Imagine that

"This sounds very simple, but one of our CEOs has said we are in the business of making loans to people who will pay them back," said Terry Campbell, vice president of policy for the Canadian Bankers Association in Ottawa.
In this country the banksters figured out a way to make money lending to people who could not pay it back.

Of course they forgot to cross a few "t"s and dot some "i"s to make even more money but our government is so wonderful that it bailed them out anyway and has so far not put them in jail.

Is our government great?

Bend over. It's coming.

Its funny how Americans think Canada is such a socialist country. We have one of, if not the freest, societies in the world. Canada is open for business, we just like to take care of one another, its in our Constitution and in the "good book".

It is also in the "Good Book", You don't work, you don't eat. (verse 11 gets even more specific, calls them lazy.....etc.)

2 Thessalonians 3:10



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

Canada is the USA's largest trading partner .
Canada has managed to stay steady while many other countries have suffered big time in the last few years .
Canada's money has not gone down like many other countries in the world .
Up until recently Canada & USA had the worlds longest undefended border .

Thats a pretty poor comparison/analogy. First world countries vs third world. I doubt many people in Cambodia have any debt as they don't have any credit.

Hey Robert, I believe Canada's unemployment rate is lower than in the US. Even with our "socialist system" people here do work hard and prosper on their own.

Just think how well both contries would be if some who could work, who do not work, and live of us who do work and pay taxes. This does hurt us all.

Canada, like Europe, depends on the US for defense. It's time to bring all of our troops home from Europe and let them head off the Islam menace for themselves.
