2-in the end everything returns to its long term median price values always.

4. We also get pillaged for all our money in good times via transfer payments.
We probably still won’t get anything this year.

8…….conclusion that everybody running the economic show are incompetent.

10.”A house in fact is a consumption item”

12-Bidding wars on houses- labor-land-head of cabbage.

14-Sounds like a Liberal in Conservative clothes. “politicians have forgotten that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS … emphasis on the SERVANT”.
My comment: Electors have forgotten to elect LAW MAKERS. Elected officials appoint wiser law makers to the Senate “ Demers -popular illiterate”??

23.” We need fewer economists and lawyers in government” People who can actually make a plan without the incessant need for costly studies and statistical data that merely complicate the obvious and delay the solution. My comment: Great solution, we could reduce # of elected officials to 15 and 95% of Public Servants, burn the current laws, eliminate the debt and balance the budget over night.

34.I may be a Vulture but I am sure not a masochist! Deserves a bravery medal.

76- My I’m verbal today.( yes,yes, My kind of person -still no tree cut today)

154-..referred to me as “You guys”??? I’ve lived in Calgary…(I thought that expression was mostly used in “Sask.” but remembered that it was “You’se guys”)

Garth, with a group of friends & relatives, we all share our own favorite reads with this type of “critique” In some cases in the past I needed to recommend

Torquemada – You need to learn to read.. obviously you didn’t bother to read my comment. You overlooked that I’d mentioned a cousin’s husband, was the Premier, responsible for negotiating that into the constitution.

As I said above, “Ironically enough, he’s the very fellow who successfully negotiated the long-sought transfer of the control of provincial natural resources from the federal to the provincial government.”

That’s what my comment addressed and I’m not sure of your motive for cherry picking out-of-context lines. Brownlee’s was sort of wrong-headed, short term, greedy thinking, instead of wise, long term thinking, planning and saving for the betterment of the country,that is exactly what got us into this mess.
