    The Solution (terrorism in Iraq/etc)

    It could also be argued the other way. Why don't the terrorists bomb a building in Seoul to show that further action by the S. Korean government will only result in the exact thing they are trying to prevent? The terrorists behead a S. Korean in retaliation for the troop commitment, S. Korea...

    Canadians Losing Freedom of Speech?

    What an incredibly hypocritical statement. You don't want a judge telling you what the definition of marriage is, but it's ok for you to tell a gay person what the definition is.......??? Yeah! And what about the days when we hunted Indians, moved the Japanese into "special" camps, and made...

    Can the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP pay for what they promise?

    Paul Martin has consistently produced a surplus and used it for debt reduction, so I'd trust him not to spend it.

    Would Mandatory National Service make the CF stronger?

    The amount of bureaucracy required to run this system would be absolutely enormous. You want to move to Hickville, Saskatchewan? Ok, just wait 18 months for the paperwork to go through. Hope they didn't need you to start that new job this year.....The nearest military base is 827 km away from...

    Can the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP pay for what they promise?

    There was once a time when debt reduction became a major priority for the Canadian public. I personally agree that some cuts were acceptable to turn the debt situation around. Now we have a huge surplus, not something I'm going to complain about. Funding can be restored to certain programs now...

    Can the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP pay for what they promise?

    The Centre for Policy Alternatives is definately a left-leaning organization, but it would be very difficult to claim that the Conservative platform won't run a deficit. Numbers can be fudged, but not THAT much.

    Liberal or Conservative?

    While I'm not trying to defend the Green Party's platform, I would like to respond to your statements: I don't really understand what you mean by that. The UN definately is a recognized, legitimate body. Moving on, there are many nations that only deploy troops on UN-sanctioned missions. This...

    Can the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP pay for what they promise?

    The Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives did some math to figure out if Martin, Harper and Layton could pay for the programs/projects/tax cuts they've promised in their platforms. These are the results: "When the impacts of the Conservative platform are added to the status-quo base case, the...

    Would Mandatory National Service make the CF stronger?

    Plenty of European countries (Austria, Germany, Finland, Norway, Greece, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland) have some sort of conscription. Most of the Middle East and lots of Asian nations also have it. Conscription has always been a very controversial issue in Canada, so it would likely meet severe...

    Liberal or Conservative?

    People are quick to point out that it was the Liberals who began underfunding the military, but do remember that the Liberals came into power just as the Cold War was ending. Of course they spent less on the military, most western nations did because the major reason for spending was gone and...

    Applications to join foreign forces (Britian and Australia)

    The Royal Army website says as long as one of your citizenships is British, it doesn't matter what the other is. When asked: I am a dual national - UK/USA. Can I join? The reply given is: Yes, provided one of those nationalities is British you are eligible to apply. Another question asks: I am...
