God drat them all, i was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, we'd fire no guns, shed no tears, but I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier. :smith:

Maybe our national anthem could be a de-queenified cover of "Maple Leaf Forever" by UTA

quote:

Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
May peace forever be our lot,
And plenteous store abound:
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green o'er freedom's home
The Maple Leaf forever!

sure less dumb than "in all of us command"

I'm big into voting but it's honestly very hard to justify voting in the federal election. I don't want to vote for Trudeau, but voting conservative is worse. The NDP don't stand a chance, so if I want to vote left-wise at all I have to vote liberal. The local Communist Party is run by a certified dingus so that's out, too.

I did this once and wound up arguing about my right to do so with an elections worker I realized mid-sentence was mildly intellectually challenged. I felt like a complete rear end and have voted every year since.

I feel like that whole "People Eating Tasty Ballots" thing would still be harder for election workers to cope with, yet involve much less arguing. Or just leave with it.

I love how the left has to justify every cent spent on the creation of social programs without a word about the long term savings, while the right promises to reduce everybody's taxes to zero without a loving peep from anybody of the cost, long term or short term.

Simple words. "What services and programs will the revenue lost from your tax cut impact?"

Instead it's "we'll do that guy's tax cut plus 5%"

Business are also not cash constrained in Canada. They are sitting on huge piles of dead money and also have easy access to credit. If there was a lot of profitable investments to be made they'd already be making them not waiting around for another income tax cut to make the money available.
