I wasn't attacking you, I was just curious. :mellow:

Yeah CC, no need to be addversarial.

I forgot about the semicolon. :(

Also I couldn't watch the ad as every so often an advertisement for something random would start playing over it and the ad screen would go black. :(

You need a paid subsription to watch add free.  It is very annoying.

The NDP would make it free for everybody.

I'm not really sure why CCC adddedd the extra D either to be honest.

Advertisement is written as "ad".

This is verging on an addHom.

Anyway the reason I was curious was because this wasn't an isolated incident; rather CC's spelled it that way throughout the thread . I was wondering if it was a cultural thing or a personality quirk. Nothing more. :)

I need a lifeline.

Thanks for throwing a way to get this back on topic. Early polling has the Liberals gaining at expense of NDP but Conservatives are on verge of majority.

Gawd damn it. English Canada, stop failing us.

Here we go again, Harper remains adamant that he will abolish the State funding subsidies to political parties if he obtains a majority.

God I wish we had PR. Being in Laurier-Sainte-Marie my choice is basically vote for Gilles Duceppe (yeah, the man himself) or abstain.
