Battletoads

And here I thought one of the roles of the Government was not to incure rampant debt. Well you sure told me. (Sarcasm)

Gee I donno

Economic Policy by Republican Party of America Stephen Harper 1: Cut Taxes 2: Increase Spending 3: ????? 4: Balanced Books (Profit!) Makes perfect sense right?

One can hope not, it would be 4 regressive, and expensive years for Canada.

Harpers been living off the successes of past governments for some time, looks like that strategy is starting to collapse. I'd hope for an elction but every other leader seems almost as incompetent as Harper... almost.

I see, so what you're saying is the government is compeletly trustworthy?

I see, I am crazy to think politicians, known as the most honorable and honest people in society, would malipulate things to get their way.

Mostly b.

Last I checked 51%+ is a majority and thus controls the company. Oh and It`s funny how it was doing just fine till the pro-privatization PCs got elected. Well not really funny considering the huge economic loss sask suffered because some people were too blind to look past their ideology.

Thats great, 49% =/= Candian owned or controlled.

You just need to develop the skill of precognition, then it's easy to get past the cement wall boss.

51%+ of its investors are non-Canadian. Seems that would preclude the idea that it's Canadian owned.

No need for words, your argument defeats itself. If the Potash Corp of Saskatchewan was still a public entity potash would not magically sell for less and the corperation would not be 'somehow' less valuable. In fact the only real differance would be an important resource and revenue stream would still be Canadian owned...

Where can I buy what you're smoking? Its got to be some very strong stuff.

Oh, a UN treaty, well we better not break that. The consequences would be dire As a British Columbian I can tell you anyone against the legalization of pot is either: a: A Criminal b: An Idiot

The Privatization of the sask's potash crown corp was a huge mistake, sold by the province for 630 million in the late 80ies, and worth well over 40 billion now. That's not including revenues lost to private non-canadian intrests either. Air Canada is still a terirble airline, that would have died long ago had the feds not intervened countless times. I don't see how being obligated to keeping the airline from crashing and burning while it pays out to private interests is good for Canadians. You only have to look at the sale of bc rail to see the difference between a well managed public rail way and a privately managed rail way. Hell all you need to do is look at BC to see that these claims that hocking crown/public corperations will be good for the public are complete and utter bullshit. And I would have thought it would be abundantly clear that I was talking about the selling off of well managed crown corperations, so I'll say it again and more clearly. Well managed public corperations which provide essential/important services will be far cheaper for Canadians in the long run.

Nevermind they do have oil. Still, it's not as if Canada is in any desperate need of oil right now.

Seems it usually ends up costing Canadians more when businesses go from public to private.

Heres a simple proof: The CBC is not as right wing and Fox "News" therefore they are a bunch of rabid foaming at the mouth communists. Q.E.D. I bet you would be able to predict intelligence based off of whether of not people believe in a black and white political spectrum.

So they are sorry they rightly labled a terrorist group as a terrorist group. Grow a fucking spine for christ's sakes.

Seem to imply that the conservatives trust american troops over our own...

How many of them are from field in no way related to climate research?

Nothing new here, corperations come first for the Conservative party.

Why should I care if the prime minister can sing half decently, is he running for Canadian idol?

A private sector healthcare solutions to fight rising costs? Now there's an oxymoron. The best hope for the Canadian Medicare system is to vote out those who opposes the system and want it to fail (see conservatives).
