    Jamil Jivani: Conservatism is the new counterculture, Liberals are 'the man'

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamil-jivani-conservatism-is-the-new-counterculture-liberals-are-the-man Interestingly this was mentioned by a member here just a few days ago, and here's an article expanding on that very sentiment. There's a lot of truth to this. And it doesn't bode well for...

    What Emergency Act?

    Sure. But the fact there was a possibility and it COULD have happened shows that declaring an emergency was both premature and probably unnecessary.

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    They do actually I think. The courts relatively recently acknowledged that they do have some legitimacy outside of the specific boundaries of the reserve as i recall.

    Opinion: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially with government spending

    And it was answered. As to gov't sercvices - if we're talking federally NOBODY is quiet. Certainly not the ones complaining about the overspending. How about the billions paid to corporations as part of the covid benefits? The 7 billion dollar gun "buy back" they're considering. Justin's...

    Bank of Canada's 'soft landing' scenario hits the rocks in bond market

    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/bank-canadas-soft-landing-scenario-171039808.html Not that anyone's surprised. But this will put more pressure on the Liberal gov't, nobody likes to hear the "R' word when they're in power and he'll wind up wearing that a bit. It creates an interesting...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    Which was largely the revolt in the 80's and early 90's too if you think about it. Highly amusing - we fluctuate between "Don't trust anyone over 30" and "Don't trust anyone under 30 (thousand a year)"

    Opinion: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially with government spending

    Well in my books the answer still comes back to the value a person puts in. So to make more wealth they have to produce more things of value. The two best ways for that to happen in my books is a) better access (and encouragement) to skills training and higher education that has value and b) the...

    Opinion: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially with government spending

    It's going to sound like we think of this VERY differently, but I don't think on the whole we're actually all THAT far apart. There really is no pie. Wealth doesn't exist as a static thing. Wealth is a result of activity. You're thinking it's like a lake, but it's more like a river. When the...

    Opinion: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially with government spending

    As tech increased, it increased the number of bills that people had to pay. If the ONLY thing you own is a home, you only need a relatively small amount of money to meet your needs. If you have to have a home and a car and a tv, then you need more income to support an 'average life. If you need...

    And pay for mulitple cell phones instead of one house phone, pay for the internet, pay for cable tv which used to be a luxury, etc etc.

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    that's not accurate. For sure Erin did - and it might have paid off if he hadn't flip flopped so badly. But scheer didn't. He just ran the worst campaign in political history. PP will certainly look to broaden his appeal but there's nothing wrong with that as long as he doesn't CHANGE his...
