The difference between the two responses shows how they're in different leagues in terms of their skills and experience

Agents may be the easy scapegoat but agents don't cause the bidding wars, demand does. It's neither unfair nor improper. Value is what you assign to it. People need to take responsibility for their decisions. What's important is that you have an agent that facilitates and informs those...

Let us know if you go with those super-low mortgage rates offered by the brokers on that link. It'd be interesting to find out how it works. I looked into those rates but no one else - not branch staff, internal bank mortgage officer, or independent broker - was able to confirm the validity...

People have provided many sound reasons why urban areas should have power plants (as they pretty much ALWAYS HAVE) but you're just blind to it. Read the forum again sir. People have busted this myth on this three times over. Benefits include lower transmission costs, less transmission loss...

I grew up in the burbs and loved it. I work here in Toronto. But, ^ ^ ^ ^ This this this. Naturally, when my wife and I went to leave our TO apartment to buy a house we started looking in the suburbs and were shocked at the prices. Not the sticker prices, but all of the associated costs -...

Um, our whole economy is based on the burning of fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels for power generation all across this province and country, and we use fossil fuels to transport ourselves and our goods. Without fossil fuels you would have no standard of living, and would not be living where...

My fav is the facebook page tag line - "we should not burn fossil fuels upwind of Canada's largest population centre!" Why not, when the largest population centre depends on burning fossil fuels to survive? Each and every one does, from the little to the big. Ummm we do that every single...

The difficulty with this plant is its location, in the sense that location-wise it's actually relatively well-placed - industrial corridor, near a highway, not smack-dab in the middle of a residential area. If you can't place this one here, where can you place it? The 45 000 car argument is a...

(Psssst...you can still do that in public schools too, just minus the jesusy stuff - but then again, Xmas isn't Jesus's birthday anyway!)

Exactly. There is way too much BS floating around in these discussions, particularly in the media

I think it is pretty obvious why, considering the first declared candidate's intentions were well known well-in-advance of him declaring. If he hadn't flamed so badly he'd likely be the NDP candidate in Davenport for Oct 2011.

So then why are we only talking about denying Muslims in this thread?

Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding! So funny you should mention that, sounds to me like the three Mormon wars - yup, three of them, on US soil no less - the Mormons have been at war with the United States in the past in part to attempt to create a...

Yup, that's exactly my point. This is the only one the media is talking about, when they could easily find many many other instances of the use of school facilities for religious accommodation.

I personally think all religions are nuts but if you think Islam is bad you ain't heard nothin' yet, go check out the Mormons. Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes

No, sorry but it is. It's been a good 15-plus years since I was in school but in my public high school there were a boatload of accommodations for numerous groups, including the religious. Our Christian association held separate morning prayers (for which all of the participants were late to...

Oh, I totally think the driver should be severely reprimanded for his response. He escalated the situated and was totally out of line. Personally, I think how he responded is a much bigger infraction than a lot of these TTC driver incidents we've seen lately. But as for the woman, and the...

Sorry, my point wasn't clear. I was being a little obtuse just for the fun of it and it rightfully went wooosh! I just think it is funny for us to criticize people for coming here with a set of values they don't want to change. Because that is the history of 'western' civilization in this...

Me too. I've always been surprised by how decent a lot of the blue-line drivers are with some of the crazies. That's a tough job. In this case, the driver totally overreacted and shouldn't have responded. But this passenger is, quite frankly, a moron - 1, for asking something totally...

Why? This is what people have been doing since the first settlers came to this area of the world in the 1600s. Why was it ok up til now, but apparently now a problem for Mulism kids who want to pray on a friday? These are kids going to public school. Public school is the most...
