Right now, Federal Governmenthas a project for R&D spending. I am wondering if those guys salaries are part of the project.

In general, more and more Canadians give up in voting. A lot of them go to states, studying or working. I know you came back from States. But a lot of them would not. It's a sad fact. But considering average 20k student loan, high tax and high unemployment rate of youth, it is not a bad solution to go south.

You know the birth rate in Canada is very low(1.6) comparing to states(2.8) partially because young couple is harder to establish in this country now. I bet government knows all of the problems, but they are too busy in patronizing those who donate the funding for them. They are also very dedicated to the politics. As how to make Canada better, in my eyes, it's more like a slogan for them. At least that is how Jean Chretien's governement is playing.

  • 枫下茶话 / 社会 / 新开个话题:加拿大会崛起吗?
    美国崛起时,有3000万人口。现在加拿大接近3000万人口。你认为加拿大会崛起吗?借此给准备移民来的朋友做各参考。
    Mantou认为有可能,但前提是减税,削减政府机构,鼓励投资。
    • no problem. but 问题是加拿大经济好转时你多大了和你在干什么.
      • 这是个长远的事。有关移民为啥?就个人而言,也许在国内折腾更好。记住,第一代移民绝非为享福而来。
        • 看你是没信心问自己这个问题, 另外 想不想和做不做的到是两回事. 还有你做不到不说明别人也做不到.
          • 其实我倒是享了福,洋房,汽车,等等。只是想,“我们或是后代有无机会干的像目前在国内的同事的哪般轰轰烈烈?”
            • 我不懂经济,所以总是不明白,你说国内那么多人发财,钱都是哪里来的?社会生产力并没有突然的飞跃,社会财富也并没有突然的丰富,为什么人就发起来了呢?
              • 靠美国,加拿大商场里的便宜中国货一块一块挣的呗! 加上中国人多,不就“积沙成塔”了。
                想想加拿大的中等城市6-7万人,中国中等城市6-7百万人,就能看到商机的差距。这就是为啥我会从人口数量上引出话题?毛泽东说过“只要有了人,什么人间奇迹都能创造出来”。用在此时此地,也许合适。
                • 如果你看一下4层楼500个包箱6星级装修, 同时7500人用餐, 每晚还要提前一天预订,你就知道最近国内经济发展还行, 人多是一点, 关键的是大家都有钱了.
                  • 说的是哪里?
                    • nanjin
              • ?
            • 快回来看看吧, 国内现在最热的是买房和买车, 我刚买的房还带个车库,明年就买车了. 想想当年不撤移民申请, 这会儿差不多那到LP了. 那样的话, 也是明年买车, 可房子就不一定了.
        • 我非常认同你“第一代移民绝非为享福而来”的说法,如果你有钱想享福的在那里都可以享,不一定要到加拿大,但是你没有钱或者没有太多的钱,就要考虑其他的因素。
    • 前提:让保守党或者canadian ailliance 执政
      • Though stockwellday stepped down, it is still scary when you think about Alliance. I can imagine how messy it will be if Harper become the PM:)
        • 那就clark吧。
          • He is too honest to be an PM :(. Plus he is going to be retired. My point is, and always will be, we don't need federal government. They only spend money for nothing :)
            • 你的主张和保守党的很一致吗。
              • I guess more close to block quebec :) . Just kidding. It's kind of sad to see there is no leadership in this country.
                • 我觉得加拿大如果想有个大的飞跃就得舍弃自由党。如果希望保持现状、微小的进步、稳定的福利,那就支持自由党。而实际上大多数人赞成保持现状,这就是加拿大的民意,没招。
                  • Here is what I understand how educated canadian do. They just don't vote and then leave the country.
                    This liberal government is a little bit unusual because a lot of its policy is more close to conservative instead of spending big time. Another problem is corruotion of this governent. I don't find Liberal that bad. But I do want Jean Chretien step down earlier than 2004. If he step down, a new Cabinet have to be formed and we may get to see some fresh policy.
                    • Not exactly. Many other well educated people just like this system. They move from the rest of the world to Canada for peaceful life.
                      For instance, the famous Prof. Cook at CS dept of UT moved from US. The No. 1 guy in telecommunication industry Prof. Simon Haykin at McMaster moved from UK. The previous Dean of Harvard Medical School come to teach at UT too.

                  • 怕的就是这种“保持现状、微小的进步、稳定的福利”。如果这样,难谈崛起。
        • 还是PAUL MARTIN吧, 最好他加入TORIES.
          • Paul Martin is kind of scary too. he lied a lot of stuff while he was financial minister regarding to canadian dollar. He may think ordinary canadians are dumb to believe anything he says.
            • i think they are better than Jr Bush
      • CA执政不好, 我们会象美国华人一样成政界的替罪羊.
    • 应该贴在幽默论坛去
    • Yes. she can... by raising more tax. The tax level of Canada is definitely going to 崛起 in western countries. Jean Chretien just said Canadian is ready to pay for Health Care :(
