Our tax structure is already competitive though, uwish. Unless you think we can compete with China and India that is, but I doubt you'll be happy working for ten bucks a day.

Alta_redneck Alta_redneck:
Hey tritium, which companies are going to step up to the plate and provide jobs when the big bad billionaires say the hell with this crap, we're not going to pay anymore taxes here, and move to Mexico.


Pre-NAFTA we had plenty of BIG companies doing business in Canada, paying better wages to their employee...

They want to move to Mexico, let them. But if they want to sell their products within Canada at a competitive rate, with no import tax or tariffs.. I am sure they will remain here.

Good point, Tritium. A market of 30+ million relatively educated, relatively wealthy people is something they want. If they don't want a piece of this market, then we can do without them. There are others who can supply what they're selling.

NAFTA has been good for Canada. Trade surpluses in every area NAFTA overlooked.

You have a market of 30 million or 260 million,hmmmm.
The auto sector could move to Mexico and do just fine.
The usa is the biggest consumers of our products,30 million is small taters.

Well hey, I'm not here to try and change your vote.

It's looks pretty clear that Obama will be elected as President, and your NAFTA will be on the table. :wink:

My vote for NDP is more of a protest vote, being I live in Alberta. We both know that an NDP rep. has a snow balls chance in hell of getting a seat around Calgary, AB.

Nevertheless, I am voting NDP.

Any Federal NDP vote ANYWHERE is a protest vote...as always.
So has a Bloc vote always been...as is now a Green vote...
so many protests...so devoid of hope.
Jack is now flushed with visions of a second place finish...
so he hopes to consolidate his 'gains' by drilling some holes
in his own boat...trying to attract 'swing' voters by bashing
business. All he can get are Green-leaning swing voters...no Liberal
leaners will buy an anti-business 'initiative'. He's already locked
up the CKA fiscally-challenged demographic, small as it is. :mrgreen:

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:
We want Jack! We want Jack! We want Jack! We want Jack! We want Jack!


Problem is, no matter who wins, we will get exactly that.

tritium tritium:
Jack Layton is Canada's Obama... looking out for the poor and middle class over corporate interest and greed.


No, Jack isn't...
Obama never moved in with his wife's parents.

Obama is a capitalist...Jack is a different "c" word altogether.

Obama has already committed to more troops in Afghanistan,
Jack would have the Taliban over for tea ( No cleavage, please, Olivia !)

Obama and the Democrats are economically right, and socially centre-right,
but Jack is economically left (to a brain-dead level), and socially far left.

Oh yes, that other thing:
Obama will likely win...Jack cannot.

If he cant have the Taliban over he can allways have Alison Bodine if they will let her back in Canada.

$1:
In the picture here is Alison Bodine, MAWO's most famous activist, with New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton. I'm not posting it here to make Jack look bad. I'm not the one who presented Bodine as the featured opening-night guest speaker at last November's British Columbia New Democratic Party convention. The NDP did.

I'm not the one who happily accepted Bodine's transparently bogus claim that she was the victim of a government plot to "target" anti-war activists. I'm not the one who chose not to notice, two weeks before she got a standing ovation at the NDP convention, that her story had been exposed as rubbish.

It's not as though MAWO's blackshirt conduct and deranged ideology was unknown to NDP activists, either. And yes, I mean deranged: "Wherever Islam is fighting against imperialism, ‘The Left’ must join with Muslims in this fight. . . the Muslims of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine who are fighting on the front lines against imperialism."

Well I don't see any reason for Canada's military to be so powerful or well armed.


Yeah it's not like the Russians are laying claims to Canadian territory and resources. [/sarc]
