You can't just put an entire broadcast crew together on 3 days notice.... Lol. Let's enjoy some Irving, folks...

Not with that attitude you can't

You guys in Alberta have only been NDP for three weeks and you've already adopted their "can't do" attitude. That's not what Alberta was built on...

i saw a fb what are they called meme's? anyways its said, tired of ppl making like 12 million dollars to make a movie telling me to donate when i make $12 an hour. very few ppl got rich by helping the needy, and i'd image very few would part with their fortunes after they made.

They will never part with their fortunes. Which is crazy because you ain't taking it with you.

The rich don't often make it to heaven.

I'm also very tired of the rich celebrities telling normal people how to live. ......like celebrities know anything worth while........if a celebrity told you something, it's probably evil.

Well Ben Affleck anyway...

As opposed to what government, the media or mufti-national corporations tell you?

Nope. Pretty much the same. Media and the few rich families that own them all are a part of it. It's a rich, connected tapestry. I say 'celebrities' because they influence people more than politicians. They're literally worshipped.

Well, that's why I stll hang around here........to help put things into their proper perspective....

And this from a man who uses George Orwell as his avatar.

 

Very passe'- 1984 is long gone.

 

But one trusts....that intelligence, clarity and articulation are not....

 

 

The day that I read "all animals are created equally, but some are more equal than others" I knew I would always fight against socialism.    That sums up that horrible philosophy perfectly.

Keep pushing to upgrade our DT's for sure.

Don't know how this has gone political (someone once told me that 'everything' is political) so not surprised....IF we use Greece as an example....capitalism is due for a 'correction' much like the socialist system has has had to go through...AND anyone suggesting the new socialist leader in that country is responsible for their current mess...well that would be incorrect as it was a capitalist mess they inherited..

 

I agree totally ...keep pushing to upgrade our DT's...we definitely have to make ourselves better in that dept.

Happy Canada Day you socialist pigs

Happy Canada Day you socialist pigs

 

 

And a Happy Canada Day to the right wing hogs  (no reference to our o line guys though)

Greece's problems are neither capitalist or socialist. All their problems stem from the fact that everyone wants to work only two hours a day, pay no taxes, and retire at 45 on a full pension. Somehow no one in Greece is capable of doing basic math, otherwise they would see their way of life is unsustainable. When you stop working for a living and just vote for a living you end up like Greece. They never should have been let into the EU.

Maybe Italy, who owes zillions and Ireland and a few others who use the euro shouldn't have been allowed in either....Pretty sure they are well entrenched in the capital system...Gonna be some huge ramifications my friend...Let the correction begin.....AND go get em Bombers tomorrow...we're about to do a little correcting ourselves...

Right on. The problems have been years in the making, pretty much the same as California where a certain Austrian-born governor managed the economy by cutting taxes (always popular) and borrowing to cover state expenses. California has been broke for about a decade but no one wants to call the markers in, but Greece has not had any such luck. Iceland tried the same approach. And by the way, the financial advisor Greece has had on retainer for the past 12 years is....Goldman Sachs.

Not sure what that means.  You would prefer they were "entrenched" in a communist system?  It doesn't matter what system you are entrenched in if your people don't want to pay income taxes, and the government can't be bothered to collect them, or enforce income tax laws.  It also doesn't matter what system you are in when your people decide they want everything for nothing, and think they are entitled to it.  You are pretty much screwed at that point.  Have a look at the Roman Empire at its peak.  Why did it fail?  Because everyone stopped working for a living, and just had a big party, and they became so soft that they were easy prey for other warring nations that just tore the entire empire apart.

If you want some insight into the Greek mind, just look at how other countries have planned for and built infrastructure for the Olympics. They always build with a future plan to use the infrastructure, or move it somewhere else. They have a plan. Greece didn't have a plan for their 2004 Olypmics. They just built these massive stadiums with hundreds of millions of borrowed euros, and now they are all just rotting, unused. Typical Greek planning. That's why that country is so screwed. They have become the welfare case of Europe.

I'm too lazy to go looking for the link - but the problem of unused and rotting Olympics infrastructure isn't unique to Greece.

Nor is it unique to the Olympics.  See the World Cup in Brazil.

how bout the USA? 

 

Pontiac Silverdome built 1975 for 55 million by  the city for the lions, who kindly left twenty five years later. Leaving the City a massive white

 

elephant.

 

sold for five hundred thousand dollars, now abandoned, and falling apart. 

 

Recently gone broke City of Detroit was fortunately able to chip in to build a new arena for the Lions to move to. The lions owned by 

 

Someone in the Ford family, who undoubtedly need the help, while the other folks in Detroit, can go screw themselves when their city gets

 

auctioned off. 

 

Olympics no matter where held, are a feast for a few people, and a financial sore  for the rest.

 

 

Forest fire smoke is starting to bother me. also, went for a walk, just picked off five ticks. probably some more hiding on me somewhere.

 

Update… found another tick.

According to Brad Wall's ads during the game, they seem pretty proud they aren't NDP anymore. I can see that logic.

So sane that they elected an MP who believes that children ought to carry guns to school.

When I was in grade five I brought my pappy's shot-gun to school, and the principal called me in to the office.  To show me his 12 gauge and compare notes on different types of ammo.

Saskatchewan is the envy of Manitoba. And soon to be Alberta.
