Thankyou for your service Kilroy- and keep it up!

If we accept your premise, we might infer that immigration has occurred at a faster rate than naturalization or the adjustment to Canadian values.  In Canada we have been fortunate, thus far with our particular version of multiculturalism. In Europe, however there is an emergence of some...

Unfortunately, the Liberals and the NDP have managed to re-brand peacekeeping into something that was never intended, and never really existed. Imagine how much "peace" there would be if we pulled out of Kandahar. I think Jack has it exactly right. Pearson would never have wanted that kind of...

That about describes it.  China is the one that scares me most.  It's not like Canada is an partner, allie or friend.  We're entering into a new imperial age (I think) and I worry that we have lost control of some of our best levers.

Exactly! I read the piece posted by Larry, thanks Larry.  Then I left a blunt comment.  ;)

RG45, On the face of it and in isolation, I agree with you completely. The quality of Canadian education and institutions has a lot to do with our innovative and creative capacity. However,  In the real world there are such things as strategic and national interests. In just about all other...

Vote for the NDP? Not on your or any one else's sweet nellie! I had an NDP candidate on my front porch once. I told him to get the hell off.

There's another quote from somewhere....... " Lord, let me be the man, that my dog thinks I am"  ;D

An interesting comment in the National post today: The commentor seems to have a bias of his own... ::) Here's the link

D&B Interesting observation but a sad commentary on western culture. I was raised to understand "good guys" and "bad guys", heroes and villians, and the role each plays in the world.  Now everything has faded into relativism.  Values are not valued. The admirable are not admired. Is it social...

+1 And I think we all notice the absence of any proposed alternatve.  ;) Great quote Time Expired. Sounds a little prophetic.

;D As their new leader?

I suspect they are simply waiting for him to get all cocky and do something really stupid. Once the media advertise a bit for him he'll try to stir the pot until it spills.

You misunderstand.......It's not hostility for hostility's sake. It's about credibility and accuracy. This crowd expects that we think and behave in a rational and thoughtful manner. Yes, many are impatient with silly stuff, but it's important that the silly stuff is confronted for what it is...

Oberst American presidents are often reviled in their own time. Especially by non-Americans. Canadians by and large do not pay enough attention to support their opinions with much more than feelings or impressions. We very seldom calculate alternatives objectively. A lot of Canadians think...

This little creep does offer one small virtue, as an object lesson to the politically correct and the left side of any political argument. If he can't be convicted, can he be deported? I'm sad and nauseous now....

Discussion of a "flat tax" system in parliment would be worth it if only to see Jack Layton's head explode.  >:D The only problems with a flat tax regime are how to deal with those at the lower end ( of whom there are many ) and loss of revenue from taxing the rich less ( of whom there are...

But I dont mind watching reruns of NCIS for  a view of Zeva DevilleDavid. >:D  

eurowing, Of course you will, there's a writers strike on! It's better than Idol American.  ;D

Baden Guy, Thankyou for your encouragement and support! Backadder thankyou for the most relevant post on this thread in a while!  ;) This thread is the only one where I don't feel like I might as well be in the silly buggers club. I'm not a troll, I am a human being!  ;D ( with humble...
