So, RFD’ers, are you for or against your tax-dollars being used to police the world? Do you believe we should only mobilize against countries that are clear threats to our national security or go around attacking every country that isn’t as democratic as we are?

Should the government get involved in stopping outsourcing?
Discuss.
Are Americans more religious than Canadians, and if so, why?
what factors contribute to this?
Note, this is not a religious discussion debate….this is about one of the sociological differences between our usually similar countries.
New Canada411.ca SCAM
It came to my attention when trips, nigerians scammers, business services and carpet cleaning all started calling in Dec . Before that I was down to virtually no telemarketers.
I googled my number only to find that canada 411 now has individual pages for me and millions of canadians and they’ve submitted them all to google.
They listed my home address and name as a business so pretty much nothing can be done about it. when you call they say we don’t remove business and when you say its personal you get the personal dept but they don’t have a listing since your not a person but a business. see the catch 22. just typical scumbag tactics you would expect from a collection agency or pawn shop.
They are also going extra scummy by passing blame to my phone provider, Canada 411 says we don’t list people and if you want to be removed call your phone company and pay to be unlisted. When I called my phone provider they cut me off and said everyone is calling with the same story. My phone company is a VOIP and they don’t even know if I have a business so they would never list me as business.
Clearly canada 411 is failing and now doing keyword spamming in google.
Advice to everyone, check your numbers and delete them because all the calls are scammers or people asking if you want business cards and carpet cleaning from new mexico
Can anyone help with research

Canadians not surprised porn-surfing federal worker gets his job back
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/…rticle2159136/
Mr. Andrews, a senior analyst in the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, spent more than half his working day trolling news and sports websites from his desk in Ottawa and downloading more than 300 pornographic photos. The department fired him in 2009, alleging he committed “time theft” by claiming pay for time not worked. The government hoped to make an example of Mr. Andrews and wanted to set a precedent for other bureaucrats who waste time online.Mr. Andrews, who has been with the government for 27 years, fought back. He appealed to the Public Service Labour Relations Board and demanded his job back.
During a hearing, Mr. Andrews acknowledged surfing the Net extensively, and he apologized for downloading porn. But he said he wasn’t given enough work to keep him busy and he got bored. He told the tribunal he met every deadline, received positive work appraisals and had never been chastised by managers for perusing the Net too much.
Personal observation – americans are more friendly than canadians
I live downtown Toronto, and people here are rude, introverted and overall cold (except for Friday and Saturday nights where just about everyone is drunk). I grew up in Brampton, and as most know people are aware, you are only well regarded if you belong to a specific caste system within India. Similar situations arise in Markham, Woodbridge and other cultural ghettos.
So why is it that the average canadian has a hard-on against our jolly neighbors down south? Yes, I understand my scope doesn’t include the ghettos of the US, but I am trying to compare apples to apples here.
