| If we were not printing money to keep up with all of the entitlements that keep getting handed out to pretty much everyone there'd be no significant inflation to worry about. The thing too many simplistic people don't understand is that the minimum wage increases are a cause of inflation, not a mer... |

There is still no substitute for thinking, feeling though. if you think that your drive train makes you somehow invincible, reality will pull you into he next ditch ... where you belong. The CVT... |

| Really - they're taking those jobs just for shits and giggles? Everybody who's not a kid living with middle class parents needs to make more, as this subsidy shows. So just raise the minimum wage to $100 an hour and you'll eliminate poverty, right? Do you really think Walmart, McDonalds, etc., shou... |

| But subie awd is very good, had a legacy wagon myself (before they came out with the outback). Really wished they still made the Legacy wagon here. I love my outback, but the handling on those old wagons was far superior to the high clearance Outbacks on the road now. It's a tradeoff I guess. My ve... |

| My last car was a Subaru (Forester)which I drove from cradle to grave. What a fantastic car. My needs have changed, though. I'm commuting 150 kms+ a day, now so I need a one man fuel sipper (and something smarter than a Smart Car. My wife can do the big car thing for herself + kids. This time aroun... |

| There was an undercover investigation and they found that American dealers were refusing to sell to Canadians shopping for cars in the States, because they wanted to keep prices higher in Canada. I imagine if you went far enough south you could find a dealer, but places along the border like Bellin... |

| Just look at the difference in new car prices between Canada and the US...............there's always some bullshit excuse why the prices are higher. In this case they blame the distribution system. I'm new car shopping right now and I have to admit that the price differences do piss me off. I bough... |

| But right now, no of course, you cant shoot a deer within the city limits. If gunfire in the city isn't welcome - some of the best deer hunting I've done was off a backyard deck with a bow. :!: :) Knowing this place, I doubt if they would even allow that--I believe there is a no-hunting policy peri... |

| Figures. Of course the bleeding hearts in Toronto are against the hunt, they don't have to deal with the consequences, at least not until problem bears start appearing regularly in Metro Toronto. Then they'll give a shit. We seriously need deer culls around here, as well ... either that or introduc... |

| While I'm not a particular fan of hunting, I find it interesting how black bears seem to be thriving near large, populated areas of eastern North America. A few years ago, I visited a friend in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She took me up to a park on the ridge from which you could see the entire Manhatta... |

| It's not just rightwingers criticizing Obamacare. Most of the policies offered have $6000 deductibles with 20% copays with out of pocket costs "limited" to $12,500. That's exclusive of premiums which can easily run $400/$500 a month. Even if your income is low enough to qualify for premium... |

| Good point guys. I agree with the idea of the government attempting to keep their society secular meaning separation of church and state, but in this case with this demonstration this has descended into a bullying session. This is the getting to be the very kind of thing that you are trying to avoi... |
