Thread: Ontario schools to teach financial literacy

That could happen I suppose. It would have to be in Mississauga (a suburb of Toronto) or something though. The Leafs would throw a fit!

I agree that when the media uses the military as a backdrop, they should limit thier rethoric to thanking them for their heroic service to our country. There were quite a lot of...

Quote: Originally Posted by The Penguin Well, no, not suckers. At least some of them. Having been one at one point, it's more of a distrust of the loud-mouths and their motivations (Gore, other political figures, celebrities, etc.) Few scientists that are rational try to get out there and above the screamers in order to properly inform the public. Then there is the media, who's explanations vary from just peachy to flat out...

I'm assuming you didn't bother to read the nine errors. Have you wondered why "scientists" refuse to follow the scientific process and release their data and methodology when it relates to ACG? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163999,00.html "Noting that “sharing data and research results is a basic tenet of open scientific inquiry” and that the hockey stick research was paid for with...

Britain's nationalised rail network was broken up and privatised several years ago, ostensibly to make financial savings through "efficient" private ownership. The rail track and infrastructure is run by one company, and the rail services by several competing companies. " Network Rail staff were told to travel to a conference by coach because train travel was too expensive. The cost of 200 employees making a...

The minute they started disrespecting the CIC, they should have been escorted off the ship. IMHO. It was also disrespectful to the ship's personnel - some of whom I'm sure DO support Obama - to force them to sit there and listen to it and give the appearance...

Quote: Originally Posted by serenity These are fair points. On the other hand, a lot of cc scientists are claiming that the warnings are INsufficient, rather than too loud. Myself, I'm too plain ignorant to know, to be honest. Well, yes, a lack of accurate information is the core problem. You'll have celebrities walking around and bemoaning just about anything that they care about and then tie in AGW somehow. It's not as if...

Quote: Originally Posted by gopman This is a no brainer. If I ran a school I would make sure basic economics are taught also. You wouldn't need to know calculus for a course that basic. I didn't refer to calculus, because this won't only need some simple forms of analysis, that should be told anyway (if this isn't the case in the USA you have a far bigger problem). Economical policy is a minefield if you can't get a...

Quote: Originally Posted by AgentM I'm not so sure. I doubt if that many Ontarians cross the border regularly to see Buffalo's team (except some Leaf's fans when the Leafs are playing Buffalo maybe), and vice versa for New Yorkers. If they don't put it in Hamilton, I don't know where it'll go, it's hard to find a city as large of Hamilton in Ontario outside of Toronto. I suppose they could put one in...
