There's no maybe about it, that program should be stopped immediately.Do we need to limit the temp worker program ? Maybe we do.
Our unemployment numbers are going up, more and more are under employed, more and more are struggling to make ends meet because wages haven't kept up with the cost of living..
The last thing this country needs is the filthy rich corporate scum bringing in TFW to steal jobs from Canadians so they can increase their profit margins.

Well at least Ralph Klein will have someone to hang out with in hell.
Good riddens to her. As Elvis Costello once wrote: Tramp the dirt down.
On a side note, I downloaded 'Ding Dong the witch is dead' on I-Tunes to help push it up to the top of the charts.
We'll see if the BBC has the stones to play it in their weekly countdown or if they succumb to the pressure of the Thatcher elitests.

I'd hate to think where we'd be today if not for them...And now we know who and what saved Canada economy in the first place. The opposition.
Given that those two economic idiots, Harper and Flaherty couldn't see the the looming recession that everyone else knew was already happening.
Dumb AND dumber those two...

Ya the Canadian economy is just chugging along...
OTTAWA - Canada's economy nudged forward a disappointing 0.1 per cent in May, falling well back of analyst expectations for a robust advance prior to the anticipated summer slowdown.May's number released Tuesday left April's 0.3 per cent expansion as the only stellar month for the economy so far this year.
Economists had expected a more robust showing of 0.2 per cent, and some even 0.3 per cent, given previous indicators that suggested retail sales, manufacturing and wholesale trade would all contribute to growth.
Retail sales did perform strongly, rising 0.7 per cent after a slightly larger decline in April, while wholesale trade edged up 0.1 per cent, the sixth consecutive advance.
But manufacturing fell by 0.5 per cent, mainly as a result of lower production of machinery, computer and electronic products and primary metals. Construction was also down, by 0.2 per cent, a further sign of the slowdown in the residential housing market.
As well, transportation and warehousing services declined 0.5 per cent, although that was largely attributed to a decline in rail services due to the late May strike at Canadian Pacific Railway.
"All told, this sets the second quarter on track for no better than two per cent growth, and will lead to downward revisions in the consensus for the (second) quarter," said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist with CIBC World Markets.

You know, I'm fairly certain you and the late Dr. Josef Mengele would have been close friends with your shared views...Why? They're criminals. Plant a GPS bug so we know where they are at all times. Then if a crime occurs we can check back and see 'ah ha!" it was you! Sounds good to me.

Did you report yourself too ?Says the guy collecting welfare.

These people are moving the private property of DND employees and members. There really isn't a security consideration involved there other than the normal one -- i.e., theft.
let me remind you of what you said earlier...
but working with badasses is one thing inviting them into your home with your family there to do some work or provide a service is another. -
Could you please take the time out of your busy day of pedophilia to provide a cite to where I have ever claimed to be collecting welfare.Says the guy collecting welfare.

I do it to all the contractors that i've hired, and guess what I've NEVER HAD ONE REFUSE Yet, I've asked them to change those workers out and NOT once did they refuse. And if they are insulted tough shit, I'm sorry but my families safety overrides some hurt feelings.
And i've worked along side some winners before, i'm sure they'd make your criminals look like chior boys, but then again i was armed, and had the training to deal with them. but working with badasses is one thing inviting them into your home with your family there to do some work or provide a service is another.
:lol: You ever had DND move you when you were transferred?
I know for a fact that up until 2 years ago none of those movers had a background check done.
There's at least one major van lines who does the bulk of all dnd moves who only started insisting on background checks for all labour this year and that's been spotty at best because they can't find enough manpower to keep up with the work.

I believe you hit the nail on the head here wyly, those in the military do lead sheltered lives. They really do think they're somehow better or more deserving than others and the country in it's misguided views have enabled them by giving them 'hero' status.have you ever had a real job? do you have any idea how the world works outside the sheltered life in the military?...it seems to be a reoccurring theme here on the forum lately...

And he deserves it with the gross and willful misconduct that has been carried out against him.he may leave but not until he's completed his multimillion dollar lawsuit...and seeing as every court decision regarding his treatment by the government has gone his way it's a good bet there's huge payout coming his way...
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/canada-must-bring-khadr-home-without-further-delay/article4439079/?cmpid=rss1Contrary to the decade of political indifference, a staggering number of Canadian court rulings have gone in Mr. Khadr’s favour. The Federal Court has sided with him four times, the Federal Court of Appeal twice. Most notably, the Supreme Court of Canada has, on two occasions, concluded that Canada has violated his rights. The second of those judgments was rendered in January, 2010, but more than two years later, the government has failed to provide a remedy for the violations.The courts have always grasped the concerns at the centre of this case. Numerous UN human-rights experts have also urged Canada to protect Mr. Khadr’s rights, including the UN Committee Against Torture just last month. All have been ignored.
Other governments have lived up to their side of similar plea deals. The Sudanese government accepted the return of one of its nationals from Guantanamo earlier this month. The U.S. wants detainees to believe that plea deals mean something and must be particularly frustrated that a close ally like Canada continues to stall.
But it shouldn’t take a court order, UN criticism or U.S. pressure. Canada should simply do the right thing.

Let's hope not.So are you saying that Ben Harper will follow his father's footsteps? I think this fall he's off to university.
Most likely another Harper would turn out to be the same as Bush 41 and Bush 43....dumb and dumber.
At least Ben Mulroney had the smarts to stay away from politics with his old man being hated by so many.
-
Except he wasn't fighting against Canada...Double Jeopardy?
Is he serving time in Guantanamo Bay for Treason?
The act of picking up a weapon or building an IED and fighting against Canada is treason.
Something you're conveniently overlooking I'm sure.

Still posting insults I see....You can huff and puff all you want, but this is way out of your league... go play with your dolls and let the adults discuss here. You base your argument on feelings, then you accuse others of doing so, and cry and whine that their arguments are invalid when they don't agree with you... go get hug and a tissue, wipe your tears and run along now.

Harper Conservatives lose another battle...
The Federal Court is letting a challenge proceed regarding the 2011 election results in seven ridings across the country.A group of voters, backed by the Council of Canadians, wants the court to overturn the results because of allegations of misleading phone calls that attempted to send voters to the wrong polling stations.
Overturning the results would mean a byelection in each riding.
The seven Conservative MPs who won those seats had asked the court to dismiss the case before it went to a full hearing.
Prothonotary Martha Milczynski heard the case on June 25. In her ruling, she says the applications to dismiss the election results raise serious issues about the integrity of the democratic process.
The applications identify practices that, “if proven, point to a campaign of activities that would seek to deny eligible voters their right to vote,” Milczynski said.
A prothonotary is a full judicial officer who has many of the powers and functions of Federal Court judges. Prothonotaries handle case management, mediation and practice motions.

Wrong, all three were personal insults posted by you.Two of them are facts, one is an opinion.
Despite your self-denial and obvious ignoring of the moderators repeated requests that you cease from doing so.

Signals, the savings you claim will be made are based on the idea that someone will stay with the civil service for 30 or more years when in fact, many won't.
Again...This is nothing short of the Harper government using this as a means to bribe the same folks who's jobs they have threatened to cut. Or a means of intimidation so the workers fall in line with the government message...
You can spin this to justify it all you want but at the end of the day it's been shown that these jackasses cannot manage money with the way they pissed away the surplus and failed to see the recession everyone knew was happening... they have absolutely no business tossing even more money out the window to pay people off based more of Flaherty style math....

The Conservatives acts of having committed Election fraud and ostensibly rigging elections still trumps some folks not having paid off their debts to run for party leader.

Did you also take note of the 3 of yours which he posted....Yeah just read it again, serves my right to be on here while in class...
Well????

I can see why you'd want this to be a non-issue considering that you're defending the neo-cons who:You do realize that is due to the scrapping of the severance pay? Last year when the public service union voted on a new contract they decided to give up the severance pay, this means that instead of waiting till a person retires to give them severance they offer it in the present and stop the severance program. From now on there is no more severance pay. Until now I believe severance was 7 days of pay for every year worked and once you retire they give you the sum. The Conservatives are not adding anything they are in fact cutting this program which was started I believe a few decades ago and thats why they are paying it out at once so they can end the program.
This is a non issue because they are blaming the Conservatives for paying out a program that another government started many years ago, accumulation for severance ended last march I believe which means that the conservatives are saving a lot of money in future severance pay to all employees of the federal government. If you only knew as much as you THINK you know this wouldn't be so embarrassing for you.
1 - threaten public servants with layoffs
2 - offer buy out options to public servants who have been in fear of loosing jobs
3 - increase the public attitude that public servants are greedy and lazy bums
4 - make departments performing public service inefficient
5 - make departments performing gov. over sight ineffective
6 - increase public scepticism about the public service being a waste of money
7 - increase the deficit - thru severance pay buy outs
8 - create the perception that all government, public service and unions is bad
9 - sweep in with privatization to save the day and increase profits for their friends.
And again, toss even money to their friends pet projects (super jails) while crying poor and professing the need for more austerity measures...

So you approve of the "I see nothing", Sgt. Shultz, stick your head in the sand approach then...The first rule for a leader is to not panic and remain calm. Of course, you're in a constant state of panic so I understand why you would want our leaders to run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Fero too remained calm....too busy fiddling while Rome burned....
But he was pissing money away before the crash, which he denied was happening...something you're kind of conveniently forgettingThere are times when money in a savings account does no good. For example, when the market crashed in 2008, using savings to buy stocks at rock bottom prices was a smart move, just like your nemesis Harper suggested. -
How would they have helped when Harper denied it was coming????And you refuse to understand that those actions might have helped...
By your logic, if it helped it was not due to anything the Harper government intentionally was proactive in doing to prepare Canada for the recession it was already in...

Yes absolutely stopped. Why? Because it serves CANADIANS no purpose other than to drag our wages down. The only ones who benefit from that program are those who take the money and run, leaving Canadian taxpayers to fill the void.
Ya, and open discussion means what? Another 5-10 yrs of this bs program while some rigged study panel looks into the 'merits' of it while they're being paid off by the corporate filth who already benefit from it? That type of open discussion?
