A small portion of the population granted special treatment to leave work at the drop of a hat does what to save tax dollars?
Ooooooooh a "red notch" so early in the day. :smile: I bet I can guess who by the fourth guess! :lol:
Ctv and global.
They provide all the necessary coverage. The CBC is just a waste of Taxpayer money. If you want to watch it, then you should pay to watch it, but I see no reason why i should pay for you to watch it. Your not paying the channels I watch and I am not asking you to. Your just accustomed to your entitlements because your grew up in a culture of entitlements. You know no different...
You won't find any in supporting the CBC!!
If people want fire protection they have three options;
1 - hire full time firefighters
2 - use volunteers
3 - buy fire trucks that operate themselves
Option #2 is the most cost effective (by a country mile). The problem is accessing the available manpower.
Wouldn't that depend on the individual listener and viewer?
Well, it only took me about 60 seconds to reel him in! :lol:
Yes, there seems to be some inconsistency in his administering of them.
He alluded to some pattern, I thought it was for posts he deemed in his new position as internet superhero, as being trolling or abusive.
But it seems that, 1, only he is allowed to troll or be abusive. 2, the post has to be made by a specific few, while he ignores the multitude of others, including his own. That go beyond sharing commonality.
I'm not surprised really. His hypocrisy is legendary. Just like his endorsement of special status for one group, while condemning another.
It didn't change my mind either but it helps make up for lost pay. Especially when we spend a saturday on a course when I could have been working. Like this weekend I am doing the last test for NFPA certification. on Sunday. I could have worked today but I have chores and want a little rest. This is simpler than giving money to the companies since there is less bureaucracy involved. Any company that would not permit their employees to run off to help save a live or the community had best have a serious rethink of their priorities.
A local contractor that I sometimes drive for once asked me if I would stop in the middle of a job to go to a fire so I told him that I wouldn't if it was his house but probable would if it was his neighbor's. He kind of grunted & wondered off after that. About a year after that we saved his oldest son's life.
Right, by granting special status to a small portion of the populace.
Thanks for clearing up the fact that you endorse that..
If the CBC, went off the air right now, absolutly nothing would change... Kids would still go to school, everybody would still go to work (except CBC types), factories would keep operating, trucks would still keep deliverying stuff etc etc NOTHING WOULD CHANGE...
So why are we supporting the CBC when they add absolutly NO value to the Canadian Taxpayers????????
CTV and Global both receive federal subsidies for programming. So you're wrong, I am actually paying for the channels that you watch.
The gov't in conjunction with bribed companies. To allow a special few the right to leave work at the drop of a hat, without fear of admonishment.
A special status not enjoyed by the whole of the populace.
Durry you have no idea what you are talking about. The CBC broadcasts in French and English and about seven or eight
aboriginal languages. In a lot of areas up north, CBC is all there is.
So you equate giving tax credits with special status. Looks like everybody in Canada has special status so what's your point?
Nonsense. Anybody can join a volunteer fire department.
