With Ontario, B.C. Alta. and Quebec to gain more seats to adjust for population disparity, I think they are going about this backwards. They should be eliminating seats from the other provinces. The spending increase is obscene.

Kelowna man loses eye in jail attack - British Columbia - CBC News I personally believe there are too many people in prisons. I think by and large prisons should pretty well be limited to the incarceration of violent offenders and white collar criminals (including drug kingpins) and the two...

With finances taking up so much of the news and many discussions here, I'm wondering if an hour or so a week as part of the school curriculum wouldn't help. It could be a two part thing............the benefits of saving and investing and a warning of all the pitfalls, schemes, shams and scams...

Maybe best to leave it alone?

I guess they live among us! :lol: George W. Bush draws protesters at Surrey appearance - British Columbia - CBC News

I've gotten to wondering if among Telus, Shaw, Rogers, Bell, Virgin and anyone else if there is one provider with a shred of reputability or if not could someone enlighten us as to who is the least corrupt? By any chance are these outfits owned by politicians?

I've gotten to thinking that systematic method of demolition of old buildings by the unemployed who are on welfare/ looking for work would make a lot more sense, in that it would create jobs offset by the value of old salvageable materials, would be one more link in the recycling chain and would...

First it's the teachers, now it's the airlines! Can't these people see the whole world is struggling as are many Canadians? Don't they care about the extra burden they are putting on their fellow citizens? One brain dead idiot was whining about falling below 2002 standards. What's carved in...

I've been listening to Joe McGinniss being interviewed about the book he is writing about Sarah Palin. He's been renting the house next door to her and says to the effect that she is a paranoid whacko, who thinks he's a "Peeping Tom" and she has some far out religious beliefs, like Jesus will...

There is to be one more stat holiday effective Feb. 18 2013. Can we afford another holiday? Should it be a paid holiday? Is it likely to pull us to the brink of bankruptcy? Or is it just a simple mind ploy to try to get Christy Clark re elected? :smile:

Insurance salesmen A and B were sitting in a bar discussiNG the companies they worked for, when A announces that it's pretty hard to beat his company. "How's that?" asks B. Says A, "when I write you a life insurance policy you are covered right from the basket to the casket. Says B, "that's...

I just heard on C.B.C. news that the proposed jail is on the back burner to be revisited months down the road, as there is apparently no immediate need for one. At the beginning of the year they were looking for an immediate decision as to location (Lumby, Winfield, Summerland, Penticton...

I've never been able to figure out why breakfast ham turns slimy after being in the fridge for awhile, but long before its expiry date and while it is still perfectly good to eat. I find the phenomenum a little unsavory. What is the solution to this?

I watched a documentary on C.B.C. last night testing the results of eating a steady diet of Junk food. The subject was a fairly healthy guy probably in his 30s and the assignment was to eat all his meals at McDonald's for 30 days. He could eat or drink nothing that wasn't purchased at...

I am just wondering if Stevie Boy is paying a little too much attention to crime and not enough to solving problems regarding mental illness. Granted there are people who need locking up for a long time if not the duration, but don't we already have laws and sentences in place to take care of...

How do I get it to print PDF files? It prints most everything else. Thanking you in advance for the help. :smile:

Serial killer Clifford Olson is dying of cancer | News | National Post Best news this week!

This more properly belongs in "politics" but it wouldn't take it. I just listened to Paul Martin speaking on C.B.C. radio and he says the biggest social and economic problem in Canada is the deplorable state of aboriginal education, it is not being addressed and it is under funded. On THIS I...
