BartSimpson BartSimpson: Go get a credit card and spend your way out of poverty and see how long that can last.
Why am I hearing echoes of the eighties and early nineties when Canada was an honorary member of the third world? |

Strutz Strutz: Good to know. 
FWIW, it brings me no joy to say that. The last five years have demonstrated how ugly this nation is under the friendly exterior and how its people would rather live a lie than face reality. |

| I will paraphrase Batman from Batman Begins , "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you." Unless they are a blood relation or friend, I find it increasingly impossible to give more than two shits about the denizens of British Columbia and Central Canada. If you act like self-righteou... |

| And BTW there's more heavy fuel-consumption vehicle (aka pickups and SUVs) being sold per capita these days in southern Ontario and Quebec than there is in the West. Kind of irresponsible for them to be spending their money on luxuries, eh, instead of saving for a rainy day, 'nomesayin'. Guess they... |

| And yet we always get the sneering "why don't Albertans stop voting Conservative" from those elsewhere who keep voting Liberal through thick-and-thin. Or, if they're in a mood for a change, go and vote for an increasingly radical and demented federal NDP. I guess it's in the Canadian char... |

| I'm not that surprised either. I suspect that profitability was the bigger issue because Teck is a corporation and their responsibility is to the shareholders if they are a publicly-traded company. The timing leads me to believe that the blockades in Ontario and Quebec played a bigger role than they... |

PluggyRug PluggyRug: Does that doll have a script?
Of course.
Also, it's her father that controls her social media accounts so it's most likely him that is writing those tweet. Poor Greta. Exploited by movement that her discard her once the public gets tired of her. |

My favorite is currently Flash because I have loved the character and the lore since I read my Mom's comics from the sixties; Josh Williamson's run as been stellar so far and building on the foundations of earlier writers like Geoff Johns and Mark Waid.

| I really only seriously follow Garth Ennis now. His version of The Punisher, and then The Boys giving the superhero genre the slap across it's face that it always deserved, were the most refreshing hero stories I'd read in years. And his horror stories are usually genuinely disturbing. I can only f... |
