@jjss: Excellent find! So many great lines, but I think this one is my favourite:

With more than 15,000 members, it's the largest military presence seen in western Canada since the end of the second world war, an appropriate measure only if one imagines al-Qaida are set to descend from the slopes on C2-strapped snowboards.

@Dave:

"I have a feeling that inflation is over your head. Mortgages don’t go up with inflation. They go down in nominal terms. Houses prices can drop in real terms and an owner can still be ahead in nominal terms, which is all that matters."

Wow, you really don't understand the difference between real and nominal prices, do you, Dave? No, with inflation mortgages go down in real terms, which is one of the benefits of paying off a mortgage during periods of high inflation.

@rp: I took a dump tonight and noticed that there was more useful information written on my turd than in yesterdays' Sun. Whoever says newspapers don't know shit might be on to something! No self respecting dead fish would be caught dead wrapped in the Sun!

@patriotz: You forgot to add China and India to the list. Anybody who thinks that real wages will increase is delusional. In fact, real wages in the manufacturing sector have not increased in North America since the early 1970s.
