Seems like the crtc is in the big guys pocket.

And in typical Canadian fashion, the vast majority will lay down and assume the position to get royally fucked over...

:roll:

LOL, where did you find that.

Sickening how some companies (oil, insurance and the telecoms) seem to be able to do whatever they like. I would love to see the donations given to the different political parties from these companies.:grrrrrr:

 

[Tizz]

True, but again I think it has alot to do with how we as canadians seem to be willing to just bend over and let it happen

Where is the voice of dissent with the gas prices, telecoms etc, our neighbours to the south would be far less likely to just grin and bear it.

You know this is just the first step...40g for $5 is just to get us used to paying and prevent a major outcry, the prices will edge up to what the market will bear just as gas prices have.

What movie is this from, CG??

And why are they all jumping in that sinkhole?? :shock:

 

[originalbadguy2000]

So very true Scotty, I think you nailed it on the head! Perfect example is the new inflated Hydro bills/smart meter scam. What a slap in the face it was when they had to pay another Province or country to take the extra power away on a slow usage time.

The Provincial Liberals deserve to be booted out and decimated as a party for what they"ve done with their energy policy alone not too mention the HST!:grrrrrr:

Guess it all depends on how powerful you are or who you support$$$$$

Where is the anti combines/monopoly act in all this.

I see they went in and slapped the realtors for restrictive trade practices (hoarding mls and fixed commission rates stuff) but they have no problem with the fact that each night gas prices change simultaneously at midnight, and that some guy is on the radio hours before telling you how much it will change (an mpp or mp I believe), or that they are only paying lip service to competition in the internet market.

JJF you so right about the new hydro meters too.

Seems like they are doing to us what we all want to do to the sps, but atleast we kiss them first.(sorry lame humor attempt)

Who is the biggest mafia. the Catholic church or the Government?.

 

[SamJenkins]

I won't be voting Liberal in the next Provincial election. :grrrrrr:

 

[Nekomimi 13]

The problem though, is there is no real alternative... All 3 major political parties have essentially the same platform. "We'll tax the crap outta you and spend the money on whatever the hell we please!"

:roll: :grrrrrr: :roll: :grrrrrr: :roll:

 

[Curious]

There is no mafia. Just ask them.

which goes right along with my saying:

no matter who you vote for the government always gets in.

Bill Maher said it best the other night: Unlike business, where if there's no more money a company can't spend any more, the government just prints more or raises taxes whenever it needs more.

One day, somewhere, sometime, we're going to reach our breaking point and there's going to be a revolution. Then the politicos will sit back and say to themselves "why oh why do they feel this way? Look at what we've done for them"?

 

[robert p]

OK OK well do I get the power back on or what....I need to make my toast
