Mr.Canada

Lets keep it on topic guys please.

How so? I live here you do not. How are you more qualified than me to speak about the town I live in? Also I noticed that you didn't quote the rest of my post because you know it's true. I have lived in many areas of Toronto, Calgary and Montreal. Have you? In TO I lived in Moss PArk, Reagent, Flemington PArk and Scarborough. I have seen the ghetto I know who lives there and what goes on.

We do have some here but they are family based and don't cause trouble. They see things as the rest of us do. The children are not running wild selling drugs in the street. They are under control and raise their children responsibly. It is not the case everywhere I assure you.

I am allowing myself to be sidetracked when I should stay on topic. Immigration should be temporarily curtailed until Canada's economic outlook improves. We as a country can simply no longer afford to support the massive influx of immigrants all the time. Monthly housing, food, utilities and medical bills are putting a massive strain on our system as well as further tearing our social fabric. During this rough economic time we need people who can support themselves and have their own money. Others need not apply until further notice unless the World Bank is going to give Canada funds to support the thousands of refugees we take in every year the store is closed. Every civilized country around the world is facing conomic crisis it simply doesn't make sense to keep funding this while it's Canadians who are in need. We need to look after ourselves first for a change.

I can understand that you don't agree with me on my motivations for not living in a large urban area. However you cannot possibly dictate to me what goes on in Halton Hills and what does not as I live here and you do not. I have real estate here and I'm certain you do not so please don't try to spout nonsense guys, be fair. My wife is half black. If you have the guts we can meet for lunch with your wife someplace and have a discussion. She doesn't see things as divided as I do and it angers her sometimes as she is of mixed race. Why do have a problem with me wanting to raise my family in an area not rife with drugs and prostitution? I'm sorry but I don't want mine around that sort of alternative lifestyle. Perhaps you like living around those things and it works great for you but it's not for me. Guyser, many people here sell privately. If you drive, you're welcome to drive around Halton Hills, if you can afford an auto and see for yourself. Not only that but the sellers are often home when their house is being shown. Additionally the seller is permitted to review the offers tendered. Have you never bought a house? Additionally the suburbs are constantly getting bigger due to white flight and after a few years others follow and expansion begins again. This is how it is, I don't know why that's why I say it'd make for an interesting study. Guyser, aren't you the one who lives near Huntsville? You're community is more homogeneous than mine is, so I don't understand how you're the authority on the subject to begin with. Whereas I have lived in many areas of Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and surrounding areas of each. I have real life experience. Guyser, I never said all caucasian's were moving to the burbs I said a great many are and have been for decades. That is where the term "white flight" came from in the 50's and 60's. The suburbs is where people go to live in peace. Bedroom communities as it were. This name was dubbed because people would commute to the city for work than commute back to sleep.

I was shocked Romney stepped aside. Must have been some sort of one shot deal for McCain.

Now is the time to cut spending not time to borrow to spend more.

Yes indeed. he point is that the Liberals need a good leader who can combine sound fiscal planning with social progressiveness. If they can do that they can win an election. If they continue to slide to the left they won't.

I don't think that your above post has anything to do with an intelligent discussion and is an obvious troll attempt which has been reported. I applaud our PM as sticking it out to lead us through these tough economic times. It's a really hard job and I'm just relieved he has chosen to take up the mantle and lead Canada. He and his brave brand of Conservatism are the shot in the arm that Canada surely needs. Thank God he is leading us. I shudder at the thought of Stephan Dion leading us. He still wouldn't have any plan to deal with this crisis. Mr. Dion stated that he would be taking the first 30 days to bunker down and come up with a plan. I think that the Canadian people deserve better, they overwhelmingly agreed with every region except Quebec giving Stephan Harper and the CPC a majority mandate. From coast to coast to coast they love our PM, the RH Stephan Harper.

I'm not saying it's perfect as it isn't. I too would like too see them use garbage too but they won't for whatever reason. Even if they did it couldn't replace the energy created by one nuke plant.

The same thing would have happened no matter who was in power. It's a world wide slow down. \ Governments are not supposed to be running surpluses, it isn't a corporation. A surplus indicates over taxation and that taxes need to be lowered.

They should have launched a couple ICBMs already. It would have saved many Allied lives.

Native, Arab and Asian gangs yes.

Many people love the Conservatives as well. Citizens of two nations are allowed to speak to each other aren't they? In 2004 the tide was already turning with the Gun Registry, ADscam and of course the merger of the C.A. and the P.C party. It was obvious that the CPC would form the next gov't. I'm sure the Americans just wanted a chance to get to know the next PM of Canada. Hardly a crime or conspiracy.

There aren't any better alternatives to produce the amount of power from 1 nuclear station.

I'll just keep up with the program of making them feel as uncomfortable as they're trying to make me feel. Once in a while some try to come to my neighborhood and they look at houses. I walk up to them and explain in no uncertain terms that this area is off limits. I tell them to go back to Brampton as you're not welcome here. You people aren't turning this area into a ghetto like you did Brampton. That's the key, keeping them under control so they don't turn our cities and towns into ghettos like Regent Park or Jane/Finch etc. People need to have some form of civic responsibility and be proud of their towns and not be over run with criminals and other undesirables. If the government won't help us we need to help ourselves. To send the message that this area isn't going to be turned into a ghetto, we won't stand for it and we're here to stop you. Too many good people are too afraid but this initial fear is nothing compared to the fear that will be felt by the towns seniors, women and children as you sit idly by an do nothing as your town is over run by youths who want to cause trouble and play loud music harassing innocent passerby. Until they graduate into robbery and start selling their drugs to your young people. Turning our children into addicts and in doing so turning them against you, the parents. From there it's just a big downward spiral. All of that could have been avoided if only we had the courage to stand up for what is right and just. To stand up for our old, our young and our women. EDIT - This is just an illustration of how I deal with this problem. IF the government won't limit them then I'll limit them from living around me. That's about all I can do under the current law. That an ensure that me and my neighbors are careful whom they sell to so that we can keep our street and families safe. Again, I'm just sharing my experience. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea and that's cool, just wanted to share what it is that we do out here.

Wee need to slam the door shut for a while but we won't of course as we'll be labeled as racist. That's the buzzword of the day. We are the most tolerant society on the planet. We couldn't be more tolerant if we tried but it's never enough.

Nothing is ever enough for these natives. More and more and more. We must have shelled out a Trillion dollars total. Natives should be living like kings I dont get it.

Nuclear power is the cleanest to produce and only gives of steam as an emission. GP supporters should really rally behind nuclear power. It just makes good sense.

Ah, the tears of the fallen. Don't fret there'll be another election is a few years. I doubt they'll have enough money to fill up the gas tank but that's the rules. I still cannot believe the huge support our PM Stephan Harper received. It was almost like every province outside of Quebec wanted a Torie majority. Canadians really seem to gravitate towards strength in leadership. Awe sorry, the Liberals wouldn't know what that's like.

Yes, that's why I put a comma there. I thought that would have been obvious. The fact that the idea doesn't belong to any particular party does. But, you being in Peterborough, I understand that the water there isn't quite the same.

For once kengs333 says something non partisan, I fully agree with you.

It really speaks to the bad taste that the Liberals still leave in the mouths of Canadians. Especially since Mr. Harper got so much support from coast to coast to coast. Nearly a majority wow!

Funny what a few years of unchecked and wide open immigration can do eh? Go Liberals Go!

What? You're grasping at straws jdobbin. Trying to create a pet boogeyman. Getting desperate now, wow!
