| Ok, I have to quote what one person on the street stated a few months ago when asked about the Rob Ford allegations: "If I have to choose between someone who has broken the law and someone who wastes my tax dollars I will choose the first person every time". I think this is the prevailing ... |

| shockedcanadian, DrCaleb wasn't attacking you. I wouldn't take it as an attack, though I did misconstrue his opinion. I find Caleb more thoughtful and objective than most on this site, so I wouldn't take offense to such a comment from him regardless. Here is the fact, CSE (now CSES) has the capabil... |

| I didn't report this, CBC did, I am simply posting it to make others aware, reaching maybe 30 million fewer people than CBC has reached with this story and the follow-up interviews. I say let's see what else they are hiding if these institutions are based on law and order. The lack of oversight is f... |

| Every single day a new story. Something funded and/or paid for by taxpayers and we cannot see the results due to "safety". Why is this uniform and blanket secrecy so prevalent in Canada, furthermore, why doesn't any politician speak out on it? WHy aren't laws being put into place that demand transpa... |

They're all scum but, it seems the media seems intent to only parade the Conservatives around the town square before pillorying them. Gregory Thomas, federal director of the Cana... |

| They're constrained by the sense of due process under the charter, unless they say they don't care about due process and they don't care about the Charter of Rights, and that they can do what they want," said O'Sullivan. "Do you know what that means? That means that what we have here is t... |

Now that MP's are experiencing what some Canadians have experienced (guilty without charges or due process) maybe there will be changes to our d... |

| The agreement will mean that a much higher amount of these items will be allowed into Canada free of tariffs. Ultimately the consumer will determine how much that amount will be, it doesn't mean the maximum amount will be hit nor that the marketplace will even see it as profitable to increase produc... |

| So, you're advocating free trade while encouraging Canadians to buy domestic only? You think we should be exporters but not importers? Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. I am suggesting it is better for Canada to be an exporting nation rather than an importing nation yes of course... |

| I disagree Lemmy. It hurts Canadian consumers if they are purchasing foreign goods, and importers. It hurts them if they are traveling and require foreign currency to support their travel and purchases. It does not hurt the purchase of domestically manufactured goods. It also benefits the exporter a... |
