The difference, East , west

[furrowtickler]

Canada is a great country but ...
it comes down to what's happening right now , and part of many threads ...
The "silver spoons" in Eastern , or should I say central Canada think it's their birthright to take from others .
The "workers" out west just want to keep their fair share of what they work so hard for .
Does that sum it up ??

And the government is just the "tool" to accomplish this.

If you want to talk about Canada and who the workers are:
Canada @19 million workforce
Ontario/Quecbec workforce 12 million
the Prairie provinces workforce 3.6 million (AB, SK and MB combined -2.4 of that in AB)
so less than 1 in 5 of Canada's workforce is located in the prairies which should shatter any illusions that we do all the work for the country.

Go back to Scotland you Useless Twit.

Yes math is true we have Less in Western Canada.

But since confederation the West has fed the East.

Read the history books and see who controls canada. Its the East over the west.

We send money East they send programs west.

Grass your useless twit of a Pm is doing exactly what his useless father did years ago.

[grassfarmer]

We send money East they send programs west.

Yep, typical Government - they take money in, they pay it back out. Glad to see you recognizing Government spending in the west.

[SASKFARMER3]

No i said they give us programs. Its not spending its useless programs with all the paper pushers in East and dribbling money out west.

Grass give it up your idiot is destroying this country just like his father did.

By silver spoons , I means the likes of JT , you know the people who never really work . Not the average joe worker as you pointed out . Obviously that's not the case but spin it any way you wish grass .
This is aimed up best by JT and his buddy right now. Thus the silver spoons from Cemtral Canada .

Not again. Another giant whining match about the east. Tiresome at best. As if the only guys who actually work hard, contribute to the country, and pay taxes live in western Canada?
We know you don't like the current leader. But continually making that the issue?
Give everybody a break and move on to something of substance.

Ok Chuck2 you won't answer my question on nitrogen trifluoride emissions from solar maybe you will answer this question. The Liberal government is looking for revenue, why attack business with a proposal that is essentially class warfare for a meagre $250-500 million when you could raise the GST one point and bring in $6 billion? Please explain.

Wow Chuck and grass. You guys have so little clue it's scary.

New Brunswick: $43,831


A worker in western Canada is worth twice as much as a worker in eastern Canada. It's been that way since confederation.

What I don't understand is why somebody who never studied Canadian history or politics or culture is arguing these points, eh grass?

If anybody has the cartoon from te 1920s of the cow of Canada with the west feeding and central Canada milking... Post it I'll post the story that went with it. Haha
