Gas Prices

That may be true, Jay, but in waiting for such a "jump-start" to happen, programs would need to be wiped off the map entirely to facilitate that kind of decrease in revenue. And contrary to your constant claims, again — again — I am not a representative of the Liberal Party of Canada, so cease your practice of attempting to invalidate my points on the basis that they are "Liberal".
Jay, I know how much money is being sent to Ottawa — approximately $186 billion was deposited to the Canadian Consolidated Revenue Fund in taxes and revenue for the previous fiscal year. And yes, we certainly do have completely different ideas of economics, hehe. Granted, though, I am only eighteen years old. The "dark" side of reality hasn't broken my spirit yet. 
I know it hasn't, and I'm aware of your innocence in all of this....I think I mentioned that the other day.
Someday you will have a good paying job (well deserving) and you will start paying the kind of taxes other people are paying, and maybe then you will understand why some people are just simply pissed off they have to send their money to Ottawa so certain people can buy votes with it.

I have found, in my experience on Canadian Content, that one of the huge differences between youth and adults here in Canada; adults tend to be far more cynical in terms of how the Government is run. That is, to be honest, one of the reasons I intend to go into politics; sure, my "rosy" outlook on life is sometimes cheerful enough to make some of the membership here on CanCon throw up, in a projectile vomit kind of fashion.
However, I want to make it so that my rosy outlook is a rosy reality.

Five there is nothing wrong with being cheerful, and leave those rose colored glasses on please. The forum has enough bitter and twisted people, we need young blood.
P.S. You don't make me want to throw up, but paying taxes well it does leave my nausous.

Jay, saying someone doesn't have an idea by itself doesn't prove that to be true. Neither does it prove you ‘having an idea’.
Neither does your age hold any consequence to how valid your argument might be. The condescending tone also doesn't add favour your way.
You better start putting out numbers to back your statements because Five so far has made a better case than you.

Re: RE: Gas Prices
I think I mentioned around here somewhere the other day - our youth are paying attention...
5par - you seem pretty well balanced and mature in spirit and knowledge - I'd be pleased to see people like you get a chance to run the show fer awhile! and I hope you never feel the need to apologize for your rosy outlook... it's very encouraging to see a point of view that still holds hope for our ability to govern and conduct ourselves with dignity, compassion and a sense of fair play. Come to think of it, is that 'rosey' or just plain common decency?

Zan that was a nice posting to read. Five is a great lad, and we'd be lucky if he ever got elected. I asked him to be the leader of a new party I started BAT-Bitter and Twisted but he declined. I'm going to ask him again in 20 years.
My eyes must be getting tired that little hand that hits buttons just gave me the finger. Zan, yep in twenty years your'll be a bat.
