The wide body of knowledge is impressive. Most casual geology chat I come across is post ice age. Elementary schools spent a bit of time back then on Lake Agassiz, melt water channel and kettle lake formations. Not a lot of discussion of mountain building events. Interesting though to look...

your starting to freak me out

Minister for Middle Class Prosperity? Holy overblown burecracy Batman !

1.8% increase in pay for elected officials kicked in April 1 adds $3,300 to the lowest level bumping it to $182,000. Another one coming next year. 3.5 times average Canadian median income. Never mind the expense account or the golden pension at the end for all the years of hard work and...

Big beef for Rogers and their wacky free roaming and long distance game. I have lived in fear of making an international cell phone call since the day the things were invented being afraid of the big roaming bill. Decided recently that they must have that all worked out by now so made a call...

Banks are beyond accountability and used their influence to guide government policy to their benefit. They will screw you over for $1000 every chance they get. Canadian banks were instrumental in setting up the Caymans as tax havens. I have no doubt that you are completely right about washing...

Bombers playing the sad music and reporting a $7 million loss despite spending $8 million on football ops and marketing in a year when they did basically nothing. Convenient that big Wade wasn't wearing the giant diamond encrusted Grey Cup ring he spent all that money on. No word about the...

Curious which general community area in Saskatchewan would be considered tops among locals in terms of best farm land. Mentioning Tisdale made me think of it.

Every time I see this one it reminds me of an ex

The savings in travel expense to Ottawa alone would be significant. Will never happen though as that is the cushy part of the job. Probably 1500 or so working in travel. Been a long time since I've seen anything from the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. Possibly they are working from home as well.

No credit limit is the problem and they are all happy to give a hand to a friend in need. Canada needs to start cutting back on so called services that mostly service themselves which is just about everything that they do. 20% across the board would not even be missed. Minimizing expenses...

Been to Tisdale myself. Nice place. Easy to see where Brent Butt got his material for Corner Gas
