And since every member of your governments, federal, state or local, is corrupt, it isn't like they're going to do anything about it either.

Every member? Can you prove that?

By the way, you use to many commas in your sentences.

Yes, I can prove it.

Are you a cheater yourself?

Chairman Mao's salary was 404.80 yuan (or about USD 80 dollars) per month till his death in 1976.

His expense include:

100 yuan for food include meeting visitors.

100 yuan for smoking.

30 yuan for each child.

120 yuan for house renting, hydro cost, water cost, furniture renting,

others for book buying.

If you mean my governments in Canada, I don't know. I know western politicians make money in a smart way that leviligy the laws. For example, if one can make gas price high, some politicians family business can be benefited a lot. That is the way make everyone give money to his family.

And he lived in a palace with hundreds of servants and guards, and was driven around in a chauffeur driven limousine, and all his expenses, including his many mistresses, were paid for by the money he stole from the state.

servants? no, just workers who do their own job and get paid just like Mao worked and get paid. Unless if you like call a sales person in Tim Hortons a servant.

guards, yes, but not as powerful as Harper, and too shy if compare with US presidents.

[Sir Bandelot]

Yes, I can prove it.

I don't believe you can prove it.

I use the exact proper number of commas in my sentences.

You made it a point to pick on someones problems with English. I suggest there are plenty of grammatical errors taking place throughout this forum. The content matters far more.

You might examine the grammatical rules surrounding 'to' and 'too' when you get a moment.

A typo on my part does not make up for bigotry on your part...

Yep, a head of state normally requires all these things.

Anyway your point on 'Google' remains unanswered. As you can see, the normal way that is dealt with around here is too attack the poster.

Google is more and more like CNN and BBC.

For Google, it is easy to do, just put the lies easy to search and truth hard to search. or make its vote algorithm a light factor on the truth it does not like, and put a heavy weight factor to a lie it enjoy.

That is why it keep put things like Fa Lun at the top of search while most Chinese look down upon those liars and impossible to vote it.

Nope. It's usually not even necessary for me to do that. As demonstrated now

In post 104 you call me a bigot, and in post 105 you whine that people attack other posters rather than their arguments.

That's because in Canada, it's allowed to tell the truth about what goes on in politics, in government and in business. Heck, even if something looks suspicious, it's reported in the media.

Have you not learned anything about the country you chose as your new home?

Haven't you noticed that he has learned a lot of things about the country he chose as his new home?

One thing is---it is safe here to criticise politicians, governments, authorities and laws....

Another thing is----his ID will not be canceled by webmaster just because of being a dissenter.

Is this an example of the quality of the Chinese educational system? Your English is appalling and well below the minimal state of literacy needed for you to even begin to communicate your message with any degree of coherence. You need to stop posting here until you learn how to write in the English language.

That's a cheap shot. English isn't his (or her?) first language. I am usually able to decipher the meaning of bjre's posts.

That is not the truth.

As a person from Beijing as you said before, I don't understand why are you blind to a overwhelming criticize government posts in China web forums.

You should be able to google the following sentence:

每个人都知道，从某个时期以来，坐在这个讲台上骂现实，骂这个制度，并不需要勇气，倒能得到国内外的满堂彩。谁敢替这个制度，替这个国家，替这个民族辩护、讲话，那才真需要一点勇气

which means, "you need not courage to criticize against the government (china), you need courage to speak for it", you may have better translation yourself.

I think it is you who don't realize that the criticism has its limits. For example, you may criticize the government, but are not allowed to say a word against Hu Jin Tao himself.

which means, "you need not courage to criticize against the government (china), you need courage to speak for it".

That's true in the West. But you can not deny that they still allow you posting here though you have upset some of them so much.

If you are really from Beijing as you said, you should know most people at most place can talk anyone they like to talk. If you deny this, you are definitely a liar.

That's true in the West. But you can not deny that they still allow you posting here though

In the west, political correctness makes most politicians unable to talk about their real thought, unless they want quit.

you have upset some of them so much.

How do you know that, are you one of the shills of them?
