http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-electoral-reform-mandate-1.3961736 Well he's proven being a politician's in his blood. A day without a broken promise must have been a day off. Here's my suggestion: Add questions to the end of the ballot in the next election. 'Do you expect the...

You perhaps didn't notice on Tuesday, that the latest Ministerial patsy Justin stuck with the Electoral Reform file <Sarcasm Font>was trying to get your attention</Sarcasm Font>. Without Twitter. The report of the survey of Canadian Voters on Electoral Reform has been released. Her big...

Like the 'blowjobs' tag on the 'Reviews of B-Chain' thread in Toronto Massage, or the 'avoid' tag on the post about Violetta in Toronto Incalls. Who does the tagging? What ensures it's accurate or appropriate? Is it for us users? How do we use it? Can we tag to help us navigate better? They...

If you're trying to get onto TERB and seeing a Cloudflare page instead, or seeing it when you try to use your browser's Back button, here's spankey's thread where others have posted info and issues—>

Apparently the TERB Gods—or more likely their software—have determined another thing you won't get is to see the '…l.i.v.e.r.y' part of the word 'de.l.i.v.e.r.y'. Something distasteful about horse and buggy rentals I guess. Please add any more censorship-magnets you're aware of, I know MPA²...

Above the title-bar graphics for https://terb.cc is a line of code that only appears on the Forum page (which the URL calls …/index.php). It`s been there for quite some time, and it seems today`s the day that everything I have to do is less attractive than to ask if anyone else sees it (Firefox...

According to this article The City's gonna have to pay the inflated costs of city-collected garbage East of Yonge, until after Rob wins a second term two years from now. Given that the obvious cost-cutting remedy (privatization) for West of Yonge was passed with a comfy margin, it seems needless...

I currently get my TV from an antenna; we haven't had a Rogers hook-up since we bought the house and had the cable removed. But I'm fed up with the erratic internet throughput of my Bell landline and I'm considering TekSavvy or another 3d party reseller. My understanding is the physical wire...

Not a decision by anyone who pretends to any special national insight or responsibility, just a self-appointed cabal of broadcasters, meeting in secret, with no rules or mandate but their own. Acceptable considering it's their air-time and facilities, but it's as stupid as it is unfair, and it...

So here's the lawyer for the Federal Conservatives—who are suing Elections Canada to get $800,000 in taxmoney for the 2006 election (that'd be the one Harpo promised would come in 2009 because of his 'law') costs. They want our money, even though they have lots of their own in the bank, because...

Thanks to the fixed election date law our PM passed back in 2006, today is Canada's first-ever election date fixed in advance to "stop leaders from trying to manipulate the calendar" for partisan advantage. "Fixed election dates…level the playing field for all parties". You will note a fixed...

After vilifying Dion in the most vicious way for allying his party with separitists and socailists, Harpo's clown act is now so eager and happy that the exact same villains are supporting him that he refused a Liberal motion to get right down to it and immediately pass the EI stuff that's the...

Remember how Harper used to fume about Liberals using taxpayers' dollars to run feel-good ads about 'their' government programs? Gosh, wasn't that immoral! So now we're flooded with syrupy stuff about how shiny and wonderful is Canada's Action Plan, which is still just a Conservative Party...

Here's an almost ten-minute clip of Harper among friends, telling them all the stuff he's never yet put into an election speech or a commercial. But we're supposed to believe he can be trusted to do what he says. Fair enough, but what he says to whom? The tape was made by someone at the...

Hard to make the question simpler. We hear it all the time: "My taxes are too high", "California's taxes are too high", "Yeah, but Swedish taxes are way too high". We could end any discussion by saying all taxes are too high, just by definition, but that would make a mockery of all those who...

It's been suggested that Dalton and Harpo's new Blended Provincial and General Sales Tax of 13% might be less objectionable if price tags and ads showed the price w/ tax included: What you'll actually get dinged for at the cash. Tags and sales receipts would also show the tax amount separated...

It's the Second Amendment thing of course: I'm curious which are the militias providing that said state security, and how arms-bearing by private citizens who are not members relates to it/them. I know that second clause is the nub of the two hundred year and more argument, but it's also all...

As a companion to the poll regarding government covering the pension obligations of a bankrupt GM—which McGuinty has said he can't do—I thought we should compare opinions on us taxpayers covering warranties—which Clement has said he will do—existing and on yet-to-be-sold cars. I can't see any...

When it was suggested a handful of niqab-wearing women might vote in Québec there were a bunch of the usual suspects on this forum who were oh so vehement in defence of 'our' Canadian ways. Maybe it's too early in the day for them to have noticed this further outrage against our Canadian way of...

Classic etiquette books always said discussions of politics and religion should be avoided. Pointless and temper provoking. Even more annoying are posts with titles like "Election 2004" as if there was only one in the world—lotsa elections in the EU this year (and I don't mean Etats-Unis). For...
