Is Cam Marshall hurt? I don't get it.

Fine by me. But when you do one of your petty little Anti-Harper rants, and you put in lies about health care cuts, be prepared to be called on it.

can we trade Brohm and a pick to Sask for Smith before Sunday?

and here we have yet another example of the bias of the CBC... http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/document-raises-questions-about-harper-retirement-policies-1.3198157 Just a total smear/hack job by the nutty leftists at the CBC. Kind of like saying that Harper has cut $36 billion from Health budgets, when in fact health budgets have been raised. in response:

if he's actually healthy, bring him in.

It's official, Wild is cut. Pittsburgh Steelers G Miles Dieffenbach WR Kenzel Doe WR C.J. Goodwin RB Braylon Heard DE Joe Kruger DT Joe Okafor OL Colin Rahrig CB Jordan Sullen OT Kevin Whimpey S Ian Wild http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/8/30/9225131/2015-nfl-roster-cuts-tracker-75-man-deadline

I wish this guy would run...

I think if Trudeau just said the following, he'd have people coming to him enmasse: "Look the federal government needs $15 billion more per year in revenue. We had that when the GST was 7%. I can't say I will balance the budget (and whoever does promise you that is lying) but I will say that going back to 7% GST would be a huge win for everyone. Let's go back to where we were, and enough of this nonsense". Boom. Done.

Then apologize As if. I never posted any link to that group. Of course you won't apologize. The NDP never does. And this is why you guys lose election after election, your arrogance nails you every single time.

It's a change to the formula, not a "cut". It's semantic wordplay designed to sway the uninformed voter, which is standard NDP modus operandi.

Yup, I was hyping Marve, I admit it, and all I've seen so far is Justin Goltz 2.0. Argh.

well all right. That's actually given me something to think about. Thank you for that.

Then apologize for posting that Harper has cut $36 billion from health care spending in Canada, as it is a total lie, and you posted it. It's really simple. NOT TRUE!

This is the only part of your entire post that made much sense. You claim to know a lot about this area, and yet whenever you talk about it, you sound like a Marine biologist who doesn't understand why fish can breathe under-water. You can continue to insult me all you want, I don't care, but honestly, there are good reasons why stock options are taxed at 50%, even if you can't understand why that is. Instead of telling other people to visit the real world, perhaps you could re-visit the tax side of your apparent training, as right now you get an "F". As for constantly bleating about Harper and his deficits, I agree, he shouldn't have been running deficits in the past few years, and I think you would agree that at least part of that reason was the cut in the GST. I think that the Conservatives have made some bonehead decisions, for sure. However, look at who else ran in 2011. One guy lied about the fact that he was dying (Layton should have made full disclosure on that, and it was dishonest but typical NDP to deceive the voters) and the other guy was just visiting. But that's all past history. The big question is, and yet I still am not getting much of an answer, are the other two guys any better? At least Trudeau was honest, while Mulcair chose to lie, on the question of deficits. I think that the next few weeks, the NDP are heading back to oblivion where they belong, and Trudeau only gets stronger. As it should be. Post something that shows stock options are a common form of renumeration for Canadians. You cant. Because they arent. good grief, this is like talking to a piece of wood. Ok then, how about this? Why are stock options currently taxed at only 50%? Were the people that decided on this course of action just plain stupid? Is the NDP and people like you just so much smarter than everyone else? There must have been some logic to it. All I see from the NDP and you is bitterness towards others who receive this deduction, and some fixation with almond milk. If it's so dumb and only this small little band of evil rich people get the deduction, then why didn't the Liberals get rid of it back in Paul Martin's time? Just curious if you can figure it out, though I'm not holding my breath.

The group responsible for the lie that Mr. Dee has been parroting on here about "Health Care cuts" is now in trouble with Elections Canada. Go figure. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/lawn-signs-first-registration-second-for-health-care-advocacy-group-1.3208074

Ummm it was applied correctly, and ummm it showed how hypocritical you were to go after me just because I have the audacity to not like the NDP very much, when it's obvious the Dippers here are just as close-minded, and even more so, to the point of posting blatant lies to try and shore up their horrible party's position.

Actually, they are not supported by fact, and they are fabrications. We just exposed one of your many fabrications not too long ago in fact, in which you posted that Harper has cut $36 billion from health care. That's just pure unadulterated bullshit. And that's one of the main reasons I have a huge "bias" towards the NDP, they just lie, cheat and steal, constantly. I could go into an anecdote or two about the horror stories I head this weekend about the Manitoba NDP and the unbelievable mismanagement they are committing right now, according to people who are currently working inside the government, and I could talk about how a lot of NDP stooges are flocking to Alberta as the Alberta NDP ramps up hiring to vastly increase their government bureaucracy to become as bloated as Manitoba, but I know my story is going to somehow end up being re-spun about almond milk for some reason. I don't care if you don't want to vote for Harper, just don't for the horrible money-wasting economy-destroying NDP. They are a disease.

You can't be serious... Geez man, it seems sometimes, not always, that anytime a person posts something that runs counter to what you believe, you respond with these type statements. The hypocrisy is dripping here. I think some of us take more of an eclectic approach to politics and sensitive issues by not branding our ideologies as left, center or right. We take it issue by issue using the best facts available to form our perspectives. We sometimes don't get it right but always try to take an evidence-informed approach, identifying any bias's we may have a long the way. We can't brand ourselves with only one political strip but we can always aspire to be a sound critical thinker hopefully adding value to the discussion.

Yawn. Another wasted effort. Stick to what you know. I also suggest that you go out in the real world a bit more. Stating that stock options are just given out to executives just shows an ignorance that the NDP likes to exploit to create unfair tax policy.

I think that deficit spending in a recession isn't the best idea. I can see why it happens though, and the economic benefits of doing so. I think that the issue is much simpler though. Add back the two points that were shaved off the GST, and boom, deficit is erased. End of story. I am not sure why you wasted your time typing the rest. Why focus on me at all? Focus on the actual question. Bashing me is just stupid. Otherwise, thanks for making the effort, well worth the read.

Boy does Montreal have Hamilton's number.

Turns out Glen Johnson and I have more in common than I thought.

It sounds like you've spent too much time being lectured to by unions and leftist teachers/professors, who haven't actually ever been in the real world, or have a vested interest in lying to you to make you think that all corporations and management are evil and greedy. "Most places just give them to executives". No, that's just plain not true. At all. Have you ever worked for a public company? I spent 15 years in high tech, and every high tech company I worked for, public and private, made sure that all employees, from the secretary to the top, received a chance to share in the big prize if the stock price went up, via stock options. I know that the NDP like to peddle the fallacy that only "fat-cat" CEO's get stock options, but this is just plain a giant load of bullshit. Almost as big as saying that the Conservatives have cut $36 billion from health care spending. And stock options are taxed as income, but only 50% of the gain is taxable. There are valid reasons for this, but of course, if you believe the NDP garbage that "only the rich benefit" from stock options, it makes it an easier sell to the jealous and naive that they should be taxed at 100%. This is unnecessarily punishing hundreds of thousands of people, for no reason. This is one of the many reasons why I think the NDP is a giant smoking pile of hot garbage. All they do is lie. Constantly.
