The first tep is to study rock formations to find the best potential areas. That is followed by aerial geo surveys that use electormagnetic waves to further qualify rock structures. Then you send in the prospectors to focus on the best potential sites.
lol It gets tedious explaining the obvious to the obviously ignorant, doesn't it? But sometimes it's just plain funny. :lol:
Yeah, and I'm less than a layman when it comes to a lot of subjects, mineral exploration and mining being at the top of that list. Until recently, I didn't think there was anyone around who would actually know less than me on the subject! :lol:

I'm an undecided voter - a free thinker unchained to anyone's vision of what is right for me. Come Election Day, I make my decision based on whose platform I disagree with the least. I don't buy into promise. It seems a more accurate picture comes from observation. In the past, I have voted for candidates in three national parties ... and one independent. Yes, I have been fooled too. Politicians don't get where they are by sharing harsh realities as much as they do by selling pie-in-the-sky. Sometimes, you have to read between the lines - especially near election time.
Psssssst....
Why do people keep arguing with this individual full of anal hot air...a good joke ......but not to be taken seriously....:hal

To put a twist on something Edison said, picking a good candidate is 10% inspiration and 90% research (into whether they are actually any good or not).
No political party has the exclusive rights to the knowledge of what is good for constituents. Acting like one does is sometimes pathetic, sometimes just hilarious, and sometimes both.
Well, it was The Liberals who proclaimed that the State has no business in the bedreooms of the nation. That is where I keep my guns, at least some of them;-). To me, privacy is privacy, Liberals talk out of both sides of their mouths. So far, the Conservatives haven't done that on the privacy issue, they still seem to believe your home is your castle.

I think PM Harper was being quite honest and straighforward with his forecast of deficits for the next few years. Mind you, he is Conservative so perhaps it will turn out better than what he's saying. Time will tell.
Good evening C B,
by the way this only a discussion I enjoy your interaction here on the cc.
2 years ego from no deficit to $100 Billion on the federal dept today is cause for alarm CB. Mulroney promised the same thing to the people and did the oposite we are still paying many years later.
I hope time doesn’t run out on Canadians as it did for the Americans looking at the Bush Republican (Conservative math) that is when time will really tell a story to Canadians like it did south of the border. Here in Canada Talking about a bad example of fiscal management waist $1.5 million on hotels booked and never used, $9000 a copy to fly first class, just one insedent when in fact $1000 would do the trick, MP junk mail waist of money to tell people lies in order TO MAINTAIN UNWARRANTED SUPPORT. I wander how much the Conservatives have cost the Canadian Taxpayer all togeather in the past two terms. I hope CB time will tell like it did for Bush and Mulroney, the Debt kings .. while millions lost business homes and families.:smile:

Good evening to you, Socrates...
Actually, the amount of the deficit is one thing, but I think all governments (that is, of any political stripe) have been guilty of spending too much taxpayers' money on too many things. During most of the recent election campaigns, they have all been falling all over themselves to make promises to "give us things" so we'll vote for them. I have a problem with that. A couple of elections back, it got to the point where it seemed like a contest to see who would "out-promise" who. It smacked of a bunch of hucksters at a cheap carnival.
I'm actually quite fed up with what I call "too much government." We seem to think that (more) government is the answer to all our problems, and then of course, when things go wrong, we can blame the government. I'm getting just a bit too old to put up with much more of this bullsh!t.
One of the hot issues of the day is jobs. We have screamed about loss of jobs (and with good reason, of course) and that the government should "do something about it." So out comes the stimulus money and it gets spent. And then we blame them for spending it. Gawd, I could never be a politician as I'd likely come out with something like, "So make up your goddamn minds. What the hell do you really want?" That likely wouldn't win me a lot of votes and yet, I'd love to see a leader actually do that someday, just for the theatrical impact of it.
I don't think it's up to the government to "create jobs." If they did, they would likely be unnecessary, unsustainable, or both. And they'd use our money to do it...who else's? No, their role in that area should be limited strictly to creating an environment that will allow jobs to be created. But, you can't turn that environment on and off like a television...lots of things have to occur to make that happen, and governments don't have the magic wands to make them happen all at once.
And, it seems more and more people love to take macro-economics and flog the hell out of it under a political banner. Taking the big view is OK as part of a thought process, but it ain't the whole thing. I think these big discussions about who did what in the past have some value, but perhaps a glimmer, at best. For every point someone raises about John Diefenbaker, someone else can raise and equal number plus one for Lester Pearson. And so on. I really don't see any movement forward by debating if one is a bigger a$$hole than the next one. It's fun to a point, but ultimately pointless.
I just wanted to share a bit of insight into my thought process but I apologize for being too long-winded, as usual.
I should end with this...yes, I like taking the odd potshot here and there too. I'm the first to admit it. And yes, I have "conservative" leanings I guess, in that I'm not in favour of a lot of big(ger) government, as I'm pretty convinced that isn't the answer to our future. Good government, for sure, but not bigger. I hope I'm still right in my belief that we have a lot of good, smart people in Canada that can decide what's best for them and their families, and are better equipped to make it happen. Better than any government, no matter who's in charge of it.
"No, their role in that area should be limited strictly to creating an environment that will allow jobs to be created".
Good point CB, I know that no political party will ever be free from criticism, being that as you said people are hard to please.
I f we could only see people in Ottawa who will go to work for the people will be a good day, and I know many politicians today they are Liberals and tomorrow the are in a different political ship, they all have ills, I just feel the guy with a strong math ability will allow me to put a blind eye on smaller issues. :smile:
