Your opinion on manulife

oh meethead im sure we all know their is many to blame heads of state beurocrats leigion the list goes on i even blame myself for not doing enough.but the bottom line question for me.what one person could have stopped this single handedly.that my freind is a short list.yup the leigion did say yes but i belive they had one point of contention if memory serves.i think they said the 100% mark should be 350000 (what a joke).they just dont get it do they?

I believe if we started to manufacture things in Canada again , kept good paying jobs, Don't allow countries to sell here if we are not allowed to sell there. What I am saying, is I wish every part of Canada was weathly and given equal
opportunity to succeed and built a good life. I was post to Shearwater in 1998, and I thought Nova Scotia was very nice but for my children future and mine there was no high paying jobs, too bad I might have stayed there because I liked eastern passage

i halve anready stated that navrat but it is a good point to bring up again.any country that has far lower wages ore is minipulateing their currancy would be a bad tradeing partner.even though china is developeing a lage part of the worlds economy it would not be worth trading freely with them for the obove mentioned reasons.

Ladies Ladies Ladies Calm down You can point your finger at any head of state and try to lay blame but you would be very WRONG. It is thelife long yes man civil servant that is screwing us over let alone to lobby groups (including the LEGION) that said a big fat YES to the NVC so to all suck back, reload and check your targets it could all be decoys
Lest We Forget

right you are bigrex sometimes you are a have province sometime you are not when you are in many ways you do support the rest and when your not the haves support you in many ways.i wonder if thats what the true definition of a country is?a nation of people that support each other.if so canada should be truely proud to call itself a country.

But Propat, free trade with China and India, we can't compete, China buying oils sands , flooding us with cheap products

Tides change, natural resources get used up. Years ago, in Nova Scotia, people wer employed in coal mines, steel mills or on a fishing boat. Far from glorious jobs, but they were hard working honest people. It was not their fault that society stopped burning coal or that fish stocks were diminished due to global overfishing. Now the natural resource being boosted is the oil industry in the west. Does this make the west better? I don't think so. Sure people may get paid a mint for wages, but when kids cannot afford to leave home while earning $20+/ hour wages, because cost of living is so dang high, then they are no better off than those in the Maritimes earning only minimum wage. So in 10-20 years when the wells go dry, the oil sands are depleted, which they will eventually, and the Prairies will no longer be booming, it will be interesting to see how many flatlanders head out for greener pasture.

that is sad about the family and economic situations in hamilton navrat but they are not alone.look out east where mom works at timmies and when dad goes to work he doesnt go for 8 hours he goes for 6 months to 4 years.

i see that point navrat but we are not that bad off financially speaking we are doing ok.yes free trade with cheep labor market economies is a bad idea but free trade with the us is good in my oppinion.and free trade with th eu is a great idea as well.we are a trader nation navrat becouse we do not have the population to sell a lot of goods to so the 25% of the worlds economy that opened up to us in free trade was a good thing.we have also been in discutions with the eu since 2009 for free trade with them thats another 20% of the worlds economy opened up to us i think that would be great as well.thats my point navrat.

This whol situation could have been dealt with, if Harper wanted, to sit down with veterans group, over a weekend and for once and all fix the whole system, but no he wont, and this new nvc lawsuit will be in the courts for the next 10 years, sad

In Hamilton, Ontario, 40 years ago most families had only one worker, who made a great wage working in the steel plants, had a house, 2 cars and a cottage up north. Rarely did the wife go to work because she was needed at home raising a familiy. She did not need to work because there was a ton of money going around. Today, in Hamilton, That same familiy would have both parents working, one minium wage and maybe one a little higher, house rental, one beat up car and no vacations, sometimes relying on gst cheques for extras. So for my city free trade has been brutal

he did not keep it and implement it becouse the liberals forced him to he is the very definition of a power politition.nothing happens unless he wants it to happen and all opposition is to be crushed.bottom line the only reason we have the nvc today is becouse harper wanted it becouse if he didnt we wouldnt have it.

I dont drink , Propat, What i meant is the socialist benefit structure of some european countries, Germany, Norway, Sweden etc is far superior to our system. This countries can pay living wages and benefits to its people and still compete on a global scale. Where as we cant compete because of free trade and that is why we have become a country where 99 percent are the working poor and 1 percent reap the benefits

aww their we go great post navrat he implemented it when he should never have.this was a liberal policy an in the political world every opposing parties policies you get rid of is a small victory. so why did he not get rid of this one?

Anyway if Harper was a friend to the veteran, he could have wrapped this lawsuit up by now, he could have offered damages and legal fees covered as a sign of being sorry from the GOC. But no he wont do that, hes just giving what he HAS to. Also welfare pays more to funeral homes to bury welfare clients than VAC pays for veterans, This could be changed at a drop of a hat, Also what about this new lawsuit regarding the NVC, he could start settleing with the law firm if he wanted to, he could scrap the parts of the NVC which are shat and throw in the good parts of the pension act. Harper has the power so i ask , if he was so caring why not just take care of business and fix the whole thing, if he really cared
