I didn't even vote for the guy but lets give it a chance. People wanted change; maybe it will be good and maybe it wont. And I doubt "generations" will be paying for it.
You guys can all show up at the fall drive and split off in to groups and go at it like in Anchorman. Its the only way to settle it like men

Higher compression engines will see scoring. Lots of manufactures are seeing it. All though a Ford engine can be picked up for a lot less then a Porsche engine. Porsche NA engine are a high compression engine with really tight tolerances. You should pick up a turbo as they are low compression, lessor tolerances and have extra oil squirters.
Diesel and Porsche should not be used in the same sentence. For that alone the World's end must be near.

“I committed that we would continue to engage in a responsible way . . . Canada has a role to play in the fight against (the Islamic State),” Trudeau said in a press conference in Ottawa. “But he understands the commitments I’ve made around ending the combat mission.”
He's asked when the planes are coming home and won't say so you guys are hearing what you want to hear I think...here is the clip.

And George Bush is the bravest man on earth because he eliminated those weapons of mass destruction that threatened all humanity. Oh wait

Here is exactly what he said and all he said from what I can find.

Things take organizing when and how they will transition out. He made it clear he is committed to that promise.

To anyone who doesn't think income inequality is a problem:
Please educate yourselves on this topic before spouting non-fact or evidence driven arguments. If you think you are smarter than leading economists from around the globe that advise our world leaders (including your glorious leader Stephen Harper) you need to get out of your mansions and 911s and into the urban areas and get a grip on reality. There are people working 3 jobs up to 100 hours a week to support their family to pay ludicrously high rent because they can't tuck away enough money to save for ludicrously high down payments on skyrocketing real estate, and all you have to say is they need to work harder. You look insensitive and out of touch by saying such things. Not everyone was informed enough to make a wise decision at the tender age of 17 on what career to get into or what realities would face them out of school. The job market is also extremely limited for young people; almost every job asks for 3 years experience. Also, not everyone is born into privilege or had the opportunity to get into a skilled trade or career. Some people are stuck in situations where they had to support their family right out of high school. Most inequality is a result of wealthy families passing down their wealth and continuing to hoard it indefinitely, which benefits no one. Inequality harms us all economically as a whole. Please posit a logical argument against the fact that putting more money into the hands of the impoverished and middle class will lead to higher disposable incomes across the board thus driving growth of consumer goods and services which in turn will grow our economy and if you can argue against this with facts and statistics then we can have a real discussion.

Again, no one is saying "end capitalism". We are saying, end income inequality with tax intervention to balance a system that has gotten out of control. Even free market advocates acknowledge potential problems such as monopolies and message control through clever marketing. Why can't you accept unbalanced wealth can also exist in the system?
Also, being against socialism while living in Canada just makes you look completely uneducated.
- Pensions
- Single payer free healthcare
- Fire departments
- EI
- Disability welfare
- Employer provided benefits such as health insurance and disability insurance
- Insured banks that protected us during the 2008 financial crisis
Etc are just a few examples of socialist concepts that we as Canadians are proud of.

No wealth was handed down to me..... what was handed down from my parents were principals that taught me to earn what I dream to have and not envy other peoples' wealth.
Get a life and get your f........ hands out of my pocket.

If you can't make it in Canada you can't make it anywhere. This country has so much to offer and most often those that were born here won't make the effort to do something for themselves, then blame others for their failures.

dude give your head a shake ...
I watched people parting away in my youth because they did not feel the need to go to college or university, they wanted to jsut party on . i had to pay for my education s lived in a low rentbuilding, i watched as one day of each month the taxis ( government paid for by chit) lined up to take the people to get there welfare checks, the line up fron the beer store were down the street and i could never get any sleep from the all night parties going on.
its all about choices, now these same people want my tax money so they can keep on partying.
I do all kinds of things to help the truly homeless and struggling, and have instilled that in my son who volunteers at a homeless shelter, but il be damned if i am going to let a government force me into paying for those who just want hand outs,
as Jeremy Clarkson said
"get a job, work harder, .. buy a car "
