| What part of "HELL NO" doesn't anybody understand. The US can damn well make better use of their own resources. Joe_Stalin is obviously quite tired of living in Canada and supporting our values. Well joe, you know where the border is, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Or you ... |

| It's almost like sasquatch2's trolling a bit;).... As for the inefficiency of crown corporations... If anybody has ever worked in the public and private sector the margin isn't as wide as one might think. There is plenty of corruption, mismanagement, inefficiency, poor planning, nepotism, underbudge... |

| As someone in the edmonton market I can substantiate the rental claims of 1200 clams for a 2 bedroom suite in run of the mill housing. Rental increases were restricted to once a year and mine is going up a whopping 27% in Feb. Not a happy new year - needless to say I'm bailing on that place. As for ... |

| As for the initial post I'd say it's better than what I had, but then I didn't study much in the way of Arts. I'd say that we should try being at least bilingual, and maybe trilingual. The rather shamefull realization that most Canucks speak 1 language was driven home when I started travelling and m... |

| I don't think the idea of the CWB is a bad one. The execution, well... The concept that Canada can stand toe to toe with foreign agricultural producers is crap. The subsidies the US/Euro farmers recieve in the form of "insurance" and anything else they can come up with would result in de f... |

| I'm in with Lily. The HA commit murder, sell drugs, and are responsible for extortion, money laundering, bombings, intimidation and just about any other crime you can think of. What gets me is why they haven't been labelled a terrorist organization? They commit the same acts as the IRA used to, just... |

| These guys missed a crucial point - bugs. Warmer winters have allowed the spruce budworm and pine beetle to do significant damage to stocks for sawmills. When it takes 80 years to get a tree you can saw into boards for profit this spells the end for employment in many small communities. Estimates pl... |

| Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I do know that security in airports has been ramped up a bit in the past few years (or am I making an understatement?). Violent people are dealt with aggressively due to the latent fear most people have about terrorism and airplanes, not to mention violen... |

| Arg, this again. The simple fact is that it won't happen, and there's really not much of a point in trying. This is because no matter how much money it would generate in tax dollars it would slow traffic at the border far too much. Since hundreds of millions of dollars a day crosses back and forth i... |
