Bear supporting your ramblings only brings his status down to your level rather than elevating you to what used to be his level. You are a constant good example of what a fuktard is, a prime example even.
The fact that either of us upset you, only means we're on the right side.

Stroke each other all you like, it takes more that to rattle me. I'm quite aware of the insecurity that the collective has when it comes to understanding much of anything. Let alone anything since 9/11/01, that's a long spell so it is unlikely you will ever find a cure for being that stupid.

Boomer assaulting barbers and cheering when children are murdered pretty much makes him a total creep in my book, if you find it to be a worthy attribute then so be it, doesn't elevate you in the norms of society because you wouldn't be cheering should it happen to your group of people.

You really are starting to sound like sleepy, not really a complement but it's a fact jack.
An excellent example of what somebody with their eyes wide shut would say. lol Tell me how you Sherlocked that ISIS wasn't the proxy army for the US and your beloved Israel? Perhaps the 50 US commandos had a stop in Egypt before getting to Syria.

Yeah, there has not really been very many popular Canadian musicians outside of symphonic orchestras:
Lee Aaron, Bryan Adams, Susan Aglukark, Paul Anka, Chad Allen (1st lead singer for The Guess WHo), Toya Alexis, James Anthony, Jann Arden, Richie Aucoin, Melissa Auf der Maur, and I can go on to the "B"s, "C"s, etc and then start naming bands.
But I'll just name a few more like Colin James, Neil Young, Nelly Furtado, Celine Dion (eeeeks, she shrieks), Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Shania Twain, Diana Krall, Mickey Bubbles (Michael Buble), Sarah McLachlan, Feist, Jeff Healey, etcetera, ad infinitum.
Not many outside of classical at all and certainly not popular. hehehe

I never understood the logic of that when it came to certain sports. Players used to sponsor the Atlantic Formula Racing Series. I don't even know if that series still exists in Canada once it lost it's primary sponsor.
But this is what got me, tobacco companies could no longer sponsor racing events however breweries and distilleries can. Personally I find it odd that alcohol producers can sponsor events where people are behind the wheels of some rather powerful cars and trucks but tobacco companies can't.
lol I had never thought of that (I guess I do not watch sports much). Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit ironic.

Perhaps a series on how to act Canadian for our new friends that are on the way. How to register your AK47 should be near the top of the list.
erm, I am pretty sure border officials would not allow those.
How to not freeze to death running a close second.
I am equally sure that Syrians are well acquainted with freezing temperatures and have heard about jackets.
The word "DUH" comes to mind at this point.

It's not the govts place to spend tax revenue on arts or sports. Especially not when we are underfunded for essential services like healthcare and education and need new infrastructure. How much less would the deficit be if they stopped all funding for non-essential programs?
That would depend if the gov't was run by folks like Chretien, or by folks like Bernard Lord or Ralph Klein. Chretien seemed to like having Martin cut the provinces off at the knees, attempt the odd scam, etc. I should not have to mention the performances of Ralph or Bernard.

Stop being so silly. It's the governments job to spend tax dollars where people want their tax dollars spent.
Stop being so stupid. Of course that is not the gov't mandate these days. What is, is to cater to corporations and global concerns.

To start with many of the people in Hollywood and other areas of movie making came out
of Canada over the years. The other reason big films and TV Series come to Canada is
we have a trained workforce. In addition look at the number of top notch people who filled
the role of multi genre talent.
Besides funding this area is good for the economy money pours in daily by production
companies and through tourism.
I think it is money well spent for the return on the dollar over all.

In the United States there are similar programs the return on the investment
goes primarily into local economies and governments on both sides of the
boarder make little or nothing the beauty of it is local merchants and trades
make real money and that eventually does come back to government
Making money is fine whether it is in the entertainment field or whatever, but spending ridiculous amounts of money on ridiculous things like the "Voice Of Fire", spending $1.5 million on snow-grooming for the pleasure of Quebec snowmobilers, etc etc etc is just plain stupid.

You mean like actual history or the official 9/11 type of history?

The complaint fro Liberals AND A&E is that Conservatives didn't give them any money.
Liberals always complain about a lack of money. So what? The Conservatives handed out buckets of cash. Harper continued to hand hundreds of millions to the CBC alone.

Sarcasm keeps me alive. It's the most intellectual form of comedy.

Stop being so silly. Corporations are nothing more than people that get together and invest in a venture.

uhuh Just keep thinking that. Corporations do not lobby gov'ts to hand them favours or anything of the sort. They do not spend millions on lawyers to figure out how to dodge taxes and exploit loopholes in laws and they do not suck up subsidies from gov't. uhuh
Thanks, but I will keep being silly if that is how and what I think.
