Tell them they are getting aclimatized????????

People are individuals comprised of a multitude of different thoughts, beliefs, ideas and motives resulting from a myriad of influences, experiences, personal associations, geography and family background. They should not be compartmentalized according to such fickle criteria as politics and...

I think it's time to spring him loose. If an A$$hole like Conrad Black can get out in 61/2 years, Omar should have been released years ago. If he did in fact murder someone (which is highly dubious) he should have been charged and tried at the time. After 8 years of torture, further...

I read in this mornings paper why we need more snouts in the Federal trough- two reasons 1. No province can have less members than they do in the senate and 2. No province can have less ridings than they did at on a date of redistribution back in the '70s. Both lame excuses (the perpetrator...

I just heard on C.B.C. radio today that an expert is predicting a 20% correction in house prices.

CARP - A New Vision of Aging for Canada - Advocacy, Benefits, Community & Zoomer. What do you think of it?

I question the benefits of the vegetarian diet and especially the vegan diet, knowing that it's supposedly beneficial to eat as wide a variety of food as possible and also knowing when you eliminate certain foods you are eliminating the benefits obtained from those foods. For instance some fish...

I just heard on CBC radio the the fastest escalating cost for Canadians is the tax bill. The average family income of $69,000 is being taxed at the rate of 42%. Should we get Bill Vanderzalm working on this problem too?

I just got a list of the 50 most trusted Canadians in the mail today. Mike Holmes is #2, Stephen Harper is #8 and Michael Ignatieff is # 42. Who do you think are the most trusted?

I just heard on C.B.C. radio that a healthcare user fee of $25 is about to be introduced in Quebec. Considering the news reported in B.C. this morning of an 87 year old woman in Trail B.C. with a broken leg being hauled 150 miles to Cranbrook for treatment and a man having to wait for one year...

Points taken Y.J. - although I do think the conditions of a single season are perhaps better characterized as "weather"..........IMHO..................:smile:

May I have the audacity, Y.J. to suggest that perhaps what you are referring to is "weather" more so than "climate"? :smile:

I just heard on the news that one of the school districts in B.C. is in dire financial straits and will be laying off staff and reducing the length of the school year by ten days. Do you see other alternatives to this? Are the school years too short already? Would reducing everyone's salary...

Is that news? Ice usually melts in the summer.

This is just a poll and that is all it is, but according to CBC 62% of all Canadians want the death penalty reinstated. (I wonder if Olson's monthly stipend had anything to do with it................:lol::lol::lol:)

It seems there are allegations that the Pope (before he was a Pope) knew and condoned the acts of Father Murphy buggering hundreds of young boys.

:lol::lol:

How does Canada and Canadians stack up against other people in terms of friendliness? Are we adversarial or judgmental? Do we discriminate more or less than other political groups? Or do we consider ourselves a "cut above" our American and Mexican neighbours? What is our reputation on the world...

For vaccines to eradicate a disease the entire population would have to get it, but the more people who have it the wider the gap it has to jump.

I think for some reason this thread has generated more than its share of emotional kneejerk reaction. Of course there are exceptions to every rule but on average I think people are better off with the shot than without it. Speaking for myself personally I never had any reaction and I never got...
