Yeah Yeah

You all to the north just crack me up.

I very much like your understated ways...understatement is so much more devastating than any number of rants. Wink

I'm sure you've noticed that we tend to rant a bit down south.

All the best,

George

Canadians are known to politely take it (where you think they put it) and patiently wait out what will happen.

Then it happens. The entire nation rises up and says to the Prime Minister STFU.

Mulroney knows the truth of this....too bad Kim Cambell wasn't good for much than Mulroney fodder. (in case you wonder, PM Cambell was the first female Canadian prime minister - her term lasted 4 months)

We are a happy quiet folk who go about our business, until the government decides to cross the arbitraty line.

You got that right Cat, we are quiet till it comes time to vote. Kim did not stand a chance after Mulroney shoved the GST (Government Screwing Tax) down our throat.
He stepped down as PM 4 months before election time.

There, that is my rant for the day.

Ya know Angie, for good or bad, Trudeau was one who was either hated or loved, but you have to admire his ability to tell the people "look, this is how it is, I'm going to screw you over it, end story" - no BS, just plain and simple - your screwed hehe.

I'll hold my tongue on some of his other antics because I don't wish to offend. As for Stevie boy.....OY - all though I suppose it could be the Bloc....

It's far too difficult to follow the politics of 2 countries LOL.

What's sad about the grab and steal tax is that at 7% they realized they were making more money than they could hide, so they had to drop the rate. Now tell me that a flat tax wouldn't work....

Ok, my rants done hehe

Whoosh LOL,

You should be complementing him on his British ways, since the quote is from "The Holy Grail"

I hope Obama leaves his bad politics in the great white north, hopefully in a snow drift that won't melt in 100 years because of global cooling.

When in doubt, ask yourself about the power.
