    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    Please can you pass over what ever your smoking, must be some good stuff. A majority may have been in the stars two weeks ago, but now the world economic crisis has lifted it's ugly head out of the ashes that was the world economy and blasted that "majority" all to hell. Along with tongue tied...

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    The only thing Harper can hope for now is a weak minority, he slipped the tongue these past few days and it hurt his numbers. If he had  kept his mouth shut and stop talking about his mother or how Canadians could get bargains in the stock market right now (true as that may be), that's the last...

    B.C. man says he won deadly fight with black bear

    I don't think hitting a grizzly with a stick would be of much use, but to just make it angrier and rip you apart quicker. But my hats of to this chap, he kept his cool and came out alive in the end. You don't hear many stories of people actually killing a black bear with a stick. It's usually...

    Finally! About freakin' time! (O.J. goes to jail!)

    Karma was a way of coming back and biting you in the behind, when you least expect it. I wouldn't want to be going were he's going. There's no golf course where he's going, but i'm sure some big old Leroy will be more than happy to show OJ how much he likes him, when he drops the bar of soap in...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    unfortunately we are about to see much more of this in the next little while and not only to the big players, it will affect all of us. My mortgage comes due for renewal in four months and I'm already worried I won't be able to get the credit, let alone get a decent interest rate. I was watching...

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    History dictates that majority governments have a bad habit of derailing after a very short period of time. After 13 years of a liberal majority government, we got what? (0) I'm all for a minority. I'm not about to make the same mistake twice. I agree that we need a steady hand at the tiller in...

    Put your thinking hat on

    Reverse engineer this technology and you now have a way of controlling peoples thoughts through that "bluetooth device" But i'm sure people smarter than me have already thought of that.... No i'm not a conspiracy nut.

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    After watching and observing the four ring circus over the past 2 weeks, I've come to the conclusion that none of the main performers are "Master of Ceremony" material. It's like watching four clowns in the center ring performing a comedy act. I had an idea at the beginning of the campaign who...

    Financial facts: First mortgage equals "protection from creditors"?

    Heres the link to the Canadian Bar Association BC branch on mortgages and second mortages, forclosures and power of sales. Its a good read for homeowners. http://www.cba.org/bc/public_media/housing/415.aspx

    A threat to Army.ca

    It seems that as we move farther into the "21st century", the closer we get to the scenario in the Orson Welles novel "1984" Big brother is watching. Some may find this a bit humourus but if this continues we all may see and eventual erosion of all of our personal freedoms, to the point when...

    Financial facts: First mortgage equals "protection from creditors"?

    Obtaining a second mortgage is the worst decision a home owner can make. Not only are you losing the leverage you have on your home, but now if you are late paying your payments or can't make both payments you may lose your house. Because now if the lender holding the second mortgage finds out...

    Disability Compensation

    A word of advice. DO IT SOON as you possibly can, don't wait!! When I was hurt, my Pl WO. got the ball rolling almost immediately with the DVA and SISIP. He brought all the forms to me and I filled all the forms while still in the hospital. Glad he did because after I was released there was no...

    13 Cents !

    With prices like these at the pumps and then we get shafted again when the government again gives "Big Oil" our money in the form of multi-billion dollar subsidies. So you can add on another dollar or so per litre at the pumps when you tack on these subsidies. all though hidden we're still...

    Stress cases climb sharply among Afghan mission vets

    I agree that "nothing but the best" is still nothing if something isn't soon done about it. The cons have been promising the sky on the better treatment of vets for the past 2 1/2 years, but all we've seen so far has been nothing more tangible than a bunch of lip service.

    Sept 15 - Moss Park Demonstration

    The reason you see many more homeless people these days and I would add most are mentally Ill, is because Mike Harris and his band of merry assholes closed many of the mental health hospitals in Ontario during his reign. This left many people who depended or were institutionalized in these...

    A Thread About The Legality of Using Others Bandwidth- Renamed From the Original

    When you buy a car or a house, don't you make sure there "locked" and the alarm systems are on? Same instance goes for wireless networks, "Lock it up". We can talk about morality till we're blue in the face, but the fact is many people even law abiding citizens who won't steal your car or rob...
