WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Probably not, but I'm just responding to your absurd arguments. Sorry bro just stating facts.

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 I can't imagine Canadians care enough to give that rat's ass. Your ranking makes no sense. I can't explain it because it doesn't mean a damn thing. Would you care to explain how being #100 or being #1 makes any credible difference except in your mind? And where, exactly, are you getting this ranking from? The G7 is well known and Canada is in it, so what "think tank list" are you quoting from? Got a cite? Get ready for a world of hurt! This updated list actually put's Canada at #16! F'n WOW! Thanks Harper! Your conservatives are so useless, we're slipping another spot just before election time! Keep listening to Joe Oliver blow his sweet nothings in your ear. http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVjI9SDlVLikA0V4nnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTEzNGk0dWJmBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNARjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwMl8x/RV=2/RE=1429846206/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.cia.gov%2flibrary%2fpublications%2fthe-world-factbook%2frankorder%2f2001rank.html/RK=0/RS=cdggTxj8Pd9XP_3cWOIcdv.zzhY- Where's Canada on this list???? http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVjI9SDlVLikAz14nnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTEzZzRibTkwBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwMl8x/RV=2/RE=1429846206/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2frt.com%2fbusiness%2frussia-gdp-5th-largest-158%2f/RK=0/RS=JJpv_M7Faa_u4VFPRXc1jMcYvWA- WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 lol. Yeah, ask 90% of Mexicans how their standard of living is, I'm sure it's MUCH better than ours. Cause, those rankings mean so much .Just in case you get Poe'd, I am being sarcastic. Mexico or Mexicans? Canada or Canadians? Did I say Mexicans? Did I say Canadians?

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Think so? Go live there. I doubt many Mexicans would think their economy is better than ours. Actually many Canadians do live there and do business there. In fact, many more Canadian business are warming up to the Mexican economy! And why not? If there's money to be made there, then go make it! It's the poor blind man that fails to see the opportunities! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Just where are you getting your list from anyway? And what is it measuring? Brazil is a crummy place to live, filled with poverty, slums and violence. CIA 2014 stats. Just posted the link above. In it, Canada is now ranked #16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you have to check it often because Canada is now in freefall! Last time I checked a few months ago we were still hanging on to #15.

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 I think that if a stagnate economy is the problem then encouraging people to save their money is the exact opposite of what will help the economy. Companies grow and hire more people when they do more business. People putting their money in tax-sheltered savings and not spending it does little to encourage businesses to grow and to hire more people, further stimulating the economy. Looks like you didn't get the memo. Canada now ranks #16 in world economies! Don't look to the conservatives to turn this sinking ship around! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

Argus Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Social programs that "apparently" serve the poor are actually there to protect the property rights of the wealthy and to promote political stability. They were conceived by the wealthy and implemented by the wealthy. Not one single politician involved in crafting any of these programs has ever been poor. This is just plain silliness. If you want to oppress the poor there are all manner of easier ways to do it than giving them lots of money and free houses. The systems in place to help the poor and poorer members of our society are not put in place out of self-interested fear by the middle class but out of a sense of morality and brotherhood wherin we don't want to see people dying in the street for lack of food, shelter and health care. To suggest otherwise is, quite frankly, nuts and ignores the historical model which basically saw the needs of the poor completely ignored. When the middle class starts fearing the poor they won't give them more money, instead they'll stock up on guns and start demanding we hire more police. As for the poor not being involved in implimenting or designing programs for the poor, so? The poor aren't involved in implimenting or designing ANYTHING, nor have they ever been. Lawyers are a hell of a lot more likely to be in control than high school dropouts working at Pizza Pizza.

You do realize that this is simply a measure of economic activity, and that it's heavily influenced by population, right? Thus, Mexico, population 120 million, has more economic activity than Canada, population 34 million. It's certainly not a measure of the health of the economy or the economic lifestyle of the populations involved. As such, this is a completely meaningless statistic as far as measuring the performance of the goverment.

The purpose is to create political stability and keep private property rights secure. To suggest otherwise is, quite frankly, nuts and ignores the historical model which basically saw the needs of the poor completely ignored. Yes and it showed that the results of those needs being completely ignored were either violent revolution, or a progression towards communism or pure socialism. In both cases the property rights of the ownership class were compromised. When the middle class starts fearing the poor they won't give them more money, instead they'll stock up on guns and start demanding we hire more police. They cant hire more police and they wont be in a position to demand ANYTHING. If you allow a large, impoverished, and desperate underclass to emerge they will start to vote in big numbers, and the government and police will be serving their interests. A good example is Venezuela, where a such an underclass was allowed to emerge, to the point where millions of poor people lived in tent cities while a small percentage of the population owned everything. They elected the first guy that campaigned on real wealth distribution and he set about siezing assets from the wealthy, and from businesses, and nationalizing foreign corporations. We (the upper and middle class) provide a social safety net, not out of altruism or a sense of moral duty, but because its in our best interests to do so. Quote I question things because I am human.

Scotty Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 So what? It's not some universal truism that governments should never run deficits. No, but Mister Trudeau said that it was a known fact that Liberal governments balance the budget while Tory governments run deficits. Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy
