Not blather at all...he's under investigation for graft and kickbacks while he was CEO of Halliburton.
More Yawn. That won't go anywhere. Liberal nonsense
Fair enough, you don't know. All 80 members of my Russian heritage, many of the adults were teachers and bankers, were murdered by Stalin, I have never found a single grave. Totally wiped out every member, children, parents, grandparents.
It's you who don't know. It takes some brutally purposeful ignorance to even consider comparing Canada to Stalinist Russia. What you are doing is lying.
The nature of modern socialism is simply a kinder gentler killing, the killing of personal responsibility, of inspiration, dragging people down to the lowest common denominator, it's sneaky and manipulative. Thankfully the Brits didn't fully allow their spirit to be completely crushed by socialism and recovered with real leadership from Thatcher. Quebec raped the value of businesses and property in the 70's and 80's, nobody cared and the constitution doesn't allow for any other redress. That was a kinder gentler genocide. Canadians said almost nothing.
You as a Canadian are restricted regarding your RRSP account as to what investments you are allowed to buy, and the tax system incentivizes buying Canadian Stock.
You bet. Why should we get tax breaks for investing somebody else's economy? There is nothing stopping us from making such investments though, we just don't get tax breaks on them.
Again, you see the world differently. Ultimately you don't see the individual investor, you ask the socialist question, what can they do for me? You also effectively deny the real life real market experience to your corporations. I know personally that they "bank" on the fact that dollars will come in just because of the xenophobic law.
When you get older and should you want to spend winters in Florida or Arizona
Why would I want to do that?
Again, all about yourself. Well, many older Canadians want to live in warmer climes in the winter, many need to for their health.
you can only leave for a certain amount of time in order to be elegible for health care and social security.
Six months is pretty reasonable. If you are spending more than half of your time in a foreign country, then your aren't living here, you are just visiting.
Even the eurotrash socialists don't require this of their citizens. So you are fine with telling people how long they can live away from Canada and you are OK with the nanny state extorting their residency by holding their health and welfare at risk. This is the kinder gentler Stalinism I spoke of. Most modernized countries, many even who are socialist, do not presume to tell their citizens where they can live and threaten their access to health care and their social security.
It's the only realistic way to continue the myths you are blathering and guaranteeing that you can continue to bash Americans.
You don't like it because it shows you to be wrong.
Yawn, more childish responses
We should rename you the cynic. You are so blinded by anger you can't see the light. Thousands of American Doctors give time, lots of it, something that Canadian Docs have trouble doing because they are slaves to the public system.
Canadian doctors give very generously of their time. Don't try to denigrate what they do because you want to tell lies about a country that you hate.
Gotchya on this one. Not even close. Unless a Canadian Doctor is retired, he is nothing more than employee and because so many Doctors leave Canada, you have a shortage, hence, the employers can't let them go as long or as often as American Docs. This again is not an indictment of Canadian Docs, they are awesome men and women who are oppressed by the system. many would LOVE to go and help and they are denied the opportunity by the hospital group. Again, you favor the system over the individual.
Everywhere I go in the world I see evidence of American Aid, not French, not German, not even Canadian aid. American Aid.
That's because the US stamps "US AID" on everything they send. Normal countries tend to work quietly behind the scenes. Here's a test for you though...ask people in the aid community what they think of Canadians. You will get a glowing report.
You know, I used to think that was true and as a youth doing the backpacking thing through Europe, Africa and the Middle and South East it was somewhat true. Canadians are now virtually unkown or irrelevant now. And how stupid to suggest that Canada doesn't stamp the maple leaf on whatever they send out. All the major ports and airports that recieve aid REQUIRE that the stuff be labelled AID and a flag or country code identifying it. It's a UN treaty thing to try to reduce theft.
You haven't got a clue and based on your talking points, you're getting your info off fanatical American socialist websites. Chapter and verse. You're busted Rev!
I don't spend any time at "fanatical American socialist websites." You've just shown yourself to be yet another anti-Canadian greed hog with no sould or compassion for anybody. Yet another twisted anti-human who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
