I thought you old people got a tax break at the register? Non?

You don't live on a res, the Status card is useless, unless you want to get a PO box on a res and be sneaky. Not my cup-o-tea.

Even the Bass Pro has signs at the register now, directing all 'tax exempt' purchases, to customer service. Where a well trained customer service rep, will ask for drivers licenses, to prove res residency, and eligibility.

The across the board tax exemption myth, is just that, a myth.
I only get a discount on coffee at McDonald and on thursdays at Shoppers drug Mart....
But when it comes to Natives...I see them hand their cards when they're in front of me at the check out...and they live in town....not in Moosenee.
I never asked anyone what the deal was....If they get something out of it ....good for them.

There's getting something out of it, then there's feeding the trolls and bigots.

There's also treaties for different Nations, that recognize treaty zones/territories. Cree is a Nation I know very little about, treaty wise.

Now that's an explanation I never thought of....when I first noticed it happening was a couple of years ago when they had that flood in the spring up north and they had a whole bunch of people in town and in Timmins.
But the ones that I see lately I have seen around town all winter......and we are close enough to Moosenee to be part of such a zone....makes sense.

'Skank TV' tag has Chow baring arms



TORONTO - Olivia Chow went sleeveless Thursday on Sun News Network to support female anchors at the new national station after they were called “skanks” by critics.

Chow and her husband, NDP Leader Jack Layton, were guests on The Roundtable hosted by Alex Pierson and Pat Bolland where they talked about Layton’s historic breakthrough in Quebec, with polls showing his party ahead of the separatist Bloc.

During a commercial break, Chow removed her jacket and finished the couple’s hour-long segment in a fashionable sleeveless top - similar to the outfits many of the female anchors wear, including Pierson.

Asked later why she took offer her jacket, the NDP candidate for the Trinity-Spadina riding in Toronto said she wanted to make a statement, to bring attention to why name-calling and derogatory attacks are among the reasons women stay away from politics.

“We need to elect more women in politics. It’s not what they wear that matters - it’s the ideas they bring forward.”

The NDP can boast that 40% of its candidates this election are women - a Canadian record and the most of all parties.

Avro in his feeble effort to denigrate Ezra Levant puked this:

"Douche can't even start his own chainsaw".

I venture to guess that nobody would run faster from a chainsaw than Avro. After it was started by someone else, of course!

He would probably call Stephen Hawkings, Barrack Obama, Jack Layton and Lindsay Lohan "DOUCHE" because they could not start a chain saw. At least I presume they could not, although any and all of them would probably could, better than Avro.

I don't even care about the chainsaw thing. It was the blatant pandering to the Sun conservative demographic that I thought was hilarious. I'm sure they have a legion of drones that actually believe this is 'off the cuff' or 'edgy'.

I can't wait for the episode where he makes fun of Jesus.

Oh wait, that will never happen because the Sun is just too edgy. ;)

In fairness, how edgy do you really have to (or want to) be when over 90% of your viewers have their pants pulled up to their armpits. If they had somebody like Elvira Kurt as a guest, they might lose a quarter of their audience due to stroke.

Ezra Levant is Jewish, but he will never make fun of Jesus, because he is not an atheist scumbag.

Pardon the redundancy!

Yes, as interesting as Jersey shore..

I like how he takes a perfectly acceptable and good premise - freedom of speech, and then he will use that as an anchor to try and indoctrinate you with his hate campaign.

Pardon the redundancy!

When he does it to muslims - 'good for him'. If he did it to christians, he's a scumbag.

If he's truly a free speechist, I'm sure he would have no problem ragging on everyone. He's just not getting paid enough for that level of free speechin'.

I am sure Ezra Levant will adopt your false equivalency right after Christians fly two jetliners full of people into skyscrapers yelling "Jesus Is Great".

Crusades???? Are you for real, digging up events over a thousand years ago?

OK, if you want to go to ancient history, let me tell you about the Ottoman (Muslim) invasion of my old country, along with a large portion of Europe. Never mind, look it up yourself.

Let me know when Ezra Levant utters a single sound that is not the truth.

Northern Ontario,
YukonJack: You're wasting your time trying to instil common sense in immature progressive sheeple....I usually get bored with them after just a few posts....but there is nothing good on TV right now....they are talking about Jack Layton and his push for cap and trade.....That's what we'll see if he wins by coalition...... all the turkeys(old pipeline term for union welders who stopped working when they saw one raindrop on the pipe) in this forum will be happy......

"It's okay big guy.. Don't get so offended. It's just free speech."

I am NOT offended. Being OFFENDED is strictly a liberal trait. I have learned in Kindergarten that sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me. Liberals are the ones who cry and report when somebody calls them idiots, even when they know fully well, themselves, that they are idiots, but too much of idiots to realize it.

You'll never hear me preach about free speech. I practice it, honour it and let liberal preach about it.
