K Oud Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 He has a a lot of good ideas but his presentation feels stunted and awkward. I would definitely bring him on as a policy advisor but i wouldn't vote for him as a leader. at least not if this film is a accurate representation of him. Quote
jbg Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 The wealth imbalance is a good thing. It is a motivator to productivity. Redistribution has never created anything. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
Michael Hardner Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Farmers ? Seniors ? I don't think these issues should be prioritized, nor will they make Randy Ai the candidate of choice. On farmers, he says it's imperative that we help Canadian farming but not why. Free trade means that it's cheaper to make these things overseas, so Randy Ai has to address the wider problem, our free trade agreements. Note that none of the mainstream parties are advocating this type of isolationism. As for seniors, we installed CPP a half a century ago and most of them are doing quite well as a result. As a 22 year old, you would think that Randy Ai might be aware of the problems of youth - especially high university tuition, but I have a hunch that his parents paid his way.

jawapunk Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I think he means but did not explain, that Canada is going to have an increased senior population which will place enormous pressure on the CPP. I for one, do not expect to reap the rewards of this system when I am old, let alone my child. Edited November 22, 2007 by jawapunk Quote Leg room, there is none.

Jawp, We're not in as bad shape as it seems. At least amongst the G8, we are gaining in population growth, and our government programs are supported by taxes and then some. The important thing is for Canadians to continue to talk to each other about our problems. We made some very good moves for our future in the 1990s - placating some high priority issues on the right and the left - thanks to our propensity for dialogue. Let's keep it going.

Healthcare and pharmacare converage will also likely be a lot less than it is today. Quote To fly a plane, you need both a left wing and a right wing.

I for one, do not expect to reap the rewards of this system when I am old, let alone my child. The pension plan was re-worked by Paul Martin years ago. It is now self sufficient and will be around for a long time to come. it will be here. Now get a job and start paying into it.Would be wise for you to have your own saving as well.
