Correct, you don't like my view of certain old fashion ways of Canada that have to change and for that I'm very sorry.
Our son is young enough to change and it has created big disagreements !!! That's the way it goes, a great country but things need/have to change. Moving to Halifax. I can help regardless of my opinions and I love Halifax ;) Graham Grow up for heavens sake, stop taking everything so literally...yes, big deal the Irvings' leave a lot to be desired so does milk marketing and the liquor laws are a bit draconian.....as they say in Canada 'it is what it is'...irritating, but move on! If you are blaming your son for not attempting to change this and constantly banging on about it?...no wonder you are sonless in grey Britain. You son is attempting to build a life, give him a break. The people who post on here, are on the whole a decent bunch with the usual fears and tears of wanna bees and done it expatriates...thank Christ we didn't have the Internet a couple of hundred years ago...we'd never have gone forth and colonized anyone....we'd still be looking for the best microbrewery:blink: Now stop it and play nice...please |

Yes and why, I had one glass of beer in Brewdebakers, Lacewood, Halifax and was refused service by the NSLC store next door because I smelt of alcohol. Staff in our bar and Canadian friends were shocked. I complained to the NSLC-HQ-Bayers Lake and was taken for lunch and a very sincere apology given but this situation would NEVER happen in the UK, you have to be very visible drunk to be refused service. I'm 66 years old and know I can handle my beer and was not driving-no car !!

As we say in England "Bollocks" but as most Canadians can only spell in American you will not understand.
Last chance, DO NOT post in this thread again please, it's beginning to look at though you're just trolling. Once again (and for the last time), let's get this thread back on track for the OP. |
Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying. Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday. Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. I am the egg man, they are the egg men. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. Makes about as much sense as some of Graham's posts in this thread. |
Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
This why you pay so much for milk etc.
Tiny New Zealand has thrived on rising dairy exports and wants new markets. It’s probably the one file where long-time allies will find themselves at odds in the months ahead, as U.S. President Barack Obama tries to cobble together a deal to liberalize trade among the dozen countries with a combined population of 792 million. New Zealand and Canada have a lot in common as former British colonies with Westminster-style political systems, big farming interests and significant immigration populations. They are both members of the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing alliance of English-speaking countries. And then there’s milk. “We’re the world’s biggest dairy exporter, and "Canada is probably the most protectionist dairy country in the world",” Simon Tucker, New Zealand’s high commissioner, said. “It really is quite an obvious anomaly in the relationship.” New Zealand has long hoped Canada would change its ways, even insisting in 2011 Ottawa could not join the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks unless it put its “supply management” protections on the table. Good Bye/Good Luck and lets hope one day you will understand what "Free Enterprise and Competition means in the modern world !! |

But by god can he bang on about milk Why do all provincial governments control alcohol sales and gambling ?? Again unheard of in Western Europe, governments set the tax rates free enterprise does the rest. Canada, you really have a lot to learn :ohmy: Lets not mention the "bung" given to Irvings to build-if they do-ships in Halifax. You don't like me because I ask you to face the facts you ignore.

One day you will all realise how both the Federal and Provincial Governments take you for a big ride. Canada's Supply Management in farming has been criticized by all in the western world. It now only supports the "Big Boys" as the small have gone so why does Harper insist on retaining it and done at your-the consumer expense ??? What dairy produce does Canada export?? New Zealand's major export
