RIM sues Motorola for blocking hiring of workers: report Unbelieveable. I can understand for the purpose of protecting intellectual property that companies would have such an agreement. But certainly once a company either fires or lays off a worker, the deal is off for that worker at least...

From my past observations, it appears (and demographic and politial maps of Quebec substantiate this) that support for Quebec sovereignty is especially concentrated among monolingual French-speaking communities. Do you think there is a strong correlation between support for sovereignty and...

One of the main arguments that Harper had used against the coalition in his televized address to the nation before popoguing parliament was the danger of making a coalition with 'separatists'. Now we could debate whether or not a federalist party should or shouldn't form a coalition with a...

I'd like to know what you would like infrastructure spending to focus on if it must come to that. Here are some examples of what I'd like to see. These are some of the criteria I'd be looking for in an infrastructure project. It would have to meet at least one of the following criteria: 1...

I'd rather the government just lower interest rates and retrain laid off workers for whatever jobs are created from the drop in interest rates. If the government absolutely must create jobs, however, then instead of wandering aimlessly, bailing out whatever squeeky wheel asks for greece, which...

If we look at history, recessions have often been followed by labour shortages, resulting in inflation. How best do you think we should use the current recession to prepare for the likely labour shortage to follow in a few years' time?

Let's suppose that the government were banned from imposing taxes on income and wealth, and would be allowed to get revenue from natural resources and fines only. Beyond that the government would reserve the right to require us to give a certain amount of our income and non-essential wealth to a...

I'm looking forward to your responses.

I would like to see an add campaign next election challenging voters to vote for their MP based on his character. If people vote for the candidate rather than his party, idiots can no longer cruise into office by just wearing a popular party brand name. And if we vote for a candidate based...

Please give examples of voters you know or have met whom you really think shouldn't be allowed to vote, or at least be sent back to school.

During the election, even after the Wall Street crash, when Harper was explicitly asked whether his party would run a deficit, he explicitly stated that he wouldn't. This of course might have helped him win the election because the other leaders were too honest to make such a promise. Not a very...

Let's imagine the following hypothetical scenario. In 2008 a series of natural disasters across Canada, including tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. devastated the economy such that our current GDP is now half of what it was last year. Many are homeless, starving, the government is indepted, etc., and...

The depression of the 1930's had led to a rise in the extreme right and extreme left in many countries. Even in Canada, the far right was growing and on the far left the Communist Party of Canada had even sent members under the Mackenzie-Papineau Batalian to fight in the Spanish civil war as...

The US Federal Reserve has now lowered interest rates to below 0.25% and will keep it hovering between 0% and 0.25% for the foreseeable future in order to counter the deflationary pressures countering that nation. Do you think we should experiment with lowering our interest rates to 0% too to...

what would be your thoughts on the creation of a department of cybernetics? it would be responsible not only for mechanical cybernetics, but social cybernetics too. Essentially, it would be responsible for identifying economic inefficiencies in our social system and restructure accordingly. Of...
