  1. anyone know how much MP's make? In the late 80's, they used to make $96,000 a year, when houses were around $40-50,000. My friend's dad was elected in his riding about then....his mom phoned on orientation night and said "Never mind the salary!! You should see the PERKS we get!!"

  2. those protesters are making too much noise. Trudeau should declare the Emergency Act. Actually, i think Japan sets the best example...not only are their students better, but it's the students who clean the classrooms and the halls. ONe custodian supervises, or deals with very severe problems. It teaches the kids that they're not better than everyone else. Teachers make a BUNDLE.....more than most in the private sector.

  4.  @michaelp4122  I'd heard that since Trudeau begged us to not ask for raises because of covid, MP's have given themselves THREE raises! Thanks for the info!! All the best to you!

  5.  @SCVM__  i thought so. It seems to be the thing to do these days, especially in the USA. Pelosi keeps blocking legislation that will prevent this. All the best to you!

  6. if you want to help the climate, stop all these doofus conferences and kick the govt and elites out of their private jets and super yachts and large SUV's. Problem solved. Oh and limit the amount of electricity that mansions can use to that of a normal house. Problem definitely solved.

  7. It's a strike. Each striker is supposed to pay $4,000 a day. Trudeau, they're making a LOT of noise....you're supposed to use the Emergencies Act to arrest them

  8. Iran probably bought the drones from the Taliban....who got them when the Americans left Afghanistan.
