Harper's regime is the main reason me and my partner (who is Canadian FWIW) haven't gone to Canada because sadly even the Tories here in the UK are better than his lot, and that really is saying something.
That's pretty delusional. After all, the torries in the UK have done amazing things like rolling back freedoms, and attempting to crush the press. Can you point out exactly what evils the Torries in Canada have done that's on the same level.
Considering the majority of Britain's smartest and most productive people have already fled from the country? Your comment is pretty moot. They've already moved to Canada or Australia, some would have gone to the US but the application process is too long.
So they can get paid less....? Any doctor that's that dumb is welcome to go, IMHO.
Yeah that's pretty good, funny enough we've been picking up doctors the last while because "money isn't everything" rather better working conditions trump all. Same reason why they're going to Germany and Switzerland and leaving the US. I'll let you figure out why.
I see that the pro-obamabot trolls are out though. Some people seem to forget that there is no -1 I disagree.
Well what do you expect no one in either party wants to negotiate they want to make media spectacles for the 2014 elections.
Sure doesn't help when the president says I'll refuse to pass anything unless it's exactly what I want. Followed with "I will not compromise"(though this doesn't apparently apply to various terrorist groups he's now funneling money to. And it doesn't apparently count since he's just rescinded the child-soldier bill either.
Oddly enough there is middle ground, the only problem is the democrats aren't listening to the people. The republicans are, my bet that regardless of what happens come 2014 there will be a lot of democrats looking for work, especially since some 70 odd percent are now against the ACA.
Then I'm sure you're ready and waiting to die for "healthcare" up here too. The last time I had a serious injury where I broke my back, it was oh two hours or so before I got in for an x-ray. And 7 days for a CT. As a helpful point, even though my back was broken I was sent home, because there were no beds available.
Actually they're quite wide. Go and read the healthcare act then look at the provinces. In fact those "warning shots" have been at Quebec most of the time, because they simply dump the money direct into general revenue, then take it back out. In order to claim that the money came directly from their own general fund. Aka useless BS Quebec type stuff.
And to highlight difference, in Ontario I pay nothing. I don't pay for any tests or diagnostics out of pocket. I pay for notes from my doctor, and that's it. And if I end up in another province, I still won't be billed--because OHIP will cover it.
So said, funding = telling provinces how to do it. Gotcha, can you tell me when the last time the federal government dictated where to build a hospital in Ontario, Alberta, or even Quebec? Right. How about the number of doctors that need to be hired in each specific province. Right. And let me know when you get around to reading the federal healthcare act again, which should take you all of about 8 minutes. I'll see you sometime next year when you're done reading the ACA.
The healthcare act sets out "how" the system should be. And what min. level of care should be. Provinces decide "how" to do it. In the US, the ACA determines "how" states should do it, and even "how" to implement it. See the difference now?
One can only hope it'll be axed. Even up in socialist canada, the federal government is fully hands-off with healthcare(except in the cases of territories, natives, and the military).
I'm pretty sure possession of pirated content is illegal too.
I guess it depends on where you live, in my country it's a civil offence. Not illegal though. Then again I've long since come to the conclusion that Cicero was right on the subject of "laws being made, to simply criminalize the population" to paraphrase. What's funny, is that people think this is new...except when it's not.
I do know some were having some issues with post 314.x drivers, but I didn't run into any.
Some? Anything post 290.x have been complete crap on 400-600 series cards. At best, they might be stable, at worst you're going to see amazing hardlocks which require a complete powerdown to fix. The last time I looked on the nvidia forums with that issue, there was a thread on this with nearly 140k views. Funny enough it was the bad drivers that broke me, and I dumped my 560ti for a 7950 I have no complaints of doing so.
Considering that Europe really hasn't had any austerity to speak of that's rather moot isn't it? And that 7.5% number your branding around with unemployment doesn't count that people who've just given up, stopped looking, or anything else. The actual unemployment rate in the US is much closer to 13% today. And depending on the country in Europe it can be as high as 18%. Never mind that the federal reserve pumping billions of dollars into the markets is simply delaying the massive correction that's coming down the pipe.
I'm sure you can explain the moderation history that exists in my own posts then. After all, they run contrary to the groupthink here on/. and in turn will get modded into oblivion from +5...a few days later.
That's the problem. Simply because it's unpopular doesn't mean it's wrong as you pointed out, but that fosters group think and/. has no shortage of people who believe that anything contrary to their very *special* world view is unworthy of being modded up. And of course then there are the mod trolls, or people who mod down someone they simply don't like because they can.
Who was they? When in the late 80's. Where was this published? What does "2000 or so" mean?
Well, everyone's favorite AGW guy, David Suzuki did so. I do remember a few things from back then, of course there are others as well but I'd have to actually find the papers from gradeschool they gave us.
You might want to ask yourself why there are more clashes between polar and brown bears... Maybe something along the lines of them losing their habitat and having to spread... No, that can't be it.
Couldn't be anything to do with the number of polar bears has increased by nearly 2000% in the last decade, nope none of that. And that even the Inuit are seeing increased numbers as well. Here's a hint: The scientists are wrong, especially when correlated with people on the ground. More so when you realize that elk, moose, and seal populations have exploded in the last 20 years.
Next you'll be trotting out the picture of a polar bear floating on a block of ice, and claiming that the arctic is melting.
And if police officers were investigating police officers for a crime that had been committed without a civilian SIU, people would be crying corruption.
Yeah...you might just want to stop trotting out the "threatened status with ice" bit. There's no shortage of the bloody things, if anything there are more every passing year and their range of liveable area keeps expanding. In fact, there have been more than a few clashes between brown and polar bears in the last few years. As a fun point, we have them here in Ontario, and not all that far outside of the "southern half" of the province. And they range south, even in the summer here. There have been warnings posted as far south as Kesagami Provincial Park.

And no one is dying for lack of treatment in Canada.
Right, they're usually dying in the ambulance as they're shuffled around from hospital to hospital since the ER's are closed.

Yeah, that's right, kiddo. Being able to see a doctor is important to people with fully developed frontal lobes.
Good luck finding a doctor in the US when the ACA kicks in, we've had a rash of applications from US doctors wanting to move to Canada.
Don't forget the obvious: RIDING in the car, but not driving it, is apparently fine for the ovaries.
Only applies if they're in the backseat. If they're up front, that's where all the riding around damage occurs.

We have that option in Canada too, but at least you're usually in an ambulance.

It was probably deliberate, welcome to the new host of /. mod trolls.
No, because civil offences even though a violation of law are not illegal. Legal actions can be taken, even when an infraction has occurred.
I'm pretty sure possession of pirated content is illegal too.
I guess it depends on where you live, in my country it's a civil offence. Not illegal though.

That would be nice, as opposed to the drivel you linked to.
Gee, maybe the LA times would be more up your alley.
Damn that factual information...I guess DM did get it right huh?
