Gap is not the issue, the issue is only making sure that those that are poor are not destitute, and have the opportunity to pull themselves up (i.e. education). Besides if there is no poor, then I will never be able to afford the maid I want :p

1st step is to replace the entry/exit system to match what most major cities in other parts of the world have, once that is done then they could put up Eglinton line for bid where the winning bidder has the ability to build, run, and set prices for the next 30 years.

I don't envy Obama with any decision that he would have made.... it is not a simple problem....

#1, the problem here is that we have treated Afghanistan as if it is a country..... it is not.... it is a bunch of tribes that were brought by force under an administration. The current government is corrupt. Now, remember the US was not occupying them and they were used as a staging ground...

I had seen it almost yearly for most of the last decade :p

You know, you think of these buildings of monstrosities..... but the picture above (I remember it a little different now)..... that buildings is just around the corner from where I live now...... and it is wrapped in a shroud (dust) and is being demolished now..... It had become almost like a...

I would agree with you on Palin, but Glen Beck is more Libertarian than you give him credit for.... He is definately NOT a neo-conservative.... In fact, although he on said that he is not against gay marriage (which a neo-con would typically not say - except for maybe Cheney (but that is for...

That is on the table - but it is not necessarily what will be in the final agreement. My guess it will be a level just short of EU type - not free movement, but free movement for purposes of services including work (i.e. you will have to get a work permit - but that would only require an offer...

I was, and I am still hopeful that this will come fruition - but - I also want Canada to actively pursue a FTA with ASEAN.... we have been pretty slow in this area .... specifically .... Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand (since I am currently residing there right now).

Ummm, feed a family - you know a living family - not worrying about one dead body. I know - it is just "pocket change" but that is why there never seems to be enough money - it is just x, it is not very much and then after doing that over and over all over the place - costs increase on an order...

Stupid, the government should not be responsible for this sort of stuff. We have a shortage of funds, a transit system that needs investment, education that they are responsible for, etc. etc. etc. They should focus on what they are responsible for....

The most important thing that government (in this case it would be the provinces/city responsibility) is to give everyone an opportunity - and what they do with that is up to them (there are of course always special situations - such as those that are mentally handicapped). What I am talking...

Well, any protest group is not going to represent just one group (no different on the left). From what I have been about to figure out, the majority of those that make up the protest movement (so called constitutional conservatism) are more libertarian..... which is closer to what my politics...

Do you think the majority of the first, or the second or the third, etc. generation came for the "culture"? do you think they completely abandoned their culture? No, lets face it most immigrants came here because they did not have the opportunity at home. I mean if you had a good life, money...

It is just simple science here.... you cannot impact/effect others without impacting/affecting oneself :o i.e. Each immigrant will be changed (little or a lot) culturally when he immigrates, but Canada changes as well. Accept that the only constant in life is change, and you will grow, reject...

The policy is stupid, why should the government pay more than private for the same work (i.e. market wages).

Luckily the us vs. them attitude in the political class is mostly limited to politicians and their spinners. It is the problem that happens when only a minority actually vote, the parties move away from the centre to motivating only their base. Most all people file taxes, and the federal tax...

Athiest and Agnostic are completely different positions, one believes in god, one does not.

So Morals came from people? There is nothing more? There is no right or wrong, just learned behaviour? Are morals genetic? If so, we are in deep trouble if we ever come into contact with beings from another planet/realm.... There seems to be a core set of morals that seem to be across...

I see many viewpoints here, but a lot of them come from very rigid doctrines. There is God, which many interpret to be God as defined by Christian theology/doctrin. I have said before I am not a Christian, but I do not deny the existence of God. I also do not deny the observations in respect...
