I think we (mbrs of the CF) need to take a chill pill on this one. 1) The professor has an agenda. Yes, big deal. He got his hands on some ambiguous stuff, and now he's pushing himself on the front pages of newspapers trying to shamelessly promote himself on the backs of soldiers. However, this...

Lol...I don't see any real need to keep hitting this poor lady. After all, she's still reeling from Rick Mercer's "injurious" blow to her pride (based as it is on her mere academic credentials).

Lol..he's playing the centre. He can't afford a position because he's trying to appeal to the anti-war left and the realist centre. The minute he takes a hard stand, he'll lose votes. I betcha this will happen: 1) Election near the end of 2007/2008. 2) If he wins a minority, he puts...

From watching the debates, Mr. Coderre isn't an effective debater at all...he screams and yells alot, and throws out the odd good soundbite. Critical thinking be damned!

"Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett says she's looking forward to seeing the Conservative government's so-called three-D approach - defence, development and diplomacy - in action." Excuse me, but wasn't it Paul Martin's Liberal government that released Canada's Foreign Policy Statement, where the 3-D...

Maybe it's time to unleash the blogsphere on this. They did humiliate the CBC over creative editing of one of Harper's press conferences...maybe it's time they paid for supporting inappropriate humour.

While people give the Roman Catholic Church a hard time for sticking to their guns on unpopular religious doctrine issues, Imams get to dabble in bathing suits. Thank Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit I'm a damn Anglican!

I was always told to never have my hair cut shorter than a 2 1/2 by my Sgts Major. However, as I'm an officer I think I'm expected to have hair or something to that effect. As with all these issues, I always defer to the RSM.

Lol...despite the invitation for him to stay in Egypt, the great Imam definately won't. While the Egyptian government does tolerate some Islamist ideas, it doesn't hesitate to "disappear" those who begin to agitate too much against secularism. Honestly, I have to admire some predominantly...

The comrades have to do something! Support for the mission is back over 50%!

Actually, the best argument about Afghanistan was by the PM, and didn't involve moral issues. UIf we fail in Afghanistan, we'll simply end up there again and again...

For me, this is simple. Don't read material that may be viewed as offensive while in uniform. If makes people uncomfortable, and portrays the military in a negative light. That includes such things as Playboy, Hustler, Mein Kampf (even if for legitimate scholarly purposes...read it in...

I understand (although I'm not a lawyer) that a defence exists, left over from old Anglo-Saxon law, called "extreme provocation". I know of its rather disgusting use in wife abuse cases (ei "she called my member short") but can it also apply to sex crimes? Has it ever been used in a vigilante case?

Note he did not respond to valid criticism of his article such as that by Peter Mansbridge. Peter Worthington for the Order of Canada?

It's always comforting to keep quiet  when asked your opinion. But that's how things like the holocaust happen. It may be uncomfortable to get your hands dirty helping out. You may even suffer some stings on your hands and in your mind as you wonder if what you're doing is right. But at the...

Has he flipfloped as of today? Will his "withdrawal with honour" prior to 2009 include running from Kandahar and leaving aid-workers to the mercy of the Taliban? Can he even make that timeline? (Election Apr 07, three months handover, Sep annoucement, 3 months coord with other NATO nations for...

This guy's probably still traumatized by the lack of government interference in the Canadian industry. Easy on'em boys, he's already destroyed by the cancellation of some television projects for sub-standard actors while we're getting new protective equipment.

I'd never vote Liberal now...they're so ignorant of the reality outside of Canada and they're making no effort to learn. They'll continue to make a laughing-stock out of this country with stupid comments such as Dion's.

Reading the press release, I can detect a polling bias already. It describes Afghanistan as part of the "Global War on Terror", which usually turns people off to our deployment right away. I wouldn't doubt that the questioners put the term in their preface to the question. Anti-Americanism gets...

Dion is a typical academic - talking about a "Marshall Plan II" is absolutely great as it will provide an endless forum for debate and fuzzy-feelings, and does not have any of the risk action usually entails. However, right now I think he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. While the...
