Point is our country is not sparling down hill, not even close. It was in the last few years we can agree there. Dollar going up is a direct result of investing so I really don't know what you are saying Dollar going up? You do understand that the value of canadian dollar is dropping right? current $1 USD = $1.35 CAD. Since JT has been in power our dollar has dropped in value. Harper $1.24cad to 1usd trudeau 1.35cad to 1usd. so dollar is down. I convert US prices to CAD for our products daily Fail. It costs us more to buy us goods then before trudeau. How is that going up?

revrnd Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 The only businesses that a lower CDN dollar helps is exporters when they ship products to the US. On the flip side it's more expensive for those same companies to buy equipment priced in US bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he act that he is smarter than all the other world leaders & figure that Canada has to take a leading role in all the world's ills? In the big picture we're insignificant.

After his multi billion dollar piss away to solve climate change in the 3rd world (I wonder how many G Wagens, Escalades & Range Rovers will be bought w/ that money?) the Canadian media told us that this was putting Canada out front in the world's eyes. Well I Googled a few of the international papers & there was nary a mention of "Canada's" largesse. The only result was a mention in a Sydney Australia newspaper about how Aussies that had Canadian friends or relatives thought it was great that Canada had elected such a cool person as PM.

Canada Post suspended its transition away from door-to-door delivery in October 2015 after the Liberals won the federal vote, but it has not been restored to those who have already had their services moved to community mailboxes.

02sled Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 So the stupidity of government spending continues. Truedope and the rest of those in charge of the public purse need to read a book The Art of the Deal and negotiate much better than they do today. It seems that the current budget cost to renovate 24 Sussex good enough for Truedope and his spoiled family is pegged at $38M. Not to build net new but to renovate. You just know if the budget is $38M that is only a fraction of what the final cost will be. Have you ever known a government project to come in on or under budget. Pan Am Games, the commuter train from downtown to Pearson, anything? To build a very high end luxury home is about $1200.00 a sq. ft. The $38M for renovations is a paltry $6000.00 a sq. ft. Don't forget Truedope claims to be in touch with the needs of and represent the average Canadian. The report says there is also a proposal to spend $11.99 million to erect a new building on the site, replacing a pool house built for Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1975. It says the existing pool house would be demolished and replaced by new living quarters for the current prime minister and his family, leaving the existing residence to accommodate state and support functions. And while it figures out what to do with 24 Sussex Drive, the government is paying tens of thousands of dollars every month just to maintain the now-vacant property – including more than $10,000 a month on hydro – the National Post has learned. For the month of December 2015, for example, with no one living at the 151-year-old home, the total maintenance bill for 24 Sussex was more than $50,000, according to documents released to the Post using federal access-to-information laws. How can hydro cost $10,000.00 a month for a vacant house even in Ontario. Maybe Truedope should call Wynnebag and challenge the hydro bill.

Too bad you guys had zero interest in posting about our PM over the past 8 years it would have been interesting Your foolishness continues as strong as ever. Our past PM was living in the house that isn't good enough for Truedope. I along with a lot of other people would and should question the wisdom in renovations that would be 4 times the assessed value of the house and total $38M which would probably based on government ineptitude end up at $76M. Who do you think is providing direction on what HE wants done to the house. Are you naïve enough to think for even one second it's anybody other than Truedope himself that has prompted and directing the need for the renovations and that HE wants to demolish the pool house his dad had built and put up a new residence for him and his family along with the two nannies? The hydro factor just comes back to more Liberal incompetence be it federal or provincial. In this case Wynnebags. Another prime example. Owen Sound. The city has a hydro bill of $10,000.00 for $442.00 of electricity http://www.owensoundsuntimes.com/2016/11/23/442-in-power-results-in-10000-bill-for-city For 13 streetlight accounts – the city has about 80, Becking noted – the city consumed $442 in electricity in a one-month period. However, the total bill was $10,159.59. Nearly $5,000 of that cost was for delivery fees, he said, while $4,360 was for “global adjustment,” which Hydro One says is the cost for providing both adequate generating capacity and conservation programs for Ontario.

This happens when you let things go and don't fix them in a timely fashion, Mean Steve knew the place as in very poor condition and did nothing. On May 6, 2008, the Auditor General had reported that the house is in poor condition and needs about $10 million in repairs and upgrades, which would require at least 12 to 15 months of "full access" to complete.In October 2015 Or maybe should have listened to Joe's wife Maureen McTeer, wife of former Prime Minister Joe Clark, said the building is "completely lacking" in architectural value and is not worth saving.[19] The idea of removing part of the structure and replacing it with a modern section has also been proposed The longer you wait the more it will cost and that is a fact, fucking window shakers are still the AC Nothing has been done to the main house since 1950 1/2 million dollars is pretty huge in those days. Now a 4000sqft home in Toronto is 4 million dollars but ya bad all bad, either way it won't affect me if they do it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
