The fact that it was an online survey stacked the odds in favour of the computer. Obviously these women already prefer their computer to their spouses otherwise they would not have been doing this survey.
Canada spends less on cash transfers, such as unemployment and family benefits, than other OECD countries and that may be one of the reasons the country fares worse than others, the report suggests.
The report echoes concerns raised by Canadian social research groups about growing income disparity in Canada at a time of strong economic growth.
"It's a consistent repudiation of the trickle-down theory," said Armine Yalnizyan, an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which has written several reports on the issue.
"Even in a period of dramatic growth in the job market – and Canada has been a leader in job growth in the G-7 in the last 10 years – trickle down has not happened," she said.
The OECD report underscores the need for federal action, she said, adding every political party except the recently elected federal Conservatives had plans to cut poverty in their campaign platforms.
"It will be interesting to see how the other parties form a coalition of interest on this issue, or if they do," Yalnizyan said.
With U.S. Democratic leader Barack Obama ahead in the polls and promising to cut poverty in half in that country within 10 years, Canada may soon be one of the only developed countries without a detailed plan to address the problem.
Respect your own faith and show it reverence by keeping it a private matter, doing so will illustrate you are confident and secure in your beliefs without the insecure need to ask others to conform as well. If you follow a religious text that requires your government to adhere to certain tenets, it would follow that moving to a secular country where all are free to choose a personal creed is not going to provide the established theocratic rule required for your beliefs. A better option would be to seek out and reside in a country that would provide the rule of law that conforms to the scripture of your faith.
In a converse situation the theocracy will not bend for the immigrated secularist, nor should it. It is not the role of any government to capitulate to every new citizen by altering law and regulation to conform to individual creed.

"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to
immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were
so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being
voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the
findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party
conversations compiled over a three-year
period. "While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our
research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply
of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever.
We could actually do just fine without them."
While it is possible that Jobs' is not dying, he has had the realisation that there is more to life than flogging expensive toys to spotty smug gits and it is time to spend some of the money he has earned enjoying himself, before it is too late. ยต
Federal Liberal Leader Stรฉphane Dion is planning to step down, possibly as early as Thursday, the Toronto Star reported.
The paper cites Liberal party insiders who say Dion will make an announcement then stay on as leader until a successor is chosen.
