Yes this argument would be true if the goods sold to Canadians from walmart was balanced for imports/exports.  Nearly all the crap we get from walmart comes imported,  Which makes it bad for our economy.  The money gets sucked out, goes over seas or to the United States and doesn't come back. ...

It's a 5 year apprenticeship to do what I do for a living, people off the street don't know this stuff.  That is the whole point.  Expecting people to grasp these concepts which is being pitched by Home Depot is like my Dentist calling me a idiot for not knowing how to remove my own wisdom...

I shop there too, picked up some christmas stuff today actually.

Actually it is, some area's are banning and putting limitations on big box stores now due to their negative affects,  As in new york, google it.  "walmart and new york"  there is no walmarts in the area. When I registered my corporation, there is a lot of zoning laws, and legalities, all...

Ergo, why I am against monopolies due to abuse of their powers but not in principle for their existence.  For example, home depot will sell you anything they don't even care if it works or is done correctly.  At the contractor service desk they have foundation crack repair kits.  I read the...

It is a our politicians that lets the big chain stores in, as they have to acquire a permit.  I have nothing against big chain stores existing, just that they will stop at nothing for making a profit.  Walmart been sued many times for hiring cash laborers and employing illegal immigrants,  they...

Easier said then done =)

Albert Einstein also said compound interest is the cruelest form of tax there is. Yes credit today is easier to pay later and so on.  That is not my beef, my beef with it is, the application of that method is based on a assumption.  The assumption that there will be a pay cheque (check for you...

Yep.  The WHO when they kept records have always pegged the USA around 25th to 30th overall for quality of service.

Yes ObamaCare, ie universal healthcare costs less.  United states, has i believe the highest cost per person in the world for healthcare.  Canada is like 27% percent cheaper,  Japan, includes, eyes, dental and everyone receives healthcare no mater who they are as long as they are within Japan's...

I really believe the world needs to move away from the the debt system, or the 'rob Peter to pay Polly' view of doing finances.  Some fast numbers to drive the nail home.  We all know the 2% inflation number central banks use.  When applying the rule of "72" at 2% cost of goods would double in...

Hi Thucydides: I knew a banker who did investments with CIBC, she invent in the millions of dollars and make huge profits for the bank,  The average worker cannot do this.  It was high stakes investing for a quick fast profit.  Even the average millionaire cannot do this.  Some people make...

Hi Cupper:  You don't have to pay full time employees benefits or any perks.  This is often confused as some companies volunteer to pay it, and many unions.  Automotive comes to mind; they Negotiate benefits in their contracts.  There is no regulation saying you have to pay anything extra to a...

Easy there big guy. I know you said "if" but then went speaking as if I am doing these things, which I certainly 100% am not.  Attempts to distort the market?  The market is manipulated every single day by government.  What I singled out is something that exists, which is 100% abuse.  Nothing is...

I believe the problem point of view and being the product of our surroundings.  I work with a lot of different people and met and discussed views with many Muslims from the middle east living here in Canada. There is a disconnect even with in their own culture.  In the span of one week, I met 3...

I edited this to take out this question in particular.  Hopefully I don't hijack this topic.  But I have to ask.  what advance to a Palestinian homeland?  Hamas has Jew killing in their charter...  You can't request peace then in the same sentence say we are going to kill you all.  Which is what...

If the global economy is to ever be fixed,  I really think we need a ombudsman type roll in all the economies to bridge the gaps from federal, corporate and personal levels and wipe out most of the credit based aspects of it so the "average joe" doesn't rack up a mountain of debt he/she is...

Not trying to bash Ian Bremmer, he only pointed out the blatantly obvious. poor economies that are in a high growth has always seen a prosperous middle class.  (lots of resources, money to be spent, absorbed and used). Middle class in developed countries has always dropped. (highways, houses...

I think he implied, nuke or not a attack against Israel would be just outright stupid hence nothing to worry about.

"Saying wipe them off the map."  Have a read through Hamas charter.  It is full of Jew killing.
