Ragging the puck is our national game.

Ragging the puck in politics is something we inherited from the British.

Cant let facts like that get in the way of a new grievance to shit on lol

 

[Colin Parkinson]

Hmmm I wonder who was at the helm of that period where DART did not deploy? How was our humanitarian response record in JT's tenure?

so, Samaritans Purse sends a DC8 full of tents the day after the hurricane. On the Sunday it is their B757 full of whatever that lands in Kingston. On Monday there is a full hospital setup complete with OR, ICU and ward space. Meanwhile Canada, with a hell of a lot bigger budget than the Graham's have sends 20 people to look things over and a week later still haven't done a damn thing. Pathetic

As I have suggested - for Ottawa that is a feature, not a bug.

But then you would have to make a decision and you might be wrong.

What would you do then?
