Since when is cloth non permeable, nor is it seal-able.

ever buy just a bag of cereal it doesn't stand up as well and is more difficult to store. The boxes can be recycled. Same with Crackers. I'm not sure exactly what extra packaging there is on a bag of meat balls or in a dish of lasagna aside from the plastic wrapping you cook it in its packaging.

Some companies over package, and it is done so the end user gets a better product, or because the government has not yet come out with packaging regulation on a specific product and the company is being a good corporate citizen. Yes I ignore inane questions. It isn't worth my time.

What foodstuff is over packaged?

Only crap comes in blister packs, i don't buy them.

They tend to come in large quantity and the boxes get recycled afterward at the store, at least that was the case 15 years ago

How likely is that product to stay around if you can't store it because the bottle won't stand up.

How does that add to the amount of Packaging? Brand A chip bag is the Same size as brand b the amount of graphics doesn't change the bag just the look. If they removed all graphics you would still be left with a chip bag. Same with a box of cereal or a tin of baked beans, or a box of rice, or a bag of flour, ect, ect, ect.

Like what?

you do realize that companies look to minimize cost, and packaging is a cost. If the "excess" wasn't required by either regulation or food safety the companies would not over package, right?

You do realize that much of the food products settle during shipping right?

I think the tin foil hats are getting tighter.

Turn it pink and put Cherry on it.

This can never happen without a constitutional amendment. According to our constitution a Province cannot have less seats in the house of commons then it holds in the senate. You cannot reduce senate seats without a constitutional amendment as there is no mechanism built into our constitution to do it.

The story says the bond has been used to pay the subcontractors.

Oh so clever a response. All Harper has managed is the base level of support of the right in this country 34-37%. Which ironically enough is the same level of support of the pc and reform/alliance added together in the 1993/1997/2001 Chretien majorities. Yep the liberals are some kind of geniuses.

Only because the right vote was weak and divided, and yet barely able to meek out majorities with 41%, 38%, 40% of the vote, ya genius, he handicapped his own party to keep Martin off his back. Yep genius.

He should have they were both liberals, I'll never know why Clark thought he was a tory.

When did SK sink a NK ship in retaliation? since they are conducting in tit for tat according to you? Who started the shelling hmmm. Who is the problem dre, or is it habit for you to come to comfort of dictators and despots? Or is that those sk capitalists fault for waving their success in the nose for the failing north Korean state?

I am surprised with Paul Martin.

Who did they appoint that caucuses with the conservatives?

Why the hell should he appoint non conservatives. when was a non liberal/liberal friendly NDP appointed by a liberal? If you want non conservatives/non centre right senators vote the CPC out of government or better yet reform the senate and vote in the senators you want. A EEE

Gee the story says the company with the lowest bid was picked, and then the contractor went out of business because they did not fix their costs properly, they were loosing to much on the contract.

How exactly is it harpers fault that the senate is almost dead even liberal to tory? Its funny to liberals and lefties moan about the senate when reformers,and alliance members wanted to reform it to a EEE system. Even mulrooney tried to change it only to have trudeau (the idiot) get in the way. Maybe the left of this country are brain dead fools for not taking up senate reform before a deadlock happened. Its funny to watch you whine and moan.....I laugh at you, but if your your looking for real reform why not take up the eee cause many on the right would work with you.

Oh so do you think we should pull out of the UN since you would have us shirk our obligations set out in the UN cease fire.
