Remember Cold War days when we sold wheat to China.
Wheat board and Alvin Hamilton in Diefenbaker government took part in arranging deal.
Do not know why China had to buy on credit but it was part of deal.
Likely did not endear us to US farmers who were struggling with surplus at time.
Resulted in prosperity for our prairie farmers who were more wheat market dependent those days.

I wonder how do countries claim the moon surface? I would assume in the future people will possibly live in some sort of colony there and would also assume may be certain resources there?
Diamonds gold? Something new possibly?
Will it be first to inhabit?

I wonder if they found a Nazi base and tanks of helium3. If you don’t get the joke look up iron sky.

Going to the moon , I say good for them.
national pride.
And the tech advancements ,
Hard to measure.
I find it all fascinating
As for national debt in the US
Remember Obama,
a had to bail out the 08 crash
Handed from bush.
Right or wrong both parties were for it.
Now Trump has added 2 trillion debt. in the last 2 years.in good times no less.
Not a lot different is it.
Healthcare , we pay 60% of what the US pays , so I think we have room to step up , and improve things.
Even a user fee, simply to dissuade those overusing the system
Would be fine.Last edited by sawfly1; Jan 3, 2019, 19:04.

Originally posted by jazz View PostFunded health care in Canada will eventually have to go to some hybrid model. Maybe the US is ahead of the game here. Our system will eventually need private money as in the form of user fees or something to keep it going. That's what the US should look at. Like charge $100 or something for a doc office visit which are very common. That would have the average family contributing to the system on an affordable level. Then use those funds to prop up the big expensive operations nobody can afford that you might need once or twice a decade or something.

Wally shouldn't have used up a couple billion on non revenue things like the stadium and the bypass...
What's the number in the last 2 years ...over 10 billion sucked out of saskatchewan and alberta for Quebec...
This should be the CBC headlines every day not whats happening in the White house ....
There is no way Notley should have gone along with Trudeau’s tax. Did she really think Trudeau would repay the favour?
