Why not train the unemployed for these jobs?

Which do you think would be preferable for Canada? 1. Official Bilingualism (i.e. what we have now), costing us an estimated 16 billion dollars and only about 15% of Canadians knowing both English and French. 2. Regional monolingualism and individual monolingualism, having each province and...

How do you think Canada should respond to US-style protectionism? Personally, I'd say change shift the tax base from income to resources (e.g. gas tax), but don't retaliate with tarifs. By shifting to a gas tax, we'd create a downward pressure on the cost of services (after all, with a lower...

If we consider that Harper had promissed no deficit during the last election campaign, does he not have a moral duty to vote against any budget that can lead to a deficit? As for other members of his party, that might be a different matter, depending on whether they personally had promissed...

I'd be curious. If you could choose two parties to form a co-alition, which ones would you choose? Personally, I wouldn't mind giving the Green-Libertarian co-alition a try. It might sound like a strange combination, but they would in fact have some points in common. They could probably agree...

Woudl you support this idea?

Many Canadians have criticized the co-alition not on legal or constitutional grounds (we all agree that the co-alition would represent the majority of MPs), but rather on ideological grounds (that a co-alition must be stopped by all available legal means, no matter how disruptive it might be...

Do you think Canada should negotiate global labour-mobility agreement through the WTO to give Canadian workers more job opportunities abroad, especially now that we're in a recession?

I was watchning CBC news the National last night, and it mentioned that Canada is suffering from a labrour shortage of 15,000 mechanics... now! One man interviewed has been advertizing for qualified mechanics for 3 months already, and is already starting to consider inviting Europeans to come...

I'd like to know how many here would be willing to support legislation guaranteeing a particular social domain to Canada's indigenous languages? For those who aren't familiar with the concept of linguistic domain, it means a particular social context that is reserved for a particular language...

According to the World Federation of the Deaf (http://www.wfdeaf.org/pdf/fact_signlanguage.pdf), Brazil, Finland, South Africa, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Uganda, Ecuador, Portugal , and Venezuela recognize their national sign languages in their constitutions. Has Canada been so blinded...

11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? 12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. 13 But I say unto you, That Elias...

The term red neck is a common term of abuse used among the left to denigrate the right. Based on my understanding of people's use of the term, it implies an ignorant, heartless person whose views on law and order are strongly influcenced by religion though his views on war and economics tend to...

A n g l o s p h e r e Though I don't fully agree with Anglosphereism if it is thought of a a fort to keep others out, I do agree with the idea if it is thought of as a means of building closer ties between predominantly English-speaking countries, be it in freer trade, freer movement of...
