From those links...
The 2004 CF Budget was 12 255 000 000
and there was "$420 million immediately in the first year"
So, by extension, the 2005 budget was 12 645 000 000?
Making 2006 with it's 400 million infusion, $13 045 000 000?
How's that logic look? |

| So I'm trying to analyze the Budget for school, and I'm having a hell of a time answering what I thought would be simple questions. Anyone know this? Or reputable (citable) on-line sources. 1) What was Canada's defence budget in 2005 (to create context for the C$400 million boost this year) 2) What ... |

| Poisson, your absolutly right. The numbers need to be at a minimum of 44% and better to even start thinking of a majority And to help with your figurin' and high stakes election night gambling, forget all about the national numbers, and go regional as much as possible. When good polls are done, reg... |

| Considering the number of polls available this one is to be disregarded. They did not only put off releasing it because of it's interesting results and the timing of the debate. If that was the case they would not have increased the sample to 'varify' their result. On a second point. The Toronto Sta... |

So now, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire script of the old school claymation Participaction Advertisement featuring the tortise and the hare. I know somebody out there knows what the heck I'm talking abo... |

Now you've really got me thinking about the truly important issues in the world, and how the U.S. always seems to be at the bottom of it. But help me out. ... |

| Okay, the latest ad (that I've seen) kinda creeps me out. It's for the new CT winter wiper blades. And the usual, normal character is lamenting his poor choice in blades when CT Guy ~puts his hand on his shoulder~ and offers to help. I'm not saying it's weird because he has extra blades of the right... |

| Just ask for help bone heads we want to help you.......again. I gotta say I disagree with this attitude. We want to help....again? Times of disaster and tragedy are not times for being smug or self absorbed. There is clearly a demand and Canada is in a place to offer supply. It is as simple as that... |

What does it mean when you're loading up a webpage (at work) and the image elements of the page remain empty save for the little square with a red 'x' in the corner of the image's space?
Is this a way for the computer to say, "too naughty?" or some-such arse? |

| I'm sure your city cousil feels all pro-active on the file. They did the same thing here in Ottawa. The law looks great on the books, but after about a day and a half, the cops will get bored and it will be 'same-old.' Bylaw enforcement officers won't go near it either (rightly so). The best is in O... |
