well im not gonna bash you, cause UNlike many others i recognize the ideals of the individual here...BUT!

i dunno if this is really a responsible statement on your part. maybe everything is becoming *americanized(i.e.USAized)* but that doesnt intend WORLD DOMINATION. someone made the simple, eloquent point earlier that IF we wanted to rule the world we coulda annexed most of Europe after WW2, which is absurd, but not impossible.

ill let your America bashing continue unrelented tho, cause i could bash on certain topics too, but REMEMBER--- of all the nations in the world, Canada is the most like the US outta ALL of em. Socialism and a small military dont change the fact that a lot of our values are increasingly similar.

that is all...peas|

well, that may be true, and i'm glad it didn't happen. however, here's a metaphor for what you just said. I just went to subway on my lunch break, and i saw a nice old lady sitting on the street, with her purse on the ground beside her. i could have taken if it wanted too, but i didn't.

however, i really don't think that is all that commendable, that's just normal.

countries aren't SUPPOSED to try and annex other smaller ones, so, it's really not that impressive that america didn't. especially when they are doing just that now, by more subversive means such as the WTO.

well.. i'm not america bashing at all. it's merely some of the policies i dislike.

and as for canada being just like you.. well, i hate that too, and fight it every and any way that i can. including posting on this forum that a 3cent raise is no reason to plead for annexation by the USA.

so, thanks for your arguments, i respect your position, and hope you respect mine.

I'll believe Canada is like America when I stop hearing that we all live in igloos, are lumberjacks etc. The main diffrence between the two contries is ignorance.

Yes you are damn straight i was ticked when i heard this, and i must agree with the previous post on how are taxes are spent, way to much waste. Now im not 100% on this but im pretty damn sure that in the last election did the Liberals not say they wanted to abolish the GST?
Now what 3 years later they wanna raise it? Sounds a lil fishy to me. We are definately over do for a new leader IMOP.

The oil industry is always booming here in calgary and out local economy is doing pretty good, but as far as canada is concerned we dont exist cuz we are west of ontario.

ditto!

our gst is 7%

FINALLY SOME INTELLIGENT COMMENTS NEAR THE END

FIRST- IF YOU WORK AT MACDONALDS OR LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS STILL THEN YOUR IN FOR A REAL SURPRISE SOMEDAY.

3 CENTS IN THEORY IS NOT ALOT, BUT IF YOU PAY 3 CENTS ON GAS, PHONE, ELECTRICY, INSURANCE, TV AND INTERNET BILLS- IT FUCKIN ADDS UP
WE ARE ALSO BEING TAXED A TON RIGHT NOW AS IT IS AND WHERE DOES THAT MONEY GO? NOT TO FUCKIN MEDICARE. OUR HOSPITALS ARE SHIT HOLES AND MEDICARE DOESNT PAY FOR SHIT. MY GF AND UNCLE BOTH HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR TESTS RIGHT AWAY, SURE THEY ARE COVERED BY MEDICARE IF YOU WAIT 10 MONTHS, BUT IF YOU DIE BEFORE, OH THAT SUCKS FOR YOU, THATS BULLSHIT, AND WHAT MEDICATIONS ARE COVERED BY MEDICARE? ONLY SENIORS IT SEEMS.

MONEY INTO THE SCHOOLS? WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR OTHER STUPID ASSES I DONT GO TO FUCKIN SCHOOL. HOW MANY PEOPLE GO TO COLLEGE GET A DEGREE THEN GET A JOB DOING SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT? SO I PAY FOR YEARS FOR THEM TO HAVE THE "EXPERIENCE" AND GET WRECKED EVRY WEEKEND. I COULD AFFORD TO GO TO AN AMERICAN COLLEGE IF I DIDNT GET TAXED SO MUCH IN THE FIRST PLACE

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WANT EVERYONE WHO HAS A REAL JOB AND PAYS REAL TAXES TO REMEMBER THAT YOU WORK FOR SOME FUCKIN BUM TO SIT ON HIS ASS AND COLLECT SOCIAL AID, ESPECIALLY IN QUEBEC. THESE FUCKIN PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUT FILLING POT HOLES, NOT WATCHING BIG SCREEN TVS AND LIVING IN A NICER PLACE THEN MOST OF US.

IF WE HAD THE LUXORY TO MOVE AS FREELY AS YOU DO IN EUROPE ID BE OUT IN A SECOND

AND IM STILL TYPING IN CAPS SO FUCK YOU

i intended moving out of the country pretty soon after I finish my degree... but now after hearing that they consider this kind of bullshit tax raise and that a programmer starts at 30K canadian, now I'm defintly sure of it... matter of time....

I mean they just lowered the revenue tax by not much because it was meant to lower the deficit, but now they want to take the same money from another tax... what about the huge surplus the govt is stacking every year...



oh and the thing about the US taking over the world... I can't remember which writer wrote it but it was saying something like that: " No need for wars or weapons anymore to conquer the world, all you have to do is control a country's economy..."

you know what i like??? how this entire thread was started with misinformation or a misunderstanding. canada is not raising the gst, the story is that they are thinking of POSSIBLY doing it in order to help balance the budget. but they havent done anything or made an announcement that they are defenatly doing it. (they being the government). get the facts straight before posting, im also suprised that im the first to notice... really....
