I'd like to see things like free post secondary education for those that show the aptitude and ability. To pursue the creation of new wealth it would help to ensure that our brightest and best have access to the training and education they need. At present that is a privilege that goes to...

I suspect we both have the same destination in mind. Can you be more specific on the creation of new opportunities ?

I've done okay working within the system, such as it is. But I still like to make a little noise in favour of a better system, and I try to spend my vote responsibly. What else is there ?

Has it ever really been tried ? Or is it just passing spurts of "flavour of the week" causes that are quickly beaten back ?

Different name, same ultimate goal. The common mistake is looking at the current situations as something that can be cured quickly. The current state of imbalance has been fifty years in the making, and will probably take at least that to correct. What is essential to start the process is...

Climate change denial, Anti-vaxxer, Covid hoaxer, Anti-masker, you have an extensive resume Dan, it must keep you busy.

It starts with a failure to see what has been a process ongoing for decades. A watershed moment in the growth of this phenomenon was the publishing of an essay in the New York Times in September of 1970 titled "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits" by economist...

Using the US as an example, the richest three people in the country hold more wealth than the poorest 180 million. Doesn't that seem just a little out of balance ? Poverty, hunger, homelessness, illiteracy, preventable disease, polluted air and water, just about every negative issue that we...

I'm suggesting that big business and big money have called the shots not because of who is in power, but despite who is in power. Our so-called elected officials, no matter what their political stripe, are less than influential when it comes to affecting corporate policy.

I don't disagree with those sentiments, the decisions "at the top" are more and more made by the very rich to assure the endurance of the very rich, and as has been the trend for the last fifty years or so, the middle class takes it in the ass. Issues like economic and social equality and...

One among thirty-eight million. Let's give them all some air time, okay? That shouldn't take long. You seem to be hinting that proper democratic process should result in everyone getting what they want, that's not the way it works.

That's your beef, is it? Nobody asked for your input? What's your background ? Epidemiology? Virology? Maybe economics? It's simple really, the urgency of this thing just didn't allow giving everybody who might have read some snippet from some unknown "specialist" on facebook time at the...

Actually the Government Covid tracker site puts Manitoba currently way out in front, with Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario following in that order. Covid Case Rate per 100,000

Sounds like that's a possibility. Our future is in the hands of the boneheads. Not exactly encouraging.

The US is at a point where over 40% of their population is fully vaccinated, and their new case numbers reflect that. Canada has been concentrating on getting everyone who wants it their first dose, and has struggled with supply issues more than the US. The US is now meeting resistance to...

Tough question. The situation evolved very quickly in the beginning and there was a lot of conflicting information. It's easy to criticize looking backwards, but for the most part we are getting ahead of it now. Interesting that the two remaining hotspots in the country are areas where the...

Beats the stuffing out of your "open the bars and git at er" plan. I'll stick with mine thanks, there's some actual thought behind it.

Thankfully, the boneheads are vastly outnumbered and we will likely beat this thing back despite their resistance, it's just going to take a little longer. In the meantime the vaccination passport program should help a bit in keeping the rest of us insulated from them.

That's not the half of it, they're putting chemicals in the water to help with their experiments on devising a gay bomb to keep Republican voters from having children, now the majority of frogs in the US are gay. Nasty, sinister Democrats.

I would accept that as a truism, just like "Lies are lies". It takes more to establish a "fact" than just saying it. Just find a reputable source, should be easy enough if indeed your "facts" are factual.
