Out of luck Canucks: Canadians pissed that their government isn’t dishing out cheap internet like our government does.

Canadians pissed that their government isn’t dishing out cheap internet like our government does. We’ve covered the free government cell phone scam extensively, but did you know the FCC has now expanded the program to include cheap internet? Of course, they’ve expanded it at the precise moment that the Canuckian government has done just the opposite. Nice timing, Barack.

  • It is past the time for IHTMers to let this troll - a repeat offender with a new ID - go away. Shun the driveldribbler. Don't be goaded by its posts. Remember john, k9 and conservative republican? Could be!
    Stop engaging these morons. Olivia was missing for weeks and it was nice. Then we get sudden influx of former phlegm spitters after dinkdarkinthehead showed up. Forget these putzes. Thumb it and leave it. Don't bother reading it.

    • Surely,......you don't mean,............heaven forbid,.............TD,.......MO?

      • I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TD and MO for all of them..Oblivious, The Perv and Itchy Mitchy Poopers....................

  • Free phones, cheap internet, free medical care, free housing, free food, and free money.
    Remind me again why the hell I work and pay taxes?
    Oh, that's right, so the lazy can have free phones, cheap internet, free medical care, free housing, free food, and free money.
    If the able bodied were forced to work instead of getting all the free stuff, those truly in need might be better taken care of, and the elderly would still have the SS and Medicare that they worked all their lives for.

      • Helping others that deserve it, not that are too lazy to do for themselves.
        Remember the Bible:
        "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime"
        It's all about being self sufficient, not selfish.

        • Uh Poppa, I'm not sure that is frm the Bible. But it does apply. In the Bible, those who were better off helped those who weren't like widows and children. But the Apostle Paul pointed out that even as as a missionary, he paid his way in his trade of tenetmaking, and that he never expected anyone to be responsible for his care as long as he could work. Silas cared for hme while he was blind, but he never again relied on the people to care for him.

        • And what of the people who work themselves to death and still can't afford anything?

          • They are probably having too much taken out of their income as government tax to care for those who are too lazy or manipulative to actually hold a job and work. So take less of their money so they can care for themselves.

          • They need to find what they are capable of doing.
            I am not going to sit here and keep replying to your stupid questions, I am too busy for this shit. Don't you have some kiddie porn you need to hide?

          • So the official Republican stance on people who work two jobs a day is "get another job". Awesome.

          • So, letting the truly ill and unfortunate drown in debts is okay? Shouldn't a very small handful of lazy people getting by be okay if it means that real handicapped people can get by?

          • Reading and comprehension weren't taught at your school you shit stain pedophile?

          • No, the official stance is live within your means.
            If you can't do that working where you do now, then find a way to get a better job.
            BTW, in high school, I was in school full time and holding down 3 part time jobs, I still managed to graduate in the top 10% of my class.

          • Conservatives are not anti charity. Conservatives donate more in money, goods and services than anyone on the left. We will care for those who are ill, or injured, or mentally deficient, who cannot care for themselves. But I'm not wasting my money on the creep beggin for money next to my local sop and rob who will immediately take the money to go buy booze, cigarettes, lotto tickets and drugs. I do not choose to support those habits. I DO buy food for those who claim to be hungry. The for realones take the food and are grateful. THe scammers are pissy and cuss me out when I won't give them cash.

          • Well THEN, rather THAN. Dirkdribble doesn't get the single letter significance. Why would enybudy all ways yews the rawng one, yet spell 'them' correctly? Rather then them - or - Rather than tham.

          • So you're just better then them. Everyone who isn't "living within their means" is just a failure.

  • I do love my internet, but I don't struggle under the misapprehension that it is somehow a "right" or that The Government owes me broadband -- or that anyone else in the world has an obligation to help me pay for it, except maybe my wife and kids who share it with me.

    I'm open-minded though, and if some fathead wants to try convincing me that he should be allowed to split the Comcast bill with me, I'll gladly hear him out.

    Preferably without the childish use of profanities and vulgarities.

  • Damn it, why can't we Americans pay more? Fucking FCC, making things cheap.
