[Canadian Outrage]

Here we go again. Ralph Klein did indeed make that huge gaffe. I'll still take him tho over what runs the Country now and has for the last couple decades. And yes, I know they are some nice people in Quebec. We know a few. When I refer to Quebec negatively, I am referring to the Province as a whole and NOT every single individual.!! I also speak with some Great Conservatives in Ontario. The problem is, and it is undeniable, they are few in number. Just watch, even with the "Conservative" amalgamation, the Liberals will trounce the next election. Even tho Martin, as Finance Minister and Chretien right hand man for 9 years, taxed the living Shit out of all of us, he registered his families shipping lines out of a Country with NO employment standards at all and also to EVADE paying Canadian taxes. Those same taxes he has burdened every Canadian with. I can't figure out WHY the average Ontario voter cannot see that.

Wow, That's news to me. If you don't have a link handy I'll go search for one.

No we don't . Klein is a good guy but he waffles on issues with Ottawa just like every other Premier. And most of us would be glad to take him , take any good person , over what we have in Ottawa . But we won't have a decent chance at that until at least 2008 , unless the Martin Gaggle collectively fall on their swords

Hawaii has a greater chance , and may well do so, of leaving the US than any province leaving Canada. That's reality . Guaranteed by Bay Street and Wall Street . And if you knew the figures and if you took the time to learn about how those numbers combine to win and loose elections , then you' d know better than to refer to Ontario , who once again along with Alberta , are paying to support the rest of the country , the way you do.

I'm well aware of Martin's manipulations while Finance Minister . His purchase of CSL in 1980 , borrowing $180 million to do so, at a time when interest rates of 20%+ were breaking thousands of businesses and individuals in Canada , should alone be an indication of where the is guy comes from .

And as for taxes in Canada , do some research . You don't have it as bad as you think you do.
