Agreed....The Senate system must be changed.


Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

To me the resource distribution is simple. Mineral wealth of the inland Provenances is being used to buy votes in the Sea Land provinces.

In my life time, my view of a Canadian that once was of a hearty individual who fearlessly faced the wilderness. My experience over the years in Canada changed that view to a couple of snow flakes so indoctrinated in Union rules they would not reach up and open a valve, an arrogant Mountie who with the blessing on some one higher up who was regularly violating US aviation rules and civil servants with menially jobs making things as difficult as they could. I could go on but you Canadians have a terribly flawed political system that is going to bring your country to its knees.

What you state may be 'a' system....but not ours.

What cb said -

"Our political parties' members elect their leaders. The parties nominate candidates for election of Members of Parliament. The leader of the party who has the most seats in Parliament typically is named Prime Minister."

This is very close, except, the leader of the winning party must still be elected by the people of his or her riding....That is why parties pick leaders that can actually win in their riding.



Our system is dreadful because people often behave dreadfully. But in our system when the people realize they have been dreadful and foolish they can change things.

Changed drastically, but it's not going to happen the party in power is not going to give up the lock on ruling the Government they now enjoy.

It would be a good place to eat and an outstanding place to watch girls.

pooch, I've never heard anyone say their political system is perfect. Nor a citizen of a country in political chaos predict that a neighbouring country would suffer similarly. Canada's first-quarter economic growth led the G7. Canada is discussing electoral reform seriously.

I learned from years of working in Texas that things there aren't all bigger and better, as they say. Your complaint against a political system, unions, overbearing cops and civil servants is common everywhere, piddling compared to the pain Americans and the world is bearing from Washington.

By any measure, Canada has peace, order and better governance. Chauvinistic and somewhat rude to say, pooch, but sometimes these things need saying. Everyone has a responsibility to make the world safer from fools. Not that you're a fool but you're saying foolish things. Regards, King

How's that reorganizing going, King? Brussels and Ottawa got it figured out yet?

There is also a theory, based on one of the Sagas, that the Norse also had a settlement farther south, possibly in what is now the US. It appears the main reason they had settlements over here was to take advantage of the cod fishery on the Grand Banks. A fishery that has been destroyed by the Zebra Mussel infestation of the Great Lakes. The sad thing is that the water fertility problem could be solved by iron seeding, but the UN has come out against it because it's contrary to their Global Warming Dogma.

Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
