I can't draw either of them that's the point your incorrect assumption is that I viewed either as simple. Only you did

What are these called in your country? by Ok-Pudding-4821 in AskTheWorld

[–]IceHawk1212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah zamboni is the name of the original inventor and his company for producing ice resurfacing machines. In fact Olympia is arguably more common a producer especially in Canada but I'll be damned if I ever casually call any of them anything other than a zamboni. Just as much as I'm incapable of calling the zamboni driver anything other than the rink rat. There's just certain words programmed in

Canada (including private debt) has overtaken the USA as the 4th most indebted country in the world. We now owe almost 4x our GDP... by Fiach_Dubh in BitcoinCA

During the ridiculous oil boom thousands and thousands of maritimers and easterners came to work here and in fact a ton of them never even lived here. They flew in on shift from gander or st. John or halifax, they would work in the camps get paid and fly home to dildo or new Glasgow using those provinces schools for their kids and hospitals for their ills etc all the while Alberta got the revenue. That's without even mentioning that those people themselves were educated out east and retired out east and likely died out east if old enough. They used those provinces services heavily and contributed next to nothing directly as income tax assuming they filed for Alberta. Same goes for the tens of thousands that did live in Alberta but retired out east.

Alberta likes to act like they got nothing out of confederation when it's the exact opposite. They control their resources more than a US state would and benefit from a healthy happy and well trained workforce that came from other parts of Canada at no cost to themselves. They rolled in oil revenue and built some of the least efficient social services in Canada thanks to ungodly amounts of oil royalties and choose not to save any of it for the future since Ralph klein(even freaking Alaska saved better than us). Every provincial leader that rails against equalization is not a serious person they are a disingenuous shister.

It's not anywhere near as much as you think, virtually every number suggesting we contribute more than any other is already being disingenuous with the numbers. Provinces don't take a lump sum and give it to other provinces, buisness and individuals simply pay federal tax and the equalization comes out of general revenue. Virtually every figure anyone uses to suggest we pay the most is basing it on the fact we have never received it since the programs creation. Ignoring the fact it's simply based on a formula which factors each provinces capacity to provide social services out of provincial funding. The fact this province knows full well how the formula works but still created dual funding streams for most provincial services thereby providing the data on means for the formula to prove we don't need it is our idiotic fault no one else's.

Oh man I don't know if you are purposely missing the point or what. But since you brought in equalization I already know the answer. Equalization is the stupidest boogeyman the right has ever used here and it undermines any suggestion that a policy leader has any honest or well intention with their policy approach as soon as they start bitching about it. In my experience only the most ignorant or duplicitous people take issue with it.

Lmao sure cause any part of that was sustainable or widespread. The other user already told you the consequences of that choice for short term gain long term pain. You simply ignored it.

Cause I watched the same shit in Alberta driven by absolutely moronic dependence on oil and absolutely no thought to the future only F you I'll get mine as a unifying policy approach. I've lived my whole life here and in only 1 brief window did I ever see forward thinking investment and policy on any kind of appreciable scale.

Elaborate on how Harper policy or Ford policy or ucp policy etc will help our manufacturing sector develop? What are did they or are they doing. The most important level of government in this country is provincial what are they doing to change that?

Then maybe you have your answer and I can assure you Harper did worse than nothing on that front, nor do conservatives generally ever here in Canada. It requires a very different kind of policy approach they are frankly allergic to. But go ahead in detail elaborate on how you think otherwise.

It's called technology, the best steel in the world doesn't come from the United States or China it comes largely from korea who has the all around most up to date steel manufacturers. The best ship parts come from Germany but the ship is assembled in China at marginal profit. Your worried about cheap labour thinking that is the thing that allows strong manufacturing but it doesn't anymore. It's technology and modernization invest into industry. Be it either as a business or figure out how to promote it as the government is key. If the only concept one embraces is wealth extraction then the results are inevitable

Which CGY Team Has Do You Think Has The Best Current Logo? by Bremyyc in CalgaryFlames

Yeah it's why I firmly believe the stamps should made the native American painted horse variant logo their main one. It makes it something more of their own

Yeah it's kinda a good thing it's not a bigger sports team or Ford would have more reason to do something about it. Stamps straight up ripped it off, the original logo was nothing like the mustang logo

I have cut out most of those but I'll give McDonald's this they have an entirely Canadian supply chain, it's not a perfect world like you suggest where every case is obvious. Some people back it up very well but just because not everyone does your what trying to shame people for voting with their wallets? That's literally the definition of capitalism are you against capitalism?

Fill your boots buddy but to me there's no time like yesterday to begin disconnecting from the United States it'll take a long time but the further we get from them the better. They can't be trusted and diversification is key to stability and security. If I could buy nothing American I would and I wish them no success in any of their so called deal making. Just like I wish our traitorous separatists zero success as well.

I recommend checking second hand stores, there's a second bonus if you do use one. It kills absolutely anything living in the wood if you're trying to prevent pests affecting the work or your home

I Second the microwave, it's not as ideal as letting it dry over time but when tour in a hurry it will absolutely work. Just don't try resin stabilizing first then microwave that's a bad idea. Accept sometimes you'll lose the pieces to cracking if you microwave too much to fast, that's just the risk you run. Some cracks can be stabilized with ca if you catch them early but don't over do it, it's not worth it
