interesting perspective

[dave4441]

I have to agree with Stubble. Do we want a country with a domestic market that is 9 million people smaller? We are already a tiny country. wonder if we are not a little high on the energy soapbox here. What goes around comes around.

If that was directed at me, I thank you for such kind words.

[stubblejumper]

It is directed at all small minded people who dislike anyone because the are different than them. If this fits it was directed at you.

I didn't read anything on this thread where someone said they disliked someone which is, I guess, a definition of a redneck. All I read was legitimate arguments on why some areas of the country should clean up their act. Then Stubbie comes out with no arguement and just throws a rock.

Do you like what Charest, Mcguinty and Justine Tudeau have said about our Canada in the last few weeks?

We have hit a rough spot and they look to blame the west instead of building the country into what should become an economic powerhouse.

The major eastern companies like GM, Bombardier, Magna and all the shipbuilding rely on government support.

All the western expansion in Potash, oil and gas, fertilizer, crushing is coming from the market and people that invest.

Which side of the coin or country would you like to be on?

Bucket,

I for one believe that we need to get our own houses in order... and lead by example.

We MUST have viable markets for our products... or our western CDN economy is done like dinner yesterday.

NDP and Leberanos who complain about the 'High' CDN $... are just like the folks in China who continue the lockin to the US $... and watch Chinese currency reserves grow... as the US currency devalues and recks the US economy.

Canada should do the same?

NO.

Our lack of ability to raise and attract skilled labour...
(If you can call working at a fast food joint that)
is a result of Canadians being affluent... and richer than anyone else on this planet!

Nice position to be in...we are... but a goofy complaint to make...

Willing folks to flip a burger... should be commended for being here in Canada... (they can step up/learn and fill more important jobs to our economy) not be condemed and slighted for the colour of their skin or foreign accent!

Cheers!

McDonalds in Regina has hired many Foreigners.
Park Street location is where I stop every
morning.

I will drive a few miles out of my way to go to the
ones that do have East Indian kids at most of the
work positions. They are accurate, friendly, they
are super pleasant. Gotta say McDonalds is lucky
and so am I.
