marcus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 When he became a member of the left. All lefties are a angry bunch waldo. Totally. All lefties are "a angry" bunch and quite stupid as well. Kind of like this guy: Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.
WIP Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Aren't they in the process of expanding the power production at Niagara Falls now, or didn't they just finish that? Yes, I believe the new underground tunnel, which takes water from the Upriver has been completed. I grew up in Niagara Falls and the power stations were part of our local history taught in school. In the 80's, a third power plant that would be built alongside the first two, was proposed. But, as I haven't been paying too close attention to the story, it seems that plans were scaled back and instead they just built a third underground tunnel for the generating stations downriver at Queenston (Adam Beck #2 had two tunnels built to supply water, the first plant built in the 20's had an open channel cut through the city that takes water down to Queenston). I have a friend who's a rock driller, and had been working on the tunnel construction. I'm not sure what he's working on now or if all the work has been completed there. But, while I wasn't paying attention, it seems the powers-that-be decided that building a new generating station wasn't necessary for whatever reasons....I'm not finding anything on Google or other search engines on the specifics of what happened to Sir Adam Beck III.

WIP Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Niagara falls which I understand is running under 50% . The dam system along the ottawa / madawaska rivers which according to my buddies that work there are dumping water all the time , so we have to use the expensive green stuff. And when these dams are not producing, do we send the workers home, no. They still get paid . If by 50% you're referring to the power stations in Niagara Falls taking 50% of the water from the Niagara River, that's by the rules of an international water diversion treaty signed by Canada and the United States back in the 50's. Obviously if power stations diverted all of the water before it reached the Falls, that would be the end of tourism! So, the plants on both sides of the River take 50% of the water during the daytime hours and 75% of the water at night during the off hours to fill two water reservoirs - one at Queenston, and one on the US side for the Robert Moses Plant....which was on land seized from the Tusquarora Iroquois....but that's another story! Anyway, now that a new tunnel has been built on the Canadian side to take the remaining extra allowed water capacity, there's no more room to grow new hydroelectric capacity in Niagara.

Hudson Jones Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 You can't compare a PM who governs in a particular era with those who governed in different eras. It's impossible. How convenient Argus. Your tireless attempts to cover for your irrational and illogical argument is somewhat amusing. First you try to dismiss Harper's poor economic record, when it comes to ALL previous prime ministers by saying that you cannot compare Harper's record to someone in the 40's. Then, when I mention that it's not just the prime ministers in the 40's, but ALL prime ministers before him, including the last two, then you try to dismiss his poor economic record by saying that it was a different "era". Like Martin and Chretien were from so long ago. Quote When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi
Argus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 How convenient Argus. Your tireless attempts to cover for your irrational and illogical argument is somewhat amusing. I really find it intriguing when someone who clearly has no interest in logic or rationality attempts to suggest the most basic aspects of reality are false. It suggests he thinks everyone reading his posts is a pure idiot, dumb enough to believe his statements that black is white and white is black. Is it like those spam things, where, sure, you know most people aren't going to be duped, but you only need one or two to make it worthwhile? Is it a victory to you if only 99% of people dismiss your inane, nonsensical statements?

Hudson Jones Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 ... That's good. As expected, more hot air and no substance. So conclusion: Harper has had the worst economic record of any prime minister since WW2. End score: Reality wins (but Canada loses) Quote When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.

End score: Reality wins (but Canada loses) Should Mulcair get voted in, yes, Canada loses – we are going to have to so much red tape and regulations shoved down our throats that we will almost be nullified from doing anything with a positive business idea! It will be Nanny State with no economy, business or freedom! Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

Apparently truth is something you find an insubstantial thing, which is reflected by how little substance any of your bleating contains. Maybe you should go back to Jew baiting.

It will be Nanny State with no economy, business or freedom! It must be amazing to have the power to see the future.

Oh yeah, the link. Again, that's a deceptive statement. Every decade has unique circumstances that may challenge or reward a government. It's like saying Dennis Maruk was a better hockey player than Sid Crosby because Maruk scored 136 pts in one year and Crosby has never eclipsed 120. Like I said, different times, different circumstances....but you would rather deceive. Then you send a link by UNIFOR.....

Kind of like this guy: Alot of people are getting fed up with the biased reporting, and constant stalking of harper abut duffy. Even people not conservative are getting sick of it. The RCMP investigated and charged him in a yr and we are now going into our 4th yr waiting on the OPP to do something about the real corrupt and incompetent liberal government in ONT.

Let me remind you that during one of the worst global economic times since the depression of the 30's, Canada was the only nation NOT suffering the consequences because of the Harper government policies in place. And most thinking, mature and responsible Canadians were bloody grateful for that. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

Why are Conservatives online so bent on interjection Ontario provincial politics into discussions about the federal government? Kathleen Wynne is utterly irrelevant. She's a terrible premier, who adopted a legacy of corruption. But nobody outside of Ontario gives a crap about Wynne. Quote
PIK Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Conservatives win ONT they get another majority. And people across the country need to learn about wynne, because that is the style of government we will get from trudeau. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

And people across the country need to learn about wynne, because that is the style of government we will get from trudeau. The provincial Liberal parties are distinct entities from the federal party. There's no way to connect the two's policies like you're trying to do here. More importantly, Wynne is completely irrelevant to anyone outside Ontario. I think Wynne has done stupid things, but I couldn't possibly care less because I don't live there. More importantly, I don't see you pointing to what a trainwreck the ON provincial Tories are as a criticism of Harper. Yet, that's exactly what you're doing with Wynne and Trudeau. Ontario politics are just not relevant. Edited August 20, 2015 by cybercoma Quote
Smallc Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 It's hard to separate someone who's such a cheerleader for a party of the same name. I would normally agree with what you're saying, but not this time. Quote

But trudeau is a big supporter of wynne and her policies, so you just might find out how bad it is in ONT when he does the same to canada.
