The Cost of the Afghanistan War
Buckdog: Think Tank Already Challenging Ottawa Over Cost Of Afghanistan War
So ... if the Harper Government and the Liberal administration before it had listened to Layton and the New Democrats, this outrageous expenditure of public funds would not have been so extreme and a portion of it could have perhaps been used to actually do something constructive in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, almost 100 Canadian soldiers are dead, and you are paying a fortune for Harper to play 'Bush's lapdog' in international affairs!!
A bloody shame!
NOTE: Military apologists, Conservatives and Right Wing Liberals will likely contest the Rideau Institute's numbers saying that they include salaries and benefits for the troops. What refutes their argument is the increase in the actual size of the Canadian Armed Forces since Harper took power.

Women's voices get higher in pitch at most fertile point of monthly cycle, say researchers | Mail Online
Unlike many mammals, there are no obvious outward signs when women are fertile. Evolutionary biologists argue that women evolved "hidden ovulation" in prehistoric times as a way of tricking men into staying around for much longer.

It offers psychological benefits; by varying the temperature of the water and the power of the jets, relaxation or stimulation can be aided.
"Endorphins are then released in the brain to make our mood more positive and feel energised. Also, because our skin contains a thousand nerve endings per square inch, creating the perfect shower to stand under is crucial in creating intense and extremely pleasurable physical sensations.
"As an added bonus, showers generate negative ions that also have an uplifting effect on mood, so help to further reduce stress, wash away frustrations and dissolve muscle tension."

It's what would happen if we had proportional representation. It's what would best represent the wishes of the majority of voters. And it just might save Canada from an autocratic Prime Minister who supports the very policies of deregulation, market fundamentalism and militarism that have led to the economic collapse in the United States and the continuing devastation of the global climate.

Further, he pointed out, in response to one of the big issues of the
day, the solidity of the housing market, that "we acted early on the 40
year mortgage." You mean the irresponsible 40 year mortgages that your
very own Deficit Jim brought us in 2006? You brought it in and then acted just in July of this year to yank it back and deserve plaudits? Oh, OK then.
