Why allude to the draft when the author herself stated the draft is drastically different from the actual report? Wasteful spending is wasteful spending, no matter how big the dollar amount. That much I agree with. But it alone is not nearly a big enough amount to paint the Conservative...

So you are also aware of the Auditor General's comments regarding this draft? About how an initial draft goes through many revisions, and the final product usually looks much different than the initial draft? You may wish to argue about rumors and speculation, but I prefer to wait for the real...

I leave my doors unlocked more often than I lock them.

Head in the sand? Aren't you jumping to conclusions? I prefer to wait for the AG's report to come out in June rather than speculate as to what it contains. According to one of your earlier posts, you've already seen the report somehow... In any case, if the report does show wasted spending...

The biggest problem with the Canadian healthcare system is the wait times for complicated surgeries. I'm sure you could get your hip resurfacing done quicker in another country at an exhorbant cost. How exactly does Chinese herbal medecine cure a metal hip resurfacing? And if you are...

:D Is it just me, or does that guy have a sunburn?! :confused:

Yep.

You mean that Auditor General report that hasn't even been released yet? How can you comment on the findings of this report when it won't even be released until June? Internet surveilance? Huh? Double the cost of jets and double the number of years? What are you talking about? How...

Google: Vancouver Canucks penalty box flash. Some hottie decided to flash a player when he got a penalty a few games ago.

:D Na, they don't do well with our climate. I worked with Mexicans in my younger days during the summer holidays. They would come up here for seasonal work. I would be sweating buckets without a shirt on, and they would be wearing big flanel jackets with their toques on stand by. No joke...

You don't think? Look at the polls for the upcoming provincial election in October. Voters in Ontario are holding the Liberal McGuinty accountable for his shitty governing job the past few years, and are ready and waiting to vote in the Conservative Hudak. That is accountability.

The deficit they created to improve the staggering infrastructure deficit in this country during a global recession, yes. You do know that the dollar figure surrounding the F35 purchase is over 30 years, right? You do know that the F35 is widely considered one of the most advanced fighter...

I'm not sure where you've been, but there was a worldwide recession a couple of years ago. The Conservatives (at the insistance of the NDP and Liberals, by the way), spent large amounts of money on infrastructure during this time. Considering we have recovered all of the jobs we lost during...

Some differences in Canada from the mid 90's to now: 1. Canada was highly indebted at that time, and spent a lot of money on debt servicing. That is no longer the case. 2. Higher resource prices and increased resource extraction. 3. More foreign investment. 4. Lower tax...

Fairy tales are not history books.

:D Absolutely! It's not a problem when Zepplin or the Stones get stuck in your head, but try appearing sane after others catch you humming Echo Beach.

Done plenty of research. Our healthcare system (while far from perfect), is genuinely regarded as among the best in the world.

The climate is the exact same as you would find in New York or Chicago. Many people apparently are tough enough to handle some cold weather, although admitedly, not everyone can hack it.

I live in Canada and love it. Especially now with a Conservative government dedicated to lowering taxes. The biggest gripe is usually the climate (although us Canadians love the snow). The biggest threat economically is our ageing population. We need immigrants because our population...
