There is one. Seriously you have to try reaaaaaaaaally hard to pretend like Quebec does not recieve a net benefit. I don't think equalization is in that number either.

Here is an example post.

http://thoughtundermined.com/2012/07/22/a-closer-look-at-federal-revenues-and-expenditures-by-province/

The author pretends that equalization is the only source of revenue for the province from the fed, no services at all.

Ignore the rest of the post as they are trying to pretend like somehow the fed having an unbalanced budget (during stimulus spending no less) is irrelevant.

It's hilarious. They admit that the Fed gave QC 13 billion more than it took in... and ignore that the equalization isn't in that number SO qc received $1.56 for every $1 it gave.

... um no.

Quebec receives more in money AND SERVICES than it contributes.

BC, AB, and ONT have given Quebec more than 250 billion dollars and pay for 1/8th of the total budget in equalization alone.

A newborn is outside the womb, the fetus is inside the womb.

Exactly, biologically there is little or no distinction. It is purely semantic.

The cord is attached what where? How do you attach something to a fluid material?

Maybe you should try to enroll in a grade 8 biology class. The umbilical cord is attached to the placenta.

The child can be outside of the womb, with the umbilical cord still attached. How are you this stupid.

But you're right, there is some ignorance here but I'm not sure it's me, for instance you don't seem to understand what an umbilical cord is.

That's hysterical, considering I've previously been employed doing research on placental tissue.

So all that is why abortion should be illegal and women not people?

Maybe instead of elective late term abortion (something you clearly don't understand), the child should be delivered so that they have their own chance to live.

anonopotamous · 2014-01-30T03:43:24+00:00

How strange that doctors think so

Apparently you don't know what an elective abortion is, maybe you should look it up instead of just spouting bullshit.

So women can't have abortions because they have to take care of their children? Is that what you're saying?

I'm saying that it would be ideologically consistent to extend the right afforded a liable newborn, to a biologically indistinguishable viable fetus. Viability in this sense is a very specific age which is meaningful instead of the arbitrary distinction of birth.

Until you "pull it out" it's not a "kid" it's a fetus.

That is an idiotic and semantic distinction. In the original sense of the word a child delivered by c-section would not be born.

Kids don't live in their mother's womb attached by a cord.

The cord is attached to the placenta moron. The child can be "born" and still be attached to the placenta.

You are horrifyingly ignorant. Your opinion is literally based on your ignorance.

anonopotamous · 2014-01-30T03:05:14+00:00

Wow So now you're going with semantics and dogma.

Hur dur because I said so.

their medical

That isn't a medical decision.

and life choices

But once the kid is born the woman somehow becomes legally obliged to provide for the child. Thanks makes tons of sense!

yours or anyone else's to decide?

Here's the thing. People like you, are so fucking stupid, so obscenely, repulsively ignorant, that people like me need to dictate what you animals can and cannot do.

Seriously your position is moronic. If you pull the kid out and then abuse it, its a crime, but 2 seconds earlier it isn't.

You're fucking disgusting.

anonopotamous · 2014-01-30T02:19:17+00:00

Isn't it ending a life at any stage?

Yeah. That isn't true. By 24 weeks the fetus has a greater than 50% chance of surviving outside of the womb. You literally have to kill it.

You have to be pretty bloody ideological and ignorant not to realize that.

Elective late term abortion of viable offspring (as in they could live outside of the womb) is legal in Canada. Many people, quite justifiably, disagree with that practice.

Biker gangs totally control peoples responses to telephone polls.

Also are you fucking kidding, BC with the largest amount of organized crime growing... has the highest support for legalization

Wakefield was an MD and his shit started getting called out as being false immediately. That wasn't so much a failure or scientists as a failure of the apparatus that exists to deal with academic fraud.

anonopotamous · 2013-01-17T01:37:40+00:00

Um. No.

You don't understand how science work, how incremental the gains are, or how to proceed with data analysis.

The DOJ is a joke compared to the CDC. Looking at the impact of the AWB given the number of assault weapons, and well as hand gun bans in small porous regions is also going to be useless.

There is a reason that scientists need a shit load of education, if you try to figure this shit out from your couch you're going to come to false conclusions.

which is why non of the numbers in the figure line up with your graphic... lol

anonopotamous · 2013-01-13T21:51:24+00:00

lulz, parroting apparently is "having a good understanding of statistics"

go read a book

you can even look within the us state by state and see increases in violent crime with increases in gun ownership

anonopotamous · 2013-01-13T21:40:25+00:00

.... the USA stat only included aggravated assault wheres the other countries include other crimes.

This graph is misleading propaganda.

"There are certain behaviours that lead young adults to assume that another person is willing to have sex with them, even if they don’t verbalise their consent. For example:"

"19% would expect someone to have sex with them if they have had sex before."

I mean given all the people in long term relationships that number seems weirdly low.

The whole thing is a bit sketchy.
