12 % of farms are under Supply management..... Quotas are purchased from the provinces.....making it hard for new start ups...also making it an environment for big business, not little farms.... Seems that there are many others out there that seem to see the limitations on our SM system.....and that it is limiting our farmers to a smaller market.... Supply management does cost Canadian consumers more....than it brings in...make it harder on lower income families.... Not all farmers support SM....

Canadian music stands for itself, most of the big Canadian artist have signed with American labels....go figure....Canadian movies and TV....majority of Canadians are hooked on American TV and movies....what was the last Canadian movie that was a block buster ?....Most Canadian actors are in Holywood…..again go figure....but hey lets not forget CBC radio.... So what are we protecting again...

Lets not forget that at the beginning of all this NAFTA BS, our government was ready to do the same thing, so we could get the better deal...And why is everyone so hung up on this dairy thing, first of all most of the dairy is in Quebec, second it inflates our dairy costs to the consumer to pay for all of this...How is it that US dairy is so cheap ? do we have more processes to it ? or are we just sub g the industry....Frankly I tired of paying more, for most products because Canadian industry has us by the balls and jacks up the prices...Look at fuel, Dairy, poultry, meat, vehs, clothing....Sure I get it, it means jobs, and money flowing around our nation, but at what point to we stop propping up industries that can not compete with the US...besides Justin already made concession on dairy for the TPP. so why not go further.... And WTF is cultural protections.....we had this discussion on this forum already, what Canadian cultural points do we need to preserve, that the US really want to steal....the secret to our maple syrup, Hockey...oopps already done....Don't sit there and tell me it's CBC radio.....or TV...everyone loves Canadian movie content....or listening to CBC radio on a long drive....Would anybody even miss Canadian movies or the CBC....anyone... the only thing I see worth dying on the NAFTA hill is Chap 19.... I do think Justin could use those points in winning concession from the US to eliminate or reduce all tariffs....including softwood...

Take a trip to Afghanistan and take a look around as see what burnt to the ground looks like.....you don't know how good you got it, until it's gone....

Man has been saying that since we first picked up a club and started beating things to death .. you think it's going to change anytime soon.....maybe that can be Justin's new campaign theme.

I'm sorry Michael I don't have a fancy graph or some documentary to back up anything with facts, shit for that matter I did not even go to university, For what I seen to date I think the majority are liberal minded, or closer to green party lines , very few have conservative values....at least in this part of there lives...And yes I get that opinion from the countless media sources out there from LGBT community, to anti fa movement, to opinions expressed on world events....I do think they are heavily influenced by staff, a lot of students are surrounded by the University 24 and 7 for a long time, and the staff play a good size roll in that.....as well as their friends with short burst of family.... I don't think that's there some evil plan by the liberals to brain wash our youth, I just think during that age most are already coded liberal until they get some world experience....That and in my opinion most teachers are liberal minded as well maybe it's the water....

You don't have to like it....its reality, and it is not going to change anytime soon....

Would you say students in most Canadian universities have liberal values, or conservative values....And are the students politically influenced by staff.

Is that not what has happen it todays Universities, where is the conservative teachers.....where do the students get their liberal ideas from...

You make it sound like collateral damage is a new thing, A thing I just made up.....it has been part of warfare, every where since man learned to pick up a stick and beat things with it.....It is a normal part of any conflict between to nations. Historically more civilians are killed in conflicts than soldiers....It is not going to change any time soon... In normal combat, civilian causalities are avoided where possible, NO WHERE in the Geneva Convention does it say YOU CAN NOT KILL CIVILIANS, IT does say that it should be avoided , wonder what the French civilians in Normandy said on D day when the allied carpet bombed everything they could, I wonder what was said to their families......... ...Unless your talking total war then every thing is free game, nobody was complaining when the US dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan....or fire bombed Germany, how many Germans complained about London when it was bombed. Western cultures have this idea that combat is some sort of surgical operation, where bullets kill only soldiers, soldiers kill only soldiers, and there is some kind of honor on the battle field.. when reality their very few rules...and accidents are common place.....Hard to understand that fact when your life is not under constant danger when every second of the day your mind is on survival , and trying to get back to "YOUR" family .....There is no room for anything else, including the family that is killed by collateral damage, ya it's cold .....it's very tragic...But if there was a definition of Hell...it would be armed conflict...where death is normal and seen almost every day....War sucks, and very few good things are ever born from it.... But do not pin this statement on our soldiers....by saying they are the same as terrorists....Soldiers , regular Canadian citizens do not start wars, they fight and die in them , .....elected officials start wars, they decide who is bad and who is good....point the finger where it belongs....If you think for one second terrorist spill one tear for those poor bastards your mistaken, they thrive on it, pray for it, they use it to their advantage.....

Eyeball knows the difference between the two, he just likes the drama......everyone knows the difference between Collateral Damage and most terrorist actions.....where they intentionally target women and children....

I know many people who will drive to Houlton Maine to pick up dairy products, chicken and turkey, plus a shit tonne of other things , plus they take advantage of the coupons making it even cheaper...... a drive of over 120 KM....is worth the drive....

That's BS and you know it.....Our dollar is dependent on a lot of things , mostly oil, but don't think that this trade deal is not playing with our dollar...because it is....and that failure is all on Justin.....

The above is taken out of the article, and while it does not say with certainty that there are no, NON Muslims living there..... The article does suggest that very thing...Mr Ahmed is managing the selling the homes....and they are marketed exclusively to the Ahmadiyya community....."unless I misunderstood exclusively".....the homes do offer design changes that have their religion in mind....

Does anyone know what concessions Mexico made to the US and vice versa....

Basically that they the UK are our founding fathers for a large part , I mean most of what we have today has been given to us by the UK, our form of government, the basis of our laws , I would even go out on a branch and say, the basis for our values and morals have been shaped by the UK. While some people will have issue with that , I don't see a problem with it. What would Canada look like if we had followed the path of our brothers in the south.... I don't think we could of made it without influence from the UK. the good and bad....

Yes money and oil does drive most of what we do....But the resources that are in Afghanistan are still in the ground too expensive or complicated to exact....NO Pipe lines, no nothing......unless of course you can find a source that states other wise...Opiates, really.....that makes total sense now.....good business sense to spend Bils every month to make what maybe a 10 bil a year....not to mention the bils in losses to equipment and troops....Yes the was a lot of opiates there, but not enough to make it profitable for anyone...

Lots of myths out there, OIL and BIG money in Afghanistan is one of them....next you'll say pipe lines....ya there is none....so what is next....Why did we go to Afghanistan again ?....

I'd much rather live in Canada as well, I'm grateful to be Canadian , but are we better....that's a tough call, not just for me, but look at the all those nations that are standing behind us on this issue.....take a look around, we are by ourselves....OIL and MONEY talk volumes.....Canada knows this better than anyone else just look at the LAV deal....Ask yourself this why did the liberals not cancel that contract.....jobs....and big money

What does it say about our government, that they are amateurs not to mention two faced, they have discussed at great length at how twitter is not a diplomatic tool, they seen how much President Trump has created world level issues while on it..... And yet our MP that is in charge of foreign affairs decided that what harm could it cause ….a simple twit....well lets add up the cost over a bil dollars so far.....peanuts right, I wonder how that blogger is doing , think that tweet did him any favors, think he is any closer to getting out....Did she even think about the consequences before she sent that twitter message.....I think not....and now is she being held reasonable for the cost of this amateur mistake, if she is it is not been made public.... I do know this if I had cost Canada 1 bil dollars while serving in the public service I'd be in cells for a long time...but not if your a liberal. the Budget will balance itself......

What table , the kiddy table.....I see lots of support for Canada in regards to our spat with the Saudis , the lack of other nations standing up for us, is a huge signal.....we have no seat anywhere, not even the kiddy table. so now we have to invent our own table to convince ourselves we are relevant.

Another black mark on the liberals failure to get the job done....have they kept one campaign promise, have they made one major improvement to our nation....other than saying sorry for our problems in our past...

Everyone on this planet pays attention to twitter in one form or another, how many times do we tune in to see what President elect trump has got to say on any topic....Fact is our government has seen countless of times, the problems that Mr trump has created for himself and his party, it's laid out in our media thousands of times to date, so much it is a joke really...So our government who has made a jokes several times about Trumps twitter presence should have known better.....Presidents trumps twitters feed is listened to bvy the entire planet, it has sent shock waves around the globe, effected nations economies, people do pay attention to what world leaders put out there on any media source... I did not think that "I", was better or "our" nation was better in any fashion, I original signed up, to be part of an organization that stood for traditional Canadian morals and values along with a long history of Canadians serving selfishly..... That and the fact our nation has so much to offer other nations , be it financially , plentiful resources , expertise in many areas...sometimes all it takes is a helping hand to bring a nation back from the brink...were not better but rather more fortunate. We should have stood up to the Saudis, but that moment is gone don't you think....I don't blame Trudeau for all our human rights violations, but come on how can we sit back and say we are better than anyone else when we look back at our past and see it has many black marks on it....The liberals ,made a huge mistake taking to twitter, condemning the Saudis while be cozy with every one else with a lot larger human rights issues.... We sold weapons because we love to swim in dollars, we have no values or morals when it comes to dollars....even liberals love dollars....now you know why we give the Saudis a free pass.

According to whom, our native Americans, or maybe it was the boat load of Jews were sent packing down the road to their deaths, maybe the Japanese interment thingy, history is full of examples...that may show we are better or worse than other nations.....WHY would you want to go on to twitter and attack just one nation, what was the point.....to prove that we are better some how. OK so the liberals are dancing around in their tutu's were better than the Saudis.....Big fucking deal....what has all of this shown this nation, Saudis have bigger balls, they slapped the shit out of us and the rest of the world watched, and did nothing.....and then once Justin's band of feel do gooders picked themselves up, they sat there with gapping mouths as the Saudis heap on more and more and they do nothing.....and we wonder why the rest of the world thinks we are weak..

What still remains is the Twit, cost over a Bil in revenue, and what did we get in return, The Saudis bitch slap our nation in front of the world, making our nation looking like some 3 year old because some MP could not control her twitter finger, I mean even my garbage guy knows to stay of twitter, because it is such a great political tool.....Justin did have a chance to take advantage of this whole thing turn the tables on the Saudis plus maybe even gain a ball or two at home.. your right now education is a provincial thing , but other Dept's have offered free education in trade for time served, such as the military, how long would it take to set up a volunteer national medical service where medical staff of all trades or specialties serve in public hospital's across the nation where they are needed.
