    I am sure shareholder don't agree with multi-million dollar parachutes.

    Polls show 80% of America does not want this bail out of wall street, so I would think that perspectives have changed.

    No, it's about middle class vs. big corporations.

    It's helping main street, over rewarding greedy companies.

    ziggy, how rich is rich enough? These multi-billion dollar companies take presidence of the working family. (not sure why you defend billionaires, you will never be one.)

    I believe in free market and the chance for people to make money, but when CEO pay goes up 106.8 percent, but workers' wages went down... something is fundamentally wrong.

    The NDP is also counting on what it calls a �peace dividend.� That's the projected savings from the party's plan to withdraw combat troops from Afghanistan. NDP officials say the estimate comes from an Access to Information request to the Department of National Defence. The party estimates a savings of $600-million in 2009, rising to $1.1-billion in 2010 and the same amount in 2011.


    He'll save more than that when he guts the Canadian Forces and parades them through places like Sudan and Haiti more lightly armed that the Edmonton Police Service wearing blue helmets with bullseyes on the back.

    Well I don't see any reason for Canada's military to be so powerful or well armed.

    Last time I looked Canada's not being invaded, we are not at war with any country, we have the most powerful military as our neighbor to the south... which is a pretty big deterrent to a Canadian invasion.

    We have been pushed into Afghanistan, and about all we are doing is protecting illicit drug trade of rich clansmen.

    Great, so do we have the US military at our beck and call now?

    Maybe the US wants to give us the authority to deploy some carrier battlegroups or a division of infantry...

    your right, in fact, I don't see why Canada is a nation at all? who cares about Canadian values and threat deterrent.

    it doesn't matter if someone violates Canadian waters etc

    after all we have the US to protect us...don't we?

    Threat deterrent, against who???

    If Canada actually had a threat...

    O.K. Russia plants a few flags. They could plant one in Ottawa, it does not mean they now own Canada.

    What are we going to do, declare war against Russia? Denmark? whoever...

    Nope, military or no military, it will all end up in an international court.

    Well off to the advance polling this evening... and you know who I will be voting for before 9:00PM this evening. :wink:

    Hey tritium, which companies are going to step up to the plate and provide jobs when the big bad billionaires say the hell with this crap, we're not going to pay anymore taxes here, and move to Mexico.
