| The Aboriginals SHOULD take responsibility for themselves. By remaining dependent upon others, they will never improve their standard of living. In the 80's, my family helped a Vietnamese family (helping the Vietnamese boat people in the 80's was THE humanitarian cause of the moment). After a while,... |

| >> "I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but just to clairfy: . . . " Jade, it doesn't matter if you've said it before. Repeatedly saying something doesn't make it right. In this case, I disagree with you. Very rarely does government do anything more efficiently than the private sector. The ... |

| This thread is getting WAY off topic. Yes, the capital gains tax should be eliminated, as well as most of the rest of them. Any few that are left, should be kept to an absolute minimum. NOBODY should have to explain why they don't want to be hosed by the government. The onus is NOT on people to expl... |

| Returning to the original theme of this thread, the CRTC should be eliminated, their mandate removed, their funding halted, and their offices shut down. As far as I am concerned, they are just another make-work group--and a waste of tax dollars. Their claim for being--to protect Canadian culture--is... |

| Some threads are quite anti-American, yes, but I don't say the same for this thread. I consider this thread to be constructive criticism. Canada has hooked its cart onto America's star, and if people think they are being led into a crash, they are right to try to avert it. Sometimes that means being... |

In fact, here are a few good links, for anybody who is for free markets, small government, and individual freedoms (all American sources): The Sovereign Society LewRockwell.com The Futur... |

| >> Will the US Economy tank? Yes, I believe it will. In fact, it is already starting. America is too much in debt. The Chinese and Japanese hold a LOT of American debt, and if they decide to call in those loans, America is up the creek. American currency will collapse and so will the real esta... |

| >> Is Canada falling into the grips of stagnant socialism? Sadly, it looks that way. Worse, I don't see any change on the horizon. All the political parties yap about "moving toward the centre" without noticing that the centre has been moving left (i.e. - toward the acceptance and promotion of... |

| I can't resist adding my two cents to this thread too. I don't hate Americans either. However, I do resent the pressure from America to follow their lead all the time, especially considering America's turn down the road toward becoming a police state. This Homeland Security nonsense and Bush's tramp... |

| The gap between rich and poor depends upon the productivity of a society (Paretto's Principle). The more productive a society, the smaller the gap between rich and poor; the less productive a society, the larger the gap between rich and poor. Maybe my perception is off, but the gap between rich and ... |
