Altavistagoogle: Fees When Donating Online to Canadian Political Parties
I just finished watching The Ides of March on Netflix Canada and I got in the mood to make a donation to a political party. Since I haven't waited until the last minute this year, I thought about sending a check so that none of my donation gets eaten up

The rules of federalism don't always make sense. John A. Macdonald wasn't a fan. But it is what it is and we have it. If you want to mess with it, Toronto, and have the federal government pay for bus drivers and potholes, than here is what we could also

So there are a bunch of armed religious zealots running around Syria and Iraq trying to turn that region into a Saudi Arabia minus the Saudi part. How is that Canada's problem? -Are they a military threat to Turkey (a NATO ally?) -Are they a military threat to any other

La F1 c’est une fin de semaine par année et pourtant le gouvernement
Harper lui accorde 5 millions de dollars par année pour les prochains
20 ans. Le mascaret de Moncton, quant à lui, est à tous les jours et
n’obtient pas un cent du fédéral. 😉

The government subsidizes TV. That's like having the Queen on the money (they don't even do that in Scotland). It is anachronistic and should end. Poor people pay far more federal taxes in Canada than in the USA. Granted, they get healthcare that is partially funded by the federal government,

The only time I every watch a 24 hour "news" network is via the Daily Show with John Stewart. For anybody that can read, the Internet is a much better source of news. Dito, perhaps even more so, for the weather network. And yet Canadian cable and satellite subscribers are

Dès leur entré au pouvoir, les Conservateurs du Nouveau-Brunswick ont augmenté la taxe sur l'essence. Malgré cette augmentation, la taxe est moins élevé qu'au Québec ou en Nouvelle-Écoisse. Et contrairement au Maine, il n'y a pas de péage sur les routes du Nouveau-Brunswick. Mais malgré cette augmentation, le ministre des

Full time foreign students can work in Canada up to 20 hours a week. In addition, they can work in Canada up to 4 years after graduating as long as the job is somehow related to their field. In Moncton, that means hundreds of foreigners working in call centres. Without

Mind blown. Walmart will deliver a $1 can of ham to me for free via Canada Post (I live in Moncton).

Rex Murphy seems to think that religion should over-ride democracy. Firstly, the idea that Christians MPs need to impose their faith on others by banning stuff is ludicrous. Christian MPs who are strongly against abortions, shouldn't have abortions. Should Muslim and Mormon Liberal MPs be allowed to leverage their Liberal

I consider myself a progressive. I've given thousands to the NDP and even threw a few strategic progressives dollars to the Bloc Québécois. I also consider myself an environmentalist. Perhaps not enough to give up my travel addiction (poverty has temporarily taken care of that), but enough of one that

Justin Bourque murdered 3 Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers Wednesday night in Moncton. Based on his Facebook page, the alleged RCMP killer clearly loved guns. When I read his Facebook page, he still had 49 friends, many with public timelines no less scary than Bourque's. This is what I gleaned
