Canadians Love Their Beer, Eh
2008-06-09 19:25:00 Canadians get shit for a number of reasons, maybe that’s what leads them to drinking so much alcohol or it could just be that there isn’t much else to do when it’s cold as fuck outside 10 months of the year.

Gas prices keep climbing, and Canadians continue paying for it
2008-05-19 06:54:00 It seems that Canadians pretty much are got used to high gas prices by now.

It could be the fact that it was rainy today and there were not too many other things to do for many people, or maybe because it was the middle of the long weekend, but the big mall

2008-04-30 22:55:00 It probably looks tempting for the maple-syrup-eaters flocking in Phoenix. All those half-off deals, the sea of foreclosures, the ruined families to take advantage of, the thousands and thousands of bank-owned debt-traps. But it's still not close to the bottom. Not even close. It's the P/E stupid.

Canadians are violent when they?re happy
2008-04-22 23:30:00 DAVID WILKINS NEEDS TO GET THESE PEOPLE A XANAX You have to hand it to hockey because, to my knowledge, it is the only sport in the world where fans will riot after their team wins the first series of the playoffs — even though they are still three rounds away from the Stanley Cup. Like last night in Montreal when the Canadiens (the hockey team) beat the Boston Bruins in game seven and the Canadians (the people) showed their joy by looting stores and burning police cars. A guy who is me was quoted as saying, “Holy crap, those are some hardcore fans.” Unfortunately, this means that former House Speaker David Wilkins hasn’t been doing his job as ambassadorship to America Jr., which includes checking the country’s homework and making sure its citizens take their medicine before bed time. I’m guessing what happened was they suckered him into thinking they were just docile, simple folks who enjoy a trouble-free life of socialized health care and maple...

2008-04-13 01:13:00 photo by Timothy Neesam/CBC The Canadian Broadcast Company's disbandment of its classical music division and traveling orchestra series last month has produced outrage from Canadians across the country.Yesterday, in eight cities throughout Canada, including Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver, protesters demonstrated outside CBC offices.The CBC's reaction: "We have a mandate as a national public broadcaster ? to represent the musical diversity and creativity in the country, and that's exactly what we're going to do. Classical, yes, but other kinds of music as well." [Full article].John Terauds, a classical music critic, wrote to the Toronto Star, essentially agreeing with the CBC's decision in the interest of 'indie pop and rock':Wouldn?t it be nice if our portal truly reflected the country ? so our rich and ever-regenerating indie pop and rock artists and burgeoning world and world-fusion musicians can get equal airtime (and bandwidth) with the venerable Toronto and Montreal sym...

Canadians apparently love sex, hate TV
2008-03-21 17:27:00 A recent article claims to have uncovered proof that Canadian baby-boomers prefer watching television to having sex. The study, which targeted adults between the ages of 40 and 64, indicates that while most participants reported spending an average of 15 minutes a day on sex and romance, they reported spending as much as five hours a day watching TV or surfing the Internet. Freaky Canadians… only five hours a day watching TV or surfing the Net? Pah-leez! We, Americans, watch five hours of America’s Next Top Model and related coverage every day. And what about Idol? Sure the show is only an hour, but then you’ve got to spend at least another two hours frantically calling in votes for Ace and Kellie. And for those of us who have office jobs, seriously… what else do we do between the two 30-minute meetings we have each day but surf the web, shop and check our email? And who are they trying to impress? Fifteen minutes a day on sex and romance? What the hell ...

2008-03-09 07:47:00 Canadians not crazy about new energy-saving lightbulbs: "The federal government's plan to phase out incandescent light bulbs isn't such a bright idea, according to Canadians who wrote to the federal Environment Department.Environmentalists think the plan to ban the energy-sucking incandescent bulbs by 2012 makes perfect sense.But in 33 pages of feedback on the plan from Canadians to the federal government, people were almost unanimous in panning the initiative. They didn't like being forced to make the change, argued the new bulbs wouldn't fit their lamp shades, worried about more mercury being released into the environment, and said they had major health concerns."Link

Canadians and the basics of insurance
2008-03-06 16:53:00 Poll suggests Canadians don't understand the basics of insurance.A surprising number of Canadians lack a basic understanding of some of the most fundamental concepts of insurance, according to research conducted on behalf of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC).In a study of 3,220 Canadians, undertaken by the research firm Pollara, only a small majority (58%) of respondents knew that when a person pays for home and car insurance, the insurance company pools the money with other people's premiums in order to pay claims for all of a company's customers.A total of 41% of respondents incorrectly believed their money was:set aside to cover future claims by the individual who paid the premium (14%);used in some way unknown to the survey respondent (26%);used in some other fashion (1%).Only 28% of respondents correctly defined the word "indemnity" as "providing financial compensation for losses." Almost all (90%) of Canadian policyholders interviewed expressed confidence they had the ri...

Bill C-10 will protect Canadians from funding Porn. Like the porn industry
2008-03-04 22:48:00 Hey, my fellow film producers out there. Stop worrying about Bill C-10. It will protect us and our audience against the evils of the Porn Industry. Apparantly, Porn Producers have been milking the government Tax Credit system for years, because the Canadian Porn industry has been under-represented in the media. This is the only way that Bill C-10 will effect Canadian film productions says Piere Poilievre during an interview on CBC Radio's The Current. But, a closer look at the current guidelines for film productions applying for the Federal Tax Credit refund shows that porn is already listed as an ineligible genre. Section 5 in the Tax Credit guidelines Ineligible genres of production plainly lists the types of projects that Heritage Canada will not consider funding.

Can't Depend On The Canadians?
2008-02-22 17:15:00 Canada's prime minister unveiled a proposal on Thursday to withdraw his country's forces from volatile southern Afghanistan in 2011, a move that largely accedes to opposition demands amid threats of an early election. Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government is trying to extend past February 2009 the military operation in Kandahar province, a region that was once the Taliban's stronghold. "It seems clear that we have moved significantly toward the kind of bipartisan consensus that can be presented to Parliament for ratification," Harper said. Harper's government has been under growing pressure to withdraw Canada's troops as the death toll increases, now at 78 soldiers and a diplomat. 79 people dead and the Liberal Party (why am I not surprised), of Canada wants to withdraw from Afghanistan??
