Yet you will take yours at 65 while telling others to wait so you can have it longer.
YUP that is what a douche does.
More stupidity from the village idiot. Maybe if your bromance lover Trudope didn't give $B's away to the rest of the world that money could go into OAS.
14 hours ago, 1trailmaker said:well you are correct at the end you will not see a difference, just more debt like always.
65 is retirement age lets just keep it there. CPP comes in at 60 if you wanted to collect even while working.
Yeah... and you get less at 60 than you do if you wait until 65 or 70. The break even point for most people is 75. At 75 you will have collected the same amount starting at 60 as you would had you started at 65. If you start at 60 and invest that money rather than spend it the ROI makes the break even point much closer to 79/80. Given that life expectancy for the average male is 80 it makes sense to collect at 60 rather than later. Especially considering when you die all the money you put into the system is forfeit.
Personally I would have preferred to have been able to opt out of CPP contributions all my life and put the same amount into investments of my own. I would be much further ahead and whatever funds would be left when I die would go to family rather than the government.

I disagree that you think a 40 year old today is failing somehow.... They have done just fine with their failing results of 1998
Sorry to tell you there are plenty of successful people here that age. You are wrong and just gong with what DOUG 5 years to ger grade12 tells you
Math results are the same from your era or better, MATH has always been an issue.
More from the overactive imagination of Fail... back it up with something credible other than you say so.
When I was in school we couldn't use calculators. At that time only a very few could afford one of the Scientific American portables that were if I recall about $400. In university when pocket calculators had become much more common they weren't allowed in exams. Everything was done in on paper and in your head. Now try and tell me again how those that rely on calculators are as good at math as they were 40 years ago.

You keep moving the goalposts and aren't addressing the real issue. My son, and the majority of the students in the other classes that had the same teacher weren't the stupid ones, it was the teacher that was stupid and incompetent, in case you missed that earlier?
With your spelling and grammar skills, I can understand why you don't think there is a problem with some teachers.
Another case of they didn't get Fails memo telling them the Fail reality. Just one more to add to the very long list of people with expertise he says are just wrong.
13 hours ago, irv said:I agree, to an extent, but it's a start in the right direction in my opinion, and like I said earlier, I hope this goes deeper.
On paper, sure, but not much after that if all the driving testers just pass everyone no matter how shitty they drive. When I got my license, the instructor/tester made me do everything. Parallel park, 3 way turn, out on the hwy, you name it, I did it. In my opinion, the lady, who was a bitch, btw, was hoping to fail me. Today, the testers, who don't hardly make any potential drivers do any of those things, hope you at least do one thing right so they can pass you. You must be blind or don't drive at all if you think we haven't gone backwards when it comes to driving standards nowadays.
When I got my license it was done at a testing centre at Keele & Hwy 401. You did the eye test and the written test. If you passed that then you went to the course beside the building. If you were able to navigate that then they took you out on the road. Like you I had to do the same, parallel park, 3 way turn, make sure I did everything right like signalling, no rolling stops, checking mirrors etc.
One of my friends didn't get his license the first time and had to go back. He made one mistake the examiner thought was significant.

I won't pay the extra 10 for delivery. Canada Post only loses 1 of every 1000 items that are sent to my house. lol
My problem is that it was mailed out in Barrie, I live in Barrie. I believe it goes to Mississauga then comes back to Barrie. I get bills in a day or two sent from T.O. but takes a week or more for stuff sent from Barrie to get to me.
The Gateway sorting plant in Mississauga was hit with at least 2 days of the rotating strikes.

Grade 3 math is adding and subtracting stop making this about subjects that are not included in this topic
Grade 6 is dealing with fractions not calculus
Grade 9 is algebra not physics
I am sure even you know this
As for me Math was my subject of greatness in school and post - its simple to me, and yet I have forgotten lots......
and the answer is 32
not sure how you can get a degree in anything without the basic concepts of Math
When nothing changes will you blame Trudeau or Wynne
I suggest helping students learn instead of seeing what a teach knows.
Waste of fucking time and really an attack on Teacher with zero results for the students.
The Blame game is something the RIGHT Is very good at - Harris blamed the Teachers and made a test that almost half fail year after year - fire the teachers.
As a parent, when your child is failing its easier to blame the Teacher instead of looking at the problem. The OneWay Conservative way of thinking
Your stupidity continues to be boundless. What I stated is that you will never be able to comprehend the higher mathematics without a SOLID competency of the fundamental mathematics. The system is failing these kids and not giving them a solid base to build upon.
BS math was your subject of greatness. The objective is to filter out teachers who don't have the skills themselves that they are supposed to pass on to the students. It's not an attack on teachers. It's just tightening the qualifications for those entering teaching.

so how is cutting 2 years stopping longer payments
We live longer than just 2 more years
Harper's big mistake was this, he lost old time votes due to it.
I hope to collect at 65 like everyone else did.............................
Your lack of simple math continues to shine through. Most people live to 65. Holding back on the funds that get paid out at 65 provides the funds to ensure they can continue to pay those that live into their 80's and 90's. The number of people living longer is growing significantly year over year. The average for men is 80 and women 84.
The life expectancy at birth for men has increased by 20.5 years, from 58.8 years in 1922 to 79.3 years in 2011. During the same period, the life expectancy of women increased by 23.0 years, from 60.6 years to 83.6 years.
The plan would be unsustainable without changes. Get your calculator out and maybe just maybe you can figure that out.

but this DOUG test will cure this - Doug said so
we are talking grade 3 and 6 adding and subtraction. you idea that a teacher can't do thus is funny, just like uninformed Doug.
Grade 9 is the last testing for math so high school isn't an issue I guess
No doubt your friends to quote you are pitiful and lousy skill sets
Oh so pitiful a grasp at straws Fail. First my wife's friend is a teacher who began her career when you actually needed these skills. She is one of those that will be retiring in the next couple of years.
Too bad you just don't grasp the concepts but that's not surprising. You need to master the basic skills in order to be able to learn the advanced mathematics. Without the foundational education you could never comprehend algebra, calculus or trigonometry. Something tells me that the bar will be set higher than addition and subtraction for a teacher.
Making sure the teachers have strong math skills, not poor or mediocre is a beginning. This will get passed on to the students over the coming years.
My money says you are one of those that can't figure out what 40% of 80 is without a calculator.
58 minutes ago, 1trailmaker said:most education up to post secondary isn't worth much.
Like asking for grade 12 for a job qualification - if they got 50% its all good
If you got grade 11 but 90% you are a failure and can't get that job.
Too much being judged by Mike Harris's test - I believe there are plenty of grads that are well into there 30's are doing just fine with their lousy scores in 1998
School is to teach you much more than the basic skills. High school prepares you for university. University teaches you how to think logically and analytically as well as instills a sense of discipline. At least it should. When you finish that education it tells your employer you have the ability to learn. Then they teach you more on the job.

Yeah best economy in decades, most employed in 50 years - horrible I say
So a person that can pass a simple math test is now a great teacher? you are simple if that is the case
How this improves your kids spelling is beyond me.
What is funny is everyone here thinks they are great at MATH - how is that possible when math scores have been very low forever
When I voted for Harper (twice) he was doing well, then he switched to sending the message of fear, he lost my vote.
With the exception of you I would say we are all far better at math than the kids of today. Myself... 3 maths and 3 sciences for grade 13.
No you have to be a good teacher too. But you can't teach what you don't know. Kind of like the blind leading the blind. I had a horrible math teacher in grade 10. Not because he didn't know math but because he was so dull, monotone and spoke so slow everyone was put to sleep. He would have been a lousy teacher no matter what the subject.
10 minutes ago, irv said:Answer the question, Trail. Do you want competent and able teachers teaching your kids or will any dingbat do?
These same teachers who are teaching nowadays got in all due to the Liberals lowering the standards. The same way they lowered the standards for driving tests and a host of other things. They cared more about the LGBT community than anything else and were too incompetent to see that having bad/poor teachers teaching our youth wasn't a good idea.
What is your vocation, btw?
One of my wife's friends is a teacher. We recently had dinner with her and her husband. She was telling us about the student teachers she has had coming to work in the classroom with her. Their attitudes are pitiful and their skills are lousy.
Having potential teachers pass a math test will at least make sure they are competent with the material they are to teach.

so testing the teachers now will make students smarter
okay that was easy
Math marks have been bad since the beginning of tme, not the test being brought in, FACT IS THE TEST FAILED TO HELP ONE STUDENT - this is the real issue so lets do it again, test someone else that will make it better
and the sheep go baa bbbaaaa
I guess your definition of the beginning of time and mine are distinctly different. In my high school days everyone I knew could do math in their head like what is 40% of 80 without having to think about it. Today.... go to a store and the bill is $18.39. Give them a $20 bill. They enter $20 in the register then give them an extra $0.50. They look at you and say you gave them too much money and have no idea what to do with the $0.50.
Kind of shows how bad their math is doesn't it. Ooops... forgot who I'm taking to about math. That would stump you too.

The only subject I ever failed was grade 6 music and there was no fucking way I was singing, so the teacher caught me just moving my lips. Get rid of that useless program too.
My music teacher told me the only way I could carry a tune was in a bucket. He was right.

I recall reading some time ago about a scammer who had some success unloading his TV's. Problem is they were all defective and none of them worked. He was caught but not until after he took a number of people.

50% are failing all tests from the government from DAY ONE - tell me its the teachers that is the problem
You assumption a teacher doesn't know how to add or subtract is really showing your ONEWAYness - pathetic
What about science? English? art? music? test them all as their degree means zero now
bbaa bbaa bba Doug has spoken, Teachers bad
Way too many of them have real life useless degrees. Yes they have been scoring poorly in math since the standardized tests were brought in. The purpose was to highlight how poorly the students were doing and to set a benchmark to measure against for improvement or lack thereof. So far the education system has been failing the students since their test performance has not improved. Doug wants to fix that.... about time someone paid attention. Ask a student today what 40% of 80 is and see what they do. Without hesitation my generation would tell you the answer from their head. Today they will pull out the calculator.

Hey sheep Doug is not helping students
he is making sure a teacher can add - what a waste of a blue suit Doug is.
So testing students didn't help
now test the teachers will improve students marks
The very idea that This is because Teachers can't add is simply stupid
Really is there anything you guys won't buy from sloganman
Your stupidity shines through as usual.... You have a problem with the teachers being expected to be competent in mathematics. Only you could dumb that down to teachers being able to add. I know math is one of your weakest points so you couldn't possibly become a teacher. Thank god for that.
37 minutes ago, 1trailmaker said:Like I said we can talk when the new results are in.....
Mike Harris solved this math issue with his test the students, oh wait that failed so now DOUG Is here to save the day
TEST THE TEACHERS because a degree isn't good enough for DOUG's level of education
Why shouldn't a MPP past a test on economics, public speaking, and other skills needed
Not sure how a person with grade 12 is qualified to direct education
You guys all praise Doug as the ONE AND ONLY SAVOUR yet he is dumb and couldn't pass a math test himself, FACT HE DROPPED MATH IN GRADE 11
There are TEACHERS THAT ARE NOT GOOD AT TEACHING this will never change in any work force of 10's of thousands
The testing of students is what identified that the students aren't learning the skills they should to the levels they should. Geez... students in Kazakhstan have better math skills. Now you expect a teacher to teach something they don't know themselves.
It's time you take a remedial math course and pass it since you are supposedly spending taxpayer money and can't do basic math.

Actually you probably saw it but it doesn't fit your one way agenda so as usual you choose to ignore it.
The government is asking for feedback on science/technology/engineering and math (STEM), the skilled trades, EQAO/standardized testing and whether or not cellphones should be used in classrooms, as well as “building a new age-appropriate health and physical education curriculum that includes subjects like mental health, sexual health education and the legalization of cannabis.”

Its all good to have a sense of humour, but did you call that "The blind leading the blind".
It was amazing the things Harry was able to do. He came to work with his dog Huey and his computer talked to him through head phones. I think the fact he was fully sighted most of his life and did so many things before he lost his eye sight enabled him to do so much after he lost it.
Here's an article on Harry and his black belt in Karate
https://athletics.uwaterloo.ca/news/2012/6/5/CR_0605121911.aspx
An international celebration of martial arts took place at the University of Waterloo from May 25 to 27 at the Columbia Icefields. Hosted by the Yudansha Kobujitsu Karate-doh Federation and the University of Waterloo Karate Club, the weekend treated over 150 participants to lessons by esteemed instructors from Italy, France, England, and Canada.
The lessons covered a broad range of martial arts topics, including Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate, Ju Jitsu, Kung Fu, and martial arts philosophy. Martial arts is more than physical techniques; it has deep roots in spirituality and philosophy, which participants learned about during the event.
The weekend demonstrated that martial arts is accessible to everyone, from old to young and even the disabled. Participants were inspired to learn from Shihan Harry Titus, one of the world's highest ranking blind karate black belts, and to work with wheelchair users.And a link to him playing golf

Please provide the proof the Conservatives left wonderboy a 18.5 billion deficit?
Everyone knows Trudeaus election promises added up to way over the $9billion he projected. In typical fashion he blames the Conservatives yet he has done nothing to lower the deficit.
Why is that?
Why if Trudeau is a prudent fiscal manager has he not lowered the deficit or made any progress to eliminating the deficit yearly?
Because he's too busy giving away $B's to the rest of the world. Who cares where the money comes from that he gives away. I for one don't support my money going to try and get Apu to stop cooking his dinner over a fire in his hut.

Minimum wage was never supposed to be a livable wage, more like a get off your ass and learn something or you'll be stuck in this dead end for the rest of your life. It's actually a very good motivator.
What are the pay and Beenies like at FailDock? Can I work there for a day, claim a bogus back injury and put in a WSIB claim?
Not if they are selling outside of Canada they won't.
Before 2008, the recession before was in 1991 so more than 15 years apart. Nobody knows when the next one is coming and not really much one can do other than have strong financials going into it. Purging the weak every once in a while and rebuilding stronger can be healthy.
There are lots that lack motivation. Those that choose to live on welfare all their life and those that work minimum wage all their life. They have a roof over their head, enough for beer and they are happy. Then you have those that want more out of life. In my much younger days I worked stocking shelves in a grocery store and a very short stint in a Canadian Tire store. I knew then I wanted more out of life than that income would provide.
I worked my tail off while going to university to pay the bills so I could have more.

I don't drive my truck as much as I used to when I drove to work every day. Trudopes added tax on the gas would have cost me $93 more so far this year. Then there's the increased costs that will be passed on to the consumer for everything including gas. The refineries will be paying more, the cost of delivery to the station will be more. The cost of groceries, everything will be more.
Add in cost for gas for the boats, the sleds and my wife's vehicle.... we will be in the hole.

Gotta love it when you're at a conference waiting for your space to be set up. A guy comes by with the table and chairs and you don't have the carpet yet. You ask about the carpet and get told that's somebody else's job. Finally the guys show up with the carpet and roll it out. You're paying a shit load of $'s so you ask him about setting up the folding table and chairs now that the carpet is down.... sorry that's the other guys job. He'll have to come back and do that. Rather than wait you do it yourself in the minute and a half it takes. You ask where your boxes of materials are.... that's somebody else's job.
Just before I retired we had a contract for IT services with a Canadian aircraft builder. Their assembly area is huge and it's a very long walk from one end to the other. They have golf carts in use in that area. We wanted to acquire a golf cart at our expense for our IT people to get around, including delivering hardware providing quicker service.
The response.... sorry.... only union members with a operating a golf cart in their job description were allowed to operate a golf cart. Absolutely nobody else.
