Nonsense, Q? I don't pay those kind of prices and *I* could afford to. You are out of touch with the reality that Canuck families are STRUGGLING to raise their children. Seriously, although I admire you greatly for your posts and wisdom, that's pretty low. Tell that to my buddy trying to raise three kids when gas just went up again... when his food budget has more than tripled in four years... when his taxes have gone up... when his emplyoer cut profit sharing... and so on.
Nonsense? Fuck me. That is rich.
And, as for the CBC, who's ass are they kissing by putting the "spin" on "it could have been much worse" one thousand times in ten minutes? The loss of 20k fed jobs is a GOOD THING? WTF? Oh, it will be thru attrition, so that's okay? No loss of services? Faster immigration is a good thing? Lees environmental regulation id a good thing (for the oil companies)?
And the capper... raising the age of receiving the old age pension to 67. Did the fucker change the law for mandatory retirement at 65, did he?
I ask that question in earnest. I don't know the answer. Did he?
If not, he should be hung from the nearest tree... even if he did, I still think he is a rich, arrogant asshole for sucking the dick of the oil patch ande fucking over the people who built this country.
