It is just a piece of Conservative propaganda, Socrates. I wouldn't attach any more importance to it. Practically all the private members' bill die without getting passed.
Liberal phobia and the cause….

It is a challenge of patience to point out facts to you and have some of them stick, but I'm trying to be charitable and tolerant. Let's try again...prospectors don't dig up huge areas of land. That only happens after the evaluations of the area are done, and that requires the prospectors as well as geologists, diamond drillers, and others to get that done. Still no huge areas of land dug up at that point, the number of jobs increases as the evaluation activities unfold.
After a lot of testing and evaluation (including environmental impact studies, which can take up to 10 years), there might be a decision to establish a mine at some particular location. Then some serious digging can take place, but it's not an indiscriminate excavation of huge tracts of land...that doesn't make economic sense. It takes serious money to dig up large areas of land.
Once the mine is established, more jobs and spin-off economic activities kick in and that can result in the creation of thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
Of course, your leftist extreme Liberal bleating and screeching started as soon as you heard the word "mining", and that pretty much shut off your thinking process which might have prompted you to think about the subject in a bit more detail in order to come to a sensible and informed opinion on it.
I do apologize for making the mistake of assuming that you actually knew something about the subject which we were discussing. Had I realized that you knew absolutely nothing about it (beyond knowing the current price of gold and the correct spelling of the word "mining"), I would have taken the time to briefly outline how mining works. Mind you, I'm no expert on the subject but I suspect that I have a somewhat more detailed grasp of it than you.
All this - includng your "parting shot" at the end of your post above - is just another piece of evidence that there are valid reasons for the very dangerous and disturbing condition known as "Liberal phobia."
Conservative propoganda? I thought Brampton Ruby and Bumblin' Bob were members of the Liberal party.
Countryboy: That's what you call liberal spin coming from the Horse pucky spinner himself:lol::lol::lol:
Didn't Ruby generate that bill in the first place?
And "spawns of the devil" is a harsh way to generalize about any group of people. You should show a bit more tolerance in criticizing your party of choice. I certainly don't think of them that way, but I guess I would have to defer to your opinion as you know more about them than I ever would.
I just considered them to be misguided on some subjects.
Countryboy: I've come to the conclusion....way back...that no one could spew all that blather and believe it.....and in such a case a person would have to be a Troll which is why I don't argue with him and selectively ignore him unless I'm bored and want a good laugh:lol:
What’s up with the judge letting Jaffer off on the cocaine charge?:angryfire::angryfire::angryfire:
Had a Liberal been caught with cocaine and driving drunk , would have he gotten off?
CTV Edmonton - Jaffer court case sparks outrage across Canada
That would depend on how big the bribe was.
I guess LW is at work looking to balance between Liberals and Cons:smile:
No guessing involved. One is as bad as the other and anyone who believes differently has some gullibility issues to work on.
No gullibility here my friend,:lol:
The Cons are mean and have no business in my bedroom, my pocket, or my life.
I detest any goof who will preach to me morality and fiscal prudence and they turn out to do the opposite. No gullibility in these issues LW.:lol:
You have Cons in your bedroom? Were the Libs any better in bed?
They're all the same.... Good intentions ... better lies ... fleece the people ... get rich, guy....
Quite so, DS. I'm with ya' for sure. I decided to get into it lately because it's been a long winter and I'm trying to brighten my outlook on life in preparation for spring time. So far, it's working quite well.
Conservative crap is the name and Fiscal prudence is the game, as I said before the devil that can count and be fiscally responsible is my main attribute I look in a politician.
The guy that says let me in to clean the mess and fs it up totally, I want nothing to do with him.
This is about the common man surviving in a bad economy, not to get paid $300.000 as a PM and fk things up totally adding to the federal debt $100 Billion and counting.
While at first let us get in to clean and now Harper tells the Canadian people WE WILL BE RUNNING DEFICITS FOR THE NEXT 7 - 8 YEARS, one thing he did not say was, if we are here or not.
Its nice to compare Elephants with pelicans.

No you don't dig up anything until you've examined all clues as to where the ore may be, I know very little myself, but a couple of important clues are land forms and rock formations after studying those then there is the seismograph and after doing that you might drill a few test holes- all the above can be accomplished without doing any environmental damage.
You still haven't explained how half a dozen prospectors are going to prospect the entire Canadian Shield.
We have discussed the HRC's to great length in the past, you have defended their existance even while they are an abomination to fundamental justice.
Out of fairness S.J. it was I who first mentioned the half dozen prospectors (hoping to be granted a bit of leeway) , I commented further in a previous post- just so you don't get the idea they are going to be turning over a 1/2 million square miles with pick and a shovel. I'll give you one more hint - you should pay a little closer attn. to Countryboy- he's a pretty versatile guy with a few smarts and some common sense to go with the smarts. Knowledge is most obtainable, when all the accesses are kept open.
