People will always find a justification to kill. Religion is just one.

The government has not many good decisions this year - in respect to telecom. This is the only one so far that I can think of :eek:

^ Also, how much of the call centre work is already done overseas by Bell and maybe Rogers?

^ Wondered where the plan went, the best "value" plan is 5GB for $85 plus $30/GB after.

If I were going to be in Canada, I would go for Wind (have no cell phone right now), the $35 data unlimited includes tethering (total $80 for phone unlimited, data unlimited, tethering). For mobil internet (no phone) Rogers is charging $65 for max 3GB, + $30 / GB after that.

This was mentioned earlier, when you hear that huge profit that they "made" - they include the taxes related to alcohol. The actual profit (without the taxes) is actually quite small. Private companies of course can't play games like that when reporting numbers (of course the tax would not be...

Change is the only true constant; embrace change and your the better for it; fear it and you will never grow.

One of the best things about Toronto is that it is a "jumble". Diversity has made Toronto one of the better cities to live in. When I was growing up I really did not like the idea of moving to Toronto (or staying where I was) because it was bland and uninteresting. I would have preferred to...

You shoot it :eek:

ahhh, a classic....

Yes, but the disposable cups they give you are so small - you should bring your own coffee mug :eek:

Canada allows wireless carrier Globalive OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement said on Friday the government will allow wireless start-up Globalive to operate in Canada, overturning an earlier regulatory ruling that denied the company a license. Clement said that...

Asking immigrants to completely leave their culture and history behind and totally assimilate completely into the local culture (i.e. single citizenship, denunciation of any other citizenship) is really asking them to lie. Most people, even if totally committed, cannot suddenly change who they...

I found the UK a great place to visit, but it was not my favourite to live in. It was nice being a few minutes away from the Eurostar train to Paris though :rolleyes: Trying out Thailand as an expat next year (actually Dec 23rd).

I would have to say it was not inadvertently, just an assumption that mortgages they would transfer would be non-performing.... if they are performing.... then it is even less of an issue since it is no different than buying performing mortgages (or securities) on the open market :rolleyes...

Actually, I was surprised to find out that CMHC insured mortgages are 100% insured - not the 20% insured (houses bought when you don't have the 20% downpayment at time of purchase). (assuming what I was told is correct). This means that non-performing loans that are CMHC insured sitting on...

Well, you are comparing countries based on where Canada is strong :rolleyes: Working abroad; Canada tops global expats survey of best countries

I think you are reading too much into it - it is not racism - that is too easily tossed around .... it has more to do with the fact that the award is awarded by politicians (left leaning generally) of Sweden. It has to do more with familiarity, news, etc. I doubt they are consciously saying -...

Well you dumbed it down alright, now totally understand what you are saying and it is, as you said, really dumb :rolleyes: It is not a language problem, your logic is flawed. Individual A and Country of A are not equal or equivalent - leaving a big logic hole that other people are falling...

I would like them rotate the image on the bill to give recognition to those that merit recognition (like Terry Fox etc) for actions that they took in life, or people awarded the Victoria Cross etc. Basically, people that we can look up to - no polititians!
