| They are also even more isolated than most and have had massive maintenance costs and the like as a result of past evens like a sewer backup. To get things fixed they often have to fly people into the community because nobody is trained on how to do it. The government gave them a completely foreign... |

| "Factual and realistic", not the words I would use to describe it when you are trying to crucify leaders that were put in charge when many still have a high school or lower education because there has been absolutely nothing attempted to teach them things like accounting. I'm not trying t... |

| Support your team all season and find an owner and people will stop looking to move the organization. Pretty simple concept. |

| It's amazing what reading 30+ articles and 2 books will do to your view of a particular issue. With respect, reading a couple books on the issues doesn't make you an expert. Far from it. In fact, a lot of what you've read on here is more factual and realistic. Having spent a decade + on a reserve, ... |

| Well I wasn't referring to tax rates, but the various cash hand-outs, including tax credits and write-offs, given out to invidual businesses. But the point still applies. Is giving people a break on their income tax, tax credits, etc all "handouts" or does that only apply to businesses? R... |

| Thank you all for your kind replies. I'm glad to hear that not everyone's bill has doubled. I've heard so many complain on the radio that theirs have. It just seems odd to me that this happened as I've never had that problem before. Time will tell. I think you're overreacting to a common problem th... |

| OTI could simply adopt the same attitude, and not take offense where Martin offered none. Rebutting Martin's opinion is easy after that, as no one has been convicted of murder in the Dzienkanski incident, so no one is a 'murderer'. Incorrect adjective. Did they get away with murder? That's a matter... |

| Why don't they demand results from the corporations who have already received $13 BILLION in gov't handouts in 2012? If these handouts "create jobs" as the conservatives like to say, wheres the proof? Where's the accountability? Cut off any company who is taking taxpayer money and not sho... |

Let's see if you can follow along, OTI. Martin didn't call you a murderer. But you made it personal. Can you understand the difference?
I don't give a flying fuck whether or not he called me anything. That was an idiotic comment. Plain and simple. |

Good on you...but I don't feel the need to pussy-foot around when someone says something extremely stupid. |

One trick pony. |

I don't think there should be any reductions to what's being paid into it. You never know what you may need it. |

| awwwwww, when all else fails, go for the personal sipe... how nice :) So let me ask you this: Why did your friend stand around waiting for the ambulance for 15 minutes, instead of at least trying to make an attempt to save Dziejanski ? Checking stories already ? Too busy confiscating evidence from ... |

| Yes, your friend got away with murder, and he knows it, or he should. Maybe he will team up with this reject from Edmunchuk; they can train him up in the finer points of killing people. He can show them how to have a good bang while the taxpayer pays for all. They seem to be kindred spirits. You're... |

| Sure, only one guy pulled the trigger - but all four went in there looking for a confrontation - you can see it in their body language as they walk into the terminal. Within what, maybe 20 seconds of their arrival, they tasered Dziekanski? Not one of them made anything more than a token effort to c... |
