I echo your sentiments gentlemen. Burn Lloyd at the stake and we can offer him as a sacrifice to the Americans. It is about the only good he will be able to do. Blue Max.

What happens when you are not forthright and honest with your neighbors. They invite you over for a barbeque, but you refuse on principle because you are a recent convert as a Vegan. Unfortunately the civility becomes much shorter next and mud pies start to get thrown back and forth. It takes...

I find myself agreeing with your outlook, as one possible scenario for the future. B M.

Chretiens team is hoping to trip up and unravel the enquiry befor it completes its work, thus saving themselves anymore embarrasing revelations and most importantly, Chretien would be able to finish his memoirs as a self proficised saint. Yeh right >:D B M.

Chaos, in our Canadian democracy the gay minority (~ 8% ) are outweighing the wishes of the majority (~64% want to keep marriage as is; let them have a social union). Sorry for getting off topic, I couldn't help myself with the dig when I read your post. B M.

Well said a_majoor.   Remember Wiz, that the criminal acts that some US service members are being accused of, and fewer already convicted of, are overshadowed by the techniques that most other countries in the middle east use to this day, without the light of camera's to shine on their...

Here is the article: CVN Charles de Gaulle http://tcp.dramatools.net/archives/000102.html It appears that the French navy is having second thoughts about its flagship, the atomic-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. An un-verified account at strategypage.com indicates that the French...

Great piece to read a_majoor. Seems to sum it up perfectly. B M.

Bruce, I don't think that Canada is as democratic as we think or would like unfortunately. Blue Max

Why is it that people are opposed to BMD, when no one is apposed to NORAD, with air to air and potentially grount to air intercepts. We pay for NORAD, but we were not asked to contribute one dime for BMD. "The fact that slaughter is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously...

Actually Old Medic, the public and our parliament were not consulted. The Liberal caucus probably, maybe on Mr Dithers, made a decision, mostly based on: 1. Minority govt status. 2. Losing votes in Quebec. 3. Liberal womens caucus threatening not to support Mr Dithers in upcoming Liberal...

DaveK, maybe a little too flippant but still a good article. Ever since the US invaded Iraq and did not find an WMD's I have argued countlessly with my friends that the real reason the Americans wanted to take out Saddam was to plant the seed of democracy and see how the ideas germinated...

Sub_Guy, actually Yes, I think the US govt would go out of their way to fly reporters into some remote frozen region of Alaska and show any number of news outlets that would be climbing all over each other to get the pictures and write a story about the first enemy offensive weapon to hit N...

Sub_Guy, If I told you when a 747 was flying over you house at level flight, I doubt that you would be able to hit it, never mind a SCUD or ICBM. I read that report and am dubious as to the veracity of it. The report itself say's "If the report is accurate, the warhead could be from a North...

I have heard but have not been able to get confirmation that the French really f***ed up in their carrier design for the Charles De Gaul. Apparently the shielding around the reactors is to such a low degree that sailors are getting sick. There apparently are other design issues with this tub and...

The Americans have a fine line to walk with regard to Iran. Most Iranians seem to have a nationalist tilt on the question of Nuclear energy, believing their govt that they only wish to produce Nuclear power. At the same time most Iranians despise their autocratic ruling elite Mullah's and would...

Political Correctness run amok, Canadian style. :rage: B M.

I hate to burst your bubble but Japan has already signed on and has contributed $300M US over 6yrs starting from 1998, where as previously stated, Canada could have been involved for $0.0 CND. The Japanese investment pailes in comparison to the American $2.3 Billion budget, but obviously the...

Initially it was not clear that man could go to the moon and return unharmed, or even cancer treatment which to this day is not an exact science and yet if you where ill you would sign off on 25% chance of it working. You have to start somewhere. The alternative being you trusting the UN or...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050225.wmiss0225/BNStory/National/ It is now being reported in the Globe and Mail, that PM Martin is insisting that the US consult with Canada before any missiles be fired over Canadian airspace to intercept any perceived threats. ::) Yeah...
