The US electoral system is just bizarre. How much money, visits, attention has poured into Iowa for the first caucus? I should open a TV station there as they must get boatloads of money every 4 years. Clearly the plan is try to get off to a good start by winning Iowa but all this attention leading up to the caucus vote is completely forgotten when Super Tuesday comes and really establishes who is in the running for the leadership.
Is Iowa part of the bible belt because this has to be the only reason Santourum and Huckabee keep trying to become President?
New Liberal tax hike could affect star athletes signing with Canadian based teams:

Don't worry, it's socialism though, maybe they'll understand if Count explains to them how worth it it will be to pay higher taxes.

Hottest first lady ever in North America?
Surely you aren't saying govt should consider how athletes like tax proposals.

I worry more about doctors leaving for the States...we already have a problem with lack of physicians, now this might make it worst.
Basically, med students get an almost free education here, and then they can choose to leave (well it's not as simple as that, but you get the idea)

Didn't you want the NDP to win?
You are so bitter about this election and the majority will of the country. Move on our move away.

This quote contradicts what many on here have said for a long time - re: there are many loopholes in Canada to help get athletes around paying high taxes...

39% of the popular vote is not the will of a majority despite translating into the majority of seats.
that is true but when there are five parties, that is about as high as you can get

regardless....
my correction stands, it is no majority and let's not BS the uninformed about it.

question though, did you take the same view when Harper won with the same amount and rammed his C51 and other crap down our throats?
That's right, only liberals are allowed to criticize or complain about the government.

what a dumb question, David.
so answer is no?
not at all, but I would not expect a government to determine policy based on whether big name athletes will sign with a pro team in Canada or not
