I don't buy it, they include money that the banks get from the Bank of Canada. The banks ALWAYS borrow money from the Bank of Canada, where do they think the new money comes from? The Bank of Canada prints off money and lends it to the banks, the banks then turn around and lend it to consumers and b... |

I'm more surprised that 1/3rd of the cities passed. What is the requirement? Be able to see the top of a building from the ground? |

An uprising would be the best thing to ever happen to this country. Uprising starts, Canadians finally get to vote on Indian Act. Indian Act and all reference to it removed from Constitution. No more special rights, everyone equal. |

Canada spends 11% of our federal budget on debt. So if we pay off our debt that means we have an extra 11% to... |

Yeah, benefits for married parents and one staying at home to raise kids is just evil. Such a family situation should be outlawed. I disagree, why should a person be forced to work when their spouse makes enough money to support them both and their children? Believe it or not there are many people ... |

I do not hold high hopes for the middle east. These protest and overthrows while some people think they are great i fear will simply put Islamic governments into power. |

Absolutely not! Its time to cut the redundant cord of a useless institution that has no current value to Canada. Even Brits will tell you they are figure heads and only good for tourism. Funny cause most British people i know love the Queen, and i know a fair amount of people from the UK. I support |

Korben, if that were true, why do they hold a minority government? You are grossly misinformed. Individually, the other parties have less support than the Conservatives, but combined they are supported by the majority of Canadians. It's a simple math equation: The Conservatives hold 143 seats.

Polls also suggest that the Conservatives have more support from Canadians than other parties. So if the Conservative Party has more support than the other parties that must mean that the other parties are even more out of touch. |
