Please tell me we aren't going to war with Iran... No, they are not going to rain nuclear warheads on us no matter what some right wing kook tells you.  I'd trust Iran before I trust Pakistan and you don't see them bombing us despite the fact that NATO regularly targets them (accident or not). ...

Living within our means can only be a good thing.  Personally I do not see why the CBC should be subsidized to compete against private industry.  This can NEVER be a good thing.  Certainly there is a place for a public broadcaster, but I would argue that their place would be to provide broadcast...

This generation has grown up with the understanding that you do not have to balance your income with expenses.  You can expend whatever you choose by simply borrowing more. Should that fail, you can always declare bankruptcy and start all over again.  When you compound that view with the fact...
