Ontario Elections - Is Small Business Really the Answer?

[startupbuildervideos]

Not to be rude #UN#, but I found this rather dry. Try to engage your audience and present your content in a more exciting manner.

lol a video of CTV making fun of the candidates! /watch?v=t8CGSnzT1FI

Thumbs up so all can see :) Fox news in Canada!

[blackacidlizzard]

Here's a radical thought: Maybe the methods which have got us here can't get us out. Maybe "the answer" is to not imagine that top-down dictation is a method by which good will flourish.

@brianestoll canada does not have states

[Hillsillverr]

small business = people

big business = corporate greed

[notthere83]

@Hillsillverr unfortunately, "people" are greedy quite often too. and it is just like panitch said it - there are at least some restrictions imposed on big businesses to protect employees. but very little on small business.

though i think that shouldn't mean one should not support small businesses but instead work on better protection for employees at small businesses.

finally someone who isn't completely blinded by left or right politics.. I think jay has a hard on for the NDP.

[atosafi1]

@chad071981 Depends on your definition of "Left". People are disillusioned, politically alienated and apathetic to voting because parties in North America mirror one another in policies and politics; they are all dogmatic neoliberals who preach for deregulation, privatization, tax cuts and spending cuts. Republicans say "Jump" and Democrats say "How High?".

The most logical followup to this would be violence, sabotage and other loosely-organized expressions of discontent, as happened in London.

the volume level is horrible on most of their videos

Vote Libertarian on October 6th. The party of choice.

[BoredomCorner]

@johnnywhack Isn't "Libertarian government" a bit of an oxymoron?

[johnnywhack]

@BoredomCorner Ha! It certainly means less government.

[blackacidlizzard]

@BoredomCorner

Ever since Obama got elected, neocons think they're libertarians. I know "libertarians" who support expanding the drug war, using a national mandatory ID system, and even preemptive nuclear war against Iran.

[cheddyrod]

@BoredomCorner Yes, but so is free enterprise.

[dharmaatdawn]

@BoredomCorner hahahhaha :)

[elbowbiter1]

@deshaebeasley your opinion is self defeating. You should sign over all of your property to the richest guy in town then give him head. Why, because that is the end result of ideas like yours.

[deshaebeasley]

@elbowbiter1 as with any idiot... your comment has ZERO substance. Please do the world a favor and STFU :)

[elbowbiter1]

@deshaebeasley I give what I get, have you seen the content of your original post? Yeah, it too is void of substance. Mine at least shows that I can read into your vacuous comment and determine the motivation of the brain dead lunitic that would say a thing like that. All you can do is say STFU... which is an admittion that I am bang on. ;) Sorry for forcing you to drink my piss but you wanted it so bad I couldn't hold back and it's not my fault your mom raised you like a street walker would.

[deshaebeasley]

@elbowbiter1 wow dumbass my first comment was a question... dont worry its above your IQ.

"orry for forcing you to drink my piss but you wanted it so bad I couldn't hold back and it's not my fault your mom raised you like a street walker would." - you

trolls like you arent even funny or creative... I mean really?? this is the type of people america is filled with and you wonder why you're broke haha

[elbowbiter1]

@deshaebeasley A flamer calling out a troll after flaming? C'mon. Your first comment was a question? News to me, questions usually are maked with one of these -> ? Now I didn't say that your mom was a 'pro' I just commented that she didn't raise you to be a thinker. I see lack of IQ is a big deal for you, hense the insult. Perhaps you are projecting your own lacking? My country is deeply in the red but it is not broke, not that it matters any (you say trollish things). Look in the mirror. ;)

[deshaebeasley]

@elbowbiter1 lmao how much do they pay you? I'm curious.. everyone knows that this channel is filled with trolls like you due to the fact that they are so desperate.. and of course you wouldnt know what a question looks like! you're an idiot and waste of space. think for yourself

"My country is deeply in the red but it is not broke" - you

I dont even need to type anything.. you prove your stupidity by yourself... this is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen!

YOU LOSE!

[elbowbiter1]

@deshaebeasley whose trolling now?

[deshaebeasley]

@elbowbiter1 glad to see you acknowledge your ignorance :)

[elbowbiter1]

@deshaebeasley Low blow troll.

[igoronline]

@deshaebeasley well said! Ron Paul 2012!

[donteatthefishsticks]

@deshaebeasley RT is funded by the Russian government, The Real News relies on funding by donations. Where do you go for good progressive left journalism, conspiracy theory websites?

[deshaebeasley]

@donteatthefishsticks lmao wow you are fucking retarded! Obama gets "donations" too! wow you have no point at all! who the fuck cares where someone gets money from??? I care about what they say and they are telling your dumb ass that small businesses are a bad thing and your dumb american ass sits there and gobbles it up... how laughable

[donteatthefishsticks]

@deshaebeasley I'm Canadian and I see nothing you've contributed in this thread except trying to shout others down. Are you trolling? I'm an anarchist/socialist and while it's not exactly the socialist register, calling it neoliberal is ridiculous. Suggest something of your own please, or admit you are not here to make allies.

[donteatthefishsticks]

From an anarchist perspective, small business can be the most authoritarian. The larger the workforce the more easily they can combine to win concessions from an employer. If a store owner has one employee the employee has almost no say in the conditions of his employment, except he can quit. The anti-authoritarian left is more concerned about the unequal relationship between employer and employee than the employer's property rights.

[poyani]

@donteatthefishsticks That is not entirely true. At least in small business there are real human relations between the worker and the owner. In big business workers are just 8 digit employee numbers, with a "cost" and a "production" number justifying their existence. When the CEO of large corporations fire their workers they have the luxury of not knowing them and not caring about their families.

[donteatthefishsticks]

@poyani Yes, and it's also a fact that just as many people would rather be anonymous in the big city than be part of a small community, many employees raised in this anti-social society would rather work for a big corporation with an HR department and be a faceless nameless 8-digit employee number because they don't want to have real human relations and be subject to their boss's whims.

[elbowbiter1]

@donteatthefishsticks Where do you go for progressive left journalism? Well perhaps you mean center-right neo liberalist journalism. The real news IS the moderate progressive left. Conspiracy theory web sites? I agree who the hell believes that the gov't would lie and cover up anything. I, like you, believe everything my betters tells me without serious question... give your head a shake and quit spewing the pejorative slander from the richest 1%ers PR think tanks. It's disgusting.
