Battletoads

I can't understand the con obsession with a convicted criminal who renounced his citizenship to become british. But hey, if the cons want this man as their spoke person I'd be 100% for it.

Feel free to provide some evidence to back the con claim that 50k is out of line. Seriously. And no, "I think the job is easy" does not count as evidence. Also, now that I look the average income is more around 69K.

Why would you include those without jobs in the calculation of the average salary?

I've yet to see you provide any real evidence. Do provide some... I'll be waiting with baited breath.

Seems stats can supports one of our positions. I'll give you one hint as to which one, it's not yours. Feel free to link me to a real job posting asking the employee to deliver papers door to door at 3am for $12/h. Nothing? Thought so. A few of the 50k employees are cashiers... Exception, not the rule. Not that I expect you mind to be able to comprehend the difference.

http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/famil108a-eng.htm Instead of trying to wingman for your Con chum you ought to do some real research. It's sad some people in this world feel the need to ruin peoples livelihoods.

Median income in Canada is 58K, good to see you can't even research basic facts. Who the fuck is going to be a postie for 20K a year? Yeah let me head on out into some minus 40 weather to scrape in 12 bucks an hour. The fact that you would compare a letter carriers job to that of a cashier shows how laughably stupid your argument is.

Yeah, just think... If the NDP got into power we might crash and burn like those socialist Scandinavian countries!

One has to wonder what you do for a living... and I'd hardly claim that someone making less than 50k a year is being grossly overpaid.

The cons seem most likely to waste time with these 'events'. Just ask Tony "I save a drowning woman" Clement

The Cons are never ones to miss a good photo op.

Bingo. Most Cons are staunchly anti-worker, thus they push for these kinds of changes using their typical weasel language.

By and large it is their fault, hence we should not be shaping trade policy in ways that will benefit them over Canadians,

Easy enough to find

Pretty much, I see no reason why we should be supporting child labour/sweat shops/ect... when these practices are illegal in Canada and most of the 1st world. Why should Canadians and others in the first world be forced to compete with workers in countries with non-existent labour laws? Of course being a conservative you likely see labour laws as something greedy workers see as an entitlement...

Well this is a prime example of a typical Con, many accusations with not a shred of evidence to back them up The funniest part is I'm not a liberal, and I consider most arts degrees/certificates to be worth less than the paper they're are printed on.

When did I indicate that all goods should be Canadian? I have no problem with free trade between modern first world nations.

Do tell, when did the libs announce back to work legislation the day after the full lockout/strike was underway?

Not the same opinion, but the majority of the right's wingers have views not supported in anyway by facts or evidence.

For years it's been "The CBC is wasting out money" Now it's "let's judge their value by their entertainment value" Seriously, you right wing kooks are pathetic.

Canadians should now taking notice of the hardline right wingers they put into power... I wonder how long before the Cons try and pull a 'wisconsin' on unions of all stripes.

Last I checked "anti free trade" and "anti trade" were two different things.

And rural communities would be cut off without any form of postal service. Yeah, brilliant idea.

Well, Canada Post has now locked out some 70+ thousand employees. So it's official, a nation wide postal strike is underway.

The cons are terrified of their nutty social-con base having a real voice, so you can expect mps to stay on a very short leash.
