Being against the northern gateway pipeline is not hypocrisy. To paint it as such is just rhetoric. Actual hypocrisy is expecting others to take all the risk for your own benefit.

Re: Can I have some help on Fish please?

Re: Riddle me this

I hear this stuff a lot and any ironic amusement gained has long gone. The fruit is too low hanging to gain any satisfaction from mocking anyway.

Re: BC Provincial Election

I think that Kinder Morgan is more or less a done deal, whereas the gateway project is far from certain.

Edit: And that's exactly what JonboyE said... doh!

Re: BC Provincial Election

It doesn't surprise me. People who vote to the right either lie or don't say who they are voting for to a larger extent than the left. Pollsters in the UK have compensated for this since Kinnock...

Re: Health insurance

Your msp premium needs to be paid. If you don't know whether or not your employer is paying, it probably means they aren't. Its not like the US.

Re: Permanent Residency Card Extension

Sorry, I accidentally a word.

I meant that if they had been on holiday to Canada in the last few years they wouldn't need to declare a 3+ year absence on the form.

Once they are in Canada, they...

True. It would help if he'd come here on holiday or something in the meantime.

Re: student loan court action? is traveling and applying for canadian PR affected?

Call them up, tell them you can't pay. Offer them 10p on the pound. They probably bought the debt for 5p and will still do very nicely out of you.
