(13,955 posts)Unfortunately, when Alvertans come to Florida, many of them act like they are hard right. I remember people getting culture shock when the Flames played the Lightning for the Stanley Cup, as thevisitors seemed very different from the French Canadiens and Ontario types we knew, for both good and bad. The talk we heard over Beer and Coffee was stuff like "No one really speaks French!" and "we hate the Toronto RED star" and "Ottawa just takes our money!" other stuff that seemed to indicate they would gladly saw off Ontario and all points East and let it float to France. The election of Harper led me to wonder if Canada caught the Right wing fever. So, it is good to see that someone up in "Texas North" is on the left side.
I also cannot imagine BC would be thrilled, especially as most have said the Olympics were NOT worth the cost, in money or ecological damage.
As far a resources, let's me honest, the corporations are trying to replaced the middle class in North America with the Chinese, as they are hungry, thirsty, greedy, and willing to do anything for money; they are the ideal that they have been trying to condition us into being. And when I say North America, i do mean North America, as even MEXICO is losing jobs to China. When I argue with my "conservative" relatives, and the Ron Paul cultists, I point out that if MEXICAN wages are too HIGH to prevent being Outsource3d to China,what will that mean when there is no longer a minum wage?
