Money will definitely be a problem if it's just wasted. Canada would be so broke,if it cost $1 to go around the world,we won't be able to afford to get out of sight. I'm much more concerned what this unaccountable minority government can do to our civil rights.Quote:

Thankfully, Scheer saw through that Trojan horse, and refused to support the bill until amended......Quote:

I’ve taken to meditating again. My brain is hard wired to work certain ways. It’s been burning jet fuel the last month.
On one hand, even with this topic. I suspect it (or similar) is needed, going to be needed. On the other, or as a result, I’m “ terrified”.
So, meditating helps quite my mind. Remind me, it’s all out of my control. Whatever is coming, in the few days, over the week. Will Covid touch my house, or my daughters. The economic fallout that’s sure to come...
It’s going to be.
From what I’ve read, it will take all party buy-in to get passed.Quote:

As I said. “Terrifying”
Socialist, 'light', countries are also the ' happiest' in the world. Led by Finland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and the Netherlands. They are also all in the top ten for 'quality of life'. Go figure. :thumbup:
We could do that,too,if we weren't too busy shutting down our "paycheque" industries like oil and gas,renewable natural resources production and sales. Besides,"socialist" politicians in Europe seem to take a more mature,common sense attitude towards fiscal and social responsibility and restraint than ours have shown of late.Quote:
