wyly Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 Oooooo.... Our crazy democratic system must be broke... Did anyone save the receipt? Where can I return my "democracy"? I sure hope the line is short...... Alot of people seem to be returning thief "mulcairs" too..... Go cry in your anti-democratic pool with the rest of the bottom feeding Koi.... hey ya wanna brag about all your incredible credentials again? ....39.5% is center Quote “Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”- John Stuart Mill
The_Squid Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 No, ezra reported it first and nailed the CBC to the wall... They were forced to by real investigative reporting. Free and clear of motives. The CBC would not have reported this without Ezra's scoop... What did Levant write first? Read the quote.... "The CBC said the video was an exclusive. But it actually wasn’t. Because the CBC called the military police to come watch the video at the CBC offices." Levant says it is not an exclusive because they played it for military police. That doesn't even make sense, and neither does your post. Quote
Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 ya 60.5% wanted anything BUT! the harper and the cpc. ..math wasn't your best subject was it I think you have the problem with Math. A larger percentage didn't want the Liberals. A larger percentage didn't want the NDP. A larger percentage didn't want the Green Party. Each one of them had a larger percentage of Canadians say no to them than said no to the Conservatives. Quote
Fletch 27 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 Yes, 40 percent is over 5 parties.... Very simple math...... VERY simple.... Quote
Fletch 27 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 I protest your democracy cuz mine didn't work! Oye vey....... Quote
CPCFTW Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 According to wyly's math, no Canadian government in modern history has ever occupied the centre. Not a surprising comment coming from a borederline commie. If only we had a centrist government like Putin and Castro and the other communist dictators with 90% of the "vote". Quote
CPCFTW Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 ya 60.5% wanted anything BUT! the harper and the cpc. ..math wasn't your best subject was it You forgot the people who didn't vote... Did you lose your commie talking points? It's more like 80% of the electorate clearly wanted anything but Harper and think he's a baby-eating monster.. Because if they didn't cast a vote for him that's the only reasonable conclusion. Quote

Fletch 27 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 So you agree with democracy now as it's history? Ahhhhhhhhh yes... Your a good comrade Quote
CPCFTW Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) not only do our right wingers suck at math they suck at history as well...dief had 53% of popular vote reaching center and Mulroney hit 50% Here's a history lesson for you: no harper has a majority because of the FPTP electoral system ..an understanding of the simplest sort of math shows 39% of the popular is not capturing any part of the center other the extreme right of center...capturing center would mean the cpc has 60-70% of the popular vote and they are no where close to that... You must really suck at history if you can't remember what you posted less than an hour ago! Edited November 14, 2012 by CPCFTW Quote

westguy Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 on the contrary, the CBC is bery secretive about how they spend OUR tax dllars Quote
cybercoma Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 on the contrary, the CBC is bery secretive about how they spend OUR tax dllars Not any more secretive than how CTV, Global, or SUN spend our tax dollars. Quote
CPCFTW Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 Not any more secretive than how CTV, Global, or SUN spend our tax dollars. Pretty sure those companies pay taxes, they don't spend tax dollars. Care to offer an explanation of this new talking point? Quote
guyser Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 Pretty sure those companies pay taxes, they don't spend tax dollars. Care to offer an explanation of this new talking point? CBC pays taxes too ! Did you think otherwise? Quote
CPCFTW Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 CBC pays taxes too ! Did you think otherwise? Really? That would require that they make a profit... if they're profitable, why are we giving them a billion dollars? Here's what their financial statements say: As a federal Crown Corporation that receives a substantial portion of its funding from the Government of Canada, the Corporation operates within a specific operating structure to match cash expenses with available resources, and to break even over the long term. The Corporation draws and uses appropriations only to the extent required to fund its operating expenses, and may not borrow to fund working capital shortfalls. Therefore, the Corporation does not expect to generate material taxable income or losses in the periods that temporary differences are scheduled to reverse. Accordingly, the expected deferred tax asset or liability is not recognized in the financial statements as long as these specified operating conditions are met at the end of the reporting period. Try again? Quote
dre Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 When they bring in Militarty Police to watch it, it is no longer exclusive. Read the story. Gotcha... So in other words you dont know what an exclusive is? Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
guyser Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Really? Yes really . Try again? No thanks.Oh maybe once.... Payroll tax Property tax Employee personal tax sales tax Not to mention..."does not expect to generate material taxable income " meaning they could and would pay on that too. Im guessing thats trying enough. Edited November 15, 2012 by guyser Quote
g_bambino Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 Pretty sure those companies pay taxes, they don't spend tax dollars. Of course they spend tax dollars; they receive grants from the federal and provincial governments. Watch any Canadian-produced show right through to the end of its credits. Quote

Im guessing thats trying enough. Interesting standard you apply to CBC vs private corporations. I suppose you will also argue that corporations are overtaxed given they pay all of that plus corporate income taxes? Of course you won't because you're a partisan hack. I'm pretty sure you could find labour intensive corporations in Canada that pay over 100% tax by your definition. Seriously, this is a pathetic argument that really dispays how biased you are.

Watch any Canadian-produced show right through to the end of its credits. I don't know if that's possible! But seriously.. The point is pretty irrelevant since Canada mandates some % of Canadian conten iirc, and it's not like I support such mandates or those grants being offered by the feds.
