  1. Happy Birthday Alberta and many many more.
  2. It seems everytime a worker gets sick at an oil refinery, the price of oil goes up by a $1.50. Oil prices will come down. My dad has the theory that someone is profiteering because there has been more than enough oil coming to the world, yet we are pricing high prices. But that's my dad.
  3. Communication isn't the problem, it's just that Bush and the Republicans are too stupid and stubborn to realize that we are right. They are too protectionist and should take it like a man.
  4. Let me ask you this, Did the Trudeau government drive up government debt during his 17 years of office?
  5. I don't think it's the surpluses are bad, it's the way the Liberals get them. They always underestimate the surplus, so when the budget comes around, they have a surprise bigger surplus. They always say theat they are almost out of money in the piggybank, but they are clearly not. That's whats wrong with the Liberals.
  6. I think that cellphone should be banned for drivers. Other people in the care can use cellphones but not the driver. The driver has a job to do. Cellphones will distract them even more. You're 4 times as more likely to crash while talking on a cellphone.
  7. If Agnew hadn't resigned, Nixon could have used him as a weapon during the Watergate thing. Nixon could have said "Do you want Spiro Agnew to become President?". Most democrats hated Agnew's guts.
  8. I say Jim Dinning will be next prime minister of Alberta. Morton's too the rookie, like a mini Reagen.
  9. Conservatives are not spooky black hearted accountants who have a secret agenda. We care about health care, but we think there is need to reform the system. There is certainly money going to waaste in some areas of health care that need to be changed. Conservatives are about choices, like letting people chose if they want to pay for their healthcare.
  10. The Mulroney government spent more on health care than Paul Martin did in his budgets. Private schools are not for rich people only, they are for smarter kids who are restricted by the public school system.
  11. I think we as a country are too obessed with health care. All we hear is health care and the problems with it on the news. The provincial governments pay over 40% of their budget in health care. We picked Tommy Douglas, the father of medicare, as the greatest canadian. We need to stop feeding the monster and starting paying attention to other things. Like education. In Ontario, we spend 6 dollars in health care for every one dollar in education. Whats the point of having good health care if we're not smart enough to give health care to people? We need more money in public education. But we should also have private schools so parents can have the choice. The tax credit for private schools is a good idea.
  12. We will never get rid of discrimination in society. We can minimize it, but we can't get rid of it. Look at Toronto's police force.
  13. I think that no person should give more than 45% of their income to both governments.
  14. The LCBO is wine and spirits. You can buy beer at the beer store.
  15. The most hated majority government. Interesting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even more hated than Trudeau's majority government of 1980-1984? Even more hated than Rae's majority government of 1990-1995?
  16. The Iraq occupation needs time before we leave.
  17. Plus, if we privitize the LCBO, we will be kicking people off inflated salaries. Captialism will work in this case, if the LCBO goes private.
  18. They should also look at Bill Richardson. Edwards would be a good candidate second time round.
  19. Look at Alberta and the success that came with privitizing the ALCB. There are more stores available to the public, they are open longer hours, and there are selection of wine and spirits available to the public than when the ALCB was ever public.
  20. We should privitize the LCBO. It's better for the whole Ontario. The report that came out a few days ago agreed. We would generate even more money in revenue from privitization. The proof that selling the LCBO is better for us in Alberta.
