Lefty Layton sure likes spending other peoples money on things they themselves would not spend it on, and of course, constitutionally, none of these items are business of the federal government. How about giving it back to those from who it stolen from in the first place so they can do with it as they see fit.

The surplus should be spent on foreign aid, affordable housing, public transit and reducing post-secondary tuition fees, Layton said.

Maybe torontonians are sick of providing the capital that runs this country....well not all of it but a major share and not seeing any return?Well we are sick of them thinking they do. For people who think they are the center of the universe they're not very smart if they get no return on investments. Just what are these investments.
in Parry Sound or Sudbury or from other provinces as they move to this city for sustenance?Maybe TO'ins are sick of having to provide services to the extent no other city has to provide? You dont see many homelessThat's their problem. Alberta had a similar problem a few years ago. Ralph cut em off and gave them a one way bus ticket outa here.
And then to show you really do not understand you bring up the old reliable "call in the army" as arranged by good old Mel. ( As an aside, the army is always called in for disasters , minor and major, natural and man made-floods, earthquakes etc)When you have a major snowstorm and 5+ million people (almost twice your whole province) trying to get to work or conduct business things can get hectic.There was nowhere to put that snow, and I mean nowhere. It also will stall our economy and trade. Toronto's streets are not wide like elsewhere , Montreal, Calgary, Winnipeg and those are small cities in comparison.
Around here we don't consider a snow storm a disaster. We call it winter. There are different ways to handle snow. When they get a big snow in Edmonton they'll put three or four graders behind one another and windrow it up and come along behind with a big snow blower and blow it into the back of dump trucks and haul it away. People have to get to work here also. Many have four wheel drives. Or some people will throw a set of chains on.
We who live in the city understand the amusement when the ROC looks out the front window and sees nothing but land and snow and wonders why they can't just shovel it themselves. But then we forget that the "locals" in those areas aren't bright enough to see the whole picture. Obviously you were one of them .Nah, people here don't shovel, they have blowers or plows.
The 401 highway gets shut down from time to time due to truck rollovers et al, and the business losses are in the millions , and thats for mere hours of downtime. Now magnify that by days and the ROC will be bitching about increased costs.Everything shipped by truck goes thru TO , and the 401 is the premier route.
It may have been a bit over the top , but kudos went to that mayor for getting this city moving and keeping the province running.
We have truck roll overs to, but we also have other roads. Most of our trade is with the US and those trucks never go anywhere near TO. There is some stuff that comes out of the east. But it's not the case that those goods are on such a tight schedule. Anyone who orders or ships that way is a fool.

I intend to buy a couple of houses in Sask, You can get a nice house in that province for about $4000 to $8000.
House prices have been rising in Saskatchewan for over a year now.

No the CIA.
Damn that CIA is good.
-
Not much understanding of the issue huh?
On your part there isn't.
As I said before Toronto is always waiting around for government to do everything for them. Remember when Toronto had their little snow storm and they had to call in the army, to, I guess plow the streets for them. I never really understood that. The army is a fighting machine, they have tanks and artillery but I don't think they have much for snow plows. Anyway, the rest of the country had a pretty good laugh over that one.

Do the math , they continually get screwed.
Ok.
2.7 million sociailists divided by 44 socialist city councillors + 1 socialist mayor x whine - fisical reality = bankruptcy.
Yeah, they're screwed.

All it will take is for one company to announce they are building an oil sands plant and away it will go. Good for them.

Well, we're still waiting on McGuinty to uphold the promise he made last election to start paying for the cost of provincial services that Mike Harris downloaded onto the city. If he did that there would be no budget crisis - end of story.
In Toronto they are always waiting for government to do everything for them.

I suppose that beheading is just fine, a harmless joke isn't.
As long as it's Christians or Jews who are getting their necks chopped. Those English cops are starting to look a lot like jackbooting gestapo.

OTTAWA — Organizers of a peaceful rent a mob at this week's Montebello summit want answers
Looks like the secret is out.
http://www.rightpoint.org/montebello.html
have seen these discussions around the internet on various groups. Stephen Harper is George Bush's sock puppet, you know! There will be a union between the US, Mexico, and Canada. It will be US troops, who will be patrolling Canadian cities. The reason behind this is so that Bush will get cheaper oil from Canada.
Let's see if we can feed some more into the mix.
In an interview with Chom Noamsky, leader of the union of dumpster divers local 601, tells me that there is a secret plan to build a pipeline from Lake Winnipeg to Fargo North Dakota. Said he got his information from someone called Jimmy Hoffa. -
No one, including the most zealous of scientists, has yet been able to show, with any degree of credibility, that global warming has anything to do with carbon emissions.
A very revealing call from Tom Harris. Jones, from the Mann and Jones hockey stick fiasco refuses to release data information. I think governments like Harper's are setting them selves up for huge damage lawsuits with policy based on the fraud of man made global warming. I think such lawsuits should be directed at individuals such as Harper, Dion, Layton and the like for not doing due diligence in the face of overwhelming evidence of fraud.

I doubt if people in Ont. have the bad taste out of their mouth yet from the last time the NDP were in power.
-
Pack up the desks and turn out the lights at the IPCC, it's time for everyone to fall off the man made global warming band wagon.
-
A "staunch conservative"? Hardly. If anything, I am a left-wing extremist, so liberal that I've been banned from Rabble about 12 times.
Maybe kinda like a general Curtis Lemay type liberal.
-
Harper continues to prove that all the political parties in Canada are merely just a degree off from each other. Liberalism is the basic ideology and we see any moves by the Conservatives to use conservatism to steer their ship results in a dip in the polls. So Harper comes back and tries to polish the tarnish off the CPC image and returns to a more liberal approach to governance.
That is incorrect. Harper's drop in the polls is a result of his swing to the left. The income trust lies the global warming nonsense, and pandering to quebec will all do him in in the end.

The guiding principal of the reform party was limited government. Anyone who is old enough to remember, can remember a time in this country when we had limited government. A time when government was something you heard about but never really saw. Especially where it concerned your pay cheque.

This is a really good article, which left me with some hope.
One thing he's got. He is my enemy.

name='old_bold&cold' I really do not think the USA will ever use military might as a tool in this as Russia would be here in the drop of a hat backing Canada up, before you could say boo.
What was I said was hiding under the maple leaf on the liberal flag, in earlier post.

Lets hope they go back and burn the entire den of filth to the ground.

As usual you are on about the wrong thing... I meant the money saved BEFORE the derailment. CN tries to save money by adding too many cars to trains (before they derail!). They attempt to have a larger bottom line by having more cars per train. This directly impacts the safety of the train. Too long a train and it derails.It doesn't change anything. It still costs a lot of money to pick up drerailments. If the trains are to long, I don't know. I'm not an expert on train lenght. If it begins to cost more to pick them up than pull them, they will get shorter if that is the reason.
and how is this antiAmerican? Hmmmmmmm?It's not, it's changing the subject.
-
I understand.
If one does not want private enterprise one is automatically anti American. Ok. Whatever.
CN bought BC Rail and now there are derailments all over the place. Why? Money. Why is money more important than safety? Because CN is a private corporation now. Nothing matters to private enterprise but the bottom line.
That's just plain silly. It costs a lot of money to pick up derailments so your arguement has no basis in reality. Your right though, the bottom line is important otherwise you are out of business. Something lefty government doesn't have to contend with because they just raid the pockets of the wealth creators for more.

What are you on about BMax?
There is a thread about anti-Americanism but this isn't it.
I don't want to see any private corporation in control of our water supply. Whether that corporation be Canadian, American or Chinese.
No I don't want to horde all the water for us Canadians but I do want to make sure the supply is protected. IMO that means keeping it out of the hands of private corporations. If we do enter into an agreement to sell it I would hope that we would make sure our needs our met first.
If you own a farm and use the food to feed yourself, do you sell ALL your produce or do you keep what you need and sell the surplus?
Nice try Drea, but even the Americans here can see what this thread is about.
-
Good point.
Reading through this thread, I can't believe some of the animosity towards the United States for wanting to buy water from Canada. Either sell it to us, or don't, but then don't be angry because we're not buying what you want us to buy. Furthermore, it seems some don't care if Americans go without water as long as Canadians have water. Sounds an awful lot like the I-don't-care-if-others-don't-have-healthcare-as-long-as-I-do attitude.
Peel back the maple leaf on the liberal parties flag and underneath you will find a hammer and sickle.
