    Who is Canada's biggest corporate criminal?

    Maybe if enough posters respond we can identify all of them. I'll start the ball rolling by nominating David Hahn (head honcho B.C. Ferries)

    "Canada Day" or "Dominion Day"

    Another thing that got screwed up during Trudeau's watch. "Dominion Day" was a perfectly good name as we are a dominion and this is just another case of some a$$hole changing something for the sake of change. "Canada Day" in my mind just lacks any imagination. Anyone else with ideas?

    Seven Hell's Angels charged in Kelowna.

    I'm not sure if we should be commenting on this before the trial, so I'm not going to make the statement that 7 people murdering one middle aged man is cowardly!

    Conrad Black back in hoosegow

    I see he just got another 42 months, not sure that it's adequate, but it is refreshing to see the so called privileged have to abide by the same rules as we unwashed do! :smile: Conrad Black going back to prison | Posted | National Post

    Who's worse, the rioters or the vigilantes?

    I see the family of the kid who admitted his riotous acts on T.V. have been forced from their home as a result of death threats. Typical of the holier than thous who think someone else's crime is much worse than their own. Is this thing getting to be like Topsy? Teen athlete apologizes for...

    Vanderzalm's mathematics

    Just heard Bill Vanderzalm on the news extolling the benefits of the G.S.T. + P.S.T. at 12% over the H.S.T. at 10%. When Bill first arrived on the scene about 1975 a lot of us thought he was dumb (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I'm wondering if he's any smarter now. He claims...

    People who pass along dire predictions from God.

    It is not uncommon to hear peolple say such things as God will smite us or someone is destined to go to Hell. What type of people peddle this malarky? Is it an act of cruelty, or insecurity or a feeling of self importance or what? Why are these people not able to see how ridiculous they are...

    Sheila Fraser retires

    Just got the news on C.B.C. radio, I have an apology to make, I've been known to say all politicians are "tarred with the same brush, liars, thieves and cheats", well I think Sheila was just the opposite and I think Hell will freeze over before they can adequately replace her. Is she...

    Is Layton's crew going to be facing bi- elections.

    From what I can gather some of the new N.D.P. M.P.s may not really want the job? How is this going to play out?

    Does Layton know when to keep his mouth shut?

    He's been riding a roller coaster for several days because of his personality and his ability to know what people want to hear and having the sense to say it. Now he is saying he can beat Stephen Harper. Once a guy starts telling blatant lies that even Little Red Riding wouldn't believe, his...

    Christy Clark pays exemployees up to $1/2 million in severence.

    I just emailed her and gave her a blast. If Mike Farnsworth was the leader of the provincial N.D.P. I'd vote N.D.P. in the next election..................now I'm in a real quandary as I am NOT impressed with Dixie.

    Is our justice system a hypocrisy?

    Our justice system is based on the assumption that an accused is innocent until proven guilty. If that is really the case why do accuseds have to post bail or remain in jail awaiting trial? I say you can't have it both ways. As it's not reasonable or safe to allow the likes of Pickton...

    Is Harper class/ ethnicity conscious?

    Could this perceived trait of Harper's cost him the election?

    Rabbit over population?

    Just heard on the radio what a problem rabbits are getting to be. Apparently there is a problem both in Kelowna and Victoria. With so many people apparently living below the poverty line, why are they getting to be a problem. I was raised on rabbits for a good part of my childhood and they...

    How seriously should we take politics?

    I guess I'm as guilty as anyone as far as getting enthusiastic and sarcastic over this stuff. Does any of it really matter in the great scheme of things? If there was one political party or one politician who was head and shoulders above the rest it might make sense, but there's obviously not...

    B.C. soft on drug kingpins

    We have a case here of two international dealing drug miscreants, where at least one of proven guilty upon arrest and yet these two parasites are free on bail for three months instead of being immediately Gulagged and doing hard labour. When they tracked down the pair one of them was also found...

    How do you see Christy Clark - the new premier in British Columbia?

    Is she a breath of fresh air for a reeling Liberal party or just more of the "same old same old" mostly overhelmed with her own perceived levels of intelligence and importance?

    Evaluating the Conservatives

    Before drawing conclusions about the Conservatives I'm wondering if we shouldn't be paying a little more attention to Flaherty and a little less to Harper.
