My previous employer was based in Quebec. They had "inspections" from the government to ensure they follow stupid provincial laws (like using French keyboards).

That's hilarious

[Asher]

I had to bring a keyboard from home. They gave me French keyboards even when I worked from Toronto.

For most people it's not a big deal, but it ****s up the position of {}[] etc.

Also:

Ontario receives $17.85B in federal money in 2011. $2.2B of it comes from "Equalization" payments. Total federal funding per capita is $1,337.

Alberta is subsidizing the rest of Canada in a massive way. And still we get no respect with constant calls from Quebec & the Liberals to cripple the industry that is not only bringing Alberta great wealth, but paying for your ****ing government services as well.

To be fair, this is a new situation for ON. We are suffering the double hit of the recession and McGuinty.

[notyoueither]

It certainly isn't sustainable, either.

[Wezil]

What's that? McGuinty?

Agreed. His expiry date is this fall.

[Asher]

I think he means Ontario being a have-not province.

[Wezil]

The two go hand in hand.

[Asher]

Zing.

[Wezil]

How's that new mayor working out for you guys? The press seems to have moved on.

[Asher]

My only complaint so far is he's made LRT parking free again. But then he added a portion of the lot to be reserved on a monthly basis. But now it costs me $10 more a month to park.

Fiscally, it's painless to do. It's also negligible for the government and a HUGE social issue that Harper is on the wrong side of, nationally.

A solid majority of Canadians do not want abortion funding. Of the main parties, how many of them have that plank? Zero. Harper is on the wrong side of it because he is pro abortion, just like all the rest of the leaders and parties.

How much does it cost per year?

Oddly the government does not provide those statistics despite the fact that the public is paying for it. So we can guesstimate, but the government has an obligation to provide these numbers.

It's no different then say an FOI for the amount of military spending the previous year. However, the government will not own up to what they have spent.

Because that's messy. And also because fetuses aren't children. They're parasites.

And Abortions aren't messy? I've got pictures for you.

Welfare bums aren't parasites but unborn children are? That's rather silly.

Obviously the people who call themselves "pro life" when voting Liberal aren't all that pro life.

Paul Szabo says hello.

We have a national healthcare system. If you don't like it, you can stay in Texas. Please do, by the way.

I intend to do just that.

[Wezil]

Is that even in the right thread?

Back on topic. I want to know what the various parties plan to do about the rising coffee prices? They need to do a much better job of buying my vote.

[Hauldren Collider]

TBH, BK seems like a welfare bum to me. "Tutoring?" Dude couldn't ****ing tutor a driving school with brains like his.

[Hauldren Collider]

Oh, and here's hoping Ben can ruin Texas so Virginia is "most business friendly state" again this year.

[Wezil]

BK would make a great Texan for so many reasons.

The fact he will take that statement as a compliment being one of them.
