Quebec….”have not”? Hummmm …..well the Muslims are off the dart board and some people have had their go at the Natives……now the next on the list seems to be Quebec.
Art….speaking ill of Alberta is not acceptable in the world of the ultra-right-winged CONservative Harper followers. Even those who do not live in Alberta they still consider it the Church of the Nativity where even though he was not born there….it is where Stephen Harper was made sacrosanct. Harper was not given gold, frankincense and myrrh…he was given oil, greed and arrogance. To them it is acceptable to sell off our resources to anyone on the outside, even a Communist dictatorial country. It’s as if they all were suddenly injected with DNA from Kevin O’Leary….”I want moneyyyyyyy”!…no matter what I have to destroy to get it.
Selling off Canada’s resources is like having a 4 bedroom house and your father rents out your rooms and the family finds themselves sleeping in the crawl space in basement. If you do not control your own home….you lose it. Here we are in Canada, a wealthy nation and with resources the world wants and we have technology and lots of people with knowledge or who could be trained…… but we still sell it off. With the third larges oil reserves in the world……….How ridiculous!
The core business of any business is to stay in business. Which means spending less than you are making.
Actually the core of business is to keep all the money for yourself. If you have a business and outsource it to everyone else you make ‘x’ amount of money. If you do the work yourself, have skilled people and manage your own money….. you make ‘xxxxx’ amount. In my business the money goes in my pocket………no one else’s.
mikey……..my pocket…..from which I pay all, including employees. You knew that, or should have, especially if you supposedly do taxes for a living.
Surely you already knew that??
Yes, but that wasn't explained ....if,..... that was what was meant. So it's still up in the air.
There is no mistake and frankly.....I'm not in a mood today to be baited.
Fly little sparrow, fly, fly, fly.
As a Newfoundlander, anytime you want to go fishing mikey, you just let me know.
Them Scandanavian welfare states are models of perfection, ain't they? lol.
Not bad actually for those who understand.
Denmark's economy stands out as one of the most free in the Index of Economic Freedom and the Economic Freedom of the World. Denmark is one of the most competitive economies in the world according to World Economic Forum.
Denmark has the most free labour market in Europe, according to the World Bank.
The World Bank ranks Denmark as the easiest place in Europe to do business. Establishing a business can be done in a matter of hours and at very low costs.
Denmark has the fourth highest ratio of tertiary degree (highest education) holders in the world.
Denmark has the world's lowest level of income inequality and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%.
Denmark's electricity sector has integrated fluctuating and unpredictable energy sources such as wind power into the national grid. Denmark now aims to focus on intelligent battery systems (V2G) and plug-in vehicles in the transport sector.
A welfare state.......... is a "concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life.
I think the 'have' and 'have not' concept is draconian. Each Province gives their share of many things to Canada as a whole. For those Provinces with money to feel superior those who do not have the same is one of the factors in the mentality of division within Canada. Then when people use it to 'look down' on another Province, especially for their agenda, it's a childish school yard attitude like some rich kid making jokes about some other kid who is from a family with less money.
"In Canada, the provinces are loosely divided into "have" and "have not." "Have not" provinces do not generate enough money domestically to cover their federally-mandated programmes (i.e. healthcare, welfare, pensions). "Have" provinces are the ones that do generate enough money to pay for their provincial programmes. Alberta and Ontario are the have provinces, Quebec is the benchmark of standards that the provinces have to meet, and all the others are "have not"."
"The Territories don't factor in at all. They lack the autonomy over their resources that the provinces have, and receive their operating budgets directly from the federal government. In exchange, the feds take all the profits derived from the Great White North. They're set, as they can never go broke, but they can never profit and prosper. They won't wind up in the hard shape of PEI, but they won't be rolling in dough Alberta style. Thus the major difference between a province and a territory. (PS, Alberta's per capita GDP is ~55000 dollars ... NWT is at about 85k. If you think Alberta's rich, if there was a province of NWT, the few people that live there would be raking it in hand over fist even more than the Albertans.)"
