A bit off topic, but I've noticed massive ideological differences in opinion over this.
The National Post comments (and recommendations) were purely negative in regards to this decision, while the Globe and Mail and CBC they were almost unanimously positive.
Divided country? |

Demographics trumps war.
The Argies could've had the Falklands if the Falklands had a large Spanish/Argentine population.
They don't.
I doubt they will attempt to take over the island again.
Who fights wars with bombs anyways? Demographics trumps war. |

Gunnair Gunnair: Yeah... that's it. Nailed it. He's just out to fuck those guys that are breaking the law.
Everyone else just calls that being a big meanie... or doing his job. One of the two.

Legalizing drugs in the US won't solve Mexico's lack of employment opportunities and civil service corruption.
But it will make the world a better place in general. |

Why this matters, I see no reason.
Does anyone care if university grads working at department stores just a little above minimum wage are over qualified? Mind you, they make far less than strippers.
Strippers actually make good money. Possibly more than most university grads. |
