I agree but why are all the threads locked in the Water Cooler? You want someone to post, unlock some threads. Maybe the old members got turned off with the hacking! I believe it was the ‘Attawapiskat’ post that got the mod’s nervous.. and for good reason. Once section 13 of the CHRC is repealed, w...

Highly paid people who could ruin your life forever are not as smart as you are, apparently: Canadian Supreme Court Justice doesn’t know what ‘buggery’ means............ There was some comic relief in the courtroom as Justice Marshall Rothstein, while questioning Schuck, demanded to know how Whatcot...

Jealousy and shame is the motivation behind Canada’s radical leftists. They would never admit jealousy is what drives them. In fact, they probably don't even recognize that trait in themselves. But the way the radical left looks at things is not what they have, but what others have. They obsess that...

That was a fantastic tribute by Simmons.
God bless America, the best neighbours Canada could ever hope for. Happy Thanksgiving to all south of the border, both our countries have much to be thankful for.

Never heard of this dame... another French language activist or simply a Don Cherry hater? She’s out of line and it’s none of her business to pass comment on anyone chosen to receive this honorary degree. Don Cherry is a friend of the military and he’s sincere. This is sickening, but Don has pushed ...

TFSA's are quite the gift. It's worth considering topping one up even if you have to borrow to do it, especially if you can use a secured LOC in the 3 to 4 percent range. Another 2 years and two months and you can have 25 k to invest with no capital gains tax. If you're young and willing to be a li...

KAG, are you holding physical, miners or ETF’s?

I’ll look in to that..meanwhile, what’s the downside (in your opinion)? Not the market, but this particular vehicle.

I use TD Waterhouse “Active Trader”. I trade S&P bull/bear ETF’s, Gold/Silver ETF’s and Oil ETF’s. Works fine for me. I don’t know what a tfsa is..I can’t help you there. For real-time CDN quotes , try “Quote Tracker”. I have lottery picks in my RBC account, and can buy and sell through it. I ha...

This is a rule change for all futures, not just commodities. If as you say, this is a widely circulated opinion, correct or not, it’ll have an effect. One way to overcome emotions, errors and mistakes is to use Trailing Buy and Sell Stops to enter and exit without guesses, hunches, opinions or predi...

The federal government has pledged to alter Canada's laws governing self defence, with an eye to giving citizens increased latitude to protect themselves and their property.

Remember when we got bin Laden how we had to be very careful to bury him according to Islamic traditions and to not offend anyone. Meanwhile when they get Gaddafi they beat him, shoot him, parade his body around and drag him through the streets ... then store him in a meat locker display case ...all...

And most of the rest of them at Nuremberg.. I'm not that sad to see the back end of Osama, or of Gaddafi, but I find it vaguely disconcerting that they weren't apprehended, tried, and so on. Aren't we supposed to be the good guys, concerned with justice, the rule of law, human rights etc..? I wonde...

You misinterpreted him Jake. He meant they are bent on a scorched earth policy and do not care what damage they cause. You're also mistaken that the deficit should be a linear progression. In Bush's eight years his policies and lack of oversight of the financial industry set in motion an accelerati...

I have a very good feeling that once you arrived in the land of Clocks and Chocolate, you were respectful of your new surroundings. I'm also willing to bet you took the time to learn the customs and courtesies of Switzerland. My point is, not all those who come here do the same, be it Canada or Ame...

My late mother was able to briefly collect a pension from Eaton’s. As was the case with Nortel, the problem was an under-funded defined benefit pension program that went BOOM. Nortel was unionized nose-to-tail..Eaton’s had an employee association. So, the employees had representatives on the pension...

It won’t be long before Egypt eyes Libya’s oil fields. Do the math: Eighty million Egyptians with no natural resources facing six million Libyans with plenty of oil and a huge hard to defend territory. It WILL happen.

A farmer in Alberta, Brian Russell Knight, was charged criminally and sentenced to 90 days.. that is 60 days more than one of the criminals got who had entered Mr. Knight’s property illegally and tried to steal equipment. Mr. Knight’s crime....... He had taken out his shotgun to defend his property ...

All these nutbars are displaying are qualities that successive Liberal governments have bestowed upon us as "Canadian values". They think they are 'entitled' to free education, free health care, free room(affordable housing) and board (living wage) and they expect all this from a benevolen...
