Unbelievable. Time for Canadians to follow our 'merican cousins and
toss the Conservatives out for something more progressive.
Our current clowns are dumping all our lighthouses to save money, but
can blow over $1 billion on hosting the G8 and the G20 summits.

In reality, they are not needed any more as WW II ended a long time
ago.
If you are a cruzing in these ares without a modern GPS and no maps,
your nuts. You could also try to fly with feathers glued on and jump
off a cliff.
I am no lover of Canadian politicians, Harpo is in my riding and I
don't
vote for that liar fool and more than the Liberal/NDP tax-me more
crowd
of idiots. At least once and awhile Harpo does something, even so
pityfully small as this, does it right. Cut some of the deadwood from
bloated up you ass government.
We..... Mr landlubber...did you see the CBC item where part of that $1
billion + also went to carve a fake lighthouse out of a tree stump...
all
on the eve of dumping all the country's lighthouses.......even the
Sambro
lighthouse off Halifax, which is the longest operating one in North
America.
Those Conservatives all all about 'fakes' and short on genuine.
The Alberta Conservative viewpoint................

Well they do have a point, think about it, in the last 25 yrs, what has
Halfax contributed to Canada? It does sound like you are a drain on
Canada's economy. You really are just useless surplus.
Big fat governemnt like you are getting from Obama does not care about
efficiency of tax dollars, they can just tax the sheep some more when the
debts come due. And looking at the congressional government revenue
projections, Americans are looking at whopper sized tax increase to catch
you up to Kanada.
You are right, we have 9 provinces that are classified as have not
provinces. Only one producer left. A have not province like Nova Scota
and Halifax get a disproportionate amount of support from Ottawa. So
there is zero incentive to fix imbalances and government waste. The
biggest business in the east coast of Canada is unemployment insurance,
EI... They even rig it you work the 10 weeks minimum to go right on EI.
When government gets too big, and I mean any government, people suffer. It
is a constant in history. Any time a government gets too much power and
control, people suffer. Be it Roam, US, Germany Japan...
Because when they get too big, they can start useless wars and move wealth
from the peoples pocket to government. Rack the debt and at some point
collapse just like Rome. US is now on the downhill ride as is Caanda.
On a value basis, I believe China has already eclipsed the US as the
worlds economic superpower. India is right behind China, in 10 years US
might be lucky to be #3. All wasted because of big fat out of control
government.
And this is boating... there will be less boats as Americans can afford
fewer of them.
Short of a massive overhaul of governemnts in north america, I would say
history is repeating itself.

Liberalism - a disease of envy, greed, entitlement and KAOS.
You do forget one important fact...
at the time of Confederation, Nova Scotia was the wealthiest province in
Canada.
Quebec & Ontario were able to work new trade restrictions and tariffs to
favour themselves while destroying our natural trading partners..... such as
New England.
By the time the Free Trade Agreement came along with promises to correct
this imbalance, it was too late. All manufacturing had long gone (with a
few exceptions) and we only had natural resources to sell.... somewhat like
Alberta now. God help you when the oil runs out...you'll be back to the
dust bowl days.
