    We get wildly different views from Canadians on poly. We don't know what to believe when the Canadians square off against each other in these threads.

      Oh. The intercanadian stuff is just what happens when you have a political process that encourages actual discussion instead of stifling it.

        We have so much free disscussion that its spilling out over the rims. May not be so plessant to hear 90 percent of the time but it's free. (after tv and radio have gotten their cut of course)

            That's exactly my point. Well, more precisely, more leverage can be exerted against multiple trading partners, but yes.

                And of course, in the South, a majority of White Americans would vote YES to secession if only they weren't held back by the Black minority.

We went balls out on oil (and have more of it, most likely) they have not encouraged exploration (but they have encouraged other mineral extraction).

                  Half of Saskatchewan's native sons and daughters moved to Alberta (so the story goes) but still they plod along and are managing to get things done.

                  We can hope but NS has many challenges considering that their offshore industry has stagnated. For example, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers CAPP) just closed their Halifax office. Thats only 2-3 jobs but its more an indicator of the industry's view of the area. Note that the CAPP office in NL remains open.

                  Actually NL is making a bid to pull itself into the "have" category with the elimination of transfer clawbacks on its oil revenue. Basically they are asking for the chance to get ahead. Otherwise they have nots can be like the welfare family that has a dollar deducted from their benefits for every dollar they earn

                      I think it's a tribute to the good job the NDP has done here. Either that or it's a pathetic display by most of the rest of Canada I think we have like the lowest percentage of taxpayers in our population here!

                        • I think it would be a great loss for Canada and Quebec if Quebec seperated. I appreciate the presence of French culture in Canada. That being said, I think the policys of appeasement are ridiculous.

                          • These figures include proposed additional payments to Equalization-receiving provinces announced in Budget 2004, subject to passage of authorizing legislation.
                            Really. So BC is screwed?

                            Look at your own source!

                            They are increasing the payments, so BC will receive more, even if their economic situation improves.

                            Secondly, Alberta and Ontario are booming. If BC falls further behind both, then they will continue to receive equalisation payments. This doesn't mean that things aren't getting better here.

                                Calgary is the cleanest major city in the world, and also beautiful.

                                You just get paid more, enjoy far lower crime rates, far lower taxes, and enjoy a lower cost of living.

                                And it doesn't rain in Calgary 364.9 days a year.

                                FWIW, Calgary and Vancouver have identical temperatures right now as well.

                                Except Vancouver is raining and Calgary is not.
