All excellent points. One thing noone has mentioned is that the media edits the news we see, reconstruction isn't sexy, smiling Afghans aren't interesting, and making PM Harpers comments into something they really aren't, is an art. So I think they should use their own media center to get their...

I support the military and their objectives. It's not up to me, non-military, to tell the military what to do. As far as the mission goes, the government decides what the mission will be, that doesn't mean civilians will support it, or the military either. The problem I have is that once...

A_Majoor, great post, Klaus is right on all counts. Here's another interesting one: Global warming good for Canada, Yale study shows MICHAEL HILL Associated Press June 14, 2007 at 5:25 PM EDT GHENT, N.Y. — It's not in Al Gore's PowerPoint presentation, but there are some upsides to global...

How would it look if members of the military, had nose rings, and eyebrow rings, while in uniform? It's just not very professional. College students wear them all the time, but you can bet that they take them out for a job interview, and that companies will not allow them to be worn during work...

I'm not in the military, but I support them as much as I can. No parent should have to outlive their children, but this is happening, so, the limits should be raised for funeral expenses. Here's the but.... Why did the Dinnings get charged $3,000 for the hall? If the community wanted to show...

Yes, funny that the price of corn has now risen to great heights, so much for supply and demand. The free market is not free anymore. Something all the scientists (pro or anti) never mention is that statistically, noone can predict with any accuarcy beyond the data. In other words, if you are...

I agree, but the media are whining that they couldn't go along. Poor babies, if they didn't make up the news, maybe PM Harper would like them better. The absolute worse case of bad/biased reporting was by Grahame from the Globe and Mail, when he interviewed, 30 out of less than 40 Canadian...

So sorry. All Canadians lost another true fighter for peace, in a time of war. Thanks for protecting us, at all times.

Okay, being a non-army person, what's naptha? If it's like a truth serum, maybe we should put it in reporters coffee, would be interesting to actually get the real news for once!

As I'm NOT in the military, I guess I can reply to this article, I'm not bound by the same rules as the military, I'm sure more responses will be forthcoming once the PM is safely back home. I'm going to try a link for the first time, so be nice if it doesn't work. Afghanistan wants Canada's...

I think the Senate needs a major overhaul, as an Albertan, in a highly Conservative province, we have 5 Liberal senators and 1 conservative. Mitchell has pushed through the Kyoto bill, obviously not even thinking about how it will impact Alberta. Why should anyone in Canada not be able to vote...

Excellent! I work near an armory, and sometimes soldiers come to our cafeteria for cheap grub, I often want to approach them and show my support by thanking them, but I'm never sure they would appreciate being interrupted. Is it okay to go over and say "THANKS"?

I can't believe this was in the Star! More articles like this need to be in all media, across Canada.

I think the name "noone" says a lot about how this poster is feeling about themselves right now. Maybe work towards a name change, like "someone", when you go from "noone" to "someone" your whole attitude will improve. I have never been in the military, but I remember leaving Wainwright to go...

At first blush, that article looks bad, but thinking about it, why would the PM get involved with a fight between a sour grapes rejected candidate and the CPC? Let them fight it out, why drag the PM into it? Mini scandals created by the opposition, like the language committee, interesting that...

I thank God that I live in the best county in the world too  :cdn:, but I wonder how we can keep it that way. The only ones with guns are the criminals, this makes us easy targets. Even though we have restricted handguns since the 30's, they are readily available to the criminals. The Dawson...

I grew up in Wainwright and have a very healthy respect for the military, so I have been very happy that PM Harper has been so strong in his support of the military. I will never forget our troops being sent to Afghanistan with green camo's, what a disgrace. I have also recently talked to...

I agree, Kyoto is designed to suck money out of western nations to give our children's money to China or Russia, without reducing pollution, remember, money leaving Canada, can not be spent in Canada. Now, why do the environmentalists support this scheme? Why are they so shrill about supporting...
