If they were half as concerned about actually governing the country as they were about their propaganda campaigns, they might actually be a passable government. Quote

What kind of message is this sending to Putin?! Changing the 50 dollar bill before its been out for a year and replacing the images with those of the Arctic..and yet stop funding an Arctic research centre which was incredibly cheap to operate... domestic policy fail Edited March 27, 2012 by stopstaaron Quote Don't ban me bro.

Pearl is definitely NOT a northerner, is not suited to be north of Point Pele and should spend some time by herself in the hopes that someone will build a Purl 2, a station that will let the scientists do scientific things rather than having to plumb the depths of Pearl to knit a solid relationship to our severe Canadian winters.

g_bambino Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I guess the Conservatives are going to scare off the Russians by putting the arctic on our 50 dollar bill! Yaawwwwnnnn. The design of the bills changes with every new series. I think people are suspecting far more Cabinet input in the design process than there actually is. Was Mulroney an ornothologist?

stopstaaron Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 Yes they do change but the 50 dollar bill had not even been out for a year before they changed it this was not a series change because the 100 dollar bill hasnt been changed and the 20, 10 & 5 arent even released yet why just the 50?! Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
g_bambino Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) the 50 dollar bill had not even been out for a year before they changed it The last series (the Journey Series) was created in 2001. The $50 note came out in 2004. [ed.: +] Edited March 27, 2012 by g_bambino Quote

[ed.: +] I'm talking about the recent 50 dollar bill, it had womens rights and human rights on it ..was only out for the last 6 months and now they changed the whole design and put an arctic theme to it Quote Don't ban me bro.

g_bambino Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 [T]he recent 50 dollar bill, it had womens rights and human rights on it ..was only out for the last 6 months... No, it was first issued on 17 November 2004. Bank of Canada: Canadian Journey Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 No, it was first issued on 17 November 2004. Bank of Canada: Canadian Journey Oh, I was mistaken, you're right, this whole time I thought the 50 was out already and it was not, that was the 100 dollar..which I had, I mistook that for the 50 in my head, sorry Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
g_bambino Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 [T]hat was the 100 dollar. That's right; the new polymer $100 note came out in November 2011. (Though, I haven't seen one yet.) Quote

stopstaaron Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) This thread is another example of how Harper haters will take the most mundane decision and try and conjure up another controversy. Slow news day I guess. Hey Stopstaaron, there's always Dexter re-runs if you're bored. What do you think I do when I watch my Dexter DVDs? lol Edited March 28, 2012 by stopstaaron Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.

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).
BubberMiley Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Maybe politicizing currency is a bad idea? Is it possible not to? Even the pretty birds are just symbols of radical environmentalism.

Guest Peeves Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Could be worse! Would you like a picture of Libby Davies? Doubt her fat head alone would fit. Anyway I think the move to plastic was a good one. I heard that was mentioned first in The Graduate. Quote
PIK Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Want something to complain about, the last few years the ONT hunting and fishing regs have not had a white male on the cover, only minorities and women. No white male outdoors men In ONT anymore. LOL Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Vendetta Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 I'm just happy to have Emily Murphy off the 50. Now I don't have to deface our currency with the words "racist B#tch" every time I get a 50. Quote
