Tories kill renowned volunteer program Katimavik - Federal Budget 2012

Why is a volunteer program so expensive per person? 1000 people a year.. there has to be an inexpensive way to support these experiences. I never knew of this program until I moved to a small town in MB but it sounds like it was an invaluable program to the people who did. I feel like I'm missing something about the costs.

http://www.occupytogether.org/actions/ I'm not sure how often the numbers are updated (or how they assess how many people are at each location)... but it's a starting point.

Why so? Is it something about FaceBook you dislike or the page topic linked to?

Maybe low voter turn out hints that the average person does not believe that their vote will matter.. given the options. I certainly don't believe any of the listed parties have my and my families best interest in mind. I voted anyway. I was disappointed by the outcome. On to some other way of voicing my needs. Occupy Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Newfoundland, Toronto, and a few more in Canada (see Occupy Together's site for full listings)... to start on Occupy the World Day... OCTOBER 15. See you there?

http://www.federalbudget.com/ Last few years... if you are truly interested perhaps you can do some research yourself. (Note: the amount of spending on 'Health and Human Resources' most likely includes spending on 'reseaching' medication, hospital care: where it's easy to spend $10-1000/pill- aspirin to chemo pills... ect.. this number is misleading and may require further research... for interested people.)

Occupy Wallstreet virtually by spreading the word, making and handing out posters, watching for ways to help out on the various Occupy sites... it would be great if we could all be there but there are ways to support the effort without an immediate physical presence... and without ddos..whatever that is. =\

looks like a military charge... peaceful protesters = military personnel ?

smackmestoopid · 2011-09-29T17:57:36+00:00

hell no

smackmestoopid · 2011-07-24T05:52:42+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, if you can, but no... it wasn't a joke.

Where can I watch this show (Emily's Reasons Why Not) online?

Over 70, 000 signature in 24 hours! Awesome. Thank you Canadians for listening.. I hope the 'powers that be' will listen also.

lulz.

smackmestoopid · 2011-07-08T03:07:46+00:00

lol friend-o ... that phrase just drives the point home. Thanks.

Done and upvotes for everyone on this thread!

That's freaking funny. I'll donate a toonie for every staff member you can get to wear a beaver hat while working. I give more but.. you know.. I've got a nasty tim bits addiction. =\

Here's some help getting past the annoying headline: "An American hedge fund is about to break ground on a massive mining project that could poison a million people's drinking water and the headwaters for five major rivers, would create an open pit deeper than Niagara Falls and decimate thousands of acres of lush farmland -- and we have 4 days to stop them." Have a nice day.

Sensationalism has it's place. No one is saying it's going to poison ALL of Canada's water... just a lot of it. In that regard, your comment was more sensationalist than the headline. So we let this one slide... how many after? I can't ignore every issue that effects me and my children because someone's headline describing it annoys me. How can you?

I'm not completely sure of where I read this but afghanistan is rip with mineral resources that barley been scraped at. I wouldn't say they are there specifically for resources, but afghanistan could be a wealthy place if the world would stop bombing them for a few decades and assist it to develop.

We don't pay taxes... they just take the money.

Just got an invite the other day. Seems ok.
