Not one of you brainless anti-American racists can refute any of the following. So I suggest you stop your ranting and address some real issues. -Iraq and Al Qaeda had contacts stemming from 1993 in Sudan. In fact: -Iraq supplied AQ money funnelled through various AQ factions dating from 1993 [when the terrorists would meet in Sudan yearly at the Arab Congress] -Iraq supplied chemical materials to AQ -Iraq supplied fake documents and passports for AQ men -AQ operatives have been found in Iraq -Training facilities in Iraq [1 sw of Baghdad, 1 near Iran], have found AQ operating manuals -AQ documents have been found in Iraq on chemical weapons production [iraqi's are the world experts in producing Zyklon B [hydrogen-cyanide gas for the illiterate] -Hussein and Bin Laden in 1998 before the East African embassy bombings were both releasing the same threats to the US if sanctions were not lifted against Iraq -2 US embassies in East Africa were attacked on August 7th 1998 exactly 8 years to the day that US troops first went to Saudi Arabia [a huge issue for Bin Laden] -Israeli operatives firmly believe that Iraq help fund and sponsor the 9-11 attacks and that in 2001 many meetings were held between Iraqi officials and AQ -Atta who lead the 9-11 attacks met with Iraqi officials many times, the last in Prague [Czech authorities are adamant the meeting took place] -Only Iraq failed to condemn the 9-11 attacks, other Arab League members did condemn them The whole idea that Bin Laden, in a loose federation of terrorists, is able to launch 9-11 style attacks without a nation state helping him is ridiculous. Bin Laden has a net worth of $30 million more or less, he lost his shirt in the Sudan, when the contracts he built were not paid for. AQ needs the $. What more likely country to supply it than Iraq ? Or is of the above just a little too much for the left liberal apologists. We need to understand 'root causes'. Excuse me while i laugh my ass off. Sources [unlike the left liberal girls i prefer evidence], many sources are liberal ones. At least i am fair minded. -Forbes March 17 2003 -Daily Telegraph, April 17 2003 -UPI Sept 25 2002 -Knight Ridder, Feb 6 2003 -New York Sun, March 12 2003 -Guardian Weekly, Feb 14 1999 -Jane's Foreign Report, Sept 19 2001 -Time, Sept 24 2001 -AEI Press, 'Study of Revenge', 2001 -fas.org -Guardian, May 23 1998 -Journal of Counterterrorism, 2001, vol. 7 #4 -NY Times, Feb 6 2003 -Washington Times, Bill Gertz, Sept 21 2001 -CNN Sept 12 2001 -LA Times Dec 9 1996

Uncle Ernies last budget was ridiculed by the Dominion Bond Rating Service and Standard and Poor's - both said that between $1.2 B to 2.0 B in deficits would be expected from the Budget, contrary to Ernie's snivelling that he would balance the books. Today it is revealed that Uncle Ernie's desperate attempt to buy votes will cost an additional $2-3 Billion. Howdy Doody McGuinty's debt pile up is unknown but some suggest $5 Billion. Happy Howie Hampton, he of the Communist Party believes that money is not relevant in the post modern world and would print as much as he wants. Taxes have multiplied per household in real dollars 3 x in the past 35 years !!! Debt levels now exceed $170.000 per capita !! Ontario's debt alone is $115 Billion - $10 billion more than when Ernie took office !! Helloooooooooooo - anyone home ??????? Watch the debate - posturing, bromides, crying, tears, compassion and nary a whit about real issues. Vote for Mickey Mouse. Write him in, Mickey is better than the 3 Stooges.

Profit begets innovation. Kyoto is anti-profit and worse nothing more than an illegitimate enterprise to raise taxes, regulations and transfer money from the North to the polluting, illiberal, corrupt and unreformed and certainly unrepetant countries of Africa and the FSU. I find it immoral that the destruction of society, the environment and of humans is rewarded by a UN welfare program. This is reprehensible. Let these nations reform, create market economies and improve the lives of their people. We should never give them handouts. Period.

$87 billion is cheap. It is 1/2 of the Marshall Plan costs. You would argue that a democratised, non Communist europe is a waste of time. You will argue the same nonsense in 20 years, when Iraq's GDP per capita is about 5 x greater than it is now, and the Iraqi's are enjoying freedom. You are incomprehensible. Maybe read some facts and stop listening to CBC drivel. Try Bernard Lewis, the Sage of Middle Eastern affairs. BL had this to say in an interview: "And he spoke not just of the present -- of bin Laden, of al Qaeda -- but of the Muslim past. He was the first to explain 9/11, and the conflict between the West and the Islamic world, in terms of a historically discernible (and, since the fall of the Moors in Spain, continual) Muslim decline. This wasn't solely explicable in terms of contemporary "humiliations" -- such as the perceived injustices in Palestine, the sanctions against Iraq, the income disparities between the Christian world and the Muslim, and so forth. Blame for these differences in civilization lay with the Muslim world, and its failure to modernize. "If they can abandon grievance and victimhood," he wrote in "What Went Wrong? The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East" -- a zestful, short book published after 9/11, and required reading for everyone but the most willfully ignorant -- ". . . they can once again make the Middle East, in modern times as it was in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, a major center of civilization. For the time being, the choice is their own." Note the words, unsentimental, unyielding, yet redemptive. There's hope. They can fix their state(s) if they want to. The choice is their own. (The book was in galleys on 9/11: it wasn't a response to 9/11, but a work of prescience.) Of all the scholars of Islam, Mr. Lewis is the one whom Muslims would do best to heed. So I asked him recently if "What Went Wrong?" had been translated into Arabic. Not yet, apparently, though there's a version on the way. Get that ? The Arabs have never translated outside works on their 'culture' or society. They could care less. It is Allah above all. Convert or kill. Such a fascist mentality deserves not only to fail, but die.

Wealth breeds responsiblity. Gates is history's wealthiest and most charitable man. The art endowments, collections, museums, operas and classical orchestras i love so much, were and are funded by wealthy families. Many universities as well live off such wealthy grants. In fact Stronach of Magna just opened Austria's first private University. You will see a lot more of this to come. Gates and other philanthropists are critical in many areas of research - including those that are developing drugs to save lives, notably AIDS, Cancer and child disease research. Private charity is a noble concept - one that Canadians have long given up. I always ask my bleeding heart friends to compare their out of pocket charity spend with mine - guess what - i beat them 3x or 4x in the amount every year, every time. So much for being a rapacious right winger. Most people who make a decent wage are truly conscious of their good luck - and give back time and money. I know of no one who makes good money who does not donate a big sum [relatively] to a good cause. The Gov't is not the only simple answer to improving the lot of those who need help. Wealth allows us to help those who need it. Otherwise we will all be poor together. Kyoto is simply, anti -growth, anti-modernity, anti-wealth. The hell with that idea.

Well you know the Liberals, once they start they never cease - this is the slippery slope argument that can be used with some justification. Programs only grow, taxes only rise, and spending only accumulates with each passing political regime. This is the agenda of enforced socialism and mirrors the misery of many parts of the world - it leads to corruption, fraud, and wasted resources. We need to get back to some basics.

Reagan, Thatcher, Burke, Locke, Tocqueville, Churchill. I don't think Uncle Ernie could shine any of their shoes. In fact he would have trouble spelling their names properly.

I read somewhere [wish i remembered where] that Palestinian kids can recite the Koran but they are illiterate. Most experts that are not UNO paid apologists feel that Palestine needs the infrastructure of governance before they get the land. This to me makes sense. Arafat and his thugs make personal profit from terror. He must go. Then the institutions for peace, education, economic revival and societal construction must be built. After some time, the land can be given as a state, if they, the Palestinians deserve it. Otherwise Israel will have no choice but to fight and win this war. Arafat has to go - better off dead than alive I say.

BMGo you truly are an idiot. Go away. Iraq and Al Qaeda had contacts stemming from 1993 in Sudan. In fact: -Iraq supplied AQ money funnelled through various AQ factions dating from 1993 [when the terrorists would meet in Sudan yearly at the Arab Congress] -Iraq supplied chemical materials to AQ -Iraq supplied fake documents and passports for AQ men -AQ operatives have been found in Iraq -Training facilities in Iraq [1 sw of Baghdad, 1 near Iran], have found AQ operating manuals -AQ documents have been found in Iraq on chemical weapons production [iraqi's are the world experts in producing Zyklon B [hydrogen-cyanide gas for the illiterate] -Hussein and Bin Laden in 1998 before the East African embassy bombings were both releasing the same threats to the US if sanctions were not lifted against Iraq -2 US embassies in East Africa were attacked on August 7th 1998 exactly 8 years to the day that US troops first went to Saudi Arabia [a huge issue for Bin Laden] -Israeli operatives firmly believe that Iraq help fund and sponsor the 9-11 attacks and that in 2001 many meetings were held between Iraqi officials and AQ -Atta who lead the 9-11 attacks met with Iraqi officials many times, the last in Prague [Czech authorities are adamant the meeting took place] -Only Iraq failed to condemn the 9-11 attacks, other Arab League members did condemn them The whole idea that Bin Laden, in a loose federation of terrorists, is able to launch 9-11 style attacks without a nation state helping him is ridiculous.

Hitlery Criminaltown is the most loathsome political actor in America. She is the apogee of Dumbocrud immorality. She wants to control, nationalise, socialise everything including what is in your pants, and transfer money hither and yon. She is contemptible. Bill Clinton is the 2nd worst President in US History after that Democratic and insufferable moron Jimmy Carter. Christ i wish that Carter would shut up and go live in an old age home.

I suggest Kyoto be repealed. Ned, if Kyoto goes into force - count on Canada to renege. Kyoto will cost us $4.000 net per family in taxes and regulations. Only an utter moron like Chretien would implement it - Martin who has more common sense i do hope, will not. But Martin's best friend is Strong, Mr Kyoto himself, so who knows....Maybe Canadians just are stupid and won't care... This is not certain, but self immolation is not a smart political or economic strategy. The Russians are trying to negotiate more money out of Europe for Kyoto. If they do, they will sign it. This is the travesty of the accord - it is paying poor countries who have destroyed their environments. The US and Canada on a per capita GDP basis and economic/geographic size basis, have 2 of the cleanest countries in the world. Only Germany and Japan, who use more nuclear power, are better off. But after all it is about saving the world isn't it, not money ??????

That is the great myth - that Eves is a leader. He is not. He stands for nothing, has no policy, believes the CSR was a mistake and tells us how much he loves everyone. This is not leadership. Instead of a policy program he wastes money by lambasting Howdy Doody with negative ads. He wastes speech time calling Howdy names. Eves is a complete waste of time. True Conservatives knew that when he was elected. Many are sitting this election out. Eves is dead. He will get massacred.

WMD will be found. David McKay leading the inspections has already stated he is compiling the evidence. We should await his report. Keep in mind 100 tonnes of WMD sounds like a lot. It is not - you can hide this in 10 large holes.

Exactly. I listed a dozen of objections to Kyoto based on inadequate scientific data. I could list a dozen more. The great Biblical flood was caused by rising waters in the Atlantic about 12.000 years ago. This gave rise to every religion's obsession with the cleansing waters of an irascible God. The land bridge near Gibraltar was destroyed, killing thousands of neo-lithic dwellers in the Med sea area, and the Black Sea domain, once a small shallow lake was inundated with rushing water as the Med Sea for a time cascaded over the shallow land barrier in the Dardanelles. Such a rise in water would necessitate in today's world calls for regulation, industrial destruction, mandated emissions controls and the eradication of the auto. Nitwits abound one does suppose. Nitwits opposed to reality, common sense and the base fact that we DO NOT understand a tithe about climate and climate change.

Nah, McGuinty has no coherent plan other than to spend and tax - precisely Uncle Ernie's plan btw so either one is the same. Eves and McGuinty are interchangeable. Face it, the Tories made a colossal blunder in picking Eves. Pink Tories, Bill Davies Tories and blubbering housewives converged to lead the party into annihlation. Good riddance to these clowns. Let Flaherty run affairs and resume, with more teeth and grit and guts, the CSR, and do what needs to be done. Ernie - go home and knit some socks you twit.

$1.1 billion for 100.000 people = a lot. That means you owe $100 K per PERSON just on your Provincial debt. Add in the Federal debt and you are finished. Please write us a cheque before you die to cover your debts. In fact you as a group are technically bankrupt. Your total liabilities are far in excess of your assets. Without funds from Toronto you do not survive. I think we should sell the island and pocket the dollars to pay off our investment. Why do we need PEI ? Potatoes ? Who cares. Ann of Green Gables. Who cares. Golf Courses ? Plenty around here. Nice beaches. Bah who cares. Lobsters ? Ugly damn creatures with no meat. PEI is the welfare capital of Canada. Let's shut it down.

None at all. Shorelines retreat and expand, there is no evidence they have declined. Glaciers are not melting. The vaunted NY Times article [a lying liberal newspaper] that Glaciers were melting in Alaska had to be retracted after the Alaskan gov't threaten to sue the NY Times for misinformation. According to the Alaskan gov't website some areas are warmer in Alaska, some cooler. No glaciers have melted anywhere. In fact Antartica was found in 2002 to be 20 C cooler than Kyoto models predicted. It is crap science and crap politics. Some essential facts for tree huggers and UN lovers are below. Give me just one instance of any of these being incorrect. You can't, neither can the UN. Useless Nattering Org. ==================== The science behind Kyoto is so bad that 18.000 Climatologists and Scientists have signed a petition urging its rejection. Politicians tell you that the scientific community is united on global warming. It isn’t. Only 800 environmental activists and government scientists support Kyoto. The scientists who oppose Kyoto make the following points that the United Nations has never bothered to refute: [see Bjorn Lomberg’s ‘The Skeptical Environmentalist’ or Ezra Levant’s ‘Fight Kyoto’] 1.IPCC uses computer models to drive out forecasts. Their models do not include all the variables associated with the climate. About 1 million variables make up the climate. Technically it is impossible to model the interactions of 1 million variables. As such ‘garbage in’ and ‘garbage out’. 2.IPCC models are based on tree ring data from North America for the past 1000 years. There are many problems with this. First the data is land based and geographically limited. Most of the earth is left out. Second tree ring data is not supported by atmospheric data readings. Third, the sample size and number of years is too small to make general statements about temperature swings. 3.The earth was much warmer during the Medieval Warm Period 900-1400 AD. This warm spell ended around 1350-1400 and the temperature decreased precipitating the ‘Little Ice Age’ [1400-1900]. IPCC models can’t explain these temperature swings. 4.Data seems to indicate that there are regular occurrences like the little ice age and the medieval warm period in a rough 1500 year cycle. This cycle has repeated itself endlessly over the past 140.000 years 5.Most of any temperature increase in the 20th century apparently occurred in two phases, during 1910-1945 and from 1975-2000. The first period is impossible to align with greenhouse emissions. The second phase can be aligned with emissions but 25 years does not constitute a meaningful long term trend, especially when between 1945-1975 there were rising emissions but no corresponding increase in temperature. 6.Dr. Tim Patterson, professor of earth sciences at Ottawa's Carleton University, Dr. Pat Michaels, professor of climatology at the University of Virginia, Dr. John Christy, Professor and Director, Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama, and many others explain that these far more accurate and comprehensive satellite temperature sensors reveal only a very small temperature rise since measurements began in 1979. Dr. Christy says the trend is about 0.07C per decade, right at the edge of statistical significance and certainly far too small to be noticeable. 7.IPCC models incredibly do not include Solar Radiation effects or Cloud Cover. Solar Radiation is the most important variable in determining temperature. 8.Ice core records show that at the end of each of the last three major ice ages, temperatures rose several hundred years before CO2 levels increased. 9.At the beginning of the most recent glacial period about 114,000 years ago, CO2 remained relatively high until long after temperatures plummeted. 10.Global average CO2 levels have been found to lag behind changes in tropical sea surface temperature by six to eight months. As the ocean warms, it is unable to hold as much CO2 in solution and consequently releases the gas into the atmosphere contributing to the observed CO2 level rise. 11.Climatologists Marcel Fligge and Sami Solanki demonstrated in the respected journal, Geophysical Research Letters, that the warming or cooling of the Earth during the past four centuries closely matches variations in the Sun's brightness. 12.Publications in journals, "Science" and "Paleoceanography" show that CO2 levels were higher at the end of the last ice age than during the much warmer Eocene period, 43 million years earlier. These studies also found that CO2 levels are far higher today than they were during the relatively hot Miocene period, 17 million years ago. There is little correlation therefore between warmth and CO2 levels. 13.Furthermore the IPCC and UN have not bothered to prove that CO2 emissions are in fact dangerous and constitute a threat to the environment through field work. Nature Magazine in 2001 published a report citing that CO2 levels have often been as high as 5 times what they are today. In a North Carolina experiment 50 % more CO2 was pumped into in a forested area which resulted in faster growth, stronger trees and cones and no damage whatsoever to the ecosystem. 14.During the 1970s the UN was warning us about Global Cooling in the same apocalyptic tones. In fact it said that we had until 1980 to fix the global cooling problem. How much faith should we have in an agency that was so wrong about global cooling ? 15.How does one explain that the winter of 2003 was the coldest on record for dozens of areas around the earth ? 16.Most importantly -- Ninety five percent of CO2 emissions come from natural sources and the earth releases 210,000 mega tonnes each year of CO2 gas. Only about 5 % of this comes from industrial and human activity. Even if you wiped out the human race the effect on CO2 emissions would be only 5 % of the total released yearly. Why then worry about it ?

Because the Tories will elect Flaherty, rebuild their policies, purge Uncle Ernie and the crying housewives that now run the party and get back to the real business of managing the affairs of state. Good riddance to Ernie - bring on Howdy Doody - he will screw things up, and the Tories will win in 4 years time. It is actually the best result we can expect. The worst is Uncle Slick staying on the job repudiating real Tory values and continuing to spend, ignore needed reforms and ignore the true battles that are shaping our province. Ernie - Good Riddance !!!!!!

Somalia was another Clinton debacle. UN command - Good one Bill as if the UN can fight wars. No tanks or heavy armour - Good one Bill gee this would send the 'wrong message' ie. we want to kick your ass and win the battle. Nice. No Air cover. Good one Bill, let the ground troops have no cover. No Intelligence or Special Ops. Good one Bill, fighting blind is smart. Send in only helicopters and make sure you only have 1.000 troops to fight 30.000. Good one Bill, I like those odds. Make sure the UN countries such as France and Italy cut side deals with the local warlords so that their boys don't get killed. Good one Bill, love those European morals. Make sure other UN nations dally, and dilly and don't lend you their tanks or heavy armour until it is too late. Good one Bill, got to love multi-lateralism. Clinton was a disaster. Slowly the public will learn, in spite of what the Clinton News Network ie. CNN states, what a farce he was.

How about the fact that you make claims with no facts ? How about the fact that any field research repudiates entirely the global warming thesis. I have destroyed the theory of global warming in other threads on this site. It is a welfare redistribution from the north to the south. No satellite data corrobates Kyoto. Man accounts for 5 % of CO2 and Methane emissions only. If you wiped out man nothing would change. Go live in a cave somewhere and dream of the stone age. How about you read more than just CBC UN Tripe ? Try this on for size as a starter if the words are not too large for you that is: http://www.canaht.com/Kyoto/bad_science.asp

Eves has no principle, he repudiated publicly many times the Harris Revolution, which was at best, a very timid and tepid set of reforms, tax cuts and de-regulation that did not significantly change the debt, tax load, spend levels or over-regulation that afflicts the province. Eves apologised in other words for the CSR. He is a cad. Flaherty said so and called Eves rightly 'a pink Tory'. Now with his housewives ie. Janet Hacker and Liz Dimwit, making sure Ernie is the cry baby champion of Compassionate Conservatism, he will reap his just reward. Complete destruction in the polls. I love it. For the record I am voting for Happy Howie Hampton. Anybody who is that nescient, wayward and convulsed by marxism deserves some sympathy votes.

Uncle Ernie and his little female knitting crew are dead now. They will be wiped out in the Ont. election by Howdy Doody, McGuinty. It is pretty sad when you can't be a wooden character like Howdy. Then again, it is pretty sad, when you try to buy votes, break your own tax laws, increase spend, increase debt, ignore all reforms, say nothing on Gay Marriage, say nothing on Kyoto, say nothing about security, do nothing to restructure the relationship with Ottawa....but spend lots of time on photo shoots with crying immigrants, crying seniors and crying mothers. Get Lost Ernie. You are a CLOWN.

Welcome to Gestapanada.

The good of illegal immigration is for special interest groups: -Business gets cheap labor -Professors get students to teach anti-Americanism too [this always pleases liberals] -Immigration lawyers -Demagogues -Media [nothing like heart breaking stories of Juan and Jose being shot up as they sneak across the border] -Social activists who get busy helping the newly arrived The downside is that illegal immigration drives down wages, punishes the existing poor, leads to higher crime rates, burdens the social service and with liberals leads to an apartheid anti-historical state system replete with 2 languages and no assimiliation. Things are not relative. Mexico is a failure. The people are fleeing it for a good reason. If Cali becomes Mexi-fornia they will simply move on to Oregon, Washington and Canada.

Trudeau was a failure - economic, political, and moral. Charter of Rights, racist anti-Americanism, anti-Semiticism, anti-orthodox liberalism, a sneering self smugness, NEP, higher taxes, wage/price controls, transfering $ to Quebec, social welfare, debt accumulation, military reduction... The list is endless. The only thing stupider than Trudeau are those who defend him.
