Davpal, I sure appreciate that clueless jab, but that's okay - you won't get me down on this one. I'll educate you instead. Canada is viewed by some of our southern neighbours as a socialist country. Whatever. After losing your job here, you can apply for 'social assistance' called Employment Insurance. All employees pay into this while working. I paid high federal and provincial taxes for 8 years, and then I got 'some' help - I had to cover 40% of everything (tuition, books, room & board 200 miles away from home). I worked each summer between '07-10, and had 2 autumn contracts as well - you don't get gov't help when you're working. When my wife wasn't nursing babies she was teaching full time. And you know what? The government allowed her a year off with each child AND paid her the equivalent of what I was getting for employment insurance! Isn't that notion just crazy?! Helping repopulate our great country instead of relying on immigration from far away countries that support terrorism. :shock: Here's another example of where all my tax dollars go (when I'm not draining it all myself): healthcare. When my mom had both her knees replaced a few years back there was no bill at the end. Nothing. What would 2 knees cost you, Davpal? Do we get taxed a lot in Canada? Sure. Am I looked after in a time of need? You bet. And now that I'm retrained, off the temporary work contracts and employed full time with benefits, I'll be making what I think is very good money. The government has a good tax base in me again, and the cycle continues. Call it socialist if you must, or call me a welfare case but it's not that simple. If you still think my country is worse off for helping me get retrained so they can tax me heavily again, then you need some economic classes.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
