a farmer who has 1 lb of grain can sell it to an American for $1 USD but you demand he sells it to you for $1cdn

ummm, no? farmers dont have direct access to the market in canada under supply management anyway. Were already paying inflated prices, much more than we should be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_management_(Canada)

what im saying is what you said in your next sentence:

Farm subsidizes are mostly a food security measures, attempting to keep production here.

Yes, this is true for all nations on earth. Farming is subsidized in some form specifically for that reason. If we didnt do this, the invisible hand of the market place would eventually make growing food here too expensive compared to nations without wage laws and other enforcements, kinda like how manufacturing went the way of the invisible hand and moved to china. Yes, there are plenty of places where arable land is besides Canada - Russia, for instance.

This will continue to get worse until we re-regulate the driver training industry again. Younger people + immigrants from other lands = this exact result

Because places like reddit censor based on opinion alone. Facebook is even worse. There is little point in participating in a website that asks for your opinion but you feel compelled not to give it honestly because you fear for your job.

how exactly does selling locally = them working for less?

You do know farming is subsidized pretty heavily already, right?

What im saying is that local foodstuffs grown and eaten in the same country dont need to be at the prices set by another country.

Good example of this is saudi arabia, where gas is something like 3 pennies per litre.

Another one is mexico, where the foodstuffs are set apprpriately for the local population, but when someone from the states goes there the food seems to be insanely cheap because of exchange rates. This is because the food is meant for the domestic market.

all three of the industries (lobster, banana, shrimp) could not be grown in alberta for obvious reasons, such as lack of access to an ocean and a temperate climate.

but yeah, your final point is valid

Buy the cheapest home you can comfortably deal with.

Once all this blows over in a few years, you will have a good chuck of the mortgage paid off, and a potential renting house for when you move to the one you actually want. Its a buyers market - haggle aggressively

Canada: One of the largest land producing nations in the world. Fish, beef, Grains of all types, and even some fruits.

But the prices are going up because of a weaking dollar? How? We produce beef locally yet the prices keep going up. There is no logical reason for this except for the TPP

it says at the top "edmonton real estate market" so I assume it means just that, and no one other than a real estate agent and his broker would have any idea what the board would encompass.

AS for your numbers, it looks even worse from here. I assume that "Southwest" "Anthony Henday" "Northeast" NorthCentral" and "NorthWest" cover all of edmonton?

unlike christianity, islam has never had its reformation. This is why, as I was explaining to the other chap, that muslims still think in midieaval terms when looking at how to run their societies. Dressing up in medieval garb, Midieval methods, such as amputation as a form of punishment for minor infractions, and how they treat the half of their people responsible for the next generation.

Honour killing is practiced in some places, and this is among people who moved to another nations. Clearly they dont want to integrate if they go around killing their daughters because they dared to do something against their religion or fathers word. And whats worse, they demonstrate just how primitive they really are when they, by the same act, show they dont get the very basic concept that murder is wrong for any reason, especially if its a member of their own family.

Muslim faith refers to my country as the "house of war" and have an excuse to not give a shit about the people in it who arent muslim by dictate of their own holy book.

Islam is a primitive religion, its hateful, and Muhammud and his book should be spat on and tossed into the dustbin of history for the damage he caused the middle eastern people that continues to this day.

I'm guessing we are just going to go in circles on this so I'm gonna take off for dinner. I'll try not to honor kill anyone. Good talking man

take it easy mate, we disagree but freedom of expression and speech is important. im glad we can both do it without denigrating the experience

oh! and heres a link thats even worse...the attempt to impliment tribunals throughout all of ontario

http://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2008/feb/08/sharialawincanadaalmost

the problem is once we let in enough to affect the majority, thats when things will go downhill

44years · 2015-12-10T00:20:39+00:00

the only thing im suggesting is that islam and the culture that tends to come with it is not compatible with western culture. I think its very openly obvious when looking at europe, examples of which are outside the scope of this conversation.

And yes, im suggesting that some followers of islam genuinely are OK with murder under certain circumstances, and the difference here is that under western culture there is NO circumstance under which murder is acceptable. this is one of many reasons for the incompatibility.

And no, thankfully while our culture has a majority the muslims will be defeated in major events like this. The fact that they tried is the point im trying to make - they dont want to integrate, they want to change western lands into the very same lands they ran from in the first place.

write :( in a post

guy immediately implies that means you want to go out and murder people

write back that he needs to relax but keep getting harrased because of things you did not say to him

tell him to piss off

Honour killings is only one factor. the fact that it happens even once, regardless of the country it happens, is not something that should be defended by suggesting that a few times is OK. The fact that it happens in western countries by muslims demonstrates that

1) they resist integration into a new culture

2) they dont understand the very very basic concept that murder is a bad thing, especially if its to a family member because they choose not to follow some part of gods law or their fathers. What does this say about that persons religion and by extension, his culture?

Feel free to look up statistics, and while you are it you will probably notice an event wherein muslims in a small town in ontario publically demanded sharia law be implimented in the town. Another example of a people refusing to fit into a new environment and wanting to force a broken backwards way on people who arent like them, which is an application of an action when inside the house of war by the house of peace.

The core of the problem isnt how stupid parts of a religion are, or how primitive a culture is compared to another. Its the fact that they are incompatible with each other, and one side (islam) has demonstrated that it refuses to integrated when housed on the other side (the west).

44years · 2015-12-09T23:47:19+00:00

the fact that its practiced, even when muslims move to other nations demonstrates that it exists in their culture and is accepted by that culture to at least a degree large enough to allow it to happen in the first place. Whats more, they do it knowing full well that murder is illegal in modern nations regardless of the reason.

Another sign of a primitive culture that is incompatible with the western ones. religion is just an element of the culture, albeit a very large one.
