  • If you told people the best way to pay off their debt was to cut their income and then try to cut some of their expenses, they'd laugh at you. Somehow Conservatives have been able to peddle that narrative for 40 years and, although they have never made it work, provincially or federally, they still have people believing them that the first thing to do is cut income (taxes). I voted for Harper the first time in hopes that maybe he had a different take being an "economist". Did not vote for him again.

  • This is all polls, given that ballots won't be counted until after 7pm April 28. If you didn't vote this weekend at advance, get out and vote on the 28th. Take your Voter Information card and driver's licence if you have them.

  • Whew. As a GenX, I didn't have any of those either. In fact I'm quite sure my Silent Gen parents didn't either. I don't know anyone who managed to pay off their mortgage before age 40 or 45 and the passive income only came as retirement funds after age 65.

  • All I can suggest is start anonymously reporting anyone who you know works in ICE or other related fields as "hidden" foreign agents or immigrants themselves and hope that they get deported. Since there isn't any due process, cast enough suspicion on them and they won't have a chance to prove otherwise.

  • It isn't even lock you up in the US but possibly send you to a slave camp in El Salvador. Why would any Canadian risk that?

    Time for what the US always suggests to other countries - time for Regime Change. Until Trump, his family, and his cronies are out of government, boycott the USA.

  • Trump has learned that people will allow him to keep crossing over their "red line" and will draw an new red line. He's been doing it for years. Now Americans are saying he can throw out the Constitution, so long as they aren't yet personally impacted, but they will react at some future point when he gets even worse, maybe.

  • When I shopped on Sunday Save-On-Foods had onions from Alberta (instead of the usual USA ones) and Hams were divided into to freezer sections - one Canadian made, and the other USA. They are slowly, very slowly, understanding that many of us will go without if we can't buy Canada first, Mexico, Europe & S America and Asia next and never USA.

  • 40 years ago, I loved driving. Even 20 years ago it wasn't bad. Lots of open roads near by. In the big city, rush hour was 30 mins in the morning and an hour or so in the late afternoon. Other than those times you could get around the city quite well. There were always some yahoo drivers but they were a small part of the population not a majority. Now I walk whenever I can, take the bus sometimes and only drive if I know I can do it in the lower traffic (although still busy) times. I'd like to bike more but unless it is a completely separated lane there are too many badly driven vehicles to take chances with my life.

  • So what? The election is over for at least another 18 months or 3 1/2 years - if there is another full election. Doesn't matter now that Trump already had their vote and won. 99.9% can disapprove and nothing will change.
