For what?

Interrogation and dental work followed by heavy weight boxing lessons. Then a trial.


In the past year, we have extensively profiled the collapse of ground zero of Canada's oil industry as a result of the plunge in the price of oil. Since then it has only gotten far worse. As Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute points out, in a report from the Financial Post shows that Calgary in Alberta Canada now has 1.7 million square feet of empty office space, the most in North America with another 5.2 million under construction! But that's just the beginning, because for many recent millionaires, the real cash crunch has finally arrived which means business is thriving for at least one industry: pawn shops.

Lots of clever wording...

NDP:The NDP says it won’t touch personal income taxes and will cut the small-business tax rate to 9 per cent within two years. The NDP would raise the corporate tax rate
Very very few businesses aren't incorporated. It would be retarded not to have incorporated years ago so who will really save? Avon ladies? Babysitters? Piano teachers?

With $145B slated by the Dippers, APGCI is still the highest priority but they fail to mention that money was already earmarked for infrastructure 15 years ago under Libs and then passed to Harper. Oil and western Canadian goods are still the future of Canada.

I keep asking you to point out these markets. There will be a glut of cheap oil for decades. The tar sands require high oil prices, those high prices are gone, the oil bizz is all fracked up.
Oil is a plentiful abiotic natural resource hitherto manipulated by the market monopolists old lie about scarcity.

Voters think Mulcair, Trudeau are better choices to deal with shaky economy: Ipsos poll - National | Globalnews.ca

Mulcair is favoured by 36 per cent of respondents while 33 per cent prefer Trudeau. Only 31 per cent of people think Harper is the best choice to get Canada out of recession.

When Ipsos asked a similar question in April, the order was reversed: 45 per cent of people saw Harper as best able to deal with the economy, while 27 per cent preferred Mulcair, and 27 per cent favoured Trudeau.

“What was [Harper’s] strength has moved over to other players,” John Wright, senior vice president of Ipsos said in an interview Wednesday.

I think it would be a big mistake to not reelect a known and exposed forigne agent. We know who this one serves and further study of the known would be more constructive and save many years of giving the other unscupulous dog lickers offered up in the sted the time and money to do a proper acessment. We don't want to do five more years discovering systemic problems while we entertain the same idiot notions spray painted to look original. Christ almighty used cars are flogged in the same manner. Something is broken and I don't see any mechanics in those offered as replacments.

I think the difference is likely due to the fact that Jr. and Mulehair have been doing a lot of lying!

We easterners would like two no three more refineries and we will sign long term deals to save you from bankruptageddon by offering very good returns on your grossly over stuffed overcapacity, or we could just wait till your depleted and come and take the whole thing from you second class yankees, someone will have to be punished for the Harper errors.

Can you repeat that in English?

Yes of course. The pieces are interchangable. A new suit ain't going to make a difference.
