Hee hee. I love the Fox News one... and the others.. yes, about time people wake up. There's an easier way to live that does not pit us against one another, is not based on some assumed privilege or superiority, and where everybody gets their basic needs met. F Capitalism.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is a hoot!!
ReplyDeleteuptonking - I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteC'mon guys, Fox has a right to make a living.
ReplyDeleteOn one condition though: the whole cost for treating any kind of mental disease in the U.S. should be billed to that very network.
(note to me self: apply for top project manager position at U.S. Health Department)
Love the first one for that «Fuck News» scaring people of low brain cells or non educated ones in USA.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have such TV news networks in Canada but some radio stations are a bit telling some conspiracy theories or misleading stuff but never at the largest point as F.N.
No.2 is for most of it (we don't have NASA but the Canadian Space Agency) what we have in Canada for decades. Some are funded by the cities administration and taxes some are provincial competencies others are federal ones like the army or bank deposit insurance etc.
Universal health care is a provincial competency by our Constitution but there are some Federal money coming to help all the provinces to buckle up the budgets as for the universities too.
We have two level of elder pension, one is provincial that you can widraw at 60 or 65 yo by choice (RRQ) and another one from the Federal that is given to ALL elder ones at 65yo (SV).
penultimate: the problem is that all these activities are expensive and need a lot of taxes. But the politicians are there to decide. it is what we expect on its own. We have to see if they choose (or how much they choose) money and resources for a few rather than for many!
ReplyDeleteBatRedneck - You're such a comedian.
ReplyDeleteJiEL - I like your retirement benefits.
Xersex - The few have been getting screwed for far too long.
Forgot to tell that those two governments ritering incomes are added to my teacher's retiring plan I paid in part ant in part by the school boards I was working for 37years.
ReplyDeleteI've retired on January 21 2011 and my icome all adding those is around $2 250 Can (after taxes taken off) each months.
JiEL - That's a very respectable income! I remember you telling me about it before. I have only one income from the federal government of $1,400/month. I pay no taxes on that.
ReplyDeleteHere teachers of all level are in «unions» and each 4 years the working conventions are renegociated. Those unions did a lot to help us to have nicer working conditions and more.
ReplyDeleteI also have a private retirement fund that I can manage as I want.
The main thing is that the cost of life here in Montreal is lower than in Toronto or Vancouver and really lower than many cities in USA.
In comparaison, a simple average house in Montreal cost around $500 000, the same in Toronto is $1 250 000 and in Vancouver $3 million.
JiEL - That is quite a difference in price!
