    Conservatives would cut GST: Harper

    Last Updated Thu, 01 Dec 2005 09:15:09 EST

    CBC News

    Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has promised to cut the GST if his party wins the federal election.

    At a campaign stop in the Toronto area, Harper announced his intention to reduce the goods and services tax by one percentage point immediately, then by another point within five years.

    Conservative Leader Stephen Harper in Mississauga, Ont., Thursday morning.

    That would mean reducing the tax to six per cent in 2006, and then to five per cent.

    The Tories have long been contemplating a cut in the sales tax as a campaign plank.

    Liberal promises already include billions of dollars in tax cuts.

    More to come.

  3. I've had the same front tooth broken 7 times. I've had my wisdom teeth out. I've had a root canal. But nothing compares to an absessed tooth. The pain is unbelievable. My face was swelled up until the denist drilled a hole in the back of my tooth up to the root and pushed on my face. Then all the blood and pus came shooting out. Talk about instant relief.

    didn't you quit this board? Arse :wink:

    Schwampy holds the record for the fastest come-back after quitting!! YAYA SCHWAMPY - I knew you could do it!

    Hux quit and came back very quickly as well. Let's call it a tie.

  5. Some food for thought (although on a bigger scale).

    If Rupert Murdoch (News Corporation), which owns the following companies, decides that he personally doesn't want the public to know something or that he doesn't agree with something and removes it from being published in his papers or TV news, is that acceptable? Should anybody question this because he owns it?

    I'm asking because i'm curious and this is not directed at anyone in particular.

    No more shooting up in public, Vancouver police tell junkies

    Last Updated Tue, 29 Nov 2005 12:41:43 EST

    CBC News

    Police in Vancouver say they plan to start arresting drug addicts who shoot up in public, an uncontroversial idea in some cities but not in Vancouver.

    The police say they want to get drug use out of the streets and doorways of the Downtown Eastside and into the city's supervised injection site.

    Supervised injection site

    Some addicts and people who work with them call it a dangerous move.

    Dr. Anita Palepu, who treats people for illnesses associated with needle drugs, says the culture of open drug use is deeply ingrained in Vancouver's addicts.

    She says police are mistaken if they expect to change it just two years after the opening of the injection site, the first of its kind in North America.

    She says addicts going through withdrawal can't wait in lineups at the site and she fears the crackdown will prevent them from being treated for communicable diseases.

    "I worry, if the police are out there busting people for using drugs openly, people will just get displaced and go to other neighbourhoods where there's actually very little facilities for them."

    Police acknowledge that they don't expect that charging addicts will actually result in any jail time. But they say they can't continue turning a blind eye to drug use that's so open on the city's streets.

    Inspector Bob Rolls says the aim is to steer addicts to the injection site.

    Shooting up "stretched out on the steps"

    There are thousands of users in the Downtown Eastside, but other people still have to work and live in the neighbourhood, he says.

    He recalls one complaint from a volunteer at a community centre:

    "The woman was stretched out on the steps and she was shooting a needle into her neck. When the volunteer complained, she lashed out at her – how dare she interfere with her when she just managed to get this needle in the right position to inject?"

    No room at supervised site: addict

    Diane Tobin, 54, who shoots up at the injection site three times a day, says the site is already at capacity and it's time to talk about opening another. And because rules state that addicts have to inject themselves, it means people who need help shooting up are out on the street where they face arrest.

    "If that cubbyhole is your home and you're sleeping there and all your stuff is there and that's where you're using," she says, "they're actually coming into your home and arresting you for possession of a needle."

    Tobin, who served a drug sentence decades ago, says the police plan "is like going back 20, 25 years. It's ridiculous."

  7. If it's a truly silly word, please provide a definition.

    Thanks!

    Functus?

    God

    1. an imaginary character probably created by the ancients, just like zeus, poisedon, odin, ra, set, & many others, to help leaders of governments exceed more & more by using fear & charisma

    2. something many christians try to connect with other religions by saying that there is no difference between the words god, allah, krishna, etc., & try to unite other religions in order to help theism look less debunkable, but when a religious psycho destroys buildings in the name of the same god the christians no longer care to unite the word allah with their god in order to save it from a mess that it is really part of.

    3. the most successful, being that has scared a lot of people into giving up their money & freedom without having to tell anyone, threaten anyone physically, & doing it w/out even existing at all! (i guess it really is all-powerful when it can do everything, even not existing!)
