Derek 2.0

It was no fault of the Arrow or its designers, just the threat it was intended to counter, streams of H-Bomb laden Soviet bombers was replaced by ICBMs.........The most ironic part was that on the day of the first flight of the Arrow, the Soviets also achieved a first:

Blame not him, fore his is a history propagated by a preverse nationalism and a CBC mini-series

And from the Mountain top: And from there, the countdown will begin as to when other members (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland?) leave the sinking ship.....or are tossed overboard. When it gets to that point, food and medical aid being sent to Greeks, I then fully expect the current Socialist Government to fall and not be replaced by a different party, but by a middle aged Greek wearing olive drab and shoulder boards........ Despite the years of forced austerity, the Greek military has been ring fenced from major cuts, and not because Greek politicians fear the Turks or Albania.....

The contraction of the Canadian Forces would have happened in the early 60s, as opposed to the later 60s........but the RCAF would have had a really big and fast interceptor to defend against a diminished Soviet bomber threat....... Were former members of the Nazi party........... Not really, many of the former Avro Arrow engineers and designers, now unemployed, did find work on various, ongoing American and British programs, of which they without a doubt contributed, but hardly anything ground breaking (the Americans and British also had numerous supersonic aircraft programs running concurrent with the Arrow)............... .......But the handful of engineers involved in the development of the Iroquois engine, with its then ground breaking work with titanium, did find gainful employment in which their talents were very much so valued in the years to follow:

Perhaps, but as Napoleon once said: "Never interfere with an enemy while's he's in the process of destroying himself" I think the early LPC policy release was a strategic mistake, and doubly so, not only should they have waited until the writ was dropped, but with their rapid policy release, perhaps not their fault mind you, they received little media coverage or traction (As Canadians aren't paying attention right now)..........Simply put, Butts lost his nerve due to the NDP's uptick in the polls........

It is hypocritical, without a doubt.........I fully expected the LPC to keep their's close to their chest (like the CPC) until after the writ is dropped and Canadians are paying attention.......If you're going to play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right

That, and her retweeting of remarks that compared Greece's lenders to blackmailers and terrorists......and the NDP wants to lead a First World nation, well calling members of the EU and IMF blackmailers and terrorists?

I have no idea what he spends it on, that is why I'm asking why Mulcair bills Canadian taxpayers a greater total for his travel (and live out expenses) than Harper, Trudeau and May combined.....

No, the NDP refuse to repay several million dollars of other people's money, like Greece, which refuses to pay billions of dollars of other people's money....I see a common theme.......

Odd, I suppose Mulcair travels more than Harper, Trudeau and May combined, since his expense far exceed the other's expenses.....

So, like Greece, why are the NDP refusing to pay back money that isn't their own?

How much do the rotten Tory and Liberal Senators owe again? And why did Mulcair claim over $12000 in accommodation expense claims........when he lives in a free house well in Ottawa?

Outta of the park on that one........well done kind sir *tips hat*

Likewise Mulcair's previous support of Canada contributing to the IMF Greek bailout................. One wanted to give a bunch of bums money and the other supported the bums not paying back other countries money...........

In an NDP Government, would not Ashton be named to the cabinet?

Is not Ashton well placed in the NDP party? If, for example, Jason Kenny spoke out against the recent Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage via Twitter, would not the NDP be up in arms? Remember when you called me a blind partisan (or something to that effect) a few weeks ago? Well at least I admit it

Sure, and the last time that happened in Greece, the army punted the flock.

And just wait until the World Community has to start sending humanitarian aid packages to Greece.......should be just before the writ is dropped

Is Ashton's own remarks CPC propaganda? Why would I go elsewhere? Member August started this thread on how Grexit could effect the Federal election, in turn, the NDP has come out, not at the urging of the CPC, in support of a Greek Government that just gave the EU a giant middle finger.......that in turn will bring about even greater economic strife, if not another civil war or take over of the elected Government by the army, well the NDP support it, in addition to bringing (Greek) socialism to Canada.......... I now think, thanks to the Ashton's own words, August's thread is a very valid topic.....

I never said she can't have the position.......by all means, sing it from the rooftops....... As to the NDP position, I'm certain that we'll be graced with Mulcair's past support of loaning Greece money.....

Maybe, once the next Greek civil war is resolved, the NDP can then make a case for international debt relief of a decimated Greece, decimated by the policies that the NDP currently support......... Great mangers of the economy the NDP, "we don't worry about debt, since we have no intentions of ever paying it back"........

Hey, I hope the NDP are able to make a more convincing case as to why they support the Greek Government, as it defaults in the weeks ahead, followed by the ensuing turmoil as Greeks start to starve and riot in the dark, and why their support for such dogma would equal better results for Canada.........interesting times indeed.

Good, as the NDP will be able to explain those reasons in the weeks ahead, likewise their support of those reasons, to Canadians, as the Tories and Liberals will be certain to bring it up.......

Sure, but he's done his best to wreck the economic fortunes of his country, in part, due to his socialist beliefs........beliefs supported by the Federal NDP (in its own words)..... Now didn't Mulcair, several years back, suggest Canada should have been one of the countries to loan Greece money......money that if we had of loaned, we'd never see paid back?

Would you prefer Ashton in her own words? I think a prominent member of the NDP voicing her support for a country defaulting on billions of dollars of loans, and the ensuing chaos to follow, should be discussed.
