There's altogether too much hoopla over this Swine Flu'. You'd think it was the bubonic plague, the way the news media goes on about it. To put it in perspective 4 people in B.C. have died with it since April. How many have died from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, vehicle accidents in the...

"On August 9, 2009, Kane and his cousin, James M. Kane, were arrested in Buffalo. According to a police report, Kane was apprehended around 5:00 a.m. after allegedly punching a cab driver when he said he did not have proper change for their trip fare. The driver was short twenty cents.[15] Kane...

Absolutely, albeit a small part of the globe and temporary as well.........:lol::lol::lol:

That is not my understanding at all, VanIsle- apparently the majority of cases are very mild and the fatal ones generally involve people who are sick with some other ailment. I think this one mainly has a bad rep. because of the initial reports out of Mexico and the media doesn't have quite...

Yep, conspiracy theories run rampant on practically everything, some people just don't accept any givens. As far as the flu goes, wait a week after everyone else starts getting their shots and if more than 10% of them drop over dead, I wouldn't get one. As a new member to the forum, welcome...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any advise for a very physically active man in his 60s who has trouble remaining asleep at nights. Going to sleep at bedtime is not much of a problem, but sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours is.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the formula used to calculate transfer payments among the provinces of Canada, or if anyone knows where this information can be obtained. I'd hate to think that individual politicians have anything to do with it. :lol::lol:

"Canada's income per person grew twice as fast as that in the United States over the past four years, according to a new study released Tuesday. CIBC World Markets Inc. said the country's real personal disposable income — what you get to spend once you subtract price increases — rose $2,600...

According to Global News at noon Harper's outfit wants to eliminate the "Faint Hope Clause" (allows for the release of exemplary prisoners convicted of 1st degree murder after serving 15 years. What is your opinion of this? I would have hoped he would be toughening up sentences for the worst...

Is our Federal Gov't. treating Mr. Lennikov fairly? From his history so far in Canada over 12 years he seems to be the exact type of citizen (if any) that we want to import. Why is he to be shunted back to Russia while a thousand machete wielding gangsters are allowed to stay?

I don't believe I'm getting it right but I did catch a news flash on the T.V. today saying autoworkers have agreed to a wage cut to $57.00 an hour!! Can someone please enlighten me. I have two sons in B.C. both professionals who are scrambling to keep working and are exstatic when they get...

Just had a brain wave!!!!!!! Not sure how or if this would "fly", but I'm wondering if we couldn't fence and cultivate our land fill areas and populate them with pigs and goats, which would consume a lot of the garbage, along with grains and grasses planted giving them a more or less balanced...

I just read an article in this month's Readers' Digest, pointing out that consuming "food mile" produce isn't all it's cracked up to be as far as less wear and tear on the environment. For instance a hectare of land in California will produce 5-7 times the amount of strawberries as Ontario can...

Who do you think is going to win? A. Green B. N.D.P. C. Liberals

Basically, I think you are right but man isn't helping anything either and needs to take a hard look at some of his habits. I think 6 billion people can adversely affect the planet.

Is that significant?

You noticed that too eh? :lol:

You hear a lot about this "S.T.V." vs. "First past the post". Is the S.T.V. all it's cracked up to be? Is it going to ensure more fairness at the ballot box? Under the old system isn't it equally fair for all parties running? Are not these situations where a small percentage of the electorate...

Of course it's going to be 50/50, either it will be or it won't be, how much closer can you get to 50/50 than that? And if it's up there who's going to know about it anyway? It's just a cleansing process anyway, can you imagine how much sludge and scum has been collecting on all that ice over...
