JensenPark Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/11/26/pol-finance-minister-flaherty-ppp.html The colonials are coming to help out the Mother country again. You are very fortunate...Mark Carney is an absolute brain. If anyone can help drag you out of recession and keep you out it it is him. He'll stay out of politics and run the bank for the betterment of the UK as a whole...and for the long term. And, btw, he grew up and went to school here in Edmonton close to where I live. Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted November 27, 2012 2. Administrators Posted November 27, 2012 soon as i read the news yesterday i knew you'd have something to say on this! all the press has been pretty positive on his appointment, wonder if he knows what he's signed up for! Quote
JensenPark Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 You gain is our loss. I see the Pound went up and our dollar went down once it was announced. You'll see him come back to Canada one day as our Prime Minister. Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 it's kind of ironic his British wife is a complete anti-capitalist, hemp shoe wearing militant......so I've heard. Quote
JensenPark Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 yeah, a real wing nut. Born and raised in the UK though. Might explain it. Quote

JensenPark Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 we share the same haircut and jowl line... Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted November 30, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted November 30, 2012 ~S~ Jason Perk, Does "jowl" mean the same in Canadia as it does in Engerrrland M8 ?? I bloody well hope so. ~S~ Pointless. Quote
JensenPark Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 you'll also note that a Canadian runs the Royal Mail, Canary Wharf, Selfridges, Heathrow Airport, Vue Entertainment and HSBC Holdings. And here you thought all of us Canucks coming over during the war was to help. We were there to set up a beach head. We are just not in that much of a hurry to take over. You can try to escape our control by a ticket for the National Lottery or taking the high-speed rail line to France, but Cdn companies own those. Bwu ha ha. (and as soon as we can find a spare 5 quid note, we're buying Painless as well). Quote

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted December 3, 2012 2. Administrators Posted December 3, 2012 Frankly, i couldn't give a damn if they come from Timbuktu, if they're the best person for the job....................... even if they were French........ Joking aside, we live in a global world these days after all. However, i pity the Canadian in charge of Royal Mail, the last bastion of unions in the UK (what, work five days a week, no we're going on strike......). Quote
JensenPark Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 our posties here are just as bad. they get paid 8 hours to do their route...and often take just 2 or 3 hours. Quote
