I have no sympathy for these people

Your in business when you rent out a house and you get all the perks of being a business owner, so why would you expect a handout from the government since your already getting it in the form of massive tax deductions.

At Least One Province Has The Balls Not To Rip Off Their Constituents

It looks like Manitoba isn’t going to adopt the HST at this time, saying that their constituents would be on the hook for a 400 million bill on services and goods that are not taxed on now.

They unlike be BC who just jumped on the bandwagon seeing another way to screw their constituents just like they did when they rammed the dread Carbon Tax* down our throats and that is having adverse effect on the BC economy, thoroughly analyzing what it would do to their province.

This is not say they won’t adopt it in the near future since they have also said that Ottawa isn’t offering sufficient cash incentives to go ahead with the HST.

Lousy Road Condition on the Island Avenue

mywhinge — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:04:07 +0000

The surface of the road that we travel on, on the Island highway which I prefer to call the Island Avenue, since it has to many lights on it to really call it a highway, is not being maintained in a proper manner in a stretch between the end of the Malahat to just south of Nanaimo.

I’m not sure what the cause of it either laziness or budget constraints or both but earlier this year areas on the road were marked by white paint to show where the road was supposed to be cut out and a patch put in it’s place and during the summer which would have been the best time to accomplish this, it never happened and it was’nt until two weeks ago that, instead of cutting out the rotten piece of asphalt and replacing it, it was decided to patch each shock busting hole with a few shovelfuls of hardtop.

What a pathetic attempt to fix a problem that could have been done properly done over the summer by Mainroad South Island Contracting Limited Partnership and now for the rest of the winter we will have to dodge these holes making driving that much more dangerous that it all ready is when we have a heavy rain event or snow to contend with.

Driving Gripes

One question I have for you retards that think they are good drivers.

Do you know what that little plastic stick is on the left hand side of you’re driving column is used for other than turning on your windshield wipers and clicking your headlights from low bean to high and back again.

I’ll take a show of hands.

What none of you know.

It’s for the signal lights on the front and back of your vehicle and it’s a common courtesy that when turning either left or right regardless of where you are, be it on a city street or on a highway, that you show your intention on which way you going to people behind, to the side or in front of you, since we are not mind readers like you retards.

In the Times Colonist on November 13, 2009 there is a very good article on making turns, either when passing another vehicle or making a left hand turn facing opposing traffic. Two dangerous driving manoeuvres
