Thucydides the day I have to buy a car made in China is the day I hand in my license and start taking the bus. Besides I would be afraid I may get lead poisoning from the paint. I can just imagine the fun the insurance industry will have with this one, the crash test dummies will walk out and go...

On that I agree, there must be concessions by labour, unions and management in order to make the North American auto sector profitable again.

All due respect for everyone on this thread and I do apologize for some of my of handed comments, (referring to the one direted at Thulycedes) Sorry. But I'm not going to apologize for the passion I have for what goes on in my own backyard or for seeing the repressions that will most certainly...

Your nor paying much attention are you, GM and Ford are already spending billions into cleaner technology vehicles, but does anyone listen, no because their so hell bent on seeing them fail, that they are willing to buy a Japanese car that is built right here in north America, using the very...

And and 19 just how much experience is that  ::). Please come back and talk to me when you know what your talking about. Autoshop doesn't count. What in the 90's you were, what 10-12 years old, the only thing your were driving was a bicycle. The "reasons why" are a number of problems. 1st the...

I hear all this hype about how Japanese autos are superior to North American autos. Well from experience and having paid the repair bills on my wife's 2004 Honda Odysee minivan, to replace the transmission at 126,000 Kms, Body control Module at 140,000 Kms, now there is a problem with the wiper...

Maybe, maybe not; difference is, it won't be a provincial election and McGuinty won't be the one on the hot seat. People haven't forgotten about the Harris Tories and the slash and burn tactics he used in Ontario in the mid nineties, yet are they soon to forget that while they were loosing their...

For those of you who think that Harper will enjoy an easy majority if there is another election next year, er I would think again. The vote rich province of Ontario has gone from a "have abundance" to a "have not" province in the span of two and a half years, that's about as long as the...

I couldn't agree more. Mr. Duceppe can now go back to Quebec and shout "victoire, Freedon pour Québec!" once and for all. There's no closing the door on this one, because it's a clear victory for Quebec and the separatist movement. We thought that in 1995 we had finally closed the lid on the...

First order of business. If you want to put some Legitimacy behind this coalition. relace Dion, which will probably be done sooner than we think, most likely before Christmas. Second order of business is to conduct a Harper style cross country good old barn storming campaign for the coalition...

At least someone from the outside view's this for what it is, a mess of grand proportion... This has divided the country right down the middle, with west vs east and over the next six weeks, its going to get uglier and may even succeed in raising the ugly head of the separation question all...

Posted with all the usual caveats.

I was referring to all parties when I said "these clowns" no just the CPC. I'm actually a Liberal and I do support my party, but there has to be a better way for everyone involved to resolve this matter, other than what is transpiring right now in the house. It's completely ludicrous and...

"My DNA would never allow me to form a coalition with the socialists and my heart would never allow me to associate with separatists." Mr. day your DNA and heart certainly didn't stop you a few years back when you and Mr.Harper couldn't get to Gilles office fast enough to sign that agreement...

Did I say I had proof? I said assumption, there is a difference between assumptions and conspiracy theories, so don't go of and mince words I never said. Look up the word assumption in the dictionary. assumption - a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn...

Good question. Harper is no better than the rest of the politico's when it comes to lying and cheating. He's done his share of underhanded backroom bamboozling also, but it seems people conveniently have short memories. He has been in bed with the bloc a few times himself in the past, but...

I take a quote from (Rex Murphy) on the national last night when he said. "Either Mr. Harper is to dumb to know what he's doing, or he's to arrogant to care" Harper said Dion was a national embarrassment, well as far as Mr Harper is concerned, what he has succeeded in doing over the past week...

Aside from the few out there comments by a few posters, it's nice to see so many posts of Canadians who support our military.

I think at this point, both the Liberals and the NDP will try and place aside their diffences to make this work. The big hurdle here is getting the GG on board. But i'm sure that if both parties are serious and have a sound game plan, they could pull it of. Harper is trying to govern like he...

Yes we all heard the stories about the what ever and what ever, but that doesn' diminish from the facts that putting two and half million people out of work because of bad decisions made by a few top executives is not a recipe for disaster. My question is why aren't you having the same mindset...
