Hi DJL. I found that a bit confusing too. It wasn't my quote. I think the person was trying to say that Canada doesn't always have to make everything itself, because families buy things, they don't make everything themselves.

www.comer.org is not a fringe site--Paul Hellyer is well-known militarily I assume you know, and he also has written many books on economics. That being said, you won't find the truth on a bank web site. Except the Bank of Canada web site: The Bank of Canada was created to be the sole...

The rich don't invest money in our economy, our foreign investment is mostly resource-company takeovers, well over 10,000 since the FTA was signed. (even Tim Horton's) As for economics, they will never work the way they are designed. The debt was designed so we wouldn't be able to pay it...

Your "higher-education" in neo-classical economics won't help you here. During Worl War II, Canada's government DID intervene in the banking system, as our Bank of Canada, naionalized in 1938, forced private banks to increase their reserve holdings, and created nearly interest-free loans to pay...

Find a girlfriend, yeah yeah alright...... :-* :-*

It's the most-read newspaper in Canada, with a circulation of 600,000 copies a day.....at least they are open-minded.

I don't have volumes of military knowledge.....that's why I came here. If, as those links I provided in the other thread show, our political elites are negotiating to attempt to assimilate our armed forces, I think people have to know this stuff. The most poweful business lobby in Canada is...

I didn't mean to glamourize other countries, or the treaties..... I realize that the U.S. will do what it wants on this issue. My main concern is that it will be used as an excuse to put our army and navy under U.S. command at NORAD. I don't have the link handy, but I recall that some dispute...

I wish we weren't a satellite country, but I can't find a reason that we aren't, although we are big and still have some independence politically. The media does often misrepresent figures of Canada-U.S. trade, but here's a statistic that should blow people's minds: 50% of Canadian export to...

History never ends. Here's a quotation I like, and I can't find who actually said it: "There are basically three types of people: people who make things happen, people who watch things happen, and people who wonder what happened."

Nothing on the links provided gave any indication the poll was a Toronto poll. It was a Canadian-wide poll, the council of Canadians have chapters across the country, and other polling companies would probably not risk their reputation by lying about how they conduct their polls. Is there a...

Here is an interesting link I found that may prove that missile defence is an offensive system to dominate space.           www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usspac/visbook.pdf I'm not usually a fan of blanket "peace" sites, but this one has some important links...

Of course he supports "Universal healthcare", as do most Canadians......he wants to WIN the elction, right? ;D www.stephenharpersaid.ca/index.html

It's not easy to find anymore, but even the Toronto Star reported it as a U.S. coup. I of course can't prove it--wasn't there.....this being said, it's not a new concept for a superpower to manipulate a foreign election, is it?

I can't explain exactly why I don't like either of them, because they are great writers....I find them a bit dismissive of Canadian achievements....Granatstein at least definitely sides in favour with the empires even time I've read anything by him.....unless there were a Canadian empire, I...

What is it you don't like about the Impala for a patrol car? Is it the front wheel drive?

It's sad that the army, navy and air force are forced to argue amongst themselves for bread crumbs....that being said, isn't dropping troop levels in our army the biggest threat to our security? Also, I don't see how another country would be legally obliged to defend anything, no matter how...

I'm not a protestor, but are you suggesting that 5000 hippie protestors in Ottawa represent over 24 million people (83%) of our population? Come on. You don't have to be a radical to disagree.

What I don't understand, is how is the Council of Canadians and the BBC a conspiracy theory? What about Ipsos-Reid and Ekos? Are they conspiring to turn Canadians into evil lefties? >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I live in Toronto, take the subway and read books. Most Canadians don't own SUVs. I think sex is about where the parallels with other people ends.
