with 2 children in J./F receives $ 19000 a year in govenment payments Many people consider J/F an African Canadian neighborhood but this is not true since over 70% are from the Carribbean , Jamaicans are the largest group comprising 40 % of its residents . 62% of all Jamaican/Canadian women and 70% of Jamaican/Canadian men are unemployed (2005) I point these facts out because if you are going to solve the problem you must know what and who you are dealing with . I dont have the solution to the problems in the schools in Toronto but it is very clear where the problem is . * I found this part of the article puzzling to say the lest . "At C.W. Jefferys, almost 20 per cent of female students said they had been the victims of sexual assault, the report said. One of the most shocking side effects of the panel's investigation over the past few months was the discovery of the alleged sexual assault of a female Muslim student at C.W. Jefferys. The final report sheds more light on the incident, which took place in October, 2006." Why was it "shocking" that a female "Muslim" student was sexualy assaulted when in the previous sentence it was stated that 20% of females at the school had been sexualy assaulted ?

I went back and read all 11 pages of this thread but i now relize that i could have stopped reading after the first page or two and missed very little of the gist of this thread . I have several conections to this situation and have been to Caladonia to see for myself what is going on . First my family is very involved in motorsports and we particapated in the friday night racing that takes place at Oshweken Speedway on the Six Nations reserve . That was before all hell broke loose out there and it was made clear on three sperate ocassions by natives that we were not welcome there anymore . I would estimate that over the course of a racing season my family and race team spent around 6k to 8k on the Six Nations reserve during 2006 . In 2007 we travelled to the track only once as spectators and spent about 100 dollars on the reserve . I was sympathetic to the natives until they smashed the side window out of our hauler , spit on my daughter and verabally assaulted my family , these being 3 seperate events during the 2006 season . I know this is not how all natives feel and it is not all natives doing this but it was enough to make our race teams and several others quit attending the races at Oshweken . The Styres family who own the track (natives) are very nice people and tried to persuade us and others not to leave the track but i felt that i must consider the safety of my team and family first and formost. It is a shame that a thriving native business like Oshweken Speedway now has low car counts and low weekly spectator attendance because of the actions of a few idiots . I must say after reading the comments by some of the people from the Six Nations on here i see we made the right decision in not returning to race there any more . Congrats to the natives who destroyed my property and assaulted my family you managed not only too turn people that were on your side or atlest sympathetic to your cause dead against you not to mention drive 1000s of dollars out of your reserve .

quote name='FTA Lawyer' date='Jan 9 2008, 10:56 PM' post='285040'] .... your post is missing any attempt to answer why Bush would need to do away with habeas corpus applications... FTA As a lawyer you should know that an American president has no power to do away with habeas and that the Combat Status Review Tribunal and the Detainee Treatment Act was passed by the Democratic controlled congress . In June of 2004 in the case of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld the US Supreme court found that the prisoners could be deemed “enemy combatants” and held indefinitely so long as they received some minimum of “due process.” Congress had the power to strip the Guantanamo prisoners of habeas rights because there was no precedent in the 220 years of American law or, for that matter, in the five centuries of the English empire in which habeas was granted to an alien in a territory that was not under the sovereign control of either the United States or England. One very important thing that is missing from this thread is mention of Chris Speer by name the 28 yr old medic that Omar Khadr murdered . A few days prior to his being murdered by Khadr Chris rescued two small Afgan children who were injured after straying into a mine field by walking into the mine field at great risk to himself . By all accounts Chris was someone his family and country could be very proud of unlike Omar Khadr .
