    No, but if the neighbour thinks its okay to water and feed his stock on my property, I think I can compensate myself fairly n'est-ce pas?

    What's the bag limit for Herefords I find wandering around my property?

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Yes, I do. Maybe not living in a downtown metro area, but in other areas of Canada? Why not? I think that many of us on this forum, given our shared backgrounds and salary experiences assume that those around us have similar experiences. There are plenty of everyday Canadians who are earning...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I don't think that you have actually used the calculator to back up your argument here. I just plugged some numbers in to see what the actual payments might be in a hypothetical situation. Here were my inputs: Married couple - only one spouse working, earning 95K a year. Homeowners in Ontario...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    See, my experience is the opposite. I'm one of 5 kids. All of my siblings had multiple kids so there are now 12 grandchildren in the family. My wife's sister had three kids as well. The three or four close families whose kids were all born at the same time all had 2 or 3 kids. Of the 30 kids my...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Your last paragraph highlights one of the affordability issues and whether you can afford more children. Or, to be more precise, the myth. You don't need to have a separate bedroom for every child. It would be nice to, but it isn't a requirement, especially when they are young. It actually...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I have a skewed view I believe on some of the Liberal policies that have encouraged larger families, was wondering if anyone was seeing something different. From my perspective, the childcare benefit has assisted parents in making a decision to have more children, as the cost of daycare is...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    But was that not the same period of time where we still cared for our elder parents in our own homes? So the question arises why was grandma living alone and penniless? And I don't think times have changed that much among the Anglo-Saxon part of the Canadian population. My wife has an aunt, in...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Is it all not just cyclical? Has there been a period of time where the cohort of seniors have not been the wealthiest and the younger people have been those who have had to struggle to build their wealth, until they have become the wealthier senior cohort? Is the poverty level among young people...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    We put so much emphasis on the names "Conservative" and "Liberal" tying all past iterations of the parties to their current positions. I believe that if Mark Carney were wearing a blue tie, and leading the current government, making all the same decisions, most of the anti-liberal posters would...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    It is interesting that no one has asked why they don't expropriate the current rail corridors from the railway companies and make them more efficient, rather than expropriating private lands. I know, this would cause more harm than good to the economy, but you'd think someone would at least do...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Living in the area, I have heard all the negative comments about this, and it is pure NIMBYism and self interest driving the arguments. These same individuals would argue against new hydro lines, pipelines, or highways. The biggest argument being made is how it may impact property values, and...

    Why is there this constant attempt to link everything Carney is doing as Brookfield pulling the strings in the background? After a quick search, there are no former MPs sitting on Brookfield boards, with the exception of the PM. There are eight current MPs who have financial links to Brookfield...

    I get the hostility towards China, as they go beyond trying to just control former Chinese citizens living abroad, and putting down dissent/criticism. India is a more interesting case. Why are we really mad at them? Because they assassinated what they deemed a threat on Cdn soil and got caught...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Hey, I'm not saying I believe that one guy did something wrong, so ban everything. I'm saying that for hot button issues, it doesn't help when one side provides more ammo to the opponents argument. And as long as the pro-gun side relies on the drunk driver, what about knives, or its illegal guns...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I'm not sure if this was posted somewhere else in the forums, but I think it is actions like those that resulted in this court martial here provide fuel for the anti-gun fire. They will point to the fact that even trained legal gun owners don't follow the rules, and therefore why should anyone...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I did a pretty deep dive using copilot on this, trying to find if there would be any legal arguments that had a chance of success. While there are potential arguments that would be successful in gaining appropriate compensation for any prohibited weapons, without an amendment to the OIC no legal...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    We are always shitting on Irving as a company (and maybe they deserve that) and the level of work their shipyard employees put out. But if you look at it from the workers point of view, maybe the reasons make things more understandable. East coast workers, like many other areas of Canada, don't...

    Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    There is a large difference though between arrested and charged/convicted. Given the interdepartmental frictions that exist, and ICE/CBP to assumptions as Federal agents they don't always need to notify local law enforcement they are operating in their backyard, they are probably quite often...
