    Coalition Gov't or Bloodless Coup, Canadians?

    you are either far too young, or don't know your history. Regardless of that, of course it's a good deal for Duceppe and Quebec, but that's the problem, it's bad for the rest of Canada, and frankly, that is what I care about. Anyways, happy the sanity has prevailed, at least temporarily, and...

    Just got back from a tour of the new Vancouver Convention Centre Expansion. Fucking unbelievable. Over-budget? Who the fuck cares, the thing is amazing. It won't be long till they make their money back. And the place looks like it will be loaded with restaurants, all with unbelievable views...

    Macbook. Pro

    Seriously the new top-end MacBook is basically a mini-MacBook Pro. They really bumped the specs. The plastic ones they sell now are not as good of a deal as the refurbished, the mid-range (entry level Aluminum ones) are good, but the high-end Aluminum ones are fantastic. Great value. Unless you...

    Got a Canon 30D today! So pumped! I have to wait until Christmas to use it, but still. I have lot of reading to do until then, but can't wait to get out there and start taking photos. Hopefully this will mean sweet-ass TRs soonish.

    Armada vs Faction!

    There is absolutely nothing similar about Armada ARVs and Faction 3.Zeros. The 3.Zeros are stiff, burly fat skis and destroy the crud and pow. Awesome ski. I usually prefer longer skis (190+) but the 3.Zero's best size is the 185. This is something you could ski everyday out west (too big for...

    Is anyone sick of the word "legit"?

    I despise the word.

    Coalition Gov't or Bloodless Coup, Canadians?

    I don't know if you're referring to me, but I've never called this a separatist coalition. A coalition that depends on separatists for survival is what it is. And I don't consider the PC anywhere within the new Conservative Party. It is essentially the Reform party by another name. How many...

    Coalition Gov't or Bloodless Coup, Canadians?

    Of course the Bloc has a platform. One completely dedicated to Quebec. Separatist is probably a misnomer, they'd rather stay in Canada, bleed us dry, and use article 91 to get themselves out of whatever they don't like (I have taken a Canadian Polisci class). Of course we vote for MPs. But look...

    Coalition Gov't or Bloodless Coup, Canadians?

    The Conservative Party might have been a "coalition" 4 years ago when they first combined the Reform and Progressive Conservatives, but as soon as they were one party and you were able to vote for that one party, they ceased being a coalition. I may not speak for all Canadians, but I would bet...

    Yay skiing! Actually did both Whistler and Blackcomb today. lol. Blackcomb was better. The explosives were wicked, snow was heavy but still fun. Good workout for the out of shape legs. Everything was going great.....until literally one of the LAST turns on the way back to the gondola. Two...

    Well JD said with otherwise identical candidates, Sauder wins hands down. Obviously if you have better personal skills or more experience it changes the game. And that $3k figure is misleading. If I am not mistaken, you are American? You're fees would be quite a bit higher. Not US college high...

    Actually JD, I was mistaken. When the Liberals eliminated the option of corporate funding for political parties, they set the individual donation limit at $5000, and the Tories subsequently lowered it to $1000. Also, the average donation to the Tories was just over $100, actually lower than the...

    I am SO stoked Harper has proposed to cut the public subsidy to political parties in Canada. Yes, it's mean, and I love every minute of it. 6 years ago the Liberal Party banned corporate donations to political parties, and instead had the government give $1.95 per vote to the political parties...
