    GM refuses Canadian bailout loans

    I can see GM in the very near future weigh anchor here in Canada and pull out all together, leaving the CAW to its own demise. Most plants here in Ontario built the big gas guzzling trucks and cars anyway and the market for them has all but dried up. They've already closed four other plants in...

    24 THINGS ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT IN AMERICA

    The future is here and we have to embrace it, whether we like it or not or be left behind. Land lines, dial-up and yellow pages are yesterdays news. I can open my Apple I-phone and find with a few keystrokes and find a restaurant, address or phone number in a few seconds and then download...

    Krispy Kreme or Tim Hortons?

    I like Tims, but I don't buy it at the coffee shop. I usually get a few cans of Tims  from the nearest grocery store and brew my own at home and thermos it to work. I bought one of those mug warmers from Cdn Tire that you plug into a 12 volt receptacle in your car, keeps the java nice and hot...

It's been almost five years since someone used my SIN to...

    What happens to fighter pilots' brains at high altitudes , BBC News

    I liked this one, The pilot says tall skinny guys pass right out when pulling G's, but short bald fat guys who drink lots of beer and eat plenty of red meat, just take it all in stride, shake their heads and keep on going. I'm one of those bald short fat guys  ;D Must be all that cholesterol...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Yes George I know the wheels still have to turn, but you totally missed my point as I can see from your other two posts. What I was referring to in if you took the time to read it, it was Harper should of waited until the house resumed before appointing these new senators. Have some respect for...

    Electoral Reform (Senate, Commons, & Gov Gen)

    Mr Campbell that's the problem, everyone is talk, talk, talk, but when it comes right down to it, the partinship always gets in the way. In my view as I have stated in another thread the Senate as its stands is a waste of tax payers money, its only purposes it to feed par tinship politics and...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    That would have been fine with, but as he has locked everyone out, that should have meant also for himself. Proroguing means "everyone" is locked out, not just certain entities. If Dion,Martin or Chretien had of done this I would have been just as critical about them. First of an appointed...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Sorry George but everything I said had nothing to do with emotions, it was my opinion, like it or not. I'm sure you have your own view and your entitled to it. But please don't assume to know what my state of mind is when I post something. I though about every word I wrote and that is exactly...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Sorry George not guilty on both counts I'm neither Liberal nor Conservative. I gave up my partinship long time ago. Just expressing my view like every other Canadian is en tilted to. Or are we not allowed to do that anymore? Seems to me your asking me to shut my mouth and go on my merry way...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Being "Prorogued" and "Not being in session" are two very different situations. Proroguing means to turning of the lights, locking the doors and forcing the closure of Parliament. You come back when I say so. Not being in session, means just that, 'we're on holidays, Christmas, summer...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Gap that's not my point. The Parliament was not prorogued when senate seats were filled back then, At least he should of waited until parliament resumed and then appoint his senators, Fair enough. You can talk till your blue in the face my stance is what he's doing is just as bad as what was...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    Nope there all one sided just like anyone elses and the difference here is when the Liberals did it Parliament wasn't prorogued, so the opposition had a say. Democracy not Anarchy. My dislike of Mr Harper has nothing to do with it, if this was done by Liberals I would be just as outraged. We're...

    Merry Christmas, Heres your senate seat.

    When I first heard about this a week back, I thought it might be a bad rumour, but today that rumour sprouted into reality. Well I guess as that time old analogy says "If you can't beat them, you may as well join them". Not surprising this coming from the Mr. Harper, after all this is the same...

    Let them fail!

    I'm sorry I offended you, but maybe in the future you should heed your own advice and stick to what you do know. In the 70's and 80's the Japanese were making junk, North American auto makers were making gas guzzlers because that's what the people wanted, gas was cheap 35 cents a gallon in the...
