perhaps although that is questionable. What is known and the question in response to the point about theatre was: when was the last time an opposition amendment to a finance bill was implemented. Agreements made behind closed doors do not count in this context.

of course it was theatre. When was the last time that the governing party accepted an amendment on a money bill?

ah, perception has it all. Those items are considered essential these days. Those beamers are essential transportation for getting to the food bank. Schooling needs to include a course on how to live within your means. Reading back through different strings one becomes aware that we are...

As part of our 2%, I have heard little to nothing regarding our response to the hurricane disaster in Jamaica and Haiti. Usually there is some kind of rumour from OW that the DART was under consideration. I would have thought that, with all the temp. workers here from Jamaica that it would...

classrooms and curriculum are orientated to girls. Being male is frowned upon. Every group you can think of takes priority over your WASP male. Boys at home here there dads complain about reverse discrimination, they see the doctors, store clerks, store owners, truck drivers and so on are all...

perhaps they should consider adding Grade 13 to the school system to enable another year of maturing before the kids hit the streets. As I see it, an individual is either mature at 20 or he probably never will be. Take a walk through Ypres and read the ages: 18, 17, often old is 22. Old...

just file an indigenous claim. Then you can pass your neighbour's house off to them as well

We also don't do much ourselves. Remember Canada's back. You could charter a Twin Otter to carry most of our contributions but then again we haven't got a whole bunch to draw upon to fill the otter anyways. Your replies indicate that you don't hold out much hope for any type of Canforce...

A quick google on France reveals they have 37 A300 delivered or on order by 2030. They have 18 C130s all for a country the size of our maritime provinces less NFLD and located right in the middle of the primary location for any peer to peer conflict. We on the other hand are at the extreme end...

too true. GM had Carl Millard on almost permanent standby to travel down to various towns in the states. At times the a/c would come back with a single box of bolts strapped to the floor of an otherwise empty DC3.

makes a lot of sense. Why re-invent the wheel and go through the pains of trying to develop a new technology when there is one available that has been proven reliable over decades of use

I like what we have thank you. Turning Carney loose with a majority would be no better than having re-elected Justin with a majority. With the numbers as close as they are, he has to consider us lowly voters rather than the party and his own personal goals.

true, the subs were in the Mulroney era but it was the PET era that fostered the notion that we didn't need a military. There were lots of causes other than Pierre but he was the source

A mistral or one of our new support vessels would be more advantageous than a C17

not as much as Pierre did. He was getting Canada out of it all long before the Russians got mired in Afghanistan. Bases closed in Europe, unification, budget cuts, all contributed and are all on his doorstep

I wouldn't be quite so pessimistic. Remember Nicolae Ceaușescu. He thought his regime would last a long time too.

Maplehurst was built with space for gardening and we used to see the residents working along the edge of hwy 25.

agreed. just pointing out that there is no good path for the dippers regardless of the budget. Though I guess the same could be said for the other two parties as well. Perhaps the NDP have said it right: everyone abstain agreed but only to a limited extent. Each of them controlled a single...

to defend those successive governments: it was primarily the lawyers and human rights folks saying that we were taking advantage of the poor criminal by making him work. Couldn't have a con. doing brush clearance without paying him 15 an hour or more etc. Wasn't the govt. it was the judges...

don't bet on the dems. They seem to be more self-destructive than the cons. party
