They are not immaterial they ARE THE F****N POLICY!!!!  Do you not grasp that the policy is to get the agreement of Parliament rather than only the minimum required by the Constitution?!?!?!?!?  You ignore the policy and then try to argue that it doesn't exist: we aren't that stupid.  And since...

Then perhaps you should read the article linked below (Mackenzie's take on Dion's various "policies"). And Dion shamelessly panders to it ...

If you read that excerpt and can't understand that: 1.  The current CF mission is authorized by parliament until Feb. 2009; 2.  further deployment will be the subject of a vote in parliament; 3.  that is expected that they will continue to need our help until 2011; and, 4.  the government is...

An almost incomprehensibly stupid question!  In Canada we have this funny little tradition called the "Speech from the Throne" where the government lays-out it's policy ... maybe you haven't heard of it? http://www.conservative.ca/EN/2888/

Just so we're all aware of what the point of this (otherwise mindless) hatred of Americans is, here is the list of "General Links" from this guy's blog (and these aren't even the "Blogs I really like" section ... that part is even more pinko):

He's special: http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/index.cfm?storyid=58D38E64-1143-EC82-2EFD2788D346FB1C Of course the article also says:

He is (or rather will be) the King: it is the rest of us that are wrong!  ... besides, it's not THAT bad

I've also had good experiences with stuff from Taiga (in Vancouver, but they do mail order) ... generally bombproof (well, not literally!), and less expensive than MEC: www.taigaworks.ca

Maybe he knows somebody ...  ::)

The U.S. system is not perfect; I suggested below that we should look more along the lines of Singapore's if we are to be committed to universal healthcare (the wisdom of which I am ignoring for now). Our biggest problem might be the mindless "model for the world" mantra/attitude: fortunately...

I was given some DriFire garments to try (www.drifire.com) and can vouch for their wicking and 'cooling' properties (at least as good as any major brand) ... I didn't test the veracity of their fire resistance claims (although they seem to have lots of evidence).  I've seen limited supply of...

I think you might be on to something ...

The end of the interview (the one with Alistair Gordon) really clarifies the mentality of Mr. Staples: "the risk is that their [the US] enemies become our enemies and if we weren't on a terrorist target list we may find ourselves [on one]... " It it NOT a "risk": the reality is they declared...

Depends on which version you are talking about: they did a major "Next-Gen" overhaul in the '90s and again in 2002 (& cruise is something on the order of Ma .8 ... faster than the C-17 and certainly fast enough!) : http://boeing.com/commercial/737family/pf/pf_tech1.html I, for one, would be...

It is worse than that: Left-ism is not about "tolerating" anything ... it is about moulding society in a particular image (which always somehow seems to benefit the moulders disproportionately), which is an inherently Authoritarian concept (and leads inexorably to increasingly authoritarian...

Only the irretrievably stupid would pay premiums to an insurer that does pay not claims (Darwin might argue that this is another benefit).  More socialist B.S./dogma.  The simple fact of the matter is that any insurer will not last if they cannot deliver the product that is demanded by...

Not in the long run ... economics 101: profits depend not on minimizing cost, but rather on maximizing the difference between cost and REVENUE.  In the public case (where revenue is fixed) the only ostensible incentive is to minimize costs (to whatever the legally-mandated minimum level of...

I'm not sure how "worthy" it is, and while there's certainly lots of room for debate, I would start by looking at what is being accomplished in Singapore ... very brief overview here: http://www.watsonwyatt.com/europe/pubs/healthcare/render2.asp?ID=13850

The thought of trusting my life to an organization committed to minimizing their costs scares the hell out of me (moreso than an organization whose long term survival depends on its ability to provide me with the goods and services I demand at a price that is acceptable to me). Particularly...

Okayyy ... Sicko: http://www.reason.com/news/show/120998.html another of his movies: http://www.davekopel.org/terror/59Deceits.pdf Evidently, you are wrong: the falsehoods and misleading information (sometime grossly misleading) in his "documentaries" are well documented (I just provided you...
