Sounds a lot like the Dirty Thirties.

It suddenly got really quiet in here....everyone is probably too cold to post right now!

The union and the government feeling that there aren't enough women in admin is not evidence of a pay gap, it just means that less women are applying for admin jobs. Or there is sexism. Or something else. The only way a "pay gap" would exist is if women are working the same jobs as men in admin and being paid less for that job. Do you know if this is happening?

about the gender pay gap? Where? When?? the only bull**** being exhibited here is you making excuses for why there is no evidence that the gender pay gap exists. I'm not teeing off on Hillary at all. Please post some links from her.

who will we get for it though?

Maybe he can join Burmi in the KHL. I see Postma is there now.

I call BS on this. I say that no one can find any evidence and so grasp at straws instead rather than admit that they've potentially bought into a giant pile of hooey. I do love it though when its everyone else who has the "closed mind" on issues like this, by asking questions. That 9ne made me laugh. Not really. If one focuses on the actual arguments rather than making up excuses to hide or derail, it just shows that they really have nothing to back up their argument. If she had a relevant point to the discussion I would love it! Like you feel with Milo, I find Hillary to be a "vile person", but if she has a view and it isnt just unproven dogma I would want to hear it. For sure. For instance, when she was practicing law, did she get paid less than other lawyers who were defending rapists? That would be interesting to hear, though it was a long time ago.

I hope Laine gets some major cramps soon too.

Hope he gets his chance with someone. Sounds like a good guy and has a lot of talent.

All three of them. Nenshi will be like "Bo Levi who?" as he looks at the picture of him and BLM at the Grey Cup last year.

Speaking of coming home, could lightning strike twice with the Blues and Alex Steen be plucked by Chevy? Or would he just be another older Bryan Little?

Once again no examples given, just attacking the messenger not the message, with no real value added to the discussion whatsover. If "you knew this thing was completely *****" as you say, it would be nice if you could provide some backup to that statement. But you can't. And that's the problem. And it looks like you didnt bother to watch the video in the OP either. And that's shame on you. Political correctness is a funny thing. Some people are angered by its doctrines, some blindly believe everything they are told despite any proof (and this belief is reinforced when people they are told are "vile" disagree with said doctrines) and then there are people like me, who simply ask questions. And its actually amazed me how unwilling or unable those who have chosen to believe this doctrine re gender pay gaps have been able to answer my and others' questions. It makes me wonder why smart people are so willing to do this. To blindly accept something as truth without evidence, because they are told to. And reject anything shown to the contrary. It is actually fascinating.

Who do you give up?

Not really. And who cares. Or what....????

Just because you think someone is vile doesn't make it so.. it seems like the main criterion for being "vile" is that they disagree with whatever is "acceptable" according to the radical left. But he's not the only one in the video. And you know that. This smells like another derailment attempt.

Back on topic:

That sounds a bit more saner than "hundreds of billions". I always take what Tides and Sierra say and divide by 10 to get the actual. Some multiple by 10 it appears. There should be a political will to get oil companies to pony up the $3 billion needed. I agree.

I think the oil companies should be on the hook for it no question. Are they not? If not, why not?

Thanks dude!

Several hundred billion eh? The most "out there" environmental websites I can find say that the cost is more likely $40 billion. Hundreds of billions seems to be really really on the high side. Did you look into that number at all or know where it came from? I will agree though that clean up costs need to be dealt with. I wouldn't classify them as a subsidy though. If you are talking about the First Nations at Fort Chip that has long been proven to be a hoax. The doctor that made the fake "study" was canned several years ago. The cancer rates weren't higher. The whole "cancer rates are higher"thing was a fraud. The Chief now is a big oil sands proponent and all is good. https://www-cbc-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4613003?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCCAE%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbc.ca%2Fnews%2Fcanada%2Fedmonton%2Ffort-mcmurray-first-nations-and-m%C3%A9tis-pipelines-1.4613003 It's sad that these fake news stories get so much attention, and the exposure of the fraud gets so little attention. You would have known that you had been played! I agree. But I have gotten used to it from the man-made climate change crowd. They hate being challenged, on anything. And either run away when called out, or claim you are "attacking" them. Whatever happened to defending a position? Why is that so unacceptable? Well I certainly wouldn't say anything about "libtards" as that would imply that you guys aren't smart. That isn't the case. You guys are smart. I just think that you might have let innate confirmation biases cloud your judgement. It's good to question accepted norms. It's good to have conversations with those who disagree with you. It's good to listen to the other side. Blocking people and running away when questioned just leads to closed minds never opening. I don't block people, ever.

Not sure why it would be me. I wasnt the one blocking people for calling into question highly questionable statements. The Syria thing really threw me for a loop. Don't get that at all.

Mark/mods: Is it possible to hive off this union stuff and put it in a separate thread? Just curious. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I figured as much regarding the gender pay gap but thanks for confirming.
