You know, the conservatives are a smart lot when it comes to their personal and corporate money. When they do things that aren't in the interest of Americans, but quite resourceful for themselves, they point to the acceptance and benefits of globalization. When Americans want something nationalized for the betterment of more Americans the Cons counter it with the state-run founding fathers argument.
You knew the same applies to Provinces?

Yup.

Have you paid attention to what people on the east coast are bitching about? Things they could have taken a care of on their own IF they prepared instead of relying on the Gov and they want they those VISA gift cards to buy cheeseburgers OR ELSE!

It's ****ing disgusting.

Hey Petros... the east coasters are saying... "where are our visa cards and federally funded vacations to Cape Cod?". They saw what happened during Katrina... heck they paid for it! Now they want their VISA cards! Can you blame them?

No doubt there's probably some who could have fended better for themselves like filling the bath tub with water and bringing in a few cases of canned goods, but there are a hell of a lot who all of a sudden found their home resembling a pile of match sticks. Not everyone is in the position to just go out and buy a generator, if there were even any left for sale a week before the hurricane hit.

How did you manage to dig yourself or your family out of the wreckage?
It as my sis and we used the tractor bucket and chain to move the wall unit. Emergency services couldn't get there because of flooding. The old man paid out of pocket for a hotel for six weeks while repairs took place. Not one single penny or cheeseburger came from the Govt and it took two years before insurance settled up.

How many urban people do you think own tractors?

Where are the VISA cards! Bush and his Feds gave Katrina victms VISA cards, free flights to cool places, and hotel rooms! They could use those cash cards on whatever they wanted.

Obama clearly doesn't know how to run a natural disaster. We should be serving booze and sending strippers to New Jersians hotel rooms at this very moment!

Exactly, these community organizers are out of their league when it comes to inter-state stripper parties.

Between myself and my neghbours I can think of three of us who have block and tackles and come alongs.

How many urban people have rope/wire and a pulley on their clothesline?
In Vancouver? Only the dominatrix community.

Thats BULL! Heck if you were a "victim" and Bush hated you, why you would have been sitting in a 5 Star hotel in Manhatten free of charge while things got sorted out.

I always thought Bush couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery. Maybe I was wrong.

Perhaps... but Obama has missed tens of thousands.

Sandy victims....

Where are their VISA cards? Where are their strippers? Where are their rescue flights to Cape Cod? Where are their cab rides to the liquor stores from their hotel rooms?

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!
