Do The Conservatives Deserve Another Chance?

[CDNBear]

In this case though, Avro is showing nothing short of anger and hostility towards unions. I'm pretty sure he's jealous. I'm thinking that maybe he was punted from a job on the assembly and the union wouldn't back him up. There's no indication he doesn't think there is a problem. On the contrary, it's clear he thinks there is and it's all the union's fault.

He said he was a member of CUPE...

Well I have been a full member of CUPE for over a decade and have never recieved one phone call or letter mail from them.....not once.

Now there you go... I was starting to soften towards Harper, and he had to open his mouth.

He just couldn't stop himself from blithering out the tripe-line of, "We have to make it so only parties backed by rich special-interest groups get to do campaign advertising".

Or maybe he could have stopped himself, but felt it necessary ever since his first and maybe only way to freak out the electorate failed, namely that of scaring people with images of a ghoulish coalition, by goading with the very same words triggering that drive by the Libs and NDP for a coalition in the first place.

Remember... Libs and NDP had never thought of coalition before. Canadian civilization and politics had been historically respectful.

Then Harper tossed the line leading to Ottawa having the same thriving rolling-door lobby industry as Washington.

That's when the Libs and NDP said, "Okay, that's so bad we can choose to agree to disagree and form a coalition to stop this evil turkey".

It's not like the Libs nor NDP are without resources such that they're uber-dependent on the campaign equalization funds.

It's because they like living here. They're all smart. Any of them could have bugged out to states long ago.

Do you think Jacko couldn't rise high in the US? I'd give him Chicago. Maybe Boston.

Iggy came back!

Harpo want's (or is being told to) make Ottawa run like Washington.

Those campaign equalization payments were NOT to let unknown lame-brained parties campaign, else you'd have the Rhinoceros party all over your face with hate ads about Mr. Peanut.

They were to PREVENT this:

Google

It's not that it would tip advertizing in favour of the Reformo-conservatives because they'll drop to their knees and blow corporations faster than the Libs can lick ass...

It's because it's one of those funny little laws that seems so relativly innocuous at the start, but which has *huge* repercussions if you follow the cause-and-effect chain.

Harpo was so smug when he said it. He was goading with an inside smile waiting to see what the reaction was going to be. He knows it's corrupt, which means he's not really for the country. I don't know who and/or what he's for, but it's not Canada.

Germany, which was a Johny-come-lately, having incorporated shortly before the USA, was on a fast-track to catch up with the rest of Europe in the 1800's.

The Kaiser of Germany started Europe's first public education system (and it's first welfare system). It didn't matter if you were from rich or poor... if you were smart, you got to go to school.

England was still a super-power at the time, and snooted down on the idea, stating in their pompous social gatherings, "Why should I pay to teach *other* people's children?"

Within a handful of decades, Germany overtook the rest of Europe as the core of European culture (not civilization... culture) such that it was spawning people like Max Planck, Einstein, Heisenberg ...

They had the best chemical industry, presented to them by an English Chemist snubbed by the British snoots because he discounted the credibility of experiments done in the hobby-labs of spoiled English aristobrats who gaining praise from purple-haired aunties by mixing vinegar with soda powder.

Kaiser Germany had the curious social structure of mixing monarchy with enlightenment, which was for the day as weird as mixing a government of communism with an economic order of free enterprise as is now seen in China... but it worked and it kicked ass and it lead to an insanely outrageous war because the outsiders of England, France and Russia did not know what they were looking at.

The point is, Harper wants to hammer Canada down to being under a snooty aristocracy (probably from NY), demolishing national defenses.

What does he get for it, other than payback for the time as a junior in the Liberal party they all pushed him around for being a dweeb?

So now he's like the Kaiser? I'll have to add that to the list of silly claims of yours.

Spending the day with my accountant (wife) and it looks like you union and lower income slobs owe me a thank you.

Frickin ridiculous.:roll:

I think I'm going to have to look at moving some money offshore.

 

[JLM]

Maybe while you are over there you can find a job and a house. :smile:

The only thing we owe you is a good smack....

Frickin ridiculous.:roll:

Yes you are, thank you for the admission. You are now on the path to being a better person.

I think I'm going to have to look at moving some money offshore.

Please ensure you do it illegally so we can send CCRA for a visit while you try to bail on your social responsibility in Canada. I might suggest you move yourself offshore and leave your money behind for the rest of us, then there would at least be a small benefit from your existence.

Is that derogatory tone a touch of self loathing?

Frickin ridiculous.:roll:

Quite.

Ya, and I just put in a bid on the ACC. Should make a neat addition to my list of assets.

Sorry if I don't support money being stolen from me.

Their are legal ways of moving income, plenty of them.

 

[PoliticalNick]

It is not being stolen, it is being legally liberated from your pocket.

Oh, you need a better accountant. I could put you in touch with a good one, but I'm not sure you could afford him.

 

[Avro]

My wife is pretty good, she was a controller of a corporation.

Socialist.

 

[CDNBear]

So was my Father, well, actually he was quite good at it. So he decided to go at it as a freelance fixer. If your company was struggling, he would find out where and fix it.

And he would think doing his own taxes, was stupid.

That's why we have accountants.

I'm still confused though. How is it you need to hide money offshore, when you're a CUPE member? I think we're paying CUPE members way to much money!

Isn't "CUPE" a Union, Avro? Hard to be squeaky clean when you are grovelling in the pig pen! :lol:

 

[Cannuck]

Isn't "CUPE" a Union, Avro? Hard to be squeaky clean when you are grovelling in the pig pen! :lol:

Since he's paying 150,000 in taxes every year, maybe he's right....union people are overpaid bums.

 

[Avro]

Isn't "CUPE" a Union, Avro? Hard to be squeaky clean when you are grovelling in the pig pen! :lol:

Yes, CUPE is a union.

What's your point?

Another union that steals from hard working tax payers.

Normally I don't take up a membership with an organization I detest. People less understanding than I may interpret it to be hypocritical. :smile:

So you like unions.

Makes sense since you owe your living to them.

You do too apparently...

Well I have been a full member of CUPE for over a decade and have never recieved one phone call or letter mail from them.....not once.

Did a union finally fire someone?

You?

 

[Omicron]

Yes, CUPE is a union.

What's your point?

Another union that steals from hard working tax payers.

Hmm... so you see yourself as hardworking, a taxpayer, and you hire union people.

Do you have competitors who don't have to hire union workers?

 

[DaSleeper]

In all seriousness, I'm not trolling here, honestly. I thought you had mentioned you were an engineer with the gov't. No?

As I might have mentioned to you last June in Tottenham, that since what a lot (not all) people claim to be in real life is B.S. I take a lot of what is writen with a "load" of salt....and for entertainment only
I'm either lucky, or, a good judge of character, but all those that I have agreed to meet, and they, in turn agreed to meet with me, were real people with the same qualities and faults as the people I meet around my home town.
Surprising what one can find out about people even before you meet them hey wot??

 

[Avro]

Hmm... so you see yourself as hardworking, a taxpayer, and you hire union people.

I don't hire union workers.

 

[CDNBear]

I don't hire union workers.

I guess you aren't in management, being in the union yourself.
