Has anybody seen the list of election promises? Are they joking or just stupid? The Green Party has made all kinds of promises about tackling poverty, forgiving" half of a student loan (if they earn a degree), more grants, tax shifting etc, etc, etc,.....without ONCE giving an estimated cost...

You get what you pay for. Yes Air Canada is a pain in the ass a lot of the time, to point of being the company you love to hate. But at least they are big enough to stay on the media's radar. I don't think they would ever be able to just "close up shop" overnight, sans warning. Same for Westjet...

Thank you both. For once it's good to hear about a useless post.

To anybody who may know: What's up with the Athana RIP thread? Has she passed away? Retired? Or did somebody just start a pointless thread? I hope it's the last possibility. I always enjoyed her posts, even though I never got to enjoy her company.

metoo4, you may be correct about the mileage numbers you got. I won't argue with you. I cannot remember what I was reading, which is why I didn't quote anybody. If I can find the information again, I will pass it along. I don't understand your issue with what I said in the third quote, about...

metoo4, in a previous post you mentioned that polution was being addressed. Could you please elaborate? The only new thing that governments have come up with to curtail pollution is ....drum roll please....a carbon tax. Gee. A new tax. Big surprise. If I correctly understand how the new system...

Please read what you quote johnhenrygalt, do you read ALL of what you quote? Have another look. I said "...knowing the difference between discipline and abuse. If I cross that line, then the courts should get involved." If you were, and I'm not saying you were, raised in an abusive home, then I...

metoo4, I'm disappointed to find out that you, unless I misunderstood your post, support the loss of freedom of choice. I have read many of your posts and found them to be very informative and articulate. If you have no problem letting someone else decide your life for you though, so be it. If...

Nanny State: A world where freedoms are controlled by Government There have been a couple threads recently bringing the "Nanny State" issue to light. Disturbing, and enlightening. The first and most blatant example was the judge who overruled a parent's punishment of a disobedient...

It depends on where you want to go, and when. If you have a specific destination and date, try the usual suspects, Expedia, Travelocity etc. If you're not fussy, try the airlines own "vacation" websites. You can't really have an "absolute" destination in mind, so you might have to compromise...

Dorval Airport, just like every other major airport in Canada, is on FEDERAL land. ADM, GTAA, etc, are just "running" them. Security on federal property, excluding military installations, should be the responsibility of the RCMP. Not a bunch of retired ex-cops and police tech wannabe's working...

KFC. Funny how there's never any Seagulls around THEIR dumpsters. Seriously, La Belle Province, or Lafleurs. I regularly see them handle a raw hamburger patty, and then go get a hot dog ready. No gloves. Hello e-coli. Hasn't stopped me though. I guess cayenne pepper kills bacteria.

Long winded, but may be of some help I agree with DirtyOWL to point, your car will run on regular, but not as well. As a long term way to save a few bucks at the pump, I respectfully disagree. Higher octane is required for higher performing engines. Part of that higher performance is a...

Reneault 2CV, 1962 Dodge Dart, Pontiac Ass-tech, almost every car in any Fast and Furious movie.

With the recent rise of gas prices, there has been a ton of articles in the various forms of media on how to get more MPG. I travel a good distance every day to get back and forth to work, approx 160 km round trip, so naturally I tried a couple of techniques I had read about. Much to my...

Uh...no, that's ok Athana. I'm already done. Sorry about your DVD player, I'll get you a new one.

Did anybody participate in this "Earth hour" thing? For the benefit of people like me, who only heard about it within the last 24 hours, Earth hour was/is a global voluntary blackout. From (I think) 8-9 pm, people around the world turned off their lights, tv's, etc, to try and raise...

If I hear 1 more skier/snow boarder/snow mobiler say how FU##ING great it is, I won't be posting for a long time. Bring on summer, in all it's short skirt glory.

I'm not being argumentative Mr Peterman, just curious. You stated that you would not go "without a fight". In all sincerity, how do you plan to fight? Prices by geographic area are still determined by the oil companies. Short of car-pooling, I can't really figure out how to fight them. Suggestions?
