RFD’ers: Are you for or against your tax-dollars being used to police the world?

It seems there are quite a few neo-cons on this website that support the warmongering of our government and would love to have us go around the world, following the U.S and ousting dictators who aren’t security threats to our country or Canadians abroad, all while the Canadian taxpayer foots the bill. Harper tried to raise the "issue" of Syria with China on his trip according to this article and it is quite evident had it not been for China and Russia, he would jump at the chance of attacking a sovereign nation.

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?

Why do Canadian parents….?

Why do Canadian parents (white) (btw im white too, but immigrant, and I always get confused for persian/lebanese but im no where close) consider their kids getting an arts degree an accomplishment? What follows is a life of poverty. When I used to be in highschool the Canadian kids were always the ones well off, they did well in school, and it seemed like they had a bright future. The immigrants kids were always at the bottom of the social ladder, had difficulty with school (some) and it seemed like they might not do so well in life. Now that that everyone has grown up the vast majority of immigrants are successful and well off, while the Canadians are arts graduate living just above poverty and will continue to do so for the majority of their life. <— Most could put in extra effort and do another career path while still young but its like talking to a wall when you tell them that. Anyone else had similar observations/experience?

Should the government get involved in stopping outsourcing?

That Canadian jobs belong to Canadians and any company that outsources a job to a foreigner willing to work for a fraction of the cost should be punished? Or should the government stay out of it and let the free market work its magic?

Discuss.

Are Americans more religious than Canadians, and if so, why?

Our countries seem so similar, but it always seems to me that Americans are more "God-fearing" than Canadians.. We see it in their media, sports figures, politicians platforms and PR…do you agree? Why/why not?
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

Maybe this is old news for some but canada411.ca has recently turned shady. I removed my number from them years ago but now just last month I realized they put me in with a false listing you can’t delete, and not in the database but my very own .html page

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

SOPA/PIPA – For or Against? It affects Canadians too!

Are you supporting this? It doesn’t matter if your Canadian or not, this will eventually effect you. It will affect RFD too since their website is hosted in the US!

Here is a great article from a Canadian standpoint:
http://www.andymci.com/sopa-canada/

I’ve blacked out my website (which is hosted in the US) and I’m Canadian – http://totaldream.org/

If you would like, you can add the same code to your site from https://github.com/zachstronaut/stop-sopa
NOTE: The code from the link above (for web admins) uses a 503 heading, as a temporarily page, keeping your SEO up.

Canadians not surprised porn-surfing federal worker gets his job back

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/daily…183723562.html

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 have travelled to a few US states in the past year (NY, NH, MA, FL, VT), and to various others in previous years. Everytime I have been regarded in a very friendly, welcoming manner by the locals. I understand some of it has to do with tourism, but I have also been to small towns within these states where tourism is not a factor, and folks are just as friendly.

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.
