B. Max

Going back to B. Max's theory that all men are potential rapists, Don't credit me with things that i never said.

delete.

The hillary has be going out of her way lately to try and make it look like she is moving to the right. Obviously it's all been an act. Who will be fooled, not hanoi jane. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/10/5/102624.shtml

Gov't Energy rebates/subsidy Communism or collusion? The latest federl government scheme certainly borders on communisn, however it is another blatant sign that we are over taxed.

Alberta priviatized its retail and wholesale beer and liquor. Best thing that ever happened. Unfortunately like other provinces the government still taxes the hell out of it.

Hiel B. Max, and the Fourth Reich.... Should we build concentration camps too...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No we should have asked them to leave, and take their leftist friends with them.

There are nearly 2 Billion people of Islamic faith on the planet. Because a few hundred of them, lurking in shadows here and there, declare war on "the west", do you think that means that "all Muslims" want to attack "the West"?? Should they all be punished for the actions of a few ??? And a point of order... Islam (and Islamic) are spelled with a capital "I". And then you obviously subscribe to the theory that "all men are potential rapists".... (I guess you didn't understand the references to the armbands....)Out of curiosity... who's included in the group you refer to as "they", and what were the "threats" that "they" should be expelled from Canada for ???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To suggest that there is only a few hundred is not realistic and twice removed from reality. Lets assume there is only a hundred. We've seen how the actions of only a few on 911 punished a couple of thousand, disrupted both our countries changing them probably for ever and cost our economies billions. If it's us or them i choose us. You spell islam however you want, i have no intention of giving any due to something that is fundementaly incompatibale, and is self declared at odds with the founding culture of this country. As far as your rapist theory goes, i subscribe to the theory of comparing apples to apples. Who are they, they are the head of the canadian islamic congress or whatever they call themselves. Who said earlier this year that martin and the government had better leave muslums alone or they wouldn't be able to control their kids. That is a threat and a very serious one. One that is totally out of place but not out of charcter given the type of behavior islamics have been demonstrating around the world in their efforts to create one islamic state after another as their numbers dictate.

Why, so you could spend it on more sievigration. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2005/10...249527-sun.html That money would go to the lumber companies not government tax and spend politicians.

Are all Islamic people terrorists ?? (from reading your text, one would assume so) There are people with dangerous ideas of every race... look at your ideas (above).. Maybe we should make them paint a star on the doors of their houses... and make them wear arm-bands.... Maybe even build work camps for them... I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Canada is at war with nobody at the moment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hate to burst your little socialist one worlder smile be happy bubble, but we are at war, the islamics declared it, people like you just choose to stick their head in the sand and deny it. The problem with that is your butt is sticking up and is ready to be kicked, which it will. The 911 attacks were just as much an attack on US property as they were and an attack on the north american economy. Not all islamics are terrorists but they are all potential terrorists. Earlier this year when they were making threats they should have been asked to leave then. No armbands no camps no paint. Just leave.

This country has been harboring terrorists and has let so many islamics into the country that martin is afraid to be seen doing much of anything in the war against the islamic terrorists. Infact they've already warned him on at least one occasion, and are now threatening to sue over a proposed no fly list of islamics. If they are proposing a list that they are saying will have a thousand names on it who they think are a risk to let on a plane, what in gods names are they doing here in the first place. This country is stuck on stupid and has been for years.

Think you could get them cheaper if they WERE made in Canada? Not on your life! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't say that. However resource industries do buy a lot of stuff that is made in the country. Specialized and non specialized pipe which the oil patch consumes like candy is made in this country. Specialized parts of a wells christmas tree are not made in the country just as huge electronic electrical panels are not made in the country. Just for some examples.

The high dollar does not only hurt manufacturing - it hurts virtually every non-resource sector that creates wealth for Canadians from tourism to software design. In the end, Canada will be much poorer if all the value added high skilled service industries are replaced by blue collar jobs in resource extraction industries - but that is exactly what will happen if current trends continue. Well that's simply not true. What wealth is created by 8.00 dollar an hour tourism jobs as opposed to 20.00 to 35.00 dollar an hour resourse jobs. Those investment dollars that you think would be invested somewhere else if not in resources would be invested out side the country, and software jobs are being shipped overseas. At least resource jobs can't be shipped out of the country. This is a resource country and we need to make the most of what we have. I don't think you have a good understanding of what all goes into the oil patch or other resource industries to make them work. This is where the entire country benefits. The equipment and supplies are endless and encompass just about everything one can imagine. Currently we import a huge amount of manufactured goods from the US where we buy them with a low dollar because they aren't made in this country. The opportunities are there and opportunities mean jobs, but you have know what the customer wants. Those that have are doing fine and will continue to. Nonsense like kyoto and the belief in a free ride or a society of entitlements will make the country poorer.

http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...ol=968350116795 I posted this especially for Max and Monty... I love you guys! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> An article in the TS claiming there is no liberal bias in the media is not exactly reassuring. Both the CBC and the red star are leftwing propoganda machines. Both trot out the likes of doctor fruit fly, a leftist who has been discredited over and over again, but you will never see that on CBC or in the TS.

You have a valid point there, but what about onother point brought out here, namely that .. "marijuana smoke contains about 50% more of certain carcinogens than the same amount of unfiltered tobacco." That's lung cancer city if you ask me! PS - Did you know that, TO THIS DAY, the Canadian government cannot answer a simple question .. "Which of the hunderds of tobacco carcinogens are cancer causing?" Strange, isn't it? PPS - We know that the consumption of crude oil is highest ever, we know that they managed to cut out the lead and lower the amount of some carcinogens spewed into the air we breath .. but I'll be damned that they can't answer a simple question .. "ARE THE LUNG CANCER CAUSING ONES AMONG THEM?" Are they playing some crude joke on us? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's probably because the amounts are so small that it can't even be described as a carcinogen. I suspect they are well aware of what happened in this court case but they are certainly not going to tell anyone. http://www.davehitt.com/facts/epa.html

Most likely you moved here five years ago because the BC ndp parked the economy in BC and bragged about it. At that time economic refugees were floading into alberta from BC because of the green insanity followed by the ndp. I agree with hawk, and while we are at it toss all the treehuggers over board.

Thanks for the warning, i'll make sure to keep my remote handy when watching TV.

Yes. Mmhmm. Thats right. You can file the health effects of tobacco under the same heading as global warming, second hand smoke, a spherical earth, a heliocentric solar system and evolution. Just be glad that your tin foil hat keeps you safe from such nonsense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you come back to earth for a minute and tell us why the government would pass such legislation. Could it be because the tobacco companies weren't going to roll over for them and the government new they couldn't win without stacking the deck. I've looked at some of these studies you refered to and what the government payed anti smoking zelots claim the studies say is simply not true. My guess is that the government was afraid this would all get dragged out in court and expose the entire racket for what it is. A shake down.

The negative effect that smoking has on health The fact that the tobacco companies are literally poisoning people. In fact, not only do they know that theyre posioning people, they still try to pretend otherwise. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Besides that, they would also have to prove they spent the money on the people they said they did. Should be able to prove that one would think, but no, they passed legislation saying they didn't have to prove anything. Why? Could it be like the second hand smoke scam, there is no proof and this is just another shake down.

I frankly don't see the difference with regards to this issue. The case has been proven in literally thousands of studies already. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What has been proven.

From what i heard on a radio interview today, this was not about if the government could sue the tobacco companies, it always could, it was about the government not having to prove its case. They only have make the claim. A decision like this is something you would expect to come out of the old soviet union. In fact, the supreme idiots have thrown out one of the most basic of basics of english law. Socialism on its way to communisn and eventually a totalitarian state, just past another sign post.

The list of grievances is already long and more than enough to warrant secession without any new schemes to steal more money out of the pockets of albertans. http://www.albertaresidentsleague.com/articles2.htm

Leave it to the corrupt demons to go running off at the mouth before anyone has been found guilty of anything.

I wouldn't put much stock in what those two outfits have to say. They are both promoters of big government and the welfare state.

Where does it say that. The policy was to provide each province with the revenue resources to maintain themselves. Which is what alberta is doing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alberta already sends around ten billion dollars a year more than it gets back to the rest of the country. If the east had its way it would take every cent out of alberta, and has shown in the past it could care less about albertans.

Car free day looks a lot like any other day. "I have a Lincoln and I'm proud of it. It's named after the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. I love my country, I love my wife, I love my family and I love my Lincoln." http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...tacodalogin=yes
