    Let them fail!

    Even though I agree with one side of your argument about alternatives, I don't see how advocating for the Japaneses auto makers is going to help us here in North America. People say they make a better product, but that is still a matter for debate. I owned Japanese and i say they have as many...

    Ontario Now a 'Have-Not' Province

The tone here seems to be we live in different countries, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec are not countries, but we already know that, so why do we go on making the case that they are. What affects one affects everyone, its called the country Canada, not the...

    BC Pipeline Explosion/Bombing

    How they went about it was the same difference. You could say the same about the IRA, but again how they went about it classified it as terrorism. If they wanted to save their jobs, there's other ways of going about it, other than blowing things up.

    What CAN Armour Troops are Up to in AFG

    I can remember on reforgers in Germany when we worked with the "zipperheads", we always wondered why the Heiniken always stayed so cold, until one day we watched as some troopers replenished their stock of "green grenades" down the main gun barrel. Had a good laugh and a few cold ones...

    Well we all know what the taliban are going to do from now on, don't we? They'll just make sure their positions are in highly populated areas and watch as NATO troops, retreat over the horizon. Politics are at it again. What's next? Issue the troops with blank ammunition and have them yell...

    I read the article. Riiight and you really believe that, don't be so naive. You think that pulling 25 big ones out of a hat is money they just happened to have sitting around, "no" its money that was probably taken from future spending, because up until this past week Harper said himself, he...

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    Its called deficit spending. Buy now pay later, or rather they spend now, "we" pay later. Just add this latest amount to the tab and we'll see how much tax relief we get when the tab comes due.
