The last time there was a mass retirement of senior pers was during unification and it accomplished the same thing one would today. The reality is that there's always someone else waiting in the wings.

Civilian airspace doesn't use a ROZ or any other ASCM though class F may be possible. Class G in a major city is right out of the picture. Even class F would be unlikely as ATC is unlikely to shut down approach/take off corridors to allow fighters to do anything other than to move somewhere...

I don't believe it misses this point in 2 of 3. In ranked ballots it's still at a riding level and the rankings only matter if there isn't a majority on the first ballot itself. This system only changes the specifics of how riding ballots are counted, not the system per set,  since it's really...

You're wrong here- all partisans, left or right, want a one party state and can be seeing their various rantings. For each "libtard" there's a "redneck". The right is as guilty as the left.

In the proposed system, each first place vote would be counted as such and if a majority of constituents voted for one candidate he or she woukd be the winner regardless of subsequent votes. Only if less than 50% of people voted for one candidate woukd a run off occur where the number of second...

Indeed. The last poll I can find indicates that 48% of Canadians want electoral reform while only 35% don't, with the remainder in the unsure category. So, the majority would presumably be weighted in favour of change from the FPTP system, which is in line with the 63% of Canadians who voted for...

And that's the real issue. The reality is the middle class are the ones squeezed by raises in the minimum wage. Thsee are just attempts at making equality of outcome vice equality of opportunity. But... it's cheaper than properly funding schools 

Where do  champion the left specifcally? I agree with some left and some right proposals

My hero? I defy you to find a post where I deify Trudeau or even give him more than Luke warm support on specific issues. Because I disagree with poorly thought out proposals by the CPC doesn't mean I support Trudeau. Same as because I think Trump's an idiot doesn't mean I supported Obama or...

Not incorrect. Theres something to be said for knowing the basics of confkic of interst laws too. I never mentioned Trudeau though, unless you mean the other trust fund turned champion of the middle class, Donald J. Trump who spends a ton of time golfing and not signing legislation.

Quite right. An educated out of touch old guy. As many note, education doesn't always equal intelligence, though I don't think rex is stupid. Just out of touch in general. More like the grumpy old guy that yells at kids on his lawn.

That's not a nice thing to say about Rex Murphy... sure,  he's old and out of touch and makes lots of unsubstantiated claims, but....

:facepalm: The problem is that the sheeple and right-wing snowflakes inthe US refuse to see that he's essentially an 8 year old. Bregs, lies, and calls names. ON US politics, ans speaking of tge real sheeple, at least Alabama finally decided not to vote in a racist, nativist,  pedophile.

This is true,  he hasn't George Bush'd yet so I'll give him that.

To be fair, you'd have to go back almost as far to see any real decent conservative spending either. The current state of the CAF is a 2 party issue

No, I dont know that for a fact nor did I assert that I did. From the man himself, 'We cannot solve our problems by repeating same failed strategies of the past. Old challenges demand new approach, my announcement today is a new approach to the conflicts between Israel and Palestine'. I just...

Sure it does... debt all goes into the same lump and is "mostly" bad regardless of the party who created it.

What facts do you have to back this up? The only thing I hear is the "Trump wanted to show the arabs who's boss" jargon. But I've yet to be convinced how this will change anything aside from push them into the Chinese or Russian Sphere's of influence. My initial question in the whole thing was...

Why not compare them? Is LPC debt somehow different than CPC debt and have different debt serving fees? Harper grew the debt by about $211 billion in 9 years, which is not insignificant in terms of real debt minus real assets as per my last post. Trudeau is on pace to blast those numbers out of...

Indeed, the 4.6% is GDP growth. However, your explanation of GDP requires some refinement. GDP can be calculated in 3 ways, being the production approach (sum of gross product of all enterprises), income approach (GDP= Compensation of Employees+Gross Operating Surplus+Gross Mixed...
