  1. voted.

    disappointed to see the conservative win by 20,000 votes in my riding.

    guns and deisel fuel seem to be the main concerns in my neighbourhood.

    In your riding even if you added the Liberal, NDP & Green votes together it would not have beat the Conservative.

  2. I actually said someone like Bob Rae, didn't say Rae specifically. The liberals need someone who can energize, Dion was not that person obviously.

    Yes our system sucks and until we have some sort of proportional representation things probably wont change.

  3. I think to blame the Conservative Minority on the Greens is a bit much as well. But then this is politics and we will not be able to come to an agreement on this.

    Perhaps had the liberals had someone like Bob Rae leading the ticket they would have had a better showing and we wouldn't be blaming the Greens for stealing the election away like people blamed Nader in the USA.

  4. greens infuriate me..

    Why would May even try and run in that seat?

    That was a stupid move on her part. Green's infuriate you but that doesn't mean they infuriate everybody. Perhaps some people believe they want something different. At least the Green's are a true national party that runs candidates in every riding. Perhaps some are tired of what is our basically 2 party system. Really the only true way this country can work is based on some sort of representational government.

    In our riding the Green Candidate came in a solid second with 27% of the vote. That may piss you off but I think its great that there are that many people in our area who are looking for something different.

    Politics is fun isn't it.

  5. didn't we just have a referendum for such a voting system....

    Vote your riding, then vote for the party?

    Yes we did vote for a more representative government during the last election, it was a referendum vote that did not make it through. Too bad IMHO.

  6. There's a sale at Dell everyday. They are pretty sneaky there, you can often build the same computer for slightly cheaper than their so called advertised sale price. Take your time on the Dell site and check out all the different side bars, also look in their Small Business side of the site as there are often different deals there as well. Just don't jump in to purchase right away you can probly save some pennies somewhere.

  7. The only thing I am going to say about buying a Mac laptop over a Windows based laptop is that you do not need to worry about running Spyware / Anti Virus software on it. I have been running Macs at home since 2001 and have never had to worry about virus / spyware. In fact we just gave my inlaw our old G4 iMac as it was still a perfectly functioning Internet light duty machine 7 years later. Yes you pay more up front but I think it pays off in the long run.

  8. Honestly, Acer is the best value out there.

    fwiw, we've had 4 acers go belly up at work over the last couple years

    hey Ollie why do you hate Apple products so much

  9. Define country music. I think its umbrella has expanded quite a bit in recent years to include alt-country acts.

    Don't really know how to define it. I guess I'm just assuming its the country for the masses that goes hand in hand w. Nascar and everything else that seems so American Republican to me.

    I do own a Dixie Chicks album mind you does that mean I like Country & Western.

  10. very similar to Timouse

    - am the parent of 2 soon to be 3 Ethiopian Children

    - am no longer spending hundreds of dollars a month in bars

    could actually go on and on

  11. Ibuprofen and naproxen are somewhat interreactive (DO NOT MIX) Tylenol and Advil, and Asprin for that matter, are pain killers that block your internal reception of pain, they work beeter to quell hurting breaks and pulls.

    But but but, Advil is Ibuprofen!!!

    Advil Information

    I find that only Ibuprofen works on my headaches but does eff all for anything else.
