Ontario to Match U.S. DST Change
Devastator writes "CBC is reporting that Ontario will be the first Canadian province to change daylight savings rules to reflect the changes happening in the U.S in 2007. Attorney General Michael Bryant says 'the province's economy was the deciding factor and that if Ontario isn't on the same time as the United States, it will be hurt financially.'"
Fuck that shit.
In a Press Conference regarding Canada's hasty agreement to change their clocks when the US changes the clocks, President George Bush issued the following statement...
:
Bush : "Uh huh, thats what I thought"
Followed by a resounding
Bush : "Who's the bitch Noooowwww?!?!?"
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
Shut your fucking ass face bunch of fucking NIGGERS at SA! NIGGERS, THE LOT OF YOU! And FAGGOT ones at that! FAGS!
LOL BITTER HIPPY LOL
I bet you are a SomethingAwful.com FAGGOT NIGGER TOO!
Tumbleweed? Is that u?
A stupid decision made by a stupid politician. Sorry if I come across as a troll (or off-topic) but Michael Bryant deserves any and every harsh words that come his way. Google his name and anti-pitbull legistlation that was passed by him in Ontario. Read his quotes to get an idea of how his mind works - nothing but reactionary, fear-mongering diatribe. A TV journalist confronted him and put a book in front of his face and asked him to point out a pitbull. He couldn't even do that. Typical ignorant politician passing laws about topics they don't understand.
you know what?
fuck the US and fuck the bullshit beurocracy. The US gov't pisses me off so much with idiotic rules which serve the wealthiest minorities, i want to puke.
being an Ontario resident, i wonder why the hell we need to change how we compare our time to match the morons to the south.
with a country that does nothing but fuck the world up, i fail to understand why the hell any other country in the world still takes them seriously, especially one like Canada.
U.S.A: go fuck yourself.
This is not the greatest
I know this was modded funny, but it's not entirely a joke. There's a growing sentiment that Canada is being pushed around by the States. The US refusal to hand over $5 billion in duties that, as declared by the top NAFTA panel, it illegally took. Getting Canada to extradite citizens to the US when they have broken no Canadian laws, Deity Of Your Choice knows what else. This is just the latest in a long line of American bullshit being forced upon Canada.
What I find truly funny is how quick the US is to throw blame on Canada for *everything*. Canada encourages terrorits. Canada caused the The Great Blackout (which was a bald-faced lie, and I don't recall any appologies given later, either)
It really bothers me that the US just *expects* everyone will roll over and do whatever the US says, to happily take abuse and mud slung from the US. And then when the US doesn't get it's way, like a 2 year old it throws temper tantrum and decimates other countries.
And the American people wonder why no one else in the world likes them...
So, basically, you're saying the same thing as Bush.
Bush: "The American way of life is not negotiable."
You: "Our use of standard time should not be negotiable."
According to many studies, switching to DST saves fuel. (I'm not going to debate whether or not that is actually true, because you basically admitted that it was.) You're saying we SHOULDN'T try to save fuel by changing to DST? Just because you don't want to give up the idea that "time is absolute"? Now THAT is stubborn.
Of course we should try to increase our fuel economy, BUT if we can use even less fuel by changing to DST, why is that a bad thing?
Oil is concrete and limited. Time is abstract (and infinite?) Which is more important to you?
