By and large I don't care and have no interest in what or how many sources you provide. I have much the same feeling in your opinions. To me they are all basically worthless. IMO you rely on crap knowledge and sources.

As to Carney's qualifications to be PM, that's another matter. The proof will be in the pudding as they say. However it's clear this guy does not walk on water. A metaphor you should appreciate.

Well Bobby if I got an email with link such as the first 2 you posted, I'd delete them as probable phishing attempts. I'm also familiar with Western Standard News so understand why you pick that as a reference. But that's just the sort of pot calling the kettle black logic you rely on.

As far as Carney's proven track record as a businessman, it's just a matter of opinion and definition. What is a businessman? He has an extensive background in business, no doubt about that but is in a specific sort of business much like his experience in government.

There are 100s more sources on this...but it wouldn't matter if I gave you 10000 sources. You are stale (like the majority of boomers) and unteachable.
I noticed you have nothing to say about Carney's attempted 94 billion dollar coverup.

So what?
Anyone who is even slightly decent in HR will tell you that a resume is only a 'starting point'
Resumes today can be artificially polished, references can be faked, etc, etc.
I'm not accusing Carney of anything on his resume, but a resume in itself means zilch. That's why it is a 'starting point'.

With Carney, the second you start interviewing him, it becomes as plain as day he is a shiester.
And another thing Ralph...again....because you can't get past your province newspaper and CBC.....I'll tell you about some warnings the British gave us about Carney that you probably know nothing about. None of your 'bought and paid for by the Liberals' mainstream media even touched any of this before the election. Carney's resume means nothing. Let's get some facts from his 'previous employers' instead.

I could give you 100s of these.....straight from Britain, but you and I both know that you'll just bury your head in the sand again.

Additionally, in the past month:
"This comment almost made me throw up in my mouth. Are you living under a rock?"
"This is the dumbest thing I've read on the internet this morning"
"You make no sense"

My goodness man. At what point in your emotional and cognitive development did you not acquire the skills to have reasonable discussions and constructive disagreement?

At what point you ask?
My discussions and disagreement are more than reasonable. but at the end of the day, lack of common sense and logic need to be called out.

Everyone of the 3 quotes from me are 100% reasonable because they are true in regards as to the comment they replied to.

For example:
Let's take this comment by salmonrook.

Carney has a proven track record as a business man and thats  why they voted for him after the mess that Trudeau left

I replied with "This comment almost made me throw up in my mouth. Are you living under a rock?"

A person has to be completly freaking delusional to say what salmonrook said in the quote I just shared.
This is not about opinion. This is common sense. This is common accountablity.
Mark Carney just tried to hide a 94 billion dollar deficit as an 'investment'. He got caught redhanded. NO ONE is even arguing what Carney attempted to do here.
And salmonrook goes and calls him a 'proven record as a business man'. Are you kidding me?

Again....yes...sometimes we can have our opinions and then there are times when people just post pure ignorance because they won't take their head out of the sand.
You have to understand that subtle rebuke doesn't work with guys like that. They need to hear the brutal truth until they wake up and understand how real life works.

It is not a very difficult job to do it yourself.  I find the biggest issue is the tiny amount of contact cement provided with replacements, barely enough for one boot.  I get a can of heavy duty contact cement and lay it on. Trimming the sole after gluing can be done with any decent box cutter.

Its expensive being poor.

I always think of a quote from the movie Whithnail and I: "Free to those that can afford it, and very expensive for those that cant."

I'd rather just have the car payment. I've done my time wrenching on garbage. At this point in my life my time is more important. I still enjoy wrenching on my sports cars though.

I let close buddies come and wrench at my place that live in place's that wont let them wrench. Feel sorry for them. Its expensive being poor. Can't even get free air for your tires anymore.

Ok, so you live in a condo/apt, where you going to fix your vehicle? Walmart parking lot

No the Canadian Tire lot is usually the one you see people swapping batteries,adding oil , air filters ,wiper blades.
Canadian Tire will take old oil and batteries
I know people who usually do in the parents driveway , my nephew changes the Oil at work .
It's a bummer that condo rules aren't more relaxed but I guess after 1 messy oil change that was the end of that.
Admittedly the bigger jobs like brakes \minor engine parts you need a driveway .
 When I am talking about car repairs my thoughts are mainly concerning guys, no offense to anyone.
 Always thinking of you can save yourself that shop rate X how many hours , the savings can be significant
