waldo

of course, lost in translation! There is June 6th deadline imposed by the SCOC to have legislation in place to support those persons seeking doctor assisted death. For their own separate designs, both the CPC and NDP have been actively stalling moving required legislation forward... the vote in question yesterday was intended to get over the impasse and put a limit on debate - there's nothing new to be said, that hasn't already been said. It's time for a vote to allow the process to move forward... you know... so the Conservative dominated Senate can shut-er-down (as it/they have done previously for related assisted dying legislation). The NDP charade was blatant in its symbolism if nothing else... and we had the chortling Mulcair egging on his NDP members blocking the Opposition Conservative Whip from proceeding forward to allow the vote process to begin... the Government Liberal Whip Leslie passed by/through and was waiting near the Speaker to begin the process. The wait was on! Captain Liberal proceeded to unblock the NDP blockade... gently escorting the Conservative Whip through the NDP obstacles - would the NDP dare to (also) block the Prime Minister of Canada? Would Tom get Angry? .

c'mon MLW member betsy - you presume to selectively leverage the National Academies of Science for your own design, intelligent or other... while selectively ignoring statement quotations provided to you from the same referenced article. Perhaps you've just missed them; again, your feedback on the following statement taken from your same provided reference is most anticipated: .

probably wanting to extol the positive virtues of MLW member Boges. But that's just a guess.

really? I heard he was a "(municipal) community organizer"... not quite, but sorta like Obama! .

really? Does he work for... Google's ad-services company 'Doubleclick'? .

sorry, time for hockey... please, if the vehement outrage becomes too much for any MLW member, call a friend! 34 posts in record time... bets on the number of posts by the time the waldo returns... probably 4 hours or so. Enjoy! .

countdown to 'how long before Trudeau is asked if he has stopped beating his wife'... in 5, 4, 3...

no - the fire and brimstone is on deck! I mean, really, twas no South Korea or Philippines or Taiwan or Ukraine governments dukin' it out! There was a chance for a real dust-up and Mulcair wimped out! Oh wait... obligatory, I kid, I kid! .

anyone have it in slo-mo... has Don Cherry weighed in yet? .

how many lashes?

ah c'mon sapper - 'Vegas' has had to deal with real elbowing... at the tables! I kid, I kid... .

huh! - can a loud&proud MRA act the 'white knight' here? .

please lawdy... don't let this detract from the Sophie thread! .

bingo - for the thread win!

oh pleeeese! Give it up. Your continuing charade in posturing as an independent voice of reason beggars belief... you presuming to be the arbiter in determining degrees of partisanship is always good for an, "I just can't believe he said that", thought! . no worries - I relish any of your posts where you revert to outright fabrication as the waldo bursts yet another of your unsubstantiated opinions. .

hindsight has its own pitfalls, particularly bias related. Now, I thought to expand on that bias fact given the extent of hindsight arm-chairing experts in this thread... why I even sourced a study abstract, properly linked it and quoted from it's abstract. Imagine my surprise when I see, without receiving any notification, my post has been hidden - imagine that! .

coupled with 'Captain Hindsight'! .

reference highlighted is to past years under Conservative governments... oh wait, there is a tally for 2016 up to March... apparently, there's still unspent monies after 3 months!!! As the reference highlights, the onus is on/should be on, local communities to bring forward eligible proposals - government's can't write them for the communities, hey! as for your "DUH", why that's the exact approach taken by the owners/operators of the tarsands plants themselves - cut surrounding trees/vegetation to provide that buffer zone - is there a problem? It appears, so far, the plants haven't been touched (save, a housing complex for workers). .

still waiting on your number! As mentioned, you saw fit to immediately jump into the thread with your misrepresentation of the linked article; per norm playing up the single American reference within it while ignoring the other dozen or so that referred to Canadian sources. It's what you do, it's what you're all about. I had given you a somewhat benefit of the doubt that perhaps you might actually have cycles to help the OP source his request for "a number"... are you still working on that or will all your energies in this thread remain solely devoted to you playing out your forever agenda in drawing purposeful attention to whenever a MLW member relies upon a U.S. reference? but wait now!!! That reference you took liberties was YOUR's... the reference you provided - the one you apparently scurried around for to find a single internal article American linked reference... while ignoring the other dozen or so Canadian sources mentioned. That was YOU; YOUR provided reference! .

well... you know - "enemies of the state"! Keep on the BogesSpeculationTrain! .

nice Gish Gallop ... fitting that you didn't mention the word subsidy once - you know, that particular point of discussion. Your self-serving interpretation means nothing - I appreciate some here/you prefer to rely on your navel-gazing to craft summations to support your agenda. Others/the waldo, will wait for an actual plan, with actual details and proposed funding/related costs/sustainability facets/etc.. .

you can have it all! Just remember to ensure the qualifications of your domestic staff as they may have to pull 'double-duty' .

yes! Haven't you heard... they're now the "nouveau-chic Conservatives"... and those rumours of Harper coming back to run for Alberta premier of a new Conservative party is also in keeping with the 'chic revival'. You just wait! .

that's fair... you want to see particulars of that demand, those requests. Good on ya for laying down the foundation of your acceptance of the need. Oh wait now, that's already been given, to varying degrees, through an assortment of thread posts and related reference citation. So you're 'good to go' then, right? Good on ya! .

so the interpretation of our resident Conservative party hack is to simply throw out an unsubstantiated 600% increase figure from a gas company spokesperson (one who acknowledges the company has yet to see the plan... or the leak of the (draft/developing) plan)... the key impacted industry in the described plan intent. unlike you in your rush to simply throw down an unsubstantiated increase figure, the diligent waldo actually looked for a reference to offer representative costing; i.e., the Enbridge Gas Savings Calculator. I appreciate you forever detest actual cited references, particularly those that burst your preferred bubbles. you can continue to offer your unsubstantiated opinions - no worries. And what's this, without seeing the plan... without seeing details/particulars on how the plan might presume to pay for, uhhh... subsidies, you're already throwing any subsidy cost back onto the taxpayer... cause nuthin can ever pay for itself, even partially! Of course you are. .
