India Outsourcers Find Back Door in Canada

securitas writes "Metro International newspapers Toronto edition reports that more Indian companies are opening back doors into the United States by setting up shop in Canada. The issue of outsourcing, offshoring and nearshoring has become a hot issue, with the 2004 presidential election less than a week away. Candidate John Kerry has said he will close the tax loophole that makes it advantageous to outsource call centers."

Pre-Emptive strike on Canada!!!

...that is after France, Russia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Palestine, Germany, Florida, and this little Iraq mess is cleaned up, and then I guess there is North Korea to deal with and China and maybe Australia is looking at us a little side-ways and needs a 20kiloton dropped a couple miles off of Sydney just to shake them up. Deal with yourselves America, you were a great country only 40 years ago but now its all crocodile tears rolling down a pair of disgustingly flabby cheeks.

Some cultures are inferior to others.

Here in the USA, we recognize that some cultures are inferior to others. For example, Mexico is the product of Mexican culture. Japan is the product of Japanese culture, which is now part of Western culture. Mexico is inferior to Japan due to the values of Mexicans.

Mexico is rife with corruption because its people are fundamentally dishonest. By contrast, the phenomenal honesty of the Japanese (even compared to traditional Westerners like the Americans) helped Japan to succeed. Police stations in Japan are "littered" with lost-and-found items because strangers frequently submit items (e.g. cash, umbrellas, etc.) that they find.

"A tenet of the democrats is to help the disadvantaged.". Doesn't it bother you that republicans don't even have that tenant. That they don't believe in helping the disadvantaged?

If that were true, it would be one of the few areas in which I and Republicans actually agree.

Any attempt to neutralize a societal disadvantage through charity will only entrench it further, for two reasons:

1. The more disadvantaged will no longer have any incentive to overcome their deficiency.
2. The less disadvantaged will try to enhance their disability in order to qualify for aid.

Cynical? Yes. That's reality. You don't have to like it or agree with it; you just have to live with it.

No.

It could be embarassing seeing him saying how great Canada's
burritos and Corona are after he conquers Mexico.

Would that be more or less embarrassing than when Dan Quayle was heading for Latin America and mentioned that he needed to brush up on his Latin?

These Republicans need to learn the ways of these other countries and have a little respect for their cultures before they bomb them to oblivion.

Quoted for freakin' Truth!

you sir, have made my friends list.

#2 is extremely common in my area. Poor families just keep pumping out the kids to qualify for assistance.

I have no problem with charity, and I occasionally give to known organizations like the Red Cross, but the forced charity (read: COMMUNISM) of the liberals has to stop.

If people want to give their money to support "disadvantaged" people, let them do it with their own free will. If it turns out that they don't want to, well then I guess the "disadvantaged" will either have to figure out how to become productive members of society, or they can just die. Either way, there's less leechers living off a share of my money.
