You whine because you never look at your own mistakes, instead blame the boogey man on everything. I gave you an example of the way you treated the beer trade, it is analogous with todays lumber dispute.

I don't recall the US ever bombing Canada by the way, we have hundreds of thousands of items being traded every single day, and you pick one out of all of them. Yes, the US is wrong on the lumber issue, but you have your own skeletons.

Granted, but everyone has their own skeletons. But America skeletons and the rats that live among them, if you know what I mean.


And I said bully, not bomb.

we don't have the manpower to continue at the rate we are going.

Make more babies! Canada has had an unusually low birth rate (less than sustaining), probably influenced by economic conditions. Now that the economy is improving, it is time to encourage family building. What Canada needs to do is to make sure that economic gains are distributed broadly to the people.

The whole Western world has an unusually low birthrate. I don't think the economy has anything to do with it at all considering Canada's economy has been doing well the past decade but rather the child care programs and lack of incentives that drive people to not have family's. More tight restrictions on immigration also doesn't help much.

Hmm, that must be why African and Asian countries have such spectacularly high birthrates. All of those excellent child care programs must be driving them to pop kids out that fast.

Margarine: The Province of Quebec continues to apply coloring restrictions on margarine. In addition, provincial restrictions on the marketing of butter/margarine blends and imitation dairy products have served to limit and, in certain cases, prohibit the sales of these products in many provinces. The provinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are challenging Quebec's provincial coloring regulations.

so we are protecting citizen's health

That has nothing to do with health but with trying to,protect the dairy farmers... or so they say... was to make margerine not as enticing as real butter..
