No, they'll continue to protect them. Cancon, and other various facets of her 'office' ensure that will continue long after she's been removed from the 'heritige' minister position.
This can be seen in a standing with other government protected businesses up here, it makes me wonder how much the Liberal party is getting for a kick-back, with the corruption bit going on now...it's not that much of a strech to see them taking bribes.
It's pretty much business as usual for the Liberals in Ottawa. Either throw money at it, pretend it doesn't exist, or rewrite the laws to suit your agenda and claim your protecting 'sovereignty'.
Bah sorry for the late reply. I do get busy at times.
Should and would are subject to the whims of the government, but when government has an agenda at the time and 'pushes' people in to ensure that their votes and results are the ones that get done then we have a flaw in the system.
You say the last time it happened was with the GST? Just take a look at recent legislation, not to count the muddling between the 3 branches. It's a grey smudge, that doesn't do the right things for the country well unless you enjoy a Socialist system ofcourse. CRTC-Cancon amendment, reform bills on satellites, etc, these are all recent things that were pushed through.
Yes quite, that we vote for the party and not for the person...once more. Concentraion of powers, lead to abuse. This is a standard constant in systems like this, the more top heavy and organization is...the less it cares about the people beneath it. Look at Ireland and the rest of Europe if you want to see where Canada will be going.
Uh..your going off track...nor paying attention about the popular vote.
These large scandals are the ones we know about, with family that has been in politics at one level or another for the last 60 years or so in this country so much as gone on under the radar of the peasent folk here, that your eyes would pop. You can read most of it from the national archives as long as it's not sealed. In which case you need to be a member of parliment to read it. Riders on the other hand, are what reps do, looking after their constituants, up here they just look at them like they are good for two things, getting them elected and getting them re-elected.
General politics up here lost touch with the people in about 1967, but it's never been 'close' were too modeled after the UK system.
No, I don't see that as being rude; I see that as being a curry to debate. Which in light of most things up here...is something.
If you want to boil it down to the base elements, the US is limited power by design. The Canadian system is concentrated power by dictation.
Too correct that we do not vote for are PM nor does the US, but to their credit neither do they use a popular vote. This ofcourse stops concentrations in the population(cities and major metro centers from deciding who would be the president).
It could be argued that the Senate would provide a balance if the Senate was not also appointed. That is the fatal flaw...appoint, appoint, appoint. Appoint some more, then appoint your friends, and appoint their friends, you only have to look at exactly what the Liberals have been doing if you want to see. But it goes back much farther then that. Old, old, old, stuff...the liberals got greedy and now it's out in the public light.
Just out of curriosity, for the "bribes and currying of favor's" bit have you been watching what has been going on in Ottawa the last bit with the sponsorship messup? Do you see exactly where the money went and to what compaines? Exactly to what ties these compaines had. Do you see exactly where our last Prime Ministers have come from?
On the otherhand, for party disipline and party politics, it kind of works like this. The 'party' leader says...vote the way I tell you or unpleasent things will happen to your political career. See Sheila Copps...heh...although that's just a small bit, censure and private reprimanding is much more common, along with stripping of 'party privilages'. Ahh nothing like the whips...ofcourse then you have the masters.
Perhaps the oddest thing you'll find is...the vast majority of snowbirds don't care for Canadian dishes. The vast majority are a rather independant lot who likes their freedom of choice, and doesn't like what the government tells them what they can and can not watch. The other 'odd' thing is, you can get Canadian dishes in the US with no problem.
Woops. There goes that freedom of the press and lack of subscriber problem right out the window.
Only an AC could hope for as much. Well I'm going to enjoy replying to this troll. See in Canada the government says that 'guns are bad' and won't let us have them...unless we jump through hoops made of red tape. So maybe I can go slip on a stick and 'skewer' myself.
Ofcourse, maybe I can just ask a criminal to shoot me instead...since the criminals seem not to have any problems getting ahold of guns.
True they *can't* stop you from picking up broadcast siginals. What bothers me even more is that the Lieberals turned around and stacked the Supreme Court to ensure that they would get the rulings that they want on issues like this.
It's not so much "American-Style" political corruption, unfortunatly your not really looking far enough into the past. This is plutocratic style of governing, not short of the old monarchy based systems. We've had a 'hand off' of our PMO's office, no election called. As well as other things, the entire politcal system in the country needs to be reformed because of the concentration of powers at the PMO's office. This is exploitation of the power that has always existed, it is only more visable now because the people demand more accountability but if you are involved in politics at any type of level you can see it.
Ala the C2 amendment that they are trying to push through. That would be the communications act for those unwilling to look it up. Not directed at you, but you can bet that someone will jump up and down and scream 'where and what' or some other junk. That doesn't mean that they *can't* make it illegal, the removal of freedoms(see the charter) from society has to be taken in incremental steps otherwise the masses tend to turn around and get upset. On the other hand, the vast majority up here will simply scream that this is a 'good idea' to protect us from 'American' imperialism or some such crap.
As for encryption, it can be exported out of the US. Canada and the US only, valid citizens only, providing various circumstances, blah blah blah.
But I've never voted Lieberal no worries, Alliance member or rather CPC member now.
But I'll take a full clip and some privacy any day, preferably an American citizenship as well. I know that last bit is going to ruffle some feathers.
Yeah we just shove Canadian programing down your throat and block out the majority of the American stuff. No wonder 'anything goes'. All hail CanCon, and it's glorious freedom-blocking regime!
Oh and you did hear about the C2 amendment right? You know the one that will put you in jail for owning a C/KU/American satellite dish, as well as a hefty fine. Where the hell do I live? Iran?
Allow me to say as an ex-builder of US military control panels, and a heavy user of MIL-C-47113 HS compound, your as good to buy DuPont DS-3 HS compound. The tubes are half the price and you can buy them everywhere.
AS3 or AS5 have better thermal conductivity then either product, Both the 47113 and DS-3 are silicone grease with zinc. Zinc is a basic thermal transfer agent used in the *cheapest* thermal compounds. While both work good, they are designed to be in all-weather conditions and enviroments where contamination with enviromental factors is expected. Your computer getting soaked is NOT that enviroment.
I now atleast, don't feel quite so old. Do you also happen to remember timing crystals that were required on the older motherboards as well?
I think I've still got my old 386 DX40 somewhere, with it's 40mhz timing crystal that you replaced when you wanted to go upto a 486, yup it was a very nice and expensive board, had a positional CPU slot for 386 and 486's a slot for a math co-processor incase you got a SX chip instead. Different crystals ofcourse for different speeds of the chips. All I can say is I'm glad that we got away from that.
Too bad the 386 did everything I needed right up until I build my first P120. I'll never get a chance to swap out the crystal or chip now.
A small step anyway. The point is they shouldn't have to play it, I'm not sure if you know anyone who's gone in for journalism or broadcast journalism but they teach you to 'save the world' and 'better humanity' other useless crud. Push a PoV, nothing else, don't tell an unbiased story and let people make up a mind, spin a story, and push your agenda. Bad way to do things.
This is exactly what the reporters there have done in all releases of media.
What was that? Proving the media bias all on your own? Congratulations. These people(reporters) are out to save the world when it pushes 'their' agenda. When someone else goes out and does something positive, it must be pushed down and into the ground.
The Child's Play bit while good, shows exactly the types of people that are reporting the news to the average person. And if those people here are not actually questioning the news sources as a whole yet, they bloody well should. Tyco and Gabe shouldn't have to play it, 80% of reporters say that they are 'liberal' and as that stands going by the standard 'bleeding hearts' that they are; they should have been trumpeting this story as the greatest story in humanity for the hospital. But in truth what does this exactly tell you about them?
I wouldn't be surprised to see this moderated down as a troll, but question the people doing the reporting and their supposed humanities.
Having been a union grunt myself, and having been one for awhile. These jobs do exist here, the problem is not the unions so much as compaines looking for the most and best way to make as much profit as they can. If a company can make as much profit as they can they *will* run to wherever the labor is cheaper, and are not restricted by enviromental and control laws. Look at NAFTA and see exactly what happened, shops were unionized and things were good and fine. NAFTA came into effect compaines saw the chance to make greater profits and took it. Moved plants to Mexico, now you move 10 years down the road and what do you have?
Hello Clinton-Chinese-expansion & labor exploitation, the auto industry operating in China, now the Mexicans complaining that they can't compete with 'cheap' chinese labor as well with enviromental/labor/and control laws. So the process repeats itself.
Apparently you can't figure much out then can you? Unfortunatly, by your post you either don't understand what happens in the legal system here or you don't live here or have never experienced the system here first hand. So that leaves you in a poor state to be any type of authority let alone one to be claiming a supporter of arbitration on an issue.
As for your assumption, it only causes you ruin in the end. I'd suggest digging your head out of your ass and re-reading my post.
By all means, try telling that to the people who have suffered directly under contracts, disputes and arbitration of the government. Especially with a government that breaks contracts because it doesn't want to live upto them. Welcome to life in Canada.
If I could mod you up I would, but you have caught on to what other people do not or think is the lie. The government up here has gotten very good at ensuring that what is said is quarter truths and filler. Enough to ensure what they've said isn't a lie; or can be changed to fix their mistake.
Myself, this is one of many issues as to why I'm leaving the country. I simply can't stand it anymore, and even at that most of the people I went to school with are now living in other countries(mostly the US, but a good few in Japan) for similiar reasons not jobs while that figures in highly but freedom, and control. Don't forget about Lawful Access either, there's another peice of tripe.
And one other thing, remember we are now going to have 4 sets of laws up here. Quebec, Natives, Muslims and everyone else. Canada prepares to enforce Islamic law
I know alot of people are not fond of WND, but it was the only place I actually found a place reporting the story. So much for fair and equal justice under the law for everyone...
I don't even want to get started on CSIS or anti-terrorism legislation up here.
*Yawn* the draft boards never went away, and they've always been looking for people to fill the posts on them. Wake up and smell the coffee/pot/etc, it's your own problem if you can't pay attention to what's going on in your own back yard.
And yes, there is a real problem with people not paying attention to the issues going on in their own backyard, after all...much easier for say Canadians to blame Americans for all their woes, or radical-lefties scream about how 9/11 was all America's fault rather then radical fundamentalist Islam's and Saudi Arabia's.
We actually did have a city named Berlin. It was called Kitchner, and was founded by German immigrants long before WWI or WWII. When WWII rolled around, the city was renamed from Berlin to Kitchner due to the whole Nazi bit.
Paris is an existing town, you can find it on a map about 70km east of London. In both cases founded by immigrants.
Beh 8000+ probes from former soviet countries, and other known spam havens in the last month you tell me where this is going.
I am on a simple cable modem, but the rogers network has been having huge problems the last while(virus, trojans, headend issues, DNS issues, DHCP server issues, on and on). I wonder if they(spammers) pay attention to the fact that rogers has recently upped the speeds from 1.5mbps to 3mbps; were unsure if this is perm. yet or not. But it could be and that would be boon to the spammers wouldn't it?
I know there are spammers on the rogers network, and the fact that those of us who got screwed when we got dropped have been rather vocal on DSLR when the speed went back up. And we see our fair share of Spammers lurking in those forums as well.
FLQ Story 1, happened this weekPolice said they caught the men as they were trying to cut down a federalist symbol at the townhall with a chainsaw. Investigators said they later found several homemade pipe bombs in a suspect's car.
The graffiti included the words Canadians Go Home, Quebec Libre (A Free Quebec) and Fusion Montreal.
The letters FLQ, which stands for Front de liberation du Quebec, were also spray-painted onto the building. The separatist terrorist organization was responsible for the murder of provincial cabinet minister Pierre Laporte back in October 1970.
FLQ Story 2 same POV, different source.MONTREAL - Seven francophone men between the ages of 19 and 49 will appear in court Wednesday to answer to a host of charges related to the defacing the former Baie D'Urfe town hall with separatist slogans.
Some of the messages included "Une ile, une ville francaise", "Free Quebec" and "Go home Canadians." The vandals signed their worked "FLQ."
No but that's a good retort. That would be the reason I don't use ATI cards, and I haven't since 1992.
Back in the day would be the very late 70's that being the first case I remember hearing some disgrunteled IBM engineer crashing a cylinder drive after being fired, I could never find out if that one was truth or fiction, the others would be in the 80's; but I have seen first hand cases of and experimented on some of the older drives and monitors with the older virus that would either throw the monitors sync out and bake the tube(the electron gun) or smash the drive heads.
Even back then people were out doing this stuff ofcourse, next generation hardware came out that closed these problems, either by stoping the hardware from being thrown out of sync or by autoparking the head. But this stuff was trashed afterwords.
Already been done. "Back in the day", there were plenty of virus written that would throw your monitor out of sync, simply baking the tube.
Some others that whould smash the read/write heads of your HDD into the spindle destroying the drive, that's why it's controlled at the hardware level now. That was back when the heads actually required a seperate program to park them. That was alot of fun.
I'd say that Mandrake is responsable for the replacement of those drives.
As the subject says, depends on the node your on. I'm also on rogers, and before they slashed everyone back to 1.5Mbps I used to get at "best" 2710kbps, now the best I've pulled is 1305kbps this is on non-docsis, normally I'll pull around 800-1100kbps. I'm on a TCM200 actually, but they are starting to do a test run on the non-docsis modems bringing them back up the to the 3000kbps range, in short periods in different area's. The best I've seen since their "testing" has begun is 1900kbps.
I won't say rogers doesn't have it problems, it stinks to high hell it's only taken me 3 weeks to actually get a damn truck rolling and to get someon to come out and look at my connection...with any luck someone might be here in the next couple of days.
I really am starting to hate the phrase "It's getting more and more like the Wild, Wild West every time I hook up to the 'net anymore." See the wild, wild west was civil. Pretty much everyone had a gun, now if everyone had a gun and you could get shot for being an uncivil SOB you'd be nice and kind too wouldn't you?
I hereby propose that we either shoot spammers, or simply DDOS boxes that spammers use right off the net. If you can't go the legal route, then it's really time to turn it into the wild west; were already getting pot shot taken at us. It's time to take a few crack shots back.

No, they'll continue to protect them. Cancon, and other various facets of her 'office' ensure that will continue long after she's been removed from the 'heritige' minister position.
This can be seen in a standing with other government protected businesses up here, it makes me wonder how much the Liberal party is getting for a kick-back, with the corruption bit going on now...it's not that much of a strech to see them taking bribes.

Should and would are subject to the whims of the government, but when government has an agenda at the time and 'pushes' people in to ensure that their votes and results are the ones that get done then we have a flaw in the system.
You say the last time it happened was with the GST? Just take a look at recent legislation, not to count the muddling between the 3 branches. It's a grey smudge, that doesn't do the right things for the country well unless you enjoy a Socialist system ofcourse. CRTC-Cancon amendment, reform bills on satellites, etc, these are all recent things that were pushed through.
Yes quite, that we vote for the party and not for the person...once more. Concentraion of powers, lead to abuse. This is a standard constant in systems like this, the more top heavy and organization is...the less it cares about the people beneath it. Look at Ireland and the rest of Europe if you want to see where Canada will be going.
Uh..your going off track...nor paying attention about the popular vote.
These large scandals are the ones we know about, with family that has been in politics at one level or another for the last 60 years or so in this country so much as gone on under the radar of the peasent folk here, that your eyes would pop.

No but that's a good retort. That would be the reason I don't use ATI cards, and I haven't since 1992.
Back in the day would be the very late 70's that being the first case I remember hearing some disgrunteled IBM engineer crashing a cylinder drive after being fired, I could never find out if that one was truth or fiction, the others would be in the 80's; but I have seen first hand cases of and experimented on some of the older drives and monitors with the older virus that would either throw the monitors sync out and bake the tube(the electron gun) or smash the drive heads.
Even back then people were out doing this stuff ofcourse, next generation hardware came out that closed these problems, either by stoping the hardware from being thrown out of sync or by autoparking the head. But this stuff was trashed afterwords.
And no...I don't really care about my spelling.
Already been done. "Back in the day", there were plenty of virus written that would throw your monitor out of sync, simply baking the tube.
Some others that whould smash the read/write heads of your HDD into the spindle destroying the drive, that's why it's controlled at the hardware level now. That was back when the heads actually required a seperate program to park them. That was alot of fun.
I'd say that Mandrake is responsable for the replacement of those drives.
As the subject says, depends on the node your on. I'm also on rogers, and before they slashed everyone back to 1.5Mbps I used to get at "best" 2710kbps, now the best I've pulled is 1305kbps this is on non-docsis, normally I'll pull around 800-1100kbps. I'm on a TCM200 actually, but they are starting to do a test run on the non-docsis modems bringing them back up the to the 3000kbps range, in short periods in different area's. The best I've seen since their "testing" has begun is 1900kbps.
I won't say rogers doesn't have it problems, it stinks to high hell it's only taken me 3 weeks to actually get a damn truck rolling and to get someon to come out and look at my connection...with any luck someone might be here in the next couple of days.
I really am starting to hate the phrase "It's getting more and more like the Wild, Wild West every time I hook up to the 'net anymore." See the wild, wild west was civil. Pretty much everyone had a gun, now if everyone had a gun and you could get shot for being an uncivil SOB you'd be nice and kind too wouldn't you?
I hereby propose that we either shoot spammers, or simply DDOS boxes that spammers use right off the net. If you can't go the legal route, then it's really time to turn it into the wild west; were already getting pot shot taken at us. It's time to take a few crack shots back.
