um, there is no free lunch?? I get the paper version of the Edmonton Journal and I get the electronic version as well, what is the problem?

To build up readership, the media outlets have been posting their articles online for free. Since it isn't free to produce, similar to the NY Times and Washington Post, newspapers are starting to limit how much you can consume for free.

If you want to continue to read free news, go to news aggregators like Google News. News.google.com instead of a single local source.

You will likely miss out on feature and special interest stories, but all the major items will be there. Plus, you won't get a single political bias! You can get all the other biases and perhaps get a balanced piece of journalism!!

I agree there is no free lunch and there shouldn't be!

When you live in the boonies, the paper version of newspapers is "old habits"! No local delivery, and one has to drive to pick it up.

It is a sign of the times, I know, but I don't have to like and I don't have to pay......just my $0.02.

We work most of our lives to pay for our houses!!!

Better start liking it, eh!

 

[ferniesnow]

if people knew how to save money and not borrow then u dont have to work yer whole life for a house

Well now isn't that intelligent!

Enlighten us please Willy; how doo you save $300,000 or higher for new house????

And in prime recreational localities in BC is may be well over the $500,000 or $1mil............give your head a shake big guy.

 

[ferniesnow]

sorry u have to borrow to live

Willy, I could pay rent just fine but that wouldn't be living, IMHO!

Young people are having a hard time getting enough together for a minimal down payment on a house. Open your eyes!

I'm okay Willy! There are lots of the younger generation that will never own a house and you may just be one of them but then again you could be selling the goods and be a very well-to-doo person!

im ok i built my house so dont save and pay interest lol for 40 years longer ? makes sense to me 0.o

cardboard, a few tarps, and a little air tight is all one needs right?? Then you can say, "I built my house!"

You missed the point Willy. I know the problems in the States and that is pretty much the same as in Canada...........I was talking about "your house, BuckO!"

[ferniesnow]
