If the west were to adopt a "total war" outlook like the attitude that existed in both world wars there would little problem mustering the resources required for total victory. To bring us to that point would require more than a contemporary " Pearl Harbour" It's already been done.  her's our...

I6 said: Here's the real problem.  The west is war weary, even if they haven't melted down their pots and pans.  The common leftward mis-perception is that Barack Hussein Obama will scare all the monsters out from under the bed once he's elected.  The US would need a pretext, and no matter how...

Hmmmm, I recently "fought" a pitched battle on CBC's website comments on this subject. It, sadly devolved into a test of wills, check your wits at the door ,please. The Lieberman-Warner (US) bill got withdrawn after very little debate. Ken Livingstone is no longer the mayor of London and even...

Funny you should say that....... Friday night I had dinner witha former Liberal Candidate and lifetime Liberal. Even HE acknowledges that Dion is no leader........And then we talked about AGW. I've read ALOT about it lately. My favorite blog on the subject is; http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/...

It's been a while........ Here's my take.  To me all life is sacred.  The trees in my yard. The mosquito that bit me - and then I killed. and even my dinner.  I eat meat. -  I am meat. Life goes on. Everything alive deserves some consideration. The depravity displayed by these little monsters...

What they are agitating for (though they don't know it) is a return to civil war and anarchy for Afghans.  What they are supporting, through their protest, is a foreign intervention, by Arabs, Pakistanis, Chechens, etc in the affairs of a relativly democratic Afghanistan. In short, their claims...

Blackshirt, nice list you forgot a few things....... Sulfur emissions,  have scrubbers put on coal power plants in Ontario instead of declaring that they shouldn't exist anyway and that scrubbers wouldn't do anything about GW. Mercury, instead of legally mandating a guranteed market for those...

Geo, That wouldn't make sense either, but it is weird how many Albertans think that way. The problem is that many Albertans have never traveled east of Sask. and really have no idea how amazing ALL of this country really is.

From my perch out here in Alberta, "seperation" of Quebec never made a lot of sense to me.  The only way it could work is if a rich and powerful neighbour actively supported their nationalistic goals.  By "neighbour" I meant Canada - the US won't do it. I have always thought that the threat of...

Bad judgement, or he wanted a change of scenery - which he got.

If the Bloc are outraged, then the GG has obviously done something right! Even If Quebec were seperate.  The foundation of Quebec is not seperate from the rest of Canada. Like it or not we have history in common.  Much as the bloc would like to rewrite all of that.......

Besides, don't we have people for this security stuff? I don't think this belongs in the house - or in the public view. Didn't the late P.E. Trudeau say something to the effect that the government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation?  Not what he talking about at the time I know...

ER! Now we agree! A Canadian, "Canada First" space program would be exactly what I would want to see. An desirable alternate would be a change in US law to allow for CANADIAN suppliers. I would prefer not to reward Americans for this particular law by selling off MDA. As Canadians we do have...

Otto, Sorry - gotta disagree.  You have to remember that Africa is Europe's back yard. If there are refugees, many will end up in Europe. Some will end up here. There is a cost in not acting. Like 9-11. You can draw a line from giving up on Somalia to the present day.  If governments fail...

I'm sitting at my desk, looking out at a foot or so of fresh snow( in late April ) and wondering when this global warming thing will actually happen. I greive at how AGW has replaced environmental issues that we can actually have some control over. I'm shocked that I find myself in agreement...

T6, If what Tingbudong says is true ( I assume it is ) the short answer to internal strife could be to blame the west for all of their problems.  It doesn't have to be true to be effective. If "Tibet" is blamed on the US then I would guess people will rally around the government rather than...

I have always regarded post Mao communism in China as new dynasty. Different warloards - fundamentally the same very old system. I don't think the Chinese learned communism as "easily" as Edward suggests. I think there is a tendency for China to pragmatically accept new rules as dynasties...

I think the rub is, Shareholders are not the only stakeholders.  In a free and fair marketplace foreign ownership is fairly benign - but the field has always been tilted and without a "Canada first" attitude we can disadvantage ourselves unnecessarily when dealing with "America first" or "China...

I know it's usually bad form to disagree with the smart kids in the class, but sorry Edward. I gotta' disagree. As a small technology business owner I have had a front row seat to the "musical chairs" of foreign  buyouts.  I've seen many of my colleagues and friends suddenly find themselves...

This brings me to another point....... When did this tape show up? And how? What are the rules for presenting "evidence" like this? Sitting on the tape until an election could be construed as un-ethical. Just another thought... :)
