LOL, PoliticalCitizen should really ponder what you have stated. However, the G-G has not been doing her job. If there was ever a time for political oversight on Canada's actions by the G-G, now is the time. Canada's political parties are not to be trusted. If Canada is not careful some political party is scheming out new schemes along the lines of 407etr in Ontario. A total screw over to the Ontario and Canadian people by guess who the Conservative!!

Your right about trudeau because he paved the way for the cultural destruction of Canada with his Charter of Rights and 1982 Constitution. Canada was better off under the English Common Law of Precedents. Because I worked in Toronto through the nineties, a period in which Canada was under immense economic pressure because of what mulroney did to Canada's National Debt. He left Canada in a financial mess. The immigrants of those days were from other Commonwealth countries and refugess from where Canada had peacekeeping operations. The immigrants of today are economic migrants here to take whatever job they can find. Name one other Country that has put the interests of Foreign workers over its own citizezens?? Canada is 34 million. At the moment Canada is creating 20000 full time jobs a month. That is not even 1 percent of Canada's population. Canada has an unemployment rate about 6%. So how is it, of the jobs that are being created, they should be going to Foreign workers over Canadians? Well, this particular office boasted it had revenues of 50 million and a profit of 15 million. The department I was in was a cost of doing business. It had to be done. The work I did could be reallocated to other offices or outsourced. Which is ultimatley what this prick began to pursue. Well, I will say this prick is not with the company anymore, but he was there long enough to eff me out my job. You ought to define skilled. Because the so called skilled prick that pushed me out of my $50000 dollar job has cost the Canadian Taxpayers about $40000 in lost tax revenues I would have paid including the employment insurance I collected. Way to go conservative on managing the economy. I wonder how many other people the conservative effed out of their jobs. I will say I am a College Graduate of a particular program. This job directly related to my College Program. This income is was well within lines and reasonable of a College graduate gainfully employed in my program. Buddy, I can't say you think. Canada is creating 20000 jobs at the moment. Canada has an unemployment rate of 6%. Do the math. You can't have your cake and eat it. It's called supply and demand. The supply of Full Time jobs does not match the demand of the 6% unemployed. For the jobs that are out there if you are competing with foreigners on Work permits and alike with so called skills they will eagerly accept whatever it is they get. What they do is drive down wages and displace Canadians from what little employment opportunites there are. Really, it is obvious the conservative have no understanding of economics.

Please tell us what country you came from so we can have a better idea of what delusions you stem from? You strike me as some peaseant from a third world country who has stumbled into Canada's way of life. The US does alot more?? Really? Throwing people out of work in Ontario and moving their factories and offices to other Countries. The only reason Canada is afloat is because of its resources/natural wealth. This is not because of the United States. The United States has been out to eff Canada at every turn. Thanks to Harper Canada is a resource economy. Thanks to Mulroney, Canada is a cultural wasteland.

hmm, what it means to be conservative?? Oh, in 1980 the National Debt was 120 Billion. The Mulroney Conservative pushed it up over 500 Billion and left office with a 40 Billion dollar deficit. Canada is Broke and has no money so the Liberals balances the books and brings Canada's debt down to 400 Billion. The Harper Conservatives comes into office squanders the surplus and is driving Canada into deficit. The Conservatives are about tax cuts for the corporations and pandering to employers by making it easy for employer to give away employment opportunities to foreigners on work permits and displacing Native Canadians from their Jobs. Oh, I speak from first Hand experience. I worked for a multinational corporation. The office I was at brought in a smuck on a work permit and he was made manager over my department and the budget for my department. Because the department wasn't making money he looked to save money by eliminating my job. I went from making 50000 in full time employment to 20000 in temporary employment. As I try to find full time employment I have found myself competing with foreign workers and immigrants for every job out there. These immigrants and foreign workers have a low standard of living so they will accept less. Corporations are greedy and they will go with whoever costs them the least. The Conservative have created a job market where the job seeker has no leverage and opportunities to develop evolving skills and get paid for what they do. The conservative have made Canada into a low wage resource economy. The conservatives have made it so corporations are able to bypass Canadian job seekers by claiming they can't find the skills within Canada. After which they are able to begin recruiting abroad to fill their employment openings. Once these recruited workers are here the conservatives have paved the way for them to become permanent residents. With this, they are entitled to vote and take advantage of anything Canada has to offer. If you want a party who will happily pave the way for multinational companies to boot you out of your employment, take away employment opportunites away from Canadians, and drive the country to bankruptcy the Conservatives is your party.

Wow, [Censored out]. Fact Quebec/Canada was lost during the seven year war in Europe. France was blocked from sending reinforcements to defend the colony. France in fact tried. As such Canada fell under British Occupation. A mere 20 years years later France financed and provided the military might which brought about the creation of The United States of F'cking America. It is documented the Canadians (not the so called modern canadian parasites) fought alongside the Americans in their fight for Independence. In a final move to liberate Canada from British Occupation the Marquise Lafayette of France spearheaded a final campaign in 1779 - 1780 to free Canada. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. France's financing of the American Independence led to Collapse of France and rise of Napoleon who wreaked havoc on Europe for 30 years. Napolean crushed and collapsed the acien regime of Europe. It took 200 years for Europe to finally come together as one nation in year 2000. This has all come about no thanks to the United States. The fact is Quebec is Canada. The Fact is those of Quebec are the original Canadians. The modern parasite Canadians are the joke of the world. When the British Occupied India, did they try to call themselves East Indian? When the British occupied Hong Kong, did they call themselves Chinese? How about the Americans in their occupation of Iraq? Are they now going to call themselves Iraqi? So how is it, the British Occupiers are now trying to assume themselves as Canadian? Amazing. The fact is the world is moving along. Canada's lone wolf status is outdated and Canada does in fact belong to the Queen of England and it is her possession as is all the other nations within the commonwealth. If the queen should decide to assert her authority on Canada, there will be nothing for Canada to do but take it up with the International Court of Justice. As the queen has deferred all disputes between her and her colonies since 1970 to the International Court of Justice. Gee, I wonder how a European Court would think and opinion on this matter?? Would there be a bias perhaps?? It would be interesting where the dissenters would get their support to remove the Queen from Canada. There will be no help from Britain on that, and those of Quebec will want what is rightfully theirs, an independent and Free Quebec/Canada from modern parasite Canada. If the British are willing to step aside, I am sure France will move in to protect what is quebec's. You can count on it. If this should happen don't expect the United States to help you parasites.

PoliticalCitizen you are totally clueless and miss the point. Canada, the political parties, and the supreme court does not have a history of listening or doing the will of the people. If that is the history why would Canada change now? Besides good luck getting the people in Canada to agree on anything. As for your hate of the Queen, you better learn to love her because you have pledged your allegiance to her. I suggest you look the word up. As it is, you have sold your soul to the devil. For what gain?

Isn't this current plight of Canada?

Yes actually, the corporations cried they can't find enough cheap workers, eh hem I mean skilled.

A better idea is how about you and all like minded immigrants go back to whence you came from.

Canadien is that you?

Gee, I wonder who you can thank for that? Rhetorical of course. Good of you to provide the queen link to help educate the demented.

Where's Canadien's two cents? Canada's dementia and the delusional continue to be the dog that chases its tail thinking it will catch it. Fact. King George abdicted the throne to the British Parliament dureing World War II. At that point the monarchy became irrelevant period. Fact. In 1970's the queen deferred all matters concerning the queen to the International Court of Justice. You have an issue with the Queen take it up with the court. Fact. That queen c""nt beoch and the liberal scum and supreme court imposed the 1982 constitution and the charter of Rights on Canada without a democratic vote from the Canadian people. Fact. Canada's political and bureacratic trash have used this constitution to erode and destroy the fabric of Canada. They have used this as a basis to drive Canada into a demographic and cultural immolation. Canada's population has balloned since the 1982 Constituion through economic migrants and other countries reject losers. Canada is not the dysfunctional country it once was. It is now a f'cked up country. Fact. Canada's legal framework lives and is tied in with the British statues and laws. Because the bureacratic and political trash imposed a constitution and charter on the people of Canada without a vote has opened the pandora's box and in fact affirmed the queen's sovereingty over Canada by this move. Through the abdiction of king George the British parliaments holds power over the monarch. Through Canada's insult on democracy with the 1982 constitution affirmed the queen's sovereingty over Canada. What is stopping the Queen and the British parliament from repealing all the laws in Britain that makes Canada and independent Nation? Sovereingty is often attributed with your ability to defend it. Canada's military is a joke and its constitution is not much of one. For the most part has a dysfunctional government and political structure. Canada is more about trough feeding bureacrats and politicians than about driving and creating an innovative country.

I can tell you are clueless idiot. Were the afghan's able to manage themselves under the taliban? How about the cuban's under fidel castrol? How about the population fringes of India and China? India and China have a pool of labour to exploit and these workers get little compensation for their efforts. These products find themselves on the shelves of Walmart and other stores. Businesseses in North America can no longer afford to have a conscious because exploitation is the new way of business. Who's fault is that?? The political and bureacratic trash at the helm of North America's economy. Governments control the rules. The US has 90% of the world's military resources at their fingertips. They have a congress and political structure in place to impose the government will on society and businesses if they so choose. All is lost when the governments around the world becomes corrupt and they will not maintain the rule of law. That is essentially what has happened. Governments have allowed businesses to defraud the public and wipe out the wealth of many, and break laws along the way. Instead of providing a bailout package, governments should be indicting and sending people to prison for their actions/Or provide the bailout package then start indicting people and sending them to prison.

She's a crack or meth addict. Really, societies anywhere should adopt a profit approach to petty crime. If someone does something they are not suppose to do, ie drugs and prostitution, fine them. If they can't pay the fine, community service work. Won't do the community service work, they are sent to labour camps to work off their debts. In this day and age of the debauched and the corrupt, there is no sense restraining or resticting someone from anything by fear of arrest because they are bent on doing it anyway. Some have criminal records as long as their arm. Another arrest to these people, means nothing. You want to deter someone from doing something, make them realize its going to cost them money and hard labour. The fact is, those who sell drugs or sex are out to make a buck. Take this money away from them through progressive fines they will be clued into pursueing a different line of work.

It's to bad he couldn't have been added to the 1.2 million iraqies to make it 1,200,001. At least in the face of high gas prices I would have reason to smile.

If the US and Canada for that matter wanted to influence exchange rates they could. Back in the eighties and nineties Canada had a monetary fund used to buy and sell the Canadian dollar to reflect where they wanted the dollar. In recent years, the politicians do nothing to influence the value of the dollar. What it comes down to is what the government wants to do. In current years, not much. With the credit crisis and the unjustified run up in real estates values over the years demonstates the clueless wonders pupeteering the economies of North America. Wall street and Bay street is effectively fired. They have demonstated they can't manage themselves out of a wet paper bag and are in need of Government intervention. The US has been driven to insolvency and Canada has been driven to a resource economy by the Bay street banking sector losers. What has to be realized is Canada is a naturally wealthy Country. What makes Canada wealthy is a small population and vasts amounts of land and resources. Relatively, the US is also wealthy, as they have alot of natural resources to draw upon if they should ever decide to shut their borders to the world and become a closed economy. The problem with Americans and Canadians is that they are lazy and a corrupt lot. The media trumpets "work" as demeaning and something to be ashamed of? With media like that, who needs enemies? Unfortunately for Europe they are getting the natural gas and other energy resoures from Russia. It appears Russia is resorting back to its old self more and more. Not good for the future of world peace. From what is stated in this thread Europe is a restrictive economy. Canada is in a position to help Europe with its energy requirments and alleviate its dependence on Russia. Canada has a historical problem of converting raw resources into finished goods. Signing a Trade agreement with Europe will go a long way in helping Canada overcome its mental challenges and historical heritage problems. In the new world financial dynamic a trade agreement between Canada and Europe would be good and would somewhat weaken the strangling grip the US has on Canada.

So you are admitting prostitution spreads disease but if regulated by the government it will be safe. Perhaps. Really, a man should not be held hostage to ingrained desires pushed on them by the media, television, and their peers. Pop culture and society in general is sex-centric with the attitude you can look but can't touch. Sex is a distracting force and I believe is counter productive to ones ambition and focus on accomplishment. As for drugs, cocaine and heroin used to be legal in the united states back in 1800's around the time of abe lincoln. These drugs were sold through the classifieds of newspapers and other publications. These drugs were marketed as a cure all of every ailment under the sun. In recent times I guess what was made illegal was ephedrin which I think is speed. The real question is why were these drugs made illegal in the first place? Pharmaceutacles is big business and they are represented by strong lobyists. These drugs could be viewed by them as competition to their drugs and they will resist any move to legalize those drugs. As for Marijuana and Hash, whynot legalize it, its in the same came as alcohol. Marijauna is a plant which is good and should not be illegal. As for LSD, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, crack, and the list is long here requires processing and chemical labs. Without oversight, how can the quality be trusted? As for those who use these drugs, they are mentally and emotionally f'cked after use. What politician in their right mind would make access to these drugs more accessible when they wreak such havoc on the person?Politicians are suppose to be looking out for the productive and safe well being of the country. These drugs are counter productive. Those involved in the selling of drugs other than marijuana and hash ought to be fined rather than criminalized. Repeat offenders get stiffer fines to the point of jail if they don't get the point. The governement should shift away from criminalizing prostitution and drugs to fines. This way the country can make money and save on court costs.

I don't believe Harper on this. I believe he is vote pandering.

hmm, someone with few posts posturing themselves as mapleleafweb alumni. I suggest you write to the admin to change your forum status from noob to expert being that you have a read on every member of this Forum with so little posts. Truely Amazing. Anyhow, I didn't say I didn't like Asian Immigrants. What I am saying is they are use to living in cramped substandard conditions. They have a history of exploiting each other and being repressed. I can understand if you are an asian atheist and a bit disgruntled. Canada is not the Americans, we did not drop the bomb on Horishima, ok!! Go cry on an American Forum. My point with Asian Immigrants is they strive for a lower standard of living and will accept less because of it. In they doing this drives down wages and quality of life in General for Canada. So if you are asian, ask for a raise, get your worth, got it donkey? For as long as the Corporate pigs know they have a pool of people to exploit they will keep at it and keep paying very little.

Wow, with people like you no wonder Canada is Resource Welfare Country.

I am not defending the liberals because they really haven't done much to make Canada into a "power" so to speak either. The liberals have done just as much as the conservative in turning Canada into a resource welfare economy. What is Harper's claim to fame?? He bought some helicopters or something from the US for more than a billion dollars. All Canadians get out of it is some service/maintenance work. Where's the assembly/construction jobs, the real work!!?? So harper has just given away a Billion dollars for what and to whose benefit? At least Trudeau and Chretian had the right attitude towards the US: The one finger Salute. The US can go f'ck themselves. With the US credit Crisis, the likes of enron and worldcom, and how Canadians are being held hostage to high gas prices because of American Oil Refiners is not evidence enough the Americans are out to eff everyone around them; I am not sure what more the world needs to see. The smart people recognizes bush is the biggest jackass/turkey to be president in US history. He has single handely brought the US to the brink of an economic collapse. We don't need a Harper led Conservative Government who sees bush as a hero and wants to give Canada's money to the US. We need politician's to tell the American to go eff themselves or deal with Canada on the level. That means a part in the design/engineering, assembly/Contruction, and service/maintenance of all military and space equipment. This is not happening. Until this is happening all Canadas military spending should be directed towards Research and Developement! Once the R&D is complete, Canada can move to the assembly/construction phase. In the interim Canada should return the military to Canada's traditional role of peace keeping, That's it. Canada's politician's need to get serious about Canada and safeguarding Canada's money.

Are you on Crack?? Until Canada can tie its own shoelaces Canada will always be a joke. To be a power is take raw resources and convert it into a tank, a helicopter, aircrafts of sorts, and the list goes on. Once you are in the game your end product will always be compared with what is coming out of other countries. The fact is Canada can't even design and build cars which is or was supposedly the engine of Ontario. If Ontario is about cars, where's the brand?? Britain has the mini cooper and the range rover. What does Canada have? For as long we have stupid politicians, Canada will always be a joke. The liberals are a lot of things but the conservatives have done more to wreck Canada than any political party in history. For starters, if Canada is serious about becoming a "power" Canada could at least start assembling, building, and maintaining its own military equipment instead of donating Canada's resource welfare money to the US for their equipment. Any jackass can take money, go into another country and buy a tank, a jet fighter, and any other military equipment that is out there. Doing this is not power. All it demonstrates you are inept and to stupid to construct this equipment yourself. Not really, Canadians fault we have short sited stupid politicians that are to eager to give Canada's money to the US and other countries.

Europe has its roots steming from the Collapse of the Roman Empire. The rise of Europe and European history is the emulation of God and the Bible. Out of this, a democratic United States was Established/born. A democratic United States came at a cost, old Europe Collapsed and Napolean waged war and wreaked havoc on Europe for 30 years. Europe Struggled for 200 years until year 2000 when the democratic European Union was Established. Canada's history is tied to both Europe and the United States. What's your point buddy?

No, all of them. Asian history is wrought with tyrannies and abuse. The fact is, the Asian hierarchy does not value their people. They see their people as something to exploit. Of course, the US Corporation has exploited this area to the extreme by setting up manufacturing operations in these countries and taking advantage of cheap labour costs. Once upon a time the US Corporation manufactured their own goods in the US and Canada but somewhere along the line they decided it was to costly to employ American and Canadian workers so they shipped their manufacuring operations to China, Malaysia, India, and countless other countries to only import these same products back into the United States and Canada for resale. The US corporation has done so well exploiting these countries labour costs they have now found a way to import these asian workers to the United States and Canada to further exploit low labour costs. I am not sure what bubble you live in, been to Walmart lately? Any store for that matter? Look at where the stuff is manufactured and made. With what is going on in the United States and their credit crisis and government bailouts it's not a mystery to see the United States brought this upon themselves. Canada is fortunate it has resource revenues to prop it up else it would be dragged down by the United States. What I have stated is quite accurate.

That is the way it should be across the board. Why the F'ck should some OTHER country reject losers come here and gain employment over a Canadian. They couldn't cut the mustard wherever they came from so they come here and are all to happy to be exploited by greedy North American Employers. The fact is the North American employer doesn't want to pay or share in the success of their business. Their drive is to exploit and drive down costs to maximize profits and bonuses for themselves. Greedy is what Greedy does. The so called modern immigrants is just to happy to have a job so they accept substandard pay and substandard conditions. The immigrants from WWII to the eighties were European in Origin. The European Immigrants pursued quality of life. The immigrants from the 90's till now are asian in Origin. Asian workers and families are used to substandard living and working conditions. An Asian Family will buy a home in Toronto and share that home with 3 or 4 other families. They are used to those kind of conditions. You will not see a European or North American Family do that. I applaud the Asian values toward family. However, for the most part the North American Baby Boomer trash do not share these values. They are a selfish lot. The sooner the world is expunged of these Lazy, selfish Baby Boomer trash (soon to be pond scum) Generations, the sooner the world can move on and recover from the trauma they inflicted with their dementia and delusional outlook on life. If I don't have a chance to say Good Ridance to the Boomer Trash, I say it now. GOOD RIDANCE.
