  1. "Chuck Sherman" is supposed to be back too.
  2. Do people really hate these movies all of a sudden or something?
  3. I thought that "American Wedding" was supposed to be the last one, but apparently there will be a new one called "American Pie: Band Camp" according to imdb.com. I don't know about this one, I will probably see it sooner or later though.

    I think Matthew Good doesn't like anyone watching him singing during recording albums. I remember they should on "Much West", or whatever it was called, the making of "The Audio of Being" and he showed how he had this area where he had that no one could see him from when he's singing...
  5. They're both great, I enjoy them both, they're both on equal grounds with me.
  6. "Loser Anthems" was released only as a limited edition...
  7. I like how people say they have screwed over the province, yet they've increased spending in healthcare in the last three years. They've made cuts in the interest of people, rather than create "jobs" so people are busy at "work", they actually are creating jobs. And you're claiming they've lied and fixed sales. Say, didn't Glen Clark trade a casion license for a new porch at his house? And Glen Clark was the leader of the N.D.P. That Casino was not in the best interest of the people either. All casinos generally bring crime to a neighbourhood, however, this neighbourhood was alright, but at the same time, it had it's problems. He made a situation that had the potential of becoming a very bad situation for that. A very avoidable one, considering all Glen Clark had to say was no to the deck. Fast Cat Ferries created work, at the time, but I wonder what happened to the workers now that the program failed? Creating real jobs is what the province needs, not ones we don't need. Fast Cats were un-neccessary, the Mediterranean has already built up a good industry for it anyways. Bidding more money doesn't necessarily mean that a company will win actually. Recently, Translink decided to let another company win the bidding. Translink is made up of mayors of different areas, basically, and they work on transportation in the lower mainland. They choose less buses instead of more when awarding a contract, I believe to a company based out of Winnipeg, rather than an American one. However, there could be several reasons for this move, the fact that one company is Canadian, and has done buisness with the transit authority before, and they know they will do a good job, or maybe because community shuttles are becoming more popular now. Translink themselves have worked hard at utilizing what they have, yes they have had to increase fares unfortunately. But, at the same time, they've been working at making a good system. Community shuttles on routes that are less used by passengers. Creating a better scheduling system. In turn, Gordon Campbell does pledge aid for the system some times when they need it. However, other systems, including education don't utilize money well. Elementary schools, should be more focused on book learning truthfully, and less on having let's draw now... or one of their many other forms of avoiding writing. There's so many events, and projects they do, that are truly un-neccessary. One way to save on text books for high schools is to make the school a semestered school. Semestered schools mean that the text books are only being used half the time by about half the school, and the other half the rest of the time. Less books are needed to be purchased. Most programs need to begin looking into in-depth ways to increase what they have to make the system better. Money can be utilized to make it worth more than what they currently have. However, people would rather blame the provincial government that made needed cuts rather than work on finding a solution.
  8. That doesn't answer anything, we'd still be in debt. And the only way out of that is to cut back.
  9. "The Italian Job" remake was better than the original.
  10. Well, I know they were popular, but they weren't incredibly popular, and being popular in Canada doesn't really get you very far. "Barenaked Ladies" went from big in Canada, to big in Canada, and Europe, and now big in Canada, Europe, U.S., etc.
  11. Click here to view the trailer.
  12. Where is this money coming from? Low interest loans. Don't banks generally want their money back? Yes, and they like to make a little money on the side too. So we're still paying off debts one way or another. Interest builds up over time too because we were not paying off our debts. The way to beat interest is what Ralph Klein did, he paid off the interest and the debt as well. It makes the load go away. The Greens would not pay off the debt, in fact they would have to keep increasing the loans they're taking out to pay off the debt, incuring more interest anyways. You can't spend money you don't have and not have a debt.
  13. The Greens will send us more in debt. Last I checked, if you're constantly taking out loans, as well as spending all your taxpayer dollars, then you're not paying off the debt. That's why we're in the situation we are in now. By spending what you don't have now, leaves less for future generations.
  14. The "Matthew Good Band" were really popular in Canada at one point actually.
  15. People will vote against a party they voted for if they feel that party did a bad job, so voting for the governor general is pretty much un-neccessary.
  16. Then, he or she couldn't be replaced for not signing bills that the house has passed.
  17. It's still a job, a christmas Santa is more ceremonial, but he is still paid. She's paid for the work she does.
  18. The Liberals have a balanced budget, now that they have that they can begin to bring in more business. Tax dollars that come in from increased business can be used to pay off the debt.
  19. Not everyone needs to be elected, the people that appoint her are. We don't need the Governor-General to be elected because it's more a ceremonial thing than giving someone actual power.
  20. Tradition, Canadians should not lose their ways, only expand upon them.
  21. The N.D.P., provinicially, only makes a bad situation worse. The N.D.P. spends money we don't have. By spending more than there is now, less is left for the people of the future. Has so many people forgotten the Fast Cat Ferries Fiasco? Gordon Campbell and the rest of the B.C. Liberals have made tough cuts, but cuts have to be made. When kitchen staff in hospitals are making more than the national average, a roll back is not un-fair, it's keeping us with the national average. Doctors, and Nurses make more money in B.C. than any where else in Canada. Nurses received a nice bonus recently even. Under the B.C. Liberals, health care spending has actually increased not decreased. The last time the teachers wanted to strike for money, the B.C. Liberals drew a pie chart, and said "this is the budget for B.C., roughly." they proceeded to ask the union "where do you want us to cut?". The Union refused to make those cuts that would affect other unions. The N.D.P. mismanaged money, money was being used ineffectively, and often in the wrong areas. The B.C. Liberals made cuts and have re-directed the money elsewhere to have it used more effectively. They haven't given into unions demands, when the N.D.P. did, strikes, especially in the education system, happened far more often. Business is beginning to boom in B.C. thanks to what the Liberals have been doing. Is this really the time to turn over the wheel to a government who never helped create any real jobs in B.C.? Or do Fast Cat Ferries count as creating real jobs?
  22. If the Prime Minister wants he can replace the Governor General at any time.
  23. Isn't that similar to American celbrity's getting behind a cause?
  24. He says 14 in Spanish... And apparently it's because the producer produced albums 1,2,3 by them, and then if include the best ofs, then the one "Vertigo" is on is the 14th album, which was produced by the same producer as 1,2, and 3. My favourite song of the year for a radio single: Limblifter - "Jumbo Jet Headache"
  25. As in, get rid of the King/Queen which the commonwealth still has? ;) The King/Queen has no real power in the Canadian or British system even. I meant modified in how the voting system is done and some of the set up, but it is still somewhat similar too.
