Digging around I learned that Canada is partial owners in some interesting companies. For instance CBC owns 40% of what we all perceive to be the privately-owned the Sirrius Satellite Radio business in Canada.

Fabian socialism is cool when your Consrvative Govt. is hush hush about it.

When I've accomplished my goals I hope to someday be able to avoid all this paper and sample shuffle and say soyonara to the postman and couriers once and for good but in the meantime I'm going to use the system that works the best for the least amount of money.

Dogs were away ahead of humans despising postmen, especially unionized ones.

Ooops, aren't all of them unionized?

Yeah, the Sirius thing is kinda funny.

Rottweiler Local No 333?

Too funny. Purolator just showed up. Now I'm free until 4:30 when UPS finally makes their way round.

Have you ever had them show up at the same time? Talk about uncomfortable. It's like having hubby get back from work before your boyfriend is done.

Here at the office, we often have more than one courier arrive at the same time, but they pretty much all know each other, and they're all nice people...the Purolator guy has been on this route since 1987.

All are usually consistant except for DHL. They'll show up anywhere between 8AM and 6:30PM.

Thanks YukonJack, I try. Also, just FYI, I could care less how often we disagree about politics, religion, etc. I show up for discussion, and don't begrudge people for giving me what I ask for.

At the risk of being called a copy cat, let me say that I also try. Doing so, I offend some, encourage and boost more. Politics or otherwise.

Is it not what public forums supposed to be all about?

Too bad, there are far too many of those who have NO sense of humour.

And just as an opinion, I think that if there were more people with a sense of humour, there would be fewer bannings from this forum.

Manufacturing jobs, due to unrealistic demands by unions, have been outsourced to China and India and elsewhere. The Postal service should be outsourced to oblivion.

Curious then how Germany and Japan have strong manufacturing industries, with trade surpluses, and with far more union presence. Germans even get six weeks of vacation a year. What is the difference?

Let me say that I agree completely with you.

I only wish that you had a better sense of humour, you take offense very easily.

Whatever it takes in self-defense.

My sense of humor is impeccable. My skin is thick, I must confess, though, that I am not and never wish to be and never will be politically correct.
