| I couldn't find the part in the bill that says foreigners can be paid less. From what I saw they're subject to the Labour Code like the rest of us. If anyone knows what section of Bill C-38 it's in, please give me a heads up. I'll locate it, in the meantime here's a link to a Globe article that ref... |

| Wow, where to begin, well I'll start by saying the 'inflammatory', insulting, derogatory part of your statement about Spoonfeeding... Dino, did I call you an IDIOT for your completely and utterly false statement about Mulcair never setting foot in Alberta? No I did not, I corrected the record in a r... |

| Oh how I wish there was enough time in the day to respond to everything. The ability to pay 15% less is being proposed as part of the Omnibus Budget Bill. As for my comment about the American Executive, well that was said within my earshot while I was working on site in Northern Alberta. I did say I... |

| Ahhh Ezra, boy don't I love it every time he opens his mouth. "Belief in Industry" indeed. He does seem to conveniently ignore the fact that building upgraders, refineries and pipelines within Canada will create a lot more Canadian industrial jobs then pipelines to ship our RAW bitumen to ... |

| Hey everyone, its been a little while since I posted, but in this case I just couldn't resist. It should be noted even though they had troubles getting the exact details right the Conservatives were making reference to J.S. Woodsworth who was a pacifist. Every other CCF MP voted in favour of going t... |

| Hey Eureka, as far as the Conservatives are concerned if something was a part of their election platform that's enough and all the debate there should be. That because they got a majority of MP's (with the confidence of 39% of the voters) they get to pass everything they want, with as little scrutin... |

| One may note that almost one-third of MPs have never debated these issues in the House of Common Given the "impressive" attendance record of various MPs from all parties, I don't find this statement all that shocking. The quote does entirely speak to the fact that while many of the bills ... |

| Dear Canadaka.net members, This summer was very difficult for all New Democrats. Jack Layton's death truly touched Canadians from coast to coast. The outpouring of support our caucus and party has received has been overwhelming. As New Democrats, we continue to be inspired by Jack's legacy. One way ... |

| In regards to the interm leader choice, from what I heard, his choice was an attempt on his part to avoid a possible power struggle between the other leading candidates and thus, to avoid showing some level of favouritism & maintain stability within the party for the time being. Pretty wise in ... |

| I will be sure to pass along all the well wishes to Jack. You can of course as mentioned above send a get well Jack message through the NDP site. The party also changed its donate link to one directing you to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society. Regarding Jack's condition or his choice for Interim... |

| Where to even begin. First off I have to resist my temptation do deal with every point raised on here. But here's a crack at a few. Firstly NDP governments do overall statistically have a better track record of balanced budgets then those of other parties. Yes it is a smaller sample size which skews... |

I will of course do my best. My family has called the area home for 80 years and I have four generations of family still in the riding.
So there's a vested interest in doing a good job too!
Which area were you in "On the ice"? |
