| My business trip farther north has been cancelled. Didn't record the name of the town, but somewhere in northern Manitoba. On one hand I only get paid when there's work. On the other hand, it's damn cold! |

| Am I the only one that sees the similarities? Starfleet logo is based on the NASA logo. Star Trek aired from 1966-1969, the race to the Moon ran from JFK's speech in 1961 to Apollo 11 in 1969. Not a coincidence. Star Trek made people more interested in NASA, and every time NASA did anything it incr... |

| Laidlaw used to have the contract to collect curb-side recycling in Winnipeg. That was when we had blue boxes. A different company got the contract, then we got the big bins. Laidlaw hand sorted recyclables at the curb-side into glass, plastic, metal, and paper. Now they just dump everything into a ... |

| Short answer: No. Your profile doesn't say where you live. This is what the city of Winnipeg accepts for recycling... Winnipeg: What can I recycle? 2. What items can't I put in my recycling cart? Plastic ⋅ plastic bags , plastic wrap, cellophane ⋅ plastics that are not a contain... |

| Defecit means government spent money in the current year that it didn’t collect from taxpayers in the current year. So you're saying future generations pay for benefits you get today. Past generations did that, which is why we have the mess we're in. You realize income tax was created as a temporar... |

| if the government has run a defecit, it means they spent money that taxpayers DIDNT pay for; If the taxpayers had paid for it, there would be no deficit. Wrong. Deficit means the government spends more money than it has. Debt is the accumulation of deficits. Who do you think will pay for that debt?... |

| Mulroney era demonstrated how high taxes can get. As for Mulroney himself...you believe what you want. Mulroney made a preemptive lawsuit that prevented the RCMP from completing their investigation. Smart tactic. But winning a lawsuit doesn't mean he was innocent.

Now it's called banking, short-term shareholder profit, and corporate welfare. Yes, they will steal money from taxpayers. ... |
